Founding member Trevor Phipps spoke of the song, saying in a press release: “A riff fueled interstellar endeavor sums up our third single ‘Into the Abyss’.  Our future planet is in disrepair and the fortunate are forced to flee to a distant world to continue the human race while billions of the less fortunate are left behind to meet a hellish end. Buz McGrath lights the path with a journey of melodic riffs, leads and solos that set it apart from the bulk of The Wretched; The Ruinous album.”

A brand new video, shot by videographer Neil Corbin, accompanies the single. You can watch the video here:

The album was written post-pandemic, and represents a new chapter for the band since the guitarist, Ken Susi, left in 2022. It is the first album without him. Phipps said in the same press release, “It simply came time for Unearth and Ken to take a break from working together. He’ll always be a large part of the story of this band, and we wish him the best on all of his endeavors.” 

Phipps continued, saying: “Buz (McGrath, lead guitarist) took the entire pandemic to write these songs. He pushed himself to get out of his comfort zone and explore what UNEARTH is, both past and present. Buz adding these new elements and killer song structures inspired me to be more diverse vocally. The Wretched; the Ruinous is still UNEARTH, but it’s also the most dynamic record we’ve ever done.” The album was produced by Will Putney, who had previously teamed up with the group on their 2018 album Extinction(s).

The single is the follow-up to title track single “The Wretched; The Ruinous“, and the explosive “Mother Betrayal“, which were both released this year in advance of the record.

The new song can be streamed on spotify here:  

The band was formed by Trevor Phipps, Buz McGrath, Ken Susi, Mike Rudberg, and Chris Rybicki in 1998, in Boston, Massachusetts. They released their first EP Above The Fall Of Man on independent label, Endless Fight Records in 1999, before signing with multiple other labels to release their following eight albums between 2001 and 2018. Their latest album, The Wretched; The Ruinous, will be released with Century Media Records.

The current line-up consists of Trevor Phipps on vocals, Buz McGrath on lead guitar, Peter Layman on rhythm guitar, Chris O’Toole on bass, and Mike Justian on drums.

Nile Rodgers in an iconic musician from the 1970s, he is a 3-time Grammy winner and is an inductee into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and currently sits as chairman for the Songwriters Hall of Fame. His signature chucking style of guitar can be heard in hundreds of hit songs with bands and artists such as Chic, Bowie, Diana Ross, Queen, Daft Punk, Madonna, Mick Jagger, Lady Gaga and countless other massive names in the industry.

Rodgers commented on the new collaboration with SG Lewis, stating that “SG and I have been working together at my home away from home, Abbey Road, for a couple of years now.” The collaboration is a widely coveted honour for the new musician SG Lewis and Rodgers continued to praise the track, saying “I love how effortless and cool this song is. The awesome Julian Bunetta and John Ryan wrote on this with us and killed it!”

SG Lewis is not unaccustomed to working with big names in the music industry. He began his career playing music with Disclosure, and has recently released music with big names such as Robyn and Khalid. His upcoming LP times is highly awaited, as he is a large presence in the UK and quickly becoming Britain’s next rising star.

SG Lewis commented on the track with Rodgers excitement on social media, stating that “Working with Nile Rodgers was an experience which will stay with me for the rest of my life. To have someone who has influenced not only this album, but my entire career play on this song is mind blowing.” SG Lewis explained the new single in further detail, saying that “One More was the first song I wrote for this record in L.A., and one that set me on the path to making this whole album.”

SG Lewis and Nile Rodgers collaborative track One More is available now on all streaming services and Times will be released everywhere as SG Lewis debut LP, coming February 19th.

This is the group’s first released music video to date as they are recent in the music industry. Director Green described his process and the unique creativity within the music video, stating in a press release that, “I often think this ‘behind the digital curtain’ part of 3D design looks more interesting than the final finished product since it conveys a process and an authorship. When I was approached to pitch on ‘Narrator’ I immediately thought it could be the perfect match for this very visual idea.”

Squid is comprised of 5 key members who met in university, Louis Borlase, Oliver Judge, Arthur Leadbetter, Laurie Nankivell and Anton Pearson, who became friends in Brighton in 2015. The band’s style has been defined by their relationship, saying that the group connected “over a love of ambient and jazz, they began playing together at a local jazz café. Their tastes widened and skills expanded, and soon the propulsive sounds of 1970s Germany found its way into the band’s already eclectic palate.”

In 2017, the band released their first EP Lino which helped the band gain a wider audience throughout the UK. Soon followed Squid’s most successful singles to date, Terrestrial Changeover Blues (2007-2012) and The Dial, which was produced by the renowned Dan Carey who is known for working with artists like Black Midi.

