LISTEN & SHARE: Seth Swirsky - "I Don't Wanna Lose You"
Spotify / Apple Music

LISTEN & SHARE: Seth Swirsky - "Sunny Day"
Spotify / Apple Music 
"Ultra warm, upbeat, and power-pop-esque, as if Revolver era Beatles and early Guided by Voices stepped into the studio together."
Glide

"The gritty tune has a ’60s sensibility, with sweet harmonies and wailing guitar lines."
Indie88

"This upbeat power-pop song has unmistakable Beatlesque touches in the fuzzed up guitar breaks."
Americana UK

"'Sunny Day' is pure Swirsky — irresistible choruses with a dash of Flower Power sprinkled on top. And, just when you think you’ve got the song’s structure solved, he throws a sonic curveball."
Hollywood in Toto

"Seth Swirsky is one of those multi-faceted renaissance men with talent to spare: he sings with a gentle sweetness, he writes stunningly melodic and pretty tunes and he plays most every instrument with equal facility."
Goldmine Magazine

"This soft pop is awash in harmony and melody, a throwback to the sounds of more idealistic decades gone by. These eleven short musical delights seem to pass in the blink of an eye, leaving the hungry listener wanting far more."
Pop Matters

"This new album from Seth Swirsky can be summed up in one word: exquisite [...] Imagine all the best elements of what you love in pop: Brian Wilson during that period from Pet Sounds to Sunflower; The Beatles from Rubber Soul and Revolver and most of Todd Rundgren from Something/Anything to Hermit Of Mink Hollow, plus everything by Emmit Rhodes for good measure. I know that’s one hell of a build-up and you’re probably thinking 'no way, no how.' Well, it fucking is."
Pop Dose

"Circles and Squares, the first album released under his name, is a breathtaking ride through a musical imagination gloriously unable to rein itself in [..] It is a superbly produced affair that captures the often challenging structures of these songs with absolute clarity."
Skope Magazine

"'Trying To Keep It Simple' is a slice of pop perfection."
Music Existence

"Seth Swirsky delivers on his third studio album Circles and Squares, which is like a time machine. His voice is as smooth as silk, and he is able to paint a picture in the minds of his listeners, as he takes them back to simpler times. This record is highly eclectic, and it is extremely hard to select a favorite recording on there."
Digital Journal

"Swirsky has fashioned a marvelous mixture of beautifully understated lead and background vocals, perfectly placed horns and strings, and a host of intoxicating melodies that swing and sway."
Goldmine Magazine
Today, indie-pop singer-songwriter Seth Swirsky shares "I Don't Wanna Lose You," the second single off his forthcoming album, Songs From The Green Couch, due April 8 via Lolipop Records.

Of the track, Seth wrote:

"This song is pretty straightforward and something many of us have experienced: being broken up with someone you thought was your 'person' and realizing how much you still love them and wanting to try to work things out. I did that through this song to my 'person' and it struck the right chord (no pun intended) and we got back together."

Speaking on the album, Seth wrote the following:

We all have a ‘safe space’ — a place where we can go and escape from the world. The green couch in my art room in my house is such a space. It was there where most of the songs on this album were written, either on guitar or with lyrics—thus, the title, Songs From The Green Couch.

Rob Campanella, of Brian Jonestown Massacre — who engineered the album— introduced me to two guys in The Triptides: bassist Glenn Brigman and drummer Brendan Peleo-Lazar. The three of us (me on most guitars, pianos and mellotrons) became the core of the entire record. I sang all vocals and arranged the live strings. L.A. musicians, Kirk Hellie and Fernando Perdomo contributed their talents on some songs as well. But, as I said, the core was myself and the Triptides, which added a certain ‘toughness’ to my natural pop sensibilities.

The record was a two year process: I started writing and recording the record at the beginning of a serious new relationship I was having — it continued during a very painful breakup. Thus, the album oscillates between many hi’s and lo’s for me personally, which are reflected in the lyrics.

---------------------------

Darkroom/Interscope Records artist Billie Eilish has released her highly anticipated debut album, accompanied with a brand new music video for her latest single ‘bad guy,’ out today.

WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? Is out now on all platforms worldwide and features global smashes “bury a friend,” “you should see me in a crown,” when the party’s over,” and “wish you were gay,” plus 10 previously unheard tracks including Billie’s latest single “bad guy,” which comes with an official video, directed by MTV VMA-winner (Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Humble’) Dave Meyers.

Watch the official video for “bad guy” HERE.

