As Milky Chance prepare to share the idiosyncratic and inventive alt-pop songs that populate their new album Living In A Haze, they proudly boast over 10 million monthly Spotify listeners, an enviable touring resume (including stops at Coachella and Lollapalooza), and an upcoming schedule of world-trotting 2023 dates featuring the biggest shows of their career. Over the past decade, they've proven themselves to be, in their own low-key way, one of the biggest bands in the world. Their runaway hit debut "Stolen Dance" - which recently surpassed over 1 billion streams on Spotify - gifted Rehbein and Dausch with a platform far beyond what the duo could have imagined. They capitalized on that momentum with their 2014 debut Sadnecessary, which broke them as a global streaming and touring act, and followed that up with 2017's Blossom and 2019's Mind The Moon, which found them taking advantage of new resources to collaborate with heroes like Jack Johnson and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. On their independent debut Living In A Haze, Milky Chance thrive on writing the tightest, most groove-forward alt-pop songs imaginable - and then going back and distorting each sound into it's wildest iteration. Recorded at Jazzanova Recording Studios in Berlin with production help from DECCO, Jonas Holle, Tobias Kuhn, and Dennis Neuer as well as guest appearances from Fatoumata Diawara and Charlotte Cardin, Living In A Haze applies the band's endless musical curiosity to the propulsive logic of the best club music while delivering masterful songcraft. There are sublime moments throughout: Album opener and lead single "Living In A Haze" is an economical haymaker of a track that unfolds with an enigmatic logic, going from elegiac triplet guitar figure to a tight, post-Strokes rhythmic feel that provides the ideal musical metaphor to accompany Rehbein's dreamy delivery. Afrobeat rhythms power both "Flicker In The Dark" and "Feeling For You" - on the first providing a canvas on which to liberally splatter earthy acoustic textures and a cartoonishly colorful guitar solo, on the second lending a swiveling counterpoint to a narcotized vocal. And on "History Of Yesterday," Milky Chance marry a UKG shuffle with sunny atmospherics and cascades of reverberating piano to propel the band's breeziest chorus to date. Living In A Haze vibrates with possibility and passion - it's a thrilling juncture for band as they look forward to a heavy touring schedule in 2023 and beyond.

Alison Goldfrapp has set a towering bar for British synth-pop in the 21st century and shes only just getting started. The magnetic London-born singer, songwriter and producers seven albums with Goldfrapp were fuelled by an unfailing modernity and a sixth sense for sounds that were more timeless than any trend. With the release of her debut solo album The Love Inventionan electrifying dance-pop suiteher multi-faceted musicianship reaches a new peak.

The Love Invention marks Alisons reawakening as a dancefloor priestess, in an intoxicating showcase of the disco and house influences that have always been at the heart of her musical DNA. So Hard So Hot bottles the ephemeral joy of a dancefloor with its anthemic house beat, disco handclaps, and an exquisitely alluring vocal from Alison. The sense of uninhibited liberation courses through album highlights like In Electric Blue, a yearning synth-pop confection with a chorus as blissful as loves first butterflies. On Never Stop, she is flooded with the rush of an all-encompassing love over a buoyant, rubberised beat; the sublime synth-pop of Fever is an ode to the intoxicating majesty of the dancefloor, with a chorus that explodes as if setting off a glitter cannon.

GRAMMY Award-winning trio, Nickel Creekmandolinist Chris Thile, violinist Sara Watkins and guitarist Sean Watkinswill release Celebrants, their first new album in nine years, March 24 via Thirty Tigers. Along with the album announcement comes the song, Strangers - Watch the band perform the song on YouTube.Of the song, Thile shares, This song is an exploration of the ostensibly rewarding but often awkward, even excruciating act of catching up with an old friend. Can the connection be reforged? Should it be?

Their fifth studio album, Celebrants marks a highly anticipated return for the beloved trio and explores the inherent dynamics of human connection. Across the 18 tracks, the trio addresses love, friendship and time with lyrics both poetic and plain-spoken, as they see bridges built, crossed, burned and rebuilt. Recorded at Nashvilles RCA Studio A, the album was produced by longtime collaborator Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age, Grace Potter, Weezer) and features Mike Elizondo on bass.

Of the project, the band reflects, This is a record about embracing the friction inherent in real human connection. We begin the record yearning for and pursuing harmonious connection. We end the record having realized that truly harmonious connection can only be achieved through the dissonance that weve spent our entire adult lives trying to avoid.

In celebration of the release, the band will perform three very special sold-out shows at Nashvilles historic Ryman Auditorium this spring on April 27, 28 and 29.

