Black Lips reveal new single ‘So Far Gone’ from ‘Season Of The Peach’ and announce a companion album ‘Bebop Armageddon (Detours & Offcuts from Season Of The Peach)’

Black Lips bring the intensity on their latest single 'So Far Gone', a timeless fuzzy garage rock anthem. Its dense layers of driving, grunge-soaked guitars propelling us through its three minute duration. Drifting between moments of shimmering percussion and knotty, charged guitar lines, Black Lips offer a single which is simultaneously detailed and faithful to their raw, distinct rock-and-roll influence

Faten Kanaan announces new album ‘Diary Of A Candle’. Listen to the first single ‘Afternoon’

'Diary of a Candle' is a consoling, melodic suite – with tender woodwinds and richly-layered strings touched by the hazy atmospheres of 1970s/1980s films. Its understated heart-on sleeve romanticism follows the rhythm of nature: it bends in the breeze, drifts through the air, and settles on the ground. The ambiance is not an escapism, but the re-focusing of a lens through which humans are no longer the protagonists. Instead, a landscape's intimate details become the central figures
