The post BOLD REYNOLD Aim For A Hat-Trick By Delivering New LP appeared first on DMME.net.

Frankie Rose has announced her new album, HILA, and unveiled its first single, “Cant Be Wrong.” The 10-track record arrives on September 18 via Born Losers Records worldwide outside the UK and Europe, with Night School Records handling the UK and European release. Self-produced by Rose, the album follows 2023’s Love As Projection and carries her gleaming synth-pop into a darker interior shaped by grief, altered perception, and the unstable boundary between presence and absence.

Rose describes HILA as a record about loss and what might persist beyond the range of ordinary perception—the place mourning repeatedly returns to, suspended somewhere between transcendence and doubt. If Love As Projection reached outward toward the world, its follow-up turns that same melodic instinct inward, bringing the dark cosmos into a more intimate space.

Recorded following extensive touring with The Jesus and Mary Chain and Swervedriver, HILA was made primarily in Rose’s home studio, with additional recording at Treuhand Brooklyn. The sessions feature drummer Justin Welch of Elastica and Lush, alongside guitarists Ian Campbell and Chris Rager, bassist Jake Vest, and saxophonists Jeff Tobias and Matthew Friedlander. Additional production comes from Brandt Gassman, with Trey Frye mixing and Josh Bonati mastering.

As the album’s opening transmission, “Cant Be Wrong” serves as a bridge from the brighter electronic pop of Rose’s previous record into HILA’s more goth-laced dreampop atmosphere. A thumping ’80s funk-pop rhythm supports crystalline guitar, vaporous synthesizers, and Rose’s layered voice, which hovers above the track with a cool, aching clarity. The chorus rises into one of her characteristic soaring melodies, but the wings that carry it forward cannot conceal the wound beneath it.

The song is a love letter to someone no longer in this realm—an act of accepting that person completely, exactly as they were, only after their absence has become permanent. Its emotional tension comes from the part of grief that understands the fact of death while continuing to reject its finality.

The accompanying black-and-white video gives that suspended grief a landscape. A woman in a sleeveless dark dress walks across an immense, bleached salt basin ringed by serrated mountains. She is rarely alone for long: translucent doubles follow behind her, drift beside her, and disappear into the glare, turning a solitary figure into a procession of unfinished memories.

The landscape repeatedly folds over itself through multiple exposures, split screens, hard black bars, and the scratches of damaged film. Close-ups of Frankie Rose wearing oversized sunglasses are transformed into stark, hand-drawn portraits, repeated in triptychs and grids before being inverted into ghostly negatives. Grainy footage of two horses briefly breaks through the salt-flat imagery, adding another fragment of motion that feels recovered from some private archive.

As the edit becomes increasingly unstable, faces multiply, mountains slide out of alignment, and bodies appear several times within the same moment. The clip treats grief like a strip of film caught in a malfunctioning projector: replayed, duplicated, partially erased, and returned to the screen before it can fully disappear.

Watch the video for “Cant Be Wrong” below:

HILA is set for release on September 18 through Born Losers Records and Night School Records. You can pre-order the album here. It will be available on clear vinyl with a green center, black vinyl, CD, and digital formats. The limited clear-and-green edition can be ordered here.

The record industry titan guided Houston from a young star to worldwide phenomenon. But their story together was not without controversy.

Deep Purple have released another new single from their upcoming album Splat! The supercharged Guilt Trippin’ envisages a conversation between God and Charles Darwin, the pair sharing a pint or two as they reflect on how things on Earth have not exactly worked out as intended.

“The song starts, and I’m in the studio,” says Gillan. “I don’t have any words for it yet. So I just start screaming. It was the pure joy of yelling it.

“I vowed when I was 40 that I’d stop screaming by the time I was 60. Now I’m looking back and thinking, ‘Whatever happened to that?’ So we’ll give it a go.”

Guilt Trippin’ follows the release of first single Arrogant Boy in May, and Diablo earlier this month, and is accompanied by a video in which a fly and a sycamore-seed spaceship embark on a wild ride through an increasingly surreal landscape.

Splat!, which is produced by regular collaborator Bob Ezrin, will be released on July 3 and is available to pre-order now.