Together a sum of more than their staggering parts, Nickel Creek revolutionized bluegrass and folk in the early 2000s and ushered in a new era of what we now recognize as Americana music. In a 2020 retrospective entitled, The Year Folk Broke: How Nickel Creek Made Americana The New Indie Rock, NPR Music praised, 20 years ago this month, an album arrived that seemed to speak all these languages at once: unafraid to push the boundaries of its primary genre, and packing the musical chops to bring such an eclectic vision to life. Behind it were three musicians just barely old enough to vote and continued, That makes Nickel Creek and its unofficial debut a critical point along a storied timeline, one whose innovations offer countless connections between the genres origins and its future. Once dubbed progressive newgrassers, the three musicians now fit firmly within the ranks of Americana musichowever nebulous, layered and diverse that realm may be. They have only themselves to thank.

After meeting as young children and subsequently earning the respect of the bluegrass circuit for a decade, the trio signed with venerable label, Sugar Hill Records, in 2000 and quickly broke through with their Grammy-nominated, Alison Krauss-produced self-titled LP. Since that effort, the trio has released three more studio albums to date: 2002s This Side, which won Best Contemporary Folk Album at the 45th Grammy Awards, 2005s Why Should the Fire Die? and 2014s A Dotted Line.
Each member of Nickel Creek has also taken part in many outside projects over the years. Thile is a 2012 recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship and served as the host of the American radio variety show Live from Here (formerly A Prairie Home Companion) from 2016 to 2020. He has also released collaborative albums with world-renowned musicians like Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, Brad Mehldau and Stuart Duncan as well as six studio albums with his Grammy-winning band, Punch Brothers. Sean Watkins is a co-founder of Watkins Family Hour alongside Sara, who has released three albums and maintains a long-running collaborative show in Los Angeles. Sean has also released a string of solo albums, while Saras extracurricular projects include the aforementioned Watkins Family Hour, as well as the Grammy-winning roots trio, Im With Her, which she co-founded alongside Aoife ODonovan and Sarah Jarosz. Sara has released four studio albums and has contributed fiddle to recordings by artists like Phoebe Bridgers, the Killers and John Mayer.

The time is now for Caroline Rose. Their last record, Superstar, was released on March 6, 2020. The record was critically acclaimed and positioned Rose as the next big breakthrough in music. Needless to say, the resulting pandemic grinded all momentum to a halt while at the same time throwing Roses personal life into turmoil. The result of that turmoil is the fuel that fired the creation of their latest album, The Art of Forgetting. With The Art of Forgetting, Rose took on the dual role of writer and producer. The album encapsulates the feeling of experiencing recent memories, having them turn into old ones and then ultimately forgetting those memories altogether. There is a romantic nature within the sonic landscape of this record. Tape effects and loops emulate the feeling of aging while the juxtaposition of modern acoustic-electronic textures, like lo-fi tape next to hi-fi granular synths result in some of their most mature and honest work to date.

Released in May 1972, Honky Chteau was the album that made Elton John a superstar and ushered in a new era for him.

Named after the residential studios outside Paris where the album was recorded, Honky Chteau bought a new level of simplicity and directness to Eltons music that had previously only been seen in glimpses. Shorn of the complexities and ornate orchestrations of his recent work, Honky Chateau seemed freewheeling and intimate. It was helped by Rocket Man, the record which became another of Eltons signature songs.

These special editions contain the original album, and on both vinyl and CD editions a newly created selection of outtakes from the sessions, produced from the original tapes by Matt Still, which highlight the warmth and humor of the sessions.

On CD only there are eight tracks from the album that were recorded at the Royal Festival Hall in 1972, all receiving their live debut, just a few days back in the UK after recording. Assembled with the customary care by Eltons catalog team, the album comes as a gatefold with an eight-page booklet with rare photos, memorabilia and an essay by co-curator and music writer Daryl Easlea, featuring interviews from those who were there.

Honky Chteau has been mastered at Lurssen in California, and the vinyl cut at Abbey Road.

If credibility were currency, FAKE NAMES wealth would be off thecharts. Composed of Brian Baker (Minor Threat, Bad Religion, Dag Nasty), Michael Hampton (S.O.A., Embrace), Dennis Lyxzn (Refused, INVSN,The [International] Noise Conspiracy), Johnny Temple (Girls AgainstBoys, Soulside) and the newest member Brendan Canty (Fugazi, Rites ofSpring), the band is a veritable post-hardcore dream team.

