Haley shares new single 'Bratt'

HALEY (FKA Haley Bonar) has a brand new single "Bratt" - debuted this morning as Lauren Laverne's Just Added track on BBC Radio 6 Music - and you can hear it now.

"Bratt" will be paired with another new song, the as-yet unheard "My Wave", and released on a limited edition red 7" for Record Store Day 2018. And HALEY will be crossing the Atlantic to celebrate RSD with Lauren Laverne, performing live on a special show from Spillers Records, Cardiff on 20th April. The day after, Record Store Day itself (21st April) will see Haley head out on a helter-skelter tour of some of the UK’s best loved record shops, including Resident Music, Pie and Vinyl and Banquet Records.

Haley: "Bratt" was intended to be sung from a teenage perspective, appropriating that unsentimental attitude while simultaneously looking back at yourself at that age, all of the insecurities that went along with it, letting go of your self-judgement on the past."

The Go! Team unleash new single 'THE ONLY THING NEW IS U FINDING OUT ABOUT IT'

The Go! Team have unleashed “The Only Thing New is U Finding Out About It”, a brand new single following on from their acclaimed new album SEMICIRCLE (out now).

Band leader Ian Parton explains the influences behind the upbeat and mostly instrumental track:

“"The Only Thing New Is U Finding Out About It" is an expansion of an idea from a remix I did years ago. It builds around a looping Steve Reich-esque kalimba line, with a syncopated steel drum response jumping in the gaps, and by the end a full-on choir have joined in this weird math rock African/Asian hybrid thing. The title is inspired by a Mike Watt quote. It's a sentiment I'm into: that it’s up to you to go out and track down the good shit that’s out there...”

The Go! Team are just about to kick off their north american tour, with an appearance on TruTV’s The Chris Gethard Show on 10th April sandwiched between headline shows nationwide. In May, they will perform shows in Belfast and Dublin before appearances at UK summer festivals. Here is the band's full live itinerary:

SLUG announces new single 'Lackadaisical Love'

SLUG has shared his new single 'Lackadaisical Love' - Taken from the upcoming album, HiggledyPiggledy which is out 13 April 2018 on Memphis Industries.

‘Lackadaisical Love’ sees Black embrace his funkadelic side and love of Prince with probably the poppiest moment on his new record, as Ian explains:

‘Sometimes, amid the gloomy, pocket prog I write, it's nice to have some uplifting pop goodness raise its head. It was one of the rare occasions when you think, "I wouldn't add anything on there. Possibly due to the fact that there's nothing much you could probably add on.”’

HiggledyPiggledy is available to pre-order now via www.slugband.co.uk on Limited Edition Yellow LP, CD and download. SLUG has just announced a UK tour for April and May, dates below.
