Singles Going Steady - The best singles of the month - From Deafheaven to Sparks, from Royksopp to Craig Finn: the most interesting new releases

Tunde Adebimpe – "Drop"

After years of waiting, Tunde Adebimpe – voice and creative mind behind TV On The Radio – is ready to make his solo debut with "Three Black Boltz", out April 18th on Sub Pop. A long-nurtured project, whose title recalls Black Bolt, the ruler of Marvel's Inhumans, capable of destroying entire cities with a single sound. An idea of latent, cathartic power that Adebimpe himself has explained as follows: "The sparks of inspiration, motivation and hope that emerge in the heart of pain, depression and despair. Like electrons building up in storm clouds until they generate a bolt of lightning, illuminating the way out for an instant… Plus, it sounds like a great name for a metal band, and I think a lot of people would see me in a metal band." Alongside his musical career, the New York artist has also made a name for himself on screen, appearing in the blockbuster Twisters and in the series "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew". After "Magnetic", the first single unveiled months ago, comes now Drop, another taste of an album that promises to explore new sonic directions.

Deafheaven – "Magnolia"

Deafheaven are back with "Lonely People With Power", their new album out March 28th, four years on from their previous "Infinite Granite". The record, which marks the metal/shoegaze band's debut on Roadrunner Records, promises to push the group's sonic boundaries even further, aided by the presence of high-profile guests such as Paul Banks of Interpol and Jae Matthews of Boy Harsher. As a first taste of the new work, the Californian band has shared "Magnolia", a track that blends ethereal atmospheres with powerful riffs, confirming their unmistakable ability to fuse delicacy and aggression. A long-awaited return that looks set to be unmissable for fans of the boldest, most experimental sounds. Listen to the new track below:
