Bloom is an album about accumulation, ... more

The alt-rock group Framing Hanley unveiled a music video for "The Reckoning". After scrapping the plans to digitally release their Flowers EP, sold exclusively on the eponymous tour last spring, the band nonetheless continued to do so for individual songs off it - "Sweet Tooth", "Lost My Smile" and, eventually, "The Reckoning". Only the last of these was accompanied by a music video; "Sweet Tooth" came with three remix versions instead.
Additionally, the band released another song, titled "Lovesick". Whether it's to appear on an album or be a standalone single remains uncertain. However, the band's frontman Kenneth Nixon confirmed that a new LP is in the works.

Mariusz Duda, founder, main composer. bassist and lead vocalist of Polish progressive rock band Riverside, announced today via his Facebook page that he was leaving the band following a 25 years journey.
Duda cites rising tension between him and another member of the band as the reason for his departure. The dynamic had became unpleasant in the recent years, and caused the band to have a ''forced smiling'' attitude in the public eye, that could not be endured anymore.
He also cites that there is almost no possibility for the long-running band to survive following his departure, and that most of his creative process will now be focused on his Lunatic Soul project, which has already been around since 2008.

UK Trip Hop outfit Massive Attack has collaborated with US singer-songwriter Tom Waits to release the protest single "Boots on the Ground." This marks this first Tom Waits release since his 2011 album Bad As Me.
A statement from Massive Attack:
"It’s a career honour to collaborate with an artist of the magnitude, originality and integrity of Tom, but this track is arriving in an atmosphere of chaos. Across the western hemisphere, state authoritarianism and the militarisation of police forces are fusing again with neo-fascist politics. Seen within the American emergency, at home and overseas, this track contains pulses of callous impulse & abandoned mind."
And one from Waits:
"One day many years ago, I accepted an invitation from Massive Attack to collaborate. Their long release delay never worried me. Today, as in all of mankind's yesterdays, guarantees this type of song will never go out of style. Man's folly ... more

Ukrainian post-smth-core band Septa are back with the new release titled On (Not) Losing Hope.
Recorded during the ongoing russian invasion of Ukraine and produced by Connor Sweeney (ex-Loathe), the two-track release captures the band at their most raw and introspective. If I Look Back I Am Lost and Let It Rip are two sides of the same coin — paralysis and release, despair and the stubborn refusal to surrender to it.
"This represents our collective state of mind being trapped in-between places, hoping for things that will never come, reminiscing about our loss," says vocalist Eugene Tymchyk. "Not a huge comeback — but something more reflective of the world, the times, the country, the band."
