New Music Thursday

Stars‘ Torquil Campbell and Young Galaxy‘s Stephen Ramsay have a new single to release as TFD (TOTAL FUCKING DARKNESS). “Him” is a burbling synth laden house track, further developing the duo’s sonic world.

“How do I hide that I still love you? Headed blind into the light and you’re coming to, to live in the clouds with the cherubim, you can be an angel and I’ll be Him,” intones Campbell.

Dan Pallotta is sharing American Pictures, his new album following in the footsteps of folk and singer-songwriter greats to reflect on the human condition. Pallotta brings empathy and wisdom to his songwriting, gained over several decades spent exploring music, philanthropy, and family life.

Pallotta reflects on the joys and the sorrows that mark each of our lives with “The Mailman,” taken from American Pictures, a song whose inspiration was sparked by listening to John Prine’s recollections of working as a mail carrier.

This tender and reflective acoustic track delves into the situations the character at the centre of the song navigates through in his day-to-day, facing the role of being the messenger of both incredible and destabilizing news.

Matt Mahurin‘s black and white music video shot in California underscores the humanity of this character, creating an entire world of emotion which parallels the song itself.
