Virginia-born, LA-based multidisciplinary artist Kate Bollinger is back with “What’s This About (La La La La),” the baroque-styled opener from her long awaited kaleidoscopic debut album Songs From A Thousand Frames Of Mind, due September 27th on Ghostly International. The new track follows previously-released album previews “To Your Own Devices” and “Any Day Now,” and finds Bollinger conjuring a sense of cartoonish whimsy that places her in league with the mystical pop greats of the Elephant 6 Collective, a scene whose idiosyncratic spin on the classic rock era helped inform the patchwork sprawl of her record.

Punk rock band X has released the opening track "Ruby Church" from their new album, out Friday. The song is a powerful testament to resilience and joy, encapsulated in the line, "you stood your ground / with a smile on your face.” Exene Cervenka describes “Ruby Church” as one of her favorite songs to sing on this recording, likening it to a foreign film from the 60s starring Anna Magnani, enveloped in deep red stained-glass light. John Doe, who penned the lyrics, envisions “Ruby Church” as ‘a jeweled sanctuary where the hero protects and inspires the people around him with a gift of joy. The lyrics were written shortly after our beloved friend Paul Rubens passed. He had a super power to laugh his crazy laugh, give a knowing smirk and bring everyone along."
