Ty Segall’s new album, Possession, drops on Drag City tomorrow (May 30th). As previously shared, Ty enlisted his old friend and longtime collaborator, filmmaker Matt Yoka, to write with him. Shared today, Matt also directed, produced, and edited the video for ‘Buildings’, which was shot in Downtown Los Angeles and Porter Street Studio.

Listen to the latest KLOF Mag mixtape, featuring new tracks from Marc Ribot, Hayden Pedigo, Logan Farmer, Cian Nugent & The Cosmos, and Fuubutsushi. Some live and campfire moments courtesy of Ferran Orriols, Eli Winter and Cameron Knowler, and Adrianne Lenker. Plus tracks from Gwenifer Raymond and Kevin Barker, taken from Treasures Untold: A Modern 78 RPM Reader, a Record Store Day compilation Boxset from Tompkins Square.

Previously described by fellow Newcastle maverick Richard Dawson as beguiling, idiosyncratic and cinematic, watch the accompanying video to ‘Ancient Summer’, the latest single from Me Lost Me, taken from her forthcoming new album, This Material Moment. She says, “The music video is a kind of nod to ancient Roman Spring/Summer festivals and the English folk traditions I grew up with, like May Day celebrations, Morris dancing and well dressings.”

Canadian quintet Foxwarren, featuring Andy Shauf, Avery and Darryl Kissick, Dallas Bryson, and Colin Nealis, have dropped a surreal video for their latest single ‘Deadhead’, the final preview from their new album, 2, out this Friday via ANTI-. It’s a genius slice of wit and vision from the video’s Director, Joe Cappa, that transports the song onto another level.

“Maybe I’m Dreaming” is a new Anthology Recordings compilation that delves into the isolated wilds of the private pressing, where production quirks, late-night tape hiss, and one-man studio dreams were not necessarily a choice but the hand you were dealt. Documenting a spirit that’s more homespun, sometimes lonelier, and often a little weirder, listen to the first single, “Just Whistle” by the Watson Brothers Band.

A new Monday Morning Brew Playlist featuring music from Bill Withers, Dorothy Ashby, Thin Lizzy, Vanishing Twin, Elephant Stone, Gloria, The Bonk, Loma, Buck Curran & Nataly Kozlova, Kikagaku Moyo, Cory Hanson, Moon Duo, Minami Deutsch, Sunburned Hand Of The Man, Brigid Dawson and The Mothers, and Modern Nature.

INNI-K has shared her latest single and video, Beatha. As if triggered by spring, it has a pulsing earthy energy, emphasised by catchy beats and a great off-kilter fiddle riff that gives the song an untamed sense of freedom, reflecting the vitality of life and the mysterious forces of nature. Inspired by a veg-growing course, Beatha could be an anthem for self-sufficiency.

Hot on the heels of his latest album, Time Indefinite, William Tyler has announced ’41 Longfield Street Late ‘80s’, his debut collaboration with Kieran Hebden (Four Tet), who also produced and mixed the album, which was recorded in Los Angeles and Nashville, USA. Listen to the first song, If I Had a Boat, a Lyle Lovett cover, which clocks in at over 11 minutes long.

Taken from her new album, Second Circle The Horizon, listen to Sally Anne Morgan’s latest single ‘Eye is the First’ – a rustling journey featuring a repeated slow guitar appregios and a more narrative-sounding banjo with organic sounding shimmering rustles conjuring the gentle movement of a breeze. While meditative, it also joyously reveals Morgan’s deep bond with nature and how she intuitively interweaves this into her creations.

Another KLOF Mag mixtape – over an hour of music escapism with ambient, tranquil, otherworldly moments and upbeat splendour. It includes new releases from Meka, Logan Farmer, Bells Larsen, Eli Winter, The Gentle Good, Quinie, Cameron Knowler, Iona Lane, Varo, The Vernon Spring, Whitney Johnson & Lia Kohl, and The Bird’s Companion. Be sure to check out our album reviews of many of those featured and interviews.

Taken from his latest album Salt River, Sam Amidon delivered an excellent live rendition of Lou Reed’s ‘Big Sky’ on Later… With Jools Holland. In a KLOF Mag interview, Amidon told us he “exacerbated that folk-like quality in the verses…The repetitive structure of the lyrics is also very folk-like; I just felt that for all his New York edge, he was trying to give us a very simple, beautiful message.”

Fiddle and guitar duo Owen Spafford & Louis Campbell sign to Real World Records and announce Tomorrow Held. Watch the video for their lead single, MacGill, that pays homage to the creative partnership of Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell: “It’s slightly more jazz-influenced in terms of harmony and sound than the other stuff on the record,” says Spafford. “We’re going to that sweet spot at the folky end of jazz.”