In a world of short stories and limited attention span, reflected in a music industry heavily dominated by standalone single culture, it is refreshing and promising to see a full album from a leading genre tastemaker like Flux Pavilion. Running for a little over 1 hour, .wav features 16 tracks in total, with 11 singles shared or teased over the last few years.

The record focuses heavily on melodies, vast soundscapes and carefully selected collaborations, a slight turn away from Flux Pavilion’s established style. Hard bass lines and sharp drops seemlessly give way to ethereal instrumentation and beautiful vocal harmonies. Easy to digest and listen to without being boring or predictable, .wav gently transitions from track to track while keeping the flow fresh and captivating.

The first track to premiere all the way back in July 2018 was the collaboration with Layna for ‘Symphony‘. The year after Flux Pavilion followed up with ‘Lion’s Cage‘, ‘Somebody Else‘, ‘Surrender‘, ‘20:25‘, ‘I Will Stay‘ and ‘Endless Fantasy‘. In 2020 the producer shared ‘Survive‘ in June, ‘Sink Your Teeth In‘ in August, ‘You & I‘ in September, and ‘I Believe‘ in December. Only yesterday Flux Pavillion dropped the last promotional single ‘Fall To Me‘.

Flux Pavilion teams up with a wide range of producers and guest vocalists including Feed Me, Turing Brakes, meesh, Nevve, Drowsy, Asha, Kata Kozma, Layla, Chime, GLNNA, spaceKDET, Chain Gang Of 1974, Eli-Rose Sanford and What So Not. The record is released via Circus Records, established and ran by Flux Pavilion and long-time friend and EDM veteran Doctor P. Born Joshua Steele, Flux Pavilion features on an album review and short interview for Forbes. Contributor Lisa Kocay describes the record as “texturally varied, boasting everything from emotional vocals to playful bass lines, euphoric melodies, percolating beats and a melodious dubstep take on a style of fugue by famed composer Johann Sebastian Bach“.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the diverse music and meaning of the title (.WAV standing for a higher quality Waveform Audio File), Steele adds: “This album, to me, feels like a WAV and everything that came before felt like an MP3 […] When I got popular with Flux, I sort of got stuck with having to write Flux Pavilion music. It’s been a real breath of fresh air just removing those constraints from my life and writing freely again.”

This is part of the artists reissue series, which has been ongoing and will now feature her 5th studio album and will be available on February 26th, 2021. The feminist-punk musician has previously released the records Dry, To Bring You My Love, Dance Hall at Louse Point and Rid of Me in the year 2020.

This month will see another release that is part of that reissue series, the new vinyl edition of Is This Desire? which will come with a demo vinyl as well. Another album of hers which will be released this year as part of her reissue series will be The Hope Six Demolition Project, her documentary ‘A Dog Called Money’ follows the creation of that album and screened in December 2020.

Harvey has released the demos for Dry, among other previously released demo vinyl’s last year and the track The Mess Were In. The demos are available in vinyl and also for streaming on YouTube as of yesterday January 5th, 2021.

Despite the promotional effort with the 2020 and 2021 album and demo reissue series, PJ Harvey has not had any recent performances or new music and does not have any shows coming in he 2021 year as of yet. This is likely due to safety concerns surrounding the growing global health crisis Covid-19, especially with the new lockdown laws that were announced last week in the UK

The trio have worked together once before on a similar project, another  duplet record which featured two singles Ego and Mirror. The first collaboration took place nearly ten years before, seeing release in 2011. However, neither Ego nor Mirror have yet to be released to streaming services as of 2020.

Her Revolution and His Rope mirror one another with their static cassette-tape sound, the sitar mimicking and the overarching indie-folk genre wherein they both sit comfortably. The duplet tracks differ in that Her Revolution is more reliant on calm vocals and instrumentation, whereas His Rope features a stronger beat. The two songs are extensions of one another, a style that the trio clearly prefers.

In 2019, Yorke released the latest album ANIMA which was meant with critical praise. In the same year Burial released Tunes 2011-2019 which was a collection of singles from the artist across 8 years that hadn’t been released in that form. Most recently, Four Tet released the LP Sixteen Oceans in the spring of 2020 and has been in promotion since.

Safety concerns surrounding the Covid-19 global pandemic have kept all three artists from touring in 2020 despite their recent releases. Four Tet will not be on tour in 2021, however the artist will be playing Junction 2 in Brentford on June 4th 2021. Burial similarly only has one show in the UK in 2021, playing the Doomsday Festival in Brighton on June 12th.

Thom Yorke, however, does have newly added UK tour dates to his 2021 show-dates. Yorke will also continue onto a semi-international tour with dates in Amsterdam, Belgium and Czech Republic. Notably, the artist was meant to be playing Radio City Music Hall in New York and multiple shows throughout other States in North America, however, these have been currently postponed indeterminate.
