Goldfrapp mark 20 years of their era-defining album ‘Supernature’ with the release of a 20th Anniversary deluxe edition, out now. To celebrate, Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory unveil a brand-new remix of “You Never Know”, their first fresh Goldfrapp release in years, reconnecting with the acid-tinged glamour and hypnotic pulse that made the album such a cultural landmark.

The deluxe edition expands the world of the album with B-sides, classic and new remixes, unreleased live recordings, and a 5.1 surround mix, presented across deluxe CD and vinyl formats.

NYC Rock Upstarts SKORTS Carry Weight With “Burden”

0

New York City rock band SKORTS announce their debut album ‘Incompletement’, out now, and set the tone with the release of the opening track “Burden” alongside an official video. Built from the raw electricity of their live shows and sharpened into something bold and stadium-ready, the song pairs hypnotic vocal peaks with a cathartic core, turning shared weight into something communal and grounding.

Originally one of the band’s earliest demos, “Burden” found new life in the studio with producer Teddy O’Mara, where its groove and structure fully locked in. Directed by Nick Charnas, the black-and-white video strips things back, focusing on the power of the human voice and body in motion, offering a striking counterpoint to past visuals and placing the emotional force of SKORTS front and center as they step into this new chapter.

Sparkle Carcass lean into straight-ahead honesty on their new single “Rainy Day Head”, a barroom-ready honky tonk rocker built on damp acoustics, a Skynyrd-meets-Stones riff, and a shuffle that begs to be played loud on a jukebox. Steel guitar and sing-along hooks give the song a nostalgic pull, as songwriter Cody Palmer reflects on early Chicago days filled with day jobs, wedding gigs, rainy afternoons, and ceiling-staring songwriting sessions. With Palmer joined in the band by his wife and fellow artist Reilly Downes, “Rainy Day Head” lands with warmth, grit, and the kind of lived-in charm that sticks around long after the last chorus fades.