However instead of rehashing the past, Expendables is a reinventionthat sees the band dialing back the distortion and leaning into themelodies. The result pairs their unparalleled pedigree with a popsensibility thats slightly unexpected and wholly satisfying. For our
last record [2019s FAKE NAMES]the general influences were 70s U.K.punk and power-pop; but it wound up with a little classic rock vibe aswell, like the Vibrators meets Aerosmith. We never saw that coming! ,Baker explains.

For Expendables the band enlisted producer Adam Atom Greenspan (IDLES, Yeah Yeah Yeahs). Baker explains, The pop influences are alittle more out front on this one and the production really helps it shine. It sounds more direct, more urgent.Expendables is the latest exchange in a musical conversation that spans four decades. Baker aptly refers to the lineup of FAKE NAMESas a mutual admiration society and says that once the five members got in the same room together, it felt as if they had already been inthe band together for years.

Dear Reader,About a year or two ago, Naomi Yang (of Galaxie 500) reached out to meafter she rediscovered a video that we had made together in 2011, during themaking of Tramp, just before the albums release. It was for the song Serpents.The timing was uncanny, approaching the anniversary of Tramp. Thinkingabout my time in New York while in the bubble of Los Angeles and myhome. Thinking about how restless I was, and now settled down and stable.Thinking about how Aaron Dessner took a chance on me after I messagedhim with a fury of demos. He could see through the hiss and crappy vocalson my GarageBand demos, and that I had something to say. He gave me theconfidence to be loud and to scream my rage and feel founded and justifiedin my own pain. He gave me more tools to find catharsis in my work. I havecarried that with me ever since.

Being on the west coast the last two years, I look back on my communityin New York and am forever grateful. I had so many friends and peers stepup and help me unfold these demos. The album that it became. Doug Keithand Ben Lord from my original touring band, Logan Cole, Peter Silbermanfrom The Antlers, Jessica Larrabee from She Keeps Bees, Thomas Bartlett ofDoveman, Rob Moose of yMusic, Jenn Wasner of Wye Oak, Julianna Barwick,Zach Condon of Beirut, Matt Barrick (of the Walkmen), Clarice Jensen, BenLanz, Bryce Dessner, and Bryan Devendorf (of The National).

I had almost forgotten about a song titled "This Is Too Right" that didnt makeit onto the record. It was one of the first guitar riffs I had ever written andJenn Wasner sang on it with me. A song about not believing how good I had it,like the other shoe was about to drop. I hope everyone that helped make thisrecord and supported it, feel the love and admiration that I continue to holdfor all of you. I hope that in sharing this record again, with a new video andthis forgotten track, that new listeners are brought into this album and findmeaning and relevance in it today. All of the musicians on this album helpedmecome to life and perform in ways I never had before.

May these songs find you well. Sending all my love, Sharon.

Formed in 2003, The Hold Steady have released eight albums, numerous singles and played over 1000 shows. Their 9th studio album The Price of Progress will be released on 3/31 via their label, Positive Jams. The new album comes as the band turns 20 years old. It is their third record with producer Josh Kaufman, and most expansive record yet, while also being unmistakably a THS record. The band wrote these songs mostly in 2021, and a few have been part of recent live shows. Craig Finn says These are some of the most cinematic songs in The Hold Steady catalog, and the record was a joy to make. I feel like we went somewhere we havent before, which is a very exciting thing for a band that is two decades in.

The Brooklyn-based band has performed in all 50 states in the USA and throughout Canada, Europe and Australia. The Hold Steady music has appeared across movies, advertising and TV, including on Game Of Thrones and Billions, in addition to writing original material for Seth Meyers cartoon The Awesomes and Meyers 2019 stand-up comedy special Lobby Baby.

Released in early 2021, The Hold Steadys most recent record Open Door Policy, achieved the bands highest chart position of any album, debuting #6 on the Billboard Current Album Chart. Vulture gushed the record expands their horizons, and gives the Hold Steady new heft and variety without undercutting the sharpness of the hooks or singer-guitarist Craig Finns heart-wrenching novelistic lyricism.

The 20th Anniversary of The Hold Steady will see an expanded collection of activities and music release to celebrate the milestone with fans. Year five of The Weekender, The Hold Steadys annual visit to the UK with a 3-night stop in London, occurs March 10-12, 2023.

The Hold Steady is: Bobby Drake (drums), Craig Finn (vocals), Tad Kubler (guitar, vocals), Franz Nicolay (keyboards, vocals), Galen Polivka (bass), and Steve Selvidge (guitar, vocals).
