On the heels of their stellar Fourth of July performance on CNN’s The Fourth in America, emerging from the pandemic with a supercharged new studio line-up, the release of JOURNEY’s epic, fifteen-track set of new original songs brings back the grand scale of the group’s greatest moments, along with updated and bold new directions and sounds.

 

As the band’s legend continues to grow larger and their touring gets bigger, Freedom is the band’s first album of new material to be released in eleven years, since 2011’s Eclipse, and in addition to legendary founder, guitarist, writer and producer Neal Schon - along with longtime keyboard player and primary lyricist Jonathan Cain and vocalist Arnel Pineda, one more member was recruited for the upcoming album — bassist extraordinaire Randy Jackson, who had played on JOURNEY’s 1986 album Raised on Radio.

Japanese Breakfast, the musical project of GRAMMY nominated artist and New York Times Best Selling author Michelle Zauner, shares a Korean language version of their hit single “Be Sweet” featuring guest vocals from So!YoON! of Se So Neon.

“We thought it would be fun to put out a special Korean version of ‘Be Sweet’ preceding our upcoming performance in Seoul. Im very grateful Yaeji helped me with the translation over a year ago,” says Zauner. “So!YoON! is one of my favorite indie artists in Seoul right now and I’m so happy we got to collab.”

Japanese Breakfast is currently on tour, dates include headline shows, festival stops at Newport Folk, Fuji Rock, Incheon Pentaport, Primavera, and dates with Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Florence + The Machine, Yo La Tengo, The Linda Lindas and Cate Le Bon. All dates below.

Two Friends and MOD SUN Drop Pop-Punk Perfection with “Timebomb”

The song is their second single of 2022, with an accompanying lyric video

Two Friends team up with MOD SUN on their latest release, “Timebomb,” a sunny song about the highs and lows of summer love. Out July 1st via Helix Records, the song draws inspiration from the pop-punk sounds of our youth, with MOD SUN’s playful lyrics painting a picture of romance that’s as explosive as it is exciting.

MOD SUN connected easily with the duo, explaining that “there's something special about the authenticity of Two Friends. They are clearly doing what they love + almost more importantly to me at least, being themselves. I love this song and had an amazing time making it with them. I got to leave my comfort zone of some of the vocal parts and in turn actually learned some new skills while creating it.”

Snakeships Join Forces With Duckwrth, Drops New Single “ALL AROUND THE WORLD”

Maya Hawke announces sophomore album “MOSS”

Maya Hawke has announced her sophomore album, MOSS, will be released on September 23rd (via Mom+Pop Music). The announcement was made during her appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

Following the release of her critically acclaimed debut album Blush, Hawke returns with a stunning second album written by Hawke, and in collaboration with Benjamin Lazar Davis, Christian Lee Hutson, and Will Graefe. MOSS serves as Hawke’s meditation on rebirth and acceptance. 

“This record is called Moss because I’ve been gathering a lot in the last few years,” Hawke says about the album. “Sitting still and collecting a green blanket of memories and feelings. Making this record was me trying to get up and shake it off and look at all of it. It was the first step in untangling myself and really trying to look at the rock under the moss.”

Kindness in the chaos: Daniels talk about the core of "Everything Everywhere All At Once"

Everything Everywhere All At Once" is now showing in over 80 cinemas in the Philippines

These days, filmmaker Daniel Kwan says, much of art is broadly struggling to confront two things: “One is this feeling of everything happening all at once—how can you put that in a story in a way that is meaningful? And the other is climate change.”

"Everything Everywhere All At Once" is most obviously Daniels' attempt at trying to encapsulate the first part, but you can sense the latter lurking in the background as well. Of course, in Daniels' language, if climate dread is an inspiration, it takes on a decidedly different look: in Jobu's (Stephanie Hsu) evil plan, everything bagel-void threatens to swallow the multiverse and destroy us all. “This project came out of our own anxieties about living in the modern world, and I think everyone I know is trying to capture that,” Kwan says. 

The feeling was already there when they were writing it in 2016, before the Trump Era and the pandemic. “We already felt overwhelmed. And, and as we were writing it, we were like, ‘Oh my God, what is happening? It's getting worse—how could it possibly get worse than this?’” Kwan says. “Everyone is trying to process that feeling, the backdrop of doom, the backdrop of chaos.”
