While reflecting on his Academy Award winning film adaptation of Chicago, Rob Marshall has revealed the original concept for 'Razzle Dazzle' that didn't make the cut. The original direction for 'Razzle Dazzle' was ambitious, but was ultimately cut and re-thought due to the film's tight budget and shooting schedule.

The Texas-born but Brooklyn-based artist (who records and performs as “Harriette”) has also announced the release of her debut EP, I Heart the Internet and shares another taste via its’ newest single “Goodbye Texas” which embraces a Western dancefloor glow as she ironically examines her lack of place in her home state.

Conley is also releasing the new song and video for “More Than Fine,” Where we hear how Conley flirts with someone for the first time in an endlessly alluring electropop come-on. She explains '‘More Than Fine’ is just posturing. Posturing confidence in trying to convince yourself that you are good enough to go after a specific person.

Their first full-length collection since 2020, My Best Evil Friend pays tribute to the artists that inspire them and populate their turntables; My Best Evil Friend channels Nick Lowe, Pamela Polland, Marvin Gaye, Jenny Lewis, Jesse Ed Davis, ? & The Mysterians, Plastic Ono Band, and Phil Ochs, among others.

Ahead of a series of long awaited set EU dates, the band share a further new track with the alluring skronk and post-punk elasticity of 'Lip Sync'. Paired to a video filmed, edited and directed by the band's own Luciel Brown and Rob Riggs and inspired by the American mixed-media artist Bruce Nauman's 1969 visual piece of the same name.

A deeply personal album, Davis charts its path through the eyes of Fish Bowl’s central character FiBo. She is sharing the spare, slow-building track “Call Home,” which is what Davis calls her “big pandemic feelings song.” Processing isolation from the confines of a bedroom in her mother’s house.

The album, written and recorded following the band’s move to Pittsburgh, finds the trio once again balancing the tightrope of light and dark, toying with sonic texture, and as Invisible Oranges described Spotlights’ unique “magic” that’s “flickering with unnamable emotionality.”

Before long, Becker had drawn inspiration from the repetitive disorientation of Stan Brakhage’s Dog Star Man (“Some Small Anti-Christ At The Art Show”) and Hollis Frampton’s ruin of memory on Nostalgia (“Love Song For H.R.
