The best singles of the week

Xeno & Oaklander – “Magic Of The Manifold”

To mark the start of their European tour, which kicked off in Paris on May 14, Xeno & Oaklander released their new single "Magic Of The Manifold" on the Dais label. It's the first track the synth-pop duo has put out since their 2021 album "Vi/deo": relentless dance-pop straight out of an underground night-club. On "Magic Of The Manifold" - the band writes in a statement - "we crafted a driving drum machine paired with romantic vocals and analog synth harmonies. We imagine the enchantment of a fictitious cave of Mercury where fumes and vapors alter the mind and spark the imagination."

Peter Murphy - "Hurt" (Feat. Trent Reznor)

Peter Murphy launches his new record label Silver Shade Records. First two releases: "Peter Live - Vol One - Covers" and "Peter Live - Vol Two - The Blender Theater NYC 2008", both out on June 21 via the Cadiz Music merch store. "Volume One Covers", recorded in 2006, features Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails on piano alongside the former Bauhaus frontman.

Trentemøller - "A Different Light"

Trentemøller will release "Dreamweaver" on September 13th, two years after his last album "Memoria", his new album once again produced by his own My Room label, preceded in the past few hours by the single "A Different Light", a delicate dream folk track built on guitar arpeggios, drones and modular synth.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse – "Everybody's Alone"

Neil Young adds a new chapter to his lengthy discography. On June 28th, via Reprise Records, "Early Daze" will be released, an album featuring previously unreleased recordings made in 1969 with Crazy Horse members Ralph Molina and Billy Talbot (both still in the band), guitarist Danny Whitten (who died in 1972), and legendary producer Jack Nitzsche (the band's pianist for about a year and author of some of the songs included on the LP). Below you can listen to one of the tracks featured on "Early Daze", "Everybody's Alone":

The The – “Cognitive Dissident”

A new album is on the way from The The. It's the first studio album of new songs in a quarter century for the storied band led by Matt Johnson. It will be titled "Ensoulment" and will be released on September 6th via Cineola / earMUSIC. The album's themes -- a press release states -- will range from love to sex, from war to politics, from life to death, attempting to explain what it means to be human in the 21st century. "Cognitive Dissident" is the first single taken from "Ensoulment". Written by Matt Johnson and Barrie Cadogan, it will also be available in a limited 7" edition with an unreleased B-side on June 7th. Stream it below:
