Piu is Vancouver Island-based Priyanka Chakrabarti, whose music presents a thoughtful blend of synths, beats, and field recordings inspired by Indian raga and folk music. She’s been promoting her forthcoming album Milao with advance singles including the serenely droning title track and the woozy, beat-driven “Jaare,” which reminds me of solo Thom Yorke. Today’s new single “Home” builds steadily into a bleary, syncopated electronic epic.

Earlier this year, our column The Alternative Number ones covered the great 1996 Eels song “Novocaine For The Soul.” At least in the US, that was the only big hit that Eels ever made. But band mastermind Mark Oliver Everett, aka E, has kept the project going ever since then, amassing a huge discography of lush, downcast, personal pop music. Everett is the subject of a new Judd Apatow-produced documentary, and now he’s got another new album on the way, too.

It was evident from Lily Seabird’s March song “Demon In Me” that something special was coming from the Burlington singer-songwriter. Considering she hails from the same scene that nurtured great acts like Greg Freeman and Robber Robber, expectations are high. She exceeds them on today’s new single “Election Day,” which comes with the news of her new album Lightspheres On Their Way.

John Vanderslice has a long and storied career in the realm of indie rock, but on recent releases like d E A T h ~ b U g and CRYSTALS 3.0 he’s been branching out into experimental electronic music. Google Earth, his band with James Riotto, blurs together those two pastimes. But on new album Focus, he’s back in indie singer-songwriter mode. As he puts it on Instagram today, “I’m actually singing here, this is my first song-forward record in a looooooooong time!!!!”

From the mind of Curran Reynolds and the efforts of several collaborators comes Body Stuff, a NYC-based hard rock project spanning several regions of sonic territory. When I listen to the new song, “Sacrifice,” a plethora of reminders come to me, from the proto- and early punk of the CBGBs-era, 80s post-punk and New Wave, and even some post-hardcore. It’s a very New York City sound, one that Reynolds seeks to channel into his second full-length album, Body Stuff 5, due out on October 16.
According to Reynolds, the song is “about crossing the line, the point of no return, the beauty of sacrificing for something you love.” He goes on to describe the music video itself:
“I made this music video one morning after watching Jean Cocteau’s film, Blood of a Poet. I loved the scene in that film where the artist is peeping in keyholes in the hotel and I woke up wanting to replicate that. As fate would have it, my building here in Brooklyn was built in the 1850s and one of the doors in my apartment has the most perfect, iconic keyhole.”
Although this kind of noise isn’t exactly standard-fare for many readers, it would be worth looking through that keyhole to add to — and enhance — your musical world. The song is genuinely cool and engaging, and makes me want to check out the rest of Body Stuff. It’s the kind of thing you want to convince the DJ to put on at an 80s night party! Beyond any sort of nostalgia, though, it does present a more promising and daring vision for hard rock than most of what’s left out there. (Also, fun fact, Reynolds was the drummer on Today is the Day‘s excellent 2011 album, Pain Is a Warning.)
You can keep up with the project on Instagram or Bandcamp.