Deep Purple’s 2026 world tour is currently on the road in Europe, with North American shows scheduled for August and September. Further European dates follow, climaxing in a run of UK shows in November. Full dates below.

Ian Gillan has also just announced a series of spoken word dates. The Talking Gib’rish UK tour will commence on April 28 next year at the Bournemouth Pavilion, and come to an end on May 29 at London’s Cadogan Hall.

Deep Purple are on the cover of the new issue of Classic Rock, which is out now. Inside, they talk about the making of Splat!

Also available is the Deep Purple X Classic Rock bundle edition, which includes the new issue, a numbered print and a set of postcards, and Splat! on double yellow vinyl.

Editors have announced their eighth studio album, Surface, Echo & Sound, and shared its latest single, “The Rush.” The 11-track record arrives on October 30, 2026, via Play It Again Sam, marking the band’s first full-length since 2022’s EBM, made with Benjamin John Power, aka Blanck Mass. Following April’s “Call It In,” the new single arrives with an official video filmed in Tokyo and directed by Henry Ehara.

Where EBM drove Editors further into electronic weight and industrial motion, Surface, Echo & Sound began with the band stripping the process back. After three albums largely shaped in the studio, they regrouped in the summer of 2025 and returned to the practice-room method of their earliest days in Stafford: facing one another, playing the songs together, trying different arrangements, and allowing the material to change in real time.

Frontman Tom Smith brought a collection of acoustic-based sketches to the sessions, following the pared-down approach of his solo album There Is Nothing In The Dark That Isn’t There In The Light. The band developed them on an unassuming industrial estate in Gloucestershire, not far from Smith’s home.

“It was a very productive summer,” Smith says. “The sun was out for the most part, we were in greenest Gloucestershire, not far from where I live, on this innocuous little industrial estate—it was pretty much the opposite of being in Berghain!”

“The Rush” is imagined as a bar-room conversation between two people drinking, talking about life, and reckoning with its ascents and collapses. At its centre is the temporary shelter found in another person’s company—a recurring theme for Smith, whether that comfort comes from friends, lovers, or family.

Smith plays mandolin on the track, one of the textures giving Surface, Echo & Sound its warmer, more organic core. Guitarist Justin Lockey, who recorded and produced the album, says the instrument is not being employed as a folk flourish.

“It’s not used in a folky kind of way, but it brings a warm element that can spike through anything in the mix,” Lockey explains. “A lot of the rhythms come from the mandolin and the acoustic as much as they do from the drums.”

On “The Rush,” Editors reconnect with the melodic post-punk of The Back Room and An End Has a Start, threading a trace of Johnny Marr-like jangle through the song’s driving groove. The mandolin contributes to that bright, chiming texture, locking with the acoustic guitar and drums beneath Smith’s resonant baritone. When the chorus arrives, it opens into the kind of soaring, cinematic release that defined those first two albums.

Ehara’s video puts that weight directly into the body. A red-haired woman and a man in a bald-headed prosthetic mask travel through Tokyo with a red suitcase between them, veering between dance, argument, support, and collapse. They spill across Shibuya’s famous scramble crossing, ricochet through a green-lit public bathroom, squeeze into lifts and taxis, make a call from a payphone, lie side by side on a bed, and eventually wander into a darkened cinema. There, after watching a fragment of black-and-white Japanese film, they climb in front of the screen and dance inside the projector’s white circle.

Shot with soft grain and handheld instability, the film turns neon streets, tunnel lights, traffic, and closing doors into a succession of thresholds. The suitcase begins to resemble portable emotional baggage, while the performers’ choreography makes intimacy look both romantic and rebellious. By returning to the crossing near the end, the video closes its loop: the city keeps surging forward, and the two figures keep trying to move through it together.

Watch the video for “The Rush” below:

Surface, Echo & Sound will be available on CD, cassette, black vinyl, transparent green vinyl, and an official-store-exclusive blue pearl vinyl, alongside digital editions and merchandise bundles. Editors are also scheduled to play festival dates throughout the summer of 2026 before undertaking a European, UK, and Ireland headline tour in early 2027.
