Reveries for the laziest day of the week

17 August 2025

Louisville‘s veteran rockers MY MORNING JACKET will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their fourth full-length, called Z on October 4th. The day before, they will release a deluxe anniversary.


Artwork Z

It’ll contains previously unreleased material, demos, and rarities like
the Elizabethtown soundtrack song Where To Begin the band just shared.
A lullaby that breathes melancholia at its most gripping, with warm pedal steel play.

Jim James (vocalist/guitarist): “October 4 is the 20th anniversary of our album Z. It’s pretty wild to think about that. To celebrate two decades of it being out in the ether, we’re excited to be turning five of our shows into special Z anniversary shows, where we’ll play that album,
and some other songs, don’t worry – front to back.”

WOLF ALICE Drop Introspective Power Ballad ‘THE SOFA’ From Their New Upcoming Album

New album artwork

London‘s guitar pop stars WOLF ALICE revealed details of their new,
4th longplayer 2 months ago. It’s named The Clearing and will show
up on August 29th.

Following the peppy lead single Boom Baby Boom
we get a second appetizer with the introspective power
ballad THE SOFA.

Ellie Rowsell (frontwoman) “It’s about not trying so hard to figure everything out,
reflecting on getting older and trying not to agonize over things that have or haven’t
happened in your life. It’s also about trying to get to grips with the polarizing aspects
of one’s life when you’re in a band.

You’ve just played a huge tour and you come home, and you have your dinner on the sofa.
For me, it’s summed up in how I treat TV. I used to never watch the same thing twice because
I thought I’ve got so much to discover! And now I’m like, It’s OK if I just want to rewatch Peep Show for the 13th time.”

Have a seat, Ellie.

But great news for the fans (including myself). Number 6,

1 June 2025

AL JARDINE, the now 82-year-old, former beach boy co-vocalist/co-founder
has no plans to retire. He just released a 4-track EP titled Islands In The Sun .

It’s his first new music since his 2010 LP, named
A Postcard From California. Actually his only
solo album.

It features two tunes written by Jardine himself, and two reworked
versions of The Coasters’ Leiber/Stoller classics ‘Smokey Joe’s Café’ and
‘Crumple Car’.

One of the two Jardine written songs, a romantic tearjerker named MY PLANE LEAVES TOMORROW (AU REVOIR) features vocals by living legend Neil Young and a short trumpet moment by Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea. Their parts were already recorded during the ‘Posctard From California’ sessions, but Jardine only finished the song recently.

Have a listen. It’s a beauty.

The whole EP is a nostalgic beauty.
