The best singles of the week

The WAEVE – “City Lights”

A surprise return for The WAEVE. The duo made up of Graham Coxon (Blur) and Rose Elinor Dougall has released a new track, titled "City Lights", out via Transgressive Records. It's the first single from their upcoming second album, following the acclaimed self-titled debut The WAEVE, which was also very well received here at OndaRock.

Caroline Polachek – “Starburned And Unkissed”

Caroline Polachek has released a new track, "Starburned And Unkissed". It's her contribution to the soundtrack of Jane Schoenbrun's film "I Saw The TV Glow", out May 16 on A24 Music.

The singer-songwriter behind "Desire, I Want To Turn Into You" produced the new song together with A. G. Cook. Listen to it below.

Jon Hopkins – "Evocation"

Jon Hopkins has announced his new album "Ritual", out August 30 via Domino. The British artist returns three years after his last record "Music For Psychedelic Therapy". Hopkins himself explained in a recent interview: "I have no idea what I'm doing when I'm composing. I don't know where it comes from, and I don't know where it's going, nor does that seem to matter. I just know when it's finished. So all I can do is follow my instinct all the way through, then try to retrospectively analyse what might have happened and work out what its purpose is. What's clear is that this composition has the structure of a ritual. I know what that ritual is for, for me, but for you it will be something different. It feels important not to be prescriptive about what this ritual actually is".

Deep Purple – "Portable Door"

Deep Purple have released the first single from their new album "=1", out July 19 on earMUSIC. The track, titled "Portable Door", is also the first the veteran English band have made since Simon McBride replaced guitarist Steve Morse, who left for personal reasons. The release of the new Deep Purple album will be preceded by two live dates in Italy: July 10 at the Cavea Auditorium Parco della Musica for Rock In Roma, and July 11 at Marostica Summer Festival.

Motorpsycho – "Psycholab"

Motorpsycho have released the first single from their new album, the thirty-second of their career: the track is titled "Psycholab", described in the official press release as a celebratory song in the face of the hardships of 2024, clearly inspired by Velvet Underground and 60s rock, but with a folksy atmosphere and a catchy pop melody.
