Ahead of their European and North American tour kick-off, Efterklang have shared concert footage from their performance at this fall's Le Guess Who? festival in Utrecht. The clip, which premiered via Line Of Best Fit, features 3 tracks off their most recent album Altid Sammen (4AD) -- 'Supertanker,' 'Verden Forsvinder' and 'Vi Er Uendelig.' The band's Casper Clausen notes,'We loved this festival so much. The curation is beyond exciting with so many national and regional legends, stars. Many of them had never performed in Europe before, all mixed up with bands like us, Bjørk DJ'ing behind a plant wall and the entire city of Utrecht turned into a festival site. This clip features our wonderful live-band performing songs from our new album Altid Sammen, and although they are in Danish I sincerely hope they translate in wonderful ways, In short they are about coming together and falling apart like cells forming when a baby is created.'

Since the SS Cotopaxi disappeared in 1925, it has become one of the most famous stories associated with the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. On November 29, 1925 the steam powered bulk carrier set off on a standard trip from Charleston, South Carolina to Havana, Cuba. No one knows where or how it vanished and none of bodies of the 32 passengers on board were ever recovered. It is one of the triangle's biggest secrets and even popped up at the end of Steven Spielberg's blockbuster, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Quentin Sauvé is a singer-songwriter from Laval, France best known for his bass duties in the excellent post-hardcore band Birds In Row.  Last year, Sauvé self-released his quiet and pensive debut solo album, Whatever It Takes, and stepped out of the shadows to show the world that he is an incredible talent on his own.  The songs on his debut are stripped down and soft, showcasing his vulnerable side and proving that “less” can, in fact, be so much more.

Brooklyn singer-songwriter Margaret Glaspy is returning with her highly anticipated new album Devotion, due out March 27 on ATO Records. Devotion is Glaspy's first full-length since her acclaimed debut 2016 Emotions and Math and marks an entirely new sonic chapter for her. Glaspy has built a reputation as a skilled guitarist, and Emotions and Math was notable for its swaggering electric guitar sounds; on Devotion she shifted gears and built songs with completely different instrumentation as their base. The results - co-produced with Los Angeles' Tyler Chester - are rich, sweeping, and melodic, a fittingly enchanting sound for a collection of 12 love songs. 'It's about letting love in even when you don't know what will happen when you do,' says Glaspy. 'It's about devoting your heart to someone or something, against all odds.'
