Jack Antonoff Slams AI Music

Jack Antonoff

Jack Antonoff has shared some thoughts on AI music:

You don’t have to write music, you don’t have to record it and you don’t have to bring out the band and play it. And yet for us, the idea of optimizing what we do is a complete miss of the entire point of what compels us in the first place. We (myself, the band and everyone I know, frankly) have never been looking for this work to become quicker or easier. We were never frustrated by the randomness and magic it takes. We do it for that exact reason – and without the process itself ::: nothingness.

Review: MUNA – Dancing On The Wall

MUNA - Dancing On The Wall

In the history of music, there have been very few artists who have come out of the gate so strongly that it feels like they can’t miss. MUNA are one of those artists. Dancing On The Wall is the fourth studio album from the band, and was produced by MUNA’s own Naomi McPherson. The set is filled with underrated production, infectious melodies/harmonies, and crisp songwriting that somehow continues to get even better as the band releases each record. The songs on Dancing On The Wall are sure to get your body moving, as the LP features a club-ready atmosphere to it and continues to accentuate the best parts of the pop rock genre. MUNA are a rare breed of an artist who are willing to take big swings for the chance to become you’re favorite band and achieve world domination. They may just have pulled off both tasks here.

Crow and Gazelle – “The High Road” (Song Premiere)

Crow and Gazelle

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the latest single from Texas folk duo, Crow and Gazelle, called “The High Road.” The track comes from the band’s new album, Truth Be Told, that will be released on streaming services on May 15th. When speaking on the direction of the new single, the band shared:

We believe we have a soul contract together. As a couple, as friends or comrades, we have reincarnated together before, many times – millennia and centuries before and after, always seeking the higher road to find and feel real freedom. For us, that high road means we’re here to balance and harmonize the feminine and masculine for divine love. And we see the characters of Truth Be Told as the same. Remembering, when one is empowered, we both are. When one is oppressed, we all are. So we need to work together. In a place of balance, time itself is non linear, not a rigid straight line. Time, and life herself folds in and upon itself, giving us another chance (if we’re lucky) to take the high road to freedom. We set this as the first track to set the tone, that perhaps we’ve all been here before – our ancestors certainly have – in this place of being able to right the course and bring love and life back to the center. Into focus. This was the last song we wrote for the album; it came in a flurry to Mike, one night in our last days of recording the album.

If you’re enjoying the track, please consider pre-saving the album here.
