Indie-Folk Songwriter Shakey Graves Announces ‘Fondness, Etc.’ Album

Austin indie-folk songwriter Shakey Graves will release his fifth studio album ‘Fondness, Etc.’ on May 15 via Secret Identity and Dualtone Records. The new record finds Graves returning to a stripped-down, home-recorded approach shaped by family life and a renewed focus on writing music for himself. Alongside the announcement, he shared the single “Time Flies,” a moving cover of a song by Frankie Sunswept featuring a lush string quartet arranged by David J. Pierce and a soaring guitar solo from Zeke Jarmon.

Graves recorded the album in his home studio over a focused one-month stretch using a pair of Tascam tape machines. The lo-fi sessions encouraged spontaneity and captured moments that would normally be polished away. “Catching the foundation of a song on tape means that you have to commit to a sound and accept what might initially be seen as mistakes,” Graves said. “Often these little strange moments, like a bird screaming in the background or a train passing by my house, sneak into the track and become textures themselves.”

The nine-song album reflects on growth, family, and the shifting nature of identity over time. “I only had a little time, so I made a little album,” Graves said. “But it ended up being a huge lesson for me. I’ll always remember this strange time in my life, and now, since I trapped it in tape, you’ll be able to hear that memory yourself.” Emerging from Austin’s DIY scene as a one-man band with a guitar and suitcase kick drum, Graves continues that spirit here with an intimate, folk-rooted record shaped by imperfection and lived experience.

Jake Hoot Teams With Jamie Floyd For “The Blade” Duet

Country singer Jake Hoot joins Nashville songwriter and vocalist Jamie Floyd for a new duet version of “The Blade,” arriving April 3. The collaboration pairs the Season 17 winner of The Voice with the three-time GRAMMY-nominated songwriter, bringing fresh life to a song that already carries deep roots in modern country music.

The idea for the recording began during a 2024 performance in Nashville when Hoot joined Floyd onstage for an impromptu rendition of the song. The crowd response was immediate and powerful, revealing a natural chemistry between the two singers that led to the studio version now set for release.

Produced by Canadian songwriter and producer Jimmy Thow, the new recording blends soaring harmonies with modern production while honoring the song’s legacy. Thow handled guitars, bass, and programming on the track, while renowned steel guitarist Travis Toy contributed pedal steel. The session was recorded at Hertz So Good Studios in Nashville.

“The Blade” has a significant history within country music. Written by Marc Beeson, Allen Shamblin, and Jamie Floyd, the song was originally recorded by Ashley Monroe and Miranda Lambert as the title track of Monroe’s 2015 album. The recording earned a GRAMMY nomination and was later named one of The New York Times’ Top 10 Songs of the Year across all genres. Country icon Ronnie Dunn later recorded his own version for his album ‘100 Proof Neon.’

The new duet arrives as Hoot prepares to appear on The Voice: Battle of Champions, bringing him back to the NBC spotlight. Known for his rich baritone and emotional delivery, Hoot has performed on major stages including the Grand Ole Opry and the Ryman Auditorium while continuing to build a national following through live performances and songwriting.

Dark Pop Band Swaza6 Debut “Wake Up Ina Cemetery” Video

Los Angeles dark pop band Swaza6 step into the spotlight with the release of their debut music video and single “Wake Up Ina Cemetery.” Emerging from the city’s underground Gothic and warehouse scene, the group introduces listeners to their self-described Dracwave sound, a hybrid of darkwave textures, post-punk grit, trap rhythms and theatrical performance energy.

The track arrives with a cinematic video that mirrors the band’s intense live presence. Swaza6 built their reputation through ritualistic performances filled with dramatic visuals and immersive stagecraft, turning shows into experiences that blur the line between concert and performance art. The new single channels that same energy into a brooding, high-impact dark pop anthem.

“Waking up in a cemetery isn’t about death – it’s about rising the fuck up from everything that tried to bury you,” said FHEDESH, the band’s producer, writer and co-vocalist. “This track and video are pure Dracwave: seductive, dangerous, and completely non-state-controlled. We’re summoning the night and daring everyone to join us.”

Lead vocalist Sin Savio said the visuals capture the group’s unapologetic creative style. “The visuals are going to hit like a stake to the heart,” Savio said. “If you’ve seen us live, you know we don’t do safe – we do ritual.”

Swaza6 formed during the pandemic inside Los Angeles’ underground music community, quickly building a following through theatrical performances and blood-soaked aesthetics. FHEDESH also founded and curates DRAC’HAUS, a Gothic club night that has become a gathering point for the city’s alternative and industrial scenes.

Metallica will bring its “Life Burns Faster” live production to Sphere Las Vegas in fall 2026, launching a new residency at the state-of-the-art venue. The run begins Oct. 1 and features the band’s signature No Repeat Weekend format, with each performance drawing from a different mix of songs across Metallica’s catalog.

Demand for tickets surged immediately following the announcement, prompting the band to extend the residency with additional performances stretching into early 2027. The expanded schedule adds multiple Thursday and Saturday shows, giving fans more opportunities to experience the band inside Sphere’s immersive environment.

Drummer Lars Ulrich said the band had been thinking about the venue since its opening. “About 12 seconds into the opening night of Sphere with U2 back in ’23, I thought, ‘We have to do this, it’s completely uncharted territory!’” Ulrich said. “This residency gives us another chance to reinvent how we interact with our fans in a live setting.”

Sphere’s advanced visual and audio systems will shape the show’s design. The venue features a massive wraparound LED display and immersive audio system that surrounds the audience, creating a fully integrated concert experience. Metallica’s production team plans to use the venue’s technology to present songs from throughout the band’s career in new ways.

Finger Lakes Old-Time Banjo Player Benny Bleu Announces ‘When I Am A Fossil’ Album

Finger Lakes old-time banjo player Benny Bleu will self-release his new album ‘When I Am a Fossil’ on June 5, 2026. The project will be officially announced March 25 alongside the title track and an accompanying music video. Rooted in old-time tradition while branching into jazz textures and global rhythms, the record reflects Bleu’s background as a geologist and explores humanity’s relationship with the natural world and with one another.

The album has been ten years in the making and centers on the idea of geological time. Its songs consider how future scientists might interpret the Anthropocene through the fossil record of human activity. “How might a scientist from the deep future know we were here?” Bleu asks in the notes for the title track, reflecting on the evidence humanity will leave behind.

‘When I Am a Fossil’ was recorded live to tape over four days in May 2025 at 145 Studio in Millheim, Pennsylvania. Bleu co-produced the sessions with multi-instrumentalist Gus Tritsch, whose fiddle, guitar and mandolin shape the album’s sonic palette. Drummer Huck Tritsch and bassist Eric Heveron-Smith provide the rhythmic backbone while Katie Martucci of The Ladles contributes backing vocals.

The ten-song set blends original compositions, traditional material, and carefully chosen covers. Highlights include “Fairy Shrimp,” “March of the Mollusk,” and “Abbey Lovely,” alongside interpretations of Josef Zawinul’s “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy,” Ola Belle Reed’s “I’ve Endured,” and the traditional “Penny’s Farm.” “All I Want to Be” will also appear on a forthcoming American Roots compilation from Putumayo.

Mixing was handled by GRAMMY-nominated engineer Joseph “joebass” DeJarnette at Studio 808A in Brooklyn, with mastering by Tom Nunes at Atomic Disc in Salem, Oregon. The album artwork was created by Sarah Gorry. A sequence of singles leads up to the release, beginning March 25 with the title track and music video, followed by “I’ve Endured” on April 15 and “Serenity Song” with a lyric video on May 13.
