Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy will perform a free show in New York @ Damrosch Park Bandshell on July 26. The show is part of the 2019 Lincoln Center Out Of Doors series. Ggates open at 6:3o p.m., one hour prior to the 7:30 p.m. start time. Cellist and vocalist Helen Gillet is the support act.
Brighton based electro dream pop trio Elder Island have added a bunch of shows to their tour itinerary, promoting their The Omnitone Collection album: "They alternate between accessible pop and gnarly soundscapes, with shifting rhythms and jagged vocalizing. They create smooth yet rough songs with plenty of surprises. Not danceable per se, but that won't stop people from trying. Recommended if you like Portishead and Dead Can Dance".
Eyes Shut, the new single from Dutch indie rockers Waltzburg, is a smoldering "fuck you" to the girl who has decided that she doesn't want to share the singer's bed anymore. It's a complex, post-psychedelic song that unfolds like a chrysalis. Edgy to make it hurt, soft to cure the pain, all tied together in a mishmash of orchestrated and slightly distorted tapestry of sounds.
The single is a taste from the new Cut The Wire album, due for release via Snowstar Records later this year.
Unfortunately or fortunately, in order to become acquainted with the idiom of country or rock music, it is necessary to occasionally play in a bar. Bars are a rehearsal place.

Dreamy shoegazers Seablite have just released their new single There Were Only Shadows, a blend of jangling pop and dark new wave, with the vocals of lead singer Lauren Matsui floating on top. The video was directed by Jenn Heard. It is a track from their forthcoming Grass Stains and Novocaine album, out on June 7th via Emotional Response Records (vinyl, CD, digital).
