Myrkur

Plenty of good new songs this week - Nadia Reid has released a delicate and atmospheric new record, Drive-By Truckers sing about how thoughts and prayers aren't enough to deal with mass-shootings, emo-core veterans Alexisonfire are reunited and going atmospheric, LA beatmaker TOKiMONSTA gets help from EarthGang on her highly psychedelic song, Ultraista is a band made up of members of Atoms For Peace + vocalist Laura Bettinson, they released a dancey new song, dark-folk singer Myrkur goes theatrical on her new record, modern jazz meets electronica on Wacław Zimpel's new song...

Blissed out and contemplative but still very much a hyperactive Dan Deacon - Brooklyn Vegan says about producer's new song 'Sat by a Tree'. The video for it stars comedian/actor Aparna Nancherla, and thousands of bugs (watch below). The song is coming out on 'Mystic Familiar', Deacon's first album in nearly five years, on January 31.