Yesterday, Billie Eilish made her Jimmy Kimmel Live! debut and performed “bury a friend” in-front of a live audience. On Monday, April 1 she will be a talking guest performing live on The Ellen DeGeneres Show (check your local listings).

This weekend, in partnership with Spotify, and curated entirely by the 17-year-old artist, The Billie Eilish Experience boasts a fully immersive, highly visceral “enhanced album experience.” The labyrinth of rooms hosted at The Stalls at Skylight Row in Downtown Los Angeles will converge art, technology and the unexpected, creating a cerebral storytelling experience that is authentically Billie Eilish. Listen to the Billie Eilish Experience Playlist on Spotify HERE.

In other news, Billie Eilish shattered Apple Music’s record, amassing more than 800,000 Pre-Adds on the album. Listen to the album on Apple Music HERE.

WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? comprises of fourteen tracks that materialize as ghostly genre-less pop projections of life’s firsts for the multi-platinum songstress as she ruminates on her first brushes with loss and love amidst the monsters under her bed and the triumphs at her feet.

“Nobody knows what the fuck dreams are, dude,” she exclaims. “You can’t give me a good enough answer as to what dreams are. Nobody can. Dreams are a big thing in my life though. They’ve always really occupied me. It’s all in the music.” One daydream manifested to set the stage for such provocation. Within three years since her 2015 debut, Billie quietly, yet unapologetically infiltrated the forefront of pop. Along the way, she and her chief collaborator, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and big brother Finneas O’Connell crafted what would become WHEN WE FALL ASLEEP WHERE DO WE GO? Keeping the creativity in-house, literally, they retreated back to Billie’s childhood home. Once again, they worked in Finneas’ bedroom—two feet from Billie’s room—where the songs not only came to life, but also all of the dreams. “There were a lot of opportunities and things I said, ‘No to,” she grins. “We had to do this album our way. I realized how lucky I am to have my brother in this. If I didn’t have him, I would have to figure out what the hell I was doing without someone else there with me!

"I want people to listen,” she leaves off. “I want to be heard, and I want people to feel heard. Nothing on this album sounds the same, but it all adds up to a whole. Since I first started doing music, my life has changed a lot. One thing that hasn’t changed in my music is that I still just do me.

WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? is out everywhere now.

The Damned release new track taken from album out this Friday, April 13th

This coming Friday the 13th is shaping up to be a great one for fans of The Damned...


THE DAMNED RELEASE NEW TRACK 'PROCRASTINATION'
 
NEW ALBUM 'EVIL SPIRITS' OUT THIS FRIDAY APRIL 13TH
ON SEARCH AND DESTROY / SPINEFARM RECORDS
 
LISTEN TO 'PROCRASTINATION'
 
PRE-ORDER ALBUM HERE
 
PLAYING SELECT WEST COAST DATES IN JULY

In the week leading up to the hugely-anticipated release of Evil Spirits, the first new album in ten years from British punk rock icons The Damned, the band are giving the world another fresh taste of their new material today with the release of "Procrastination" for download/stream on Spotify. Written by keyboard player Monty Oxymoron within the burst of creative activity that led to the recording of ‘Evil Spirits’ with famed producer Tony Visconti in October of 2017 at Atomic Sound studios in Brooklyn, "Procrastination" is a pulsating, glam stomper that musically does anything but hesitate or stall, as its title might suggest.
 
“The song came together by accident really,” explains Monty. “I sent Captain the basic tune with some lyrics, but it didn’t have a chorus at that point; magically it all fitted with a totally separate instrumental piece that he had and it all slotted together perfectly!”
 
“Regarding the lyrics, I think everyone suffers from procrastination,” continues Monty. “We’re all capable of putting off the stuff we don’t want to do. I was in Glastonbury recently and got myself a T-shirt that sums it all up quite nicely; ‘procrastinators of the world unite…tomorrow!’
 
“Ahh yes, one of Monty’s, this one,” adds Captain Sensible. “A bit of self-analysis here: what could be the reason that this band’s last album was recorded back in 2008? It’s good to be able to laugh at yourself – well, at least I think he’s talking about himself there… Isn’t he? Or is it me? Blimey!”
 
Evil Spirits is released this Friday, April 13th via Search And Destroy / Sprinfearm Records and is available on digital download via Spotify and i-Tunes, on CD and 180g vinyl available to pre-order HERE
 
The band play select shows on the West Coast iin July following their headline slot at Burger Boogaloo. A US tour will be announced at a later date (details forthcoming).
