Growing up in a mining town myself, it's hard not to think about who or what would have remained for me if the jobs all suddenly dried up, and where my friends and I would have ended up. Candu was the local high school and only open for a couple of years while the town was booming it was abandoned like everything else after the mines abruptly closed in the early 80s leaving most families stranded without work, and now sits completely vandalized. We went to visit and it was the first time I was ever on a plane - as a young kid then, I'm not sure if the pictures in my mind now are real or just something from a dream. "My mom's uncle worked up in Uranium City, Saskatchewan in the late 70s/early 80s, when it was a small but very active mining settlement. "'CANDU' is a rustic, anthemic reply to a once-booming Northern settlement that was abruptly forgotten and the band's lament on the common connections that emerge when you’ve unknowingly tied your hopes to a sinking ship," Nils Edenloff says.

THE RURAL ALBERTA ADVANTAGE - "CANDU" & "AB BRIDGE"Ĭanadian indie rock trio The Rural Alberta Advantage are back with a pair of new songs, their first since their 2017 album The Wild, and the first of a planned series of singles and EPs that they hope to release throughout the year. The effect, though subtle, added a more compelling vibe to the whole song."
Because the song has these sharply rhythmic moments, Jake suggested I sing the lyrics really lazily as a contrast. The lyrics deal with the feeling of uncertainty in yourself when you’re caught up in someone else’s world and you have to disentangle fantasy and cold reality. The morning of the day I was to sing all my vocals in the studio, I was sitting outside a cafe hyped on caffeine and sweatily typing new words into my notes app. The lyrics took me the longest of any song to complete. The song came to life that’s the most exciting part of collaborating as a band. So I fleshed out all the parts, and when I brought it to the whole band, all these unexpected rhythms and melodies popped out of the song. When I listen back it’s like listening to someone else’s music and I can hear the song more clearly. "Sometimes I’ll play little guitar parts and melodies into my phone and then not think anything of them until many months later. Their last album, Paper Gods, was released in 2015 and debuted at number 10 on the Billboard 200 chart.Empath's new album Visitor is due out Friday via Fat Possum, and ahead of its release they've shared one more new single, "Elvis Comeback Special."

Known for their unique disco-punk and J-pop sound, CHAI add a fresh spin to DURAN DURAN's usual pop-rock tracks.
Simon Le Bon describes CHAI as a "post-modern, all-girl Japanese punk band, whose energy and pure sense of fun might actually blow your ears off!" To our joy, they agreed, and the result most certainly brought an incredible new energy to the song." 'Give It All Up' is the kind of pulsating electro-disco fantasia Duran Duran have always been destined to record, anchored by Nick Rhodes keyboard surges and sparkling guest vocals from pop star.
"We all agreed that it would sound really great with Japanese female voices on it, and that’s when Simon had the inspired idea to ask CHAI if they would possibly collaborate with us. It reminded me of one of those retro Japanese video games, which I always found quite uplifting," explains keyboardist Nick Rhodes. "It was such an unusual piece we weren’t quite sure if it would fit in at first. is out now!
