RELEASES
Flo Milli has announced that she will release new album ‘Fine Ho, Stay’ later this summer, and has put out its first single, ‘Fruit Loop’.
The Hives have released a new double A-side single, featuring new songs ‘Trapdoor Solution’ and ‘The Bomb’. Both are taken from new album ‘The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons’, which is out on 11 Aug.
Ashnikko has released new single ‘Cheerleader’. “It’s twisting this perfect cheerleader into a monstrosity”, she says of the track. “It’s a commentary on the need to be fuckable to be commercially viable, and I really do feel that pressure. It’s so tiring and played out. No matter how much logic I’ve built up in my head, there’s still some carnal part of my brain that says ‘you have to be fuckable to sell this music, bitch!’ It’s draining on my spirit and makes me feel like I have literal car exhaust in my brain”. Her debut album ‘Weedkiller’ is out on 25 Aug.
