maya ongaku have shared “You are Silence”, the second single from “Nothing Space Music”, out August 7th via Guruguru Brain. Written during Obon, when the spirits of ancestors are believed to return, it’s a love song told from the perspective of the dead. The trio built their own studio for the album, and tour the UK and Europe from September.
Jonathan Something shares “Country Rose,” the first single from “One More Lonesome Cowboy Song,” out 16 October via High Shelter. Born Jonathan Searles, the Connecticut songwriter recorded and produced the album alone, playing every instrument. Rooted in the cosmic cowboy tradition of Gram Parsons and Gene Clark, the recordings sit closer to Neutral Milk Hotel or Elliott Smith.
Two Runner have shared “Roadrunner”, the latest single from “Porchlight”, out 28th August via Gar Hole Records. Filmed by Ian Fuenzalida, the accompanying video follows Paige Anderson down the backroads on a dirt bike, with the song’s chorus urging you to “jump on over the line, like a roadrunner making up time.”
