Anjimile Reveals New Album "The King" Out 09/08/23 - Title Track Out Now
Anjimile Chithambo, better known as Anjimile, presents his second album, and debut for 4AD, The King. Deeply steeped in the confusion, grief, and rage of being Black in America, the title-track pushes back against the tired adage, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” hissing, “What don’t kill you almost killed you// What don’t fill you//pains you// drains you.” Following his 2020 breakthrough ‘Giver Taker’, Anjimile continues exploring what it means to be a Black trans person in America.
Listen to the title track “The King” below:
Drawing from influences ranging from religion, Phillip Glass, and lived experiences, the album is a grand step forward. Nearly every sound you hear on The King comes from two instruments: an acoustic guitar and Anjimile’s own voice. Other than a few beautiful contributions from Justine Bowe, Brad Allen Williams, Sam Gendel, and James Krivchenia (Big Thief), the album is the result of a year in LA working intimately with Grammy and Juno winner Shawn Everett.
The 10 track record arrives on Limited Edition Indie Yellow Vinyl, as well as Black Vinyl and CD. In support Anjimile is set to perform at Pop Montreal this September.

Spoon Announce 'Memory Dust' EP Out 6/13 - Listen to "Sugar Babies"
Out digitally on June 13, Memory Dust features three new Spoon recordings – the original songs “Sugar Babies” and “Silver Girl,” plus a cover of Bo Diddley’s “She’s Fine, She’s Mine.” Listen to the first single, Sugar Babies, below:
These aren’t b-sides. The recordings began during sessions for Spoon’s Grammy-nominated album, Lucifer on the Sofa, but were left unfinished. Following the record’s release and at the tail end of a year-plus of intense touring, the band came back to the sketches with renewed energy and fresh perspective. The completed tracks retain a touch of Lucifer’s character – rock ’n roll music, played in real-time – but stretch out hypnotically.

Queens of the Stone Age Announce 8th Studio Album, In Times New Roman... Share "Emotion Sickness"
In Times New Roman… the 8th studio album from Queens of the Stone Age, is raw, brutal & rough around the edges, but with a refinement that reveals itself further with each successive listen — and QOTSA founder Joshua Homme’s lyrics are as witty and withering as ever. The results are instantly identifiable; QOTSA’s sonic signature, expanded and embellished with new and unprecedented twists in virtually every song, a live in-a-room recording that showcases a band at the height of their creative powers. Alongside the announcement, the band have released the first single, Emotion Sickness on all streaming platforms, with a video to follow tomorrow (May 12th) at 9am EST.
In Times New Roman… is a party for the obscene and the clean, the outcasts and the weirdos, and anyone and everyone in between. One of the most important bands in recent rock history is BACK, and it’s no exaggeration to call this album a devastating rebirth. The 11 track Double-LP arrives on 4 Limited Edition Colour Variants (Green, Red, Clear Blue and Metallic Silver), along with black vinyl and CD.
