Julia Louise has premiered the second track from her upcoming Digital EP "Insatiable", (available today) via New Noise Magazine. A soft pulse. A daunting thought. A wasted conscious. A powerful voice. All of these are featured on Julia Louise’s new song, “Haze.” The song details out the coming to terms of shifting the balance of one’s life. Louise’s ambitious delivery floats over a slow burner; featuring soft plucked guitar notes ringing out against the distress signal of one’s body as it collapses towards abandonment, “a pill that I call baby, just one sedative to keep me hazy,” Louise sings. At this moment, the effects of the drugs kick in while the drum slowly build into a soothing, trance-like beat. For such a quiet song, Louise exits with as much confidence as was exalted from the moment the scales tipped. Happiness comes from within, but if not, there’s just one thing to keep the balance permanently lost. Louise comments on the song: “‘Hazy’ is the oldest song that I’ve ever continuously played. I wrote it in high school. I had serious anxiety issues and in hopes of combating them, I began experimenting with substances. It ultimately led to even more confusion. I wrote the first verse of hazy during the worst of my self medicating, and the second after I gave it up and realized that I didn’t need to rely on those things to find happiness.” "Insatiable" is released today via No Sleep.

Man Is Not A Bird, an innovative Paris-based quartet, are preparing to make landfall in the U.S. with their first international release, "Life & Levity". The four track collection includes EP title track which Nothing But Hope & Passon claims, "post-rock lovers can expect epic and distinctive sounds that team up with hypnotic shoegaze elements." Expect five minutes of cinematic beauty that doesn’t need to hide from the genre’s big players like Explosions In The Sky. The much-anticipated EP will officially be available via Splendid (in partnership with Believe Digital) on June 3, 2016. Preorder is available now. Listen to title track HERE Last summer, the fearless rockers undertook a 10-show tour of the United Kingdom, culminating with a triumphant performance in London that impressed a variety of industry insiders drawn to the band’s obvious international potential. From there, the band went straight back into the studio to write and record the tracks that have become "Life & Levity". Previously instrumental, these new songs now find the band exploring complex vocal arrangements, while retaining their distinctive post-punk sound. The band continues to tour internationally, recently road-testing "Life & Levity" with two trips around Germany and eastern Europe, as well as a 5 day run in Spain just last week. Last year also saw the release of Man Is Not a Bird’s critically acclaimed debut mini-album, "Survived The Great Flood". The album was prominently featured on MTV Pulse Europe and French channel D17, and has over 500,000 streams on Spotify France. After a sold-out Parisian launch party for the album, the band was asked by British Rock Band, Ride, to open for them on certain dates during the European leg of their mega-reunion World Tour. The tour concluded with Man Is Not A Bird's first visit to the mythical Paris Olympia Music hall, playing in front of a capacity audience. Look out for remixes from French Touch supremo, Alex Gopher, Italian chaos monger SBCR from the Bloody Beetroots, Toog & Roman Kouder. Ahead of the release of Hannah Lou Clark's new EP "Its Your Love", due for release 22nd April on her own label Quatre Femmes Records via PIAS, Hannah has unveiled the video for the EP's title track. Its Your Love has been directed by Jodie Canwell (Spring King, EERA) who said this of the video. "I wanted to shoot a video that was as exhausting and energetic as the continuous beat in the song" Extensive touring around the release of debut EP Silent Type, gave a fresh perspective on certain things in Hannah's life. Its Your Love was written over this touring period and sees Hannah experiment further sonically with interesting sounds and textures and vintage drum machines. Winning a Rhythm Ace on Ebay, became the musical catalyst for the EP as well as the time previously spent collaborating with artists such as Rob Ellis (Torres, Anna Calvi, PJ Harvey) and Deb Goodge (My Bloody Valentine) .The completion of this EP marked the end of a life chapter, and the beginning of a new one. Hannah said of the EP: "Sometimes in life it feels as though people are holding a gun to your head, and you have to suck it up and get on with it. I wanted the music to replicate that repetitive feeling of frustration. This whole EP is really about that realisation, in three chapters." Its Your Love has been produced by Hannah and mixed by Tarek Musa of Spring King and offers an artist in full command of her voice and her instrument, a woman who knows exactly what she wants to offer listeners and who isn’t afraid to cover sunlight with clouds. The title track sees the protagonist trapped inside a small wooden drum machine, and driven mad by the Bossa nova. Hannah has announced her first UK headline tour, the news follows stunning headline shows at St. Pancras Church and Southbank Centre’s Purcell Room and support tours with the likes of Ezra Furman, Thurston Moore and Gaz Coombes including an incredible Roundhouse 'In The Round' show.
