Music is everywhere. For your enjoyment (and mine) over the weekend and beyond, here is a selection of fresh #newtunes tracks.
Maybe you'll find a tune that's stuck in your head and you can't get rid of it. It just keeps playing in your head.
So what!
Music is the best self-help, and even in this crypto-bubble, it's worth sacrificing a few minutes of your time to listen to something new or even old. The musicians will be grateful, you know, every voice counts :)
But if you don't like something, just skip it.

Today's #newtunes post features some famous creatures, and here we have Nick Cave, who with his band Bad Seeds has decided to release a new album called Wild God at the end of August this year. Great production and lyrics, totally in his style which he has been doing for a few years now. What do I know, we have to wait for the whole album, maybe there will be some surplus.

The following model is even more famous. The Rolling Stones guitarist, the living dead, or legend, treats Lou Reed in the song I'm Waiting For The Man. The song is a prelude to the album to be released on 20 April, 'For The Power of the Heart: A Tribute to Lou Reed', which will feature several other famous musicians singing songs by the late Lou. Just to name a few, Joan Jett, Lucinda Williams, Rufus Wainwright, Rickie Lee Jones, The Afghan Whigs, and others. It would be worth acquiring. What can I say? I listened to this song when I was growing up and I still listen to it with pleasure.

I mentioned Kim Gordon, bassist and vocalist of Sonic Youth, a while ago, and today, on Women's Day, her third solo album The Collective is released, and Psychedelic Orgasm is the third single from the album, after Bye-Bye and I'm A Man.
Although in her mature years, Kim is still fresh, uncompromising, sharp, and punchy, more so than some younger artists.

Ren Eric Gil, or Ren for short, the younger Welsh musician with terminal Lyme disease who I started following a year ago, has a new song Back on 74, a mash-up with Message In The Bottle by the Police, proving to me once again that, when he's not hampered by illness, he's a tremendous musician, and I'm sure he's got a lot more to show.

The Filthy Tongues is an alternative rock band from Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. They've been performing unchanged since 2005. They're a new name to me, and I'll be following them (and of course listening to all five albums they've released so far).
This rock of theirs suits me just fine. The song Tricky Nicky is from their last album In These Dark Places from December last year, and they released the video two weeks ago.

Filmmaker is an electronic music producer from Colombia. He has been making music for ten years now, you could say he is very prolific, with more than twenty albums of electronic music under his belt, mostly dark, melancholic, and perfect for rainy evenings and dusty techno lounges.
This is also the case with Hollywood Cult, his latest album from February this year, a combination of darkwave and raw industrial techno, where he manipulates a selection of retro samples and rhythm machines that evoke the despair, depression, and chaotic nature of the American dream factory, along with an irresistible urge to dance, indeed, to move.

Otis Sandsjö is a Swedish composer and saxophonist, who released his third studio album Y-OTIS TRE this February. I probably would never have heard it if a friend hadn't recommended him to me, as an example of Swedish modern jazz, which, although a fusion of different styles and influences, is quite different from the American or European approach, especially in its wit and the use of a whole bunch of electronic sounds that work surprisingly coherently in each composition.
As a bonus, here's a live recording from four years ago, the Leipziger Jazztagen 2020.

Chelsea Wolfe, an American composer, and musician, also known as the princess of gothic rock and dark folk, has been performing since 2009 and this February she released her seventh album 'She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She', an album that in its name is an example of cyclicality.
Those who follow her will hear/see that the music remains in the dark and gothic styles, with perhaps a little more emphasis on experimenting with electronic sounds.
She says she draws inspiration from the legacy of Nine Inch Nails and trip-hop musician Tricky. The song Dusk is also like that, it's quick on the ears, even melodramatic, or perhaps a better term is cathartic.
🎶That's all for today, and enjoy your weekend with new songs!
