This week has been as much about these teases as the album announces, with Grimes giving us a double dose. There’s also a new single from Body/Head, the latest work from Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon.
Kim Gordon‘s duo with Bill Nace, Body/Head, have announced they will be releasing a new album titled The Switch out on July 13. They have also released the first single from the album, You Don’t Need which you can listen to below. This is their first album since their 2013 debut Coming Apart. They also released a live album titled No Waves.
Grimes has also teased two tracks from her new album. One she described as, “the cheesy love song i was talking about that i don’t like but everyone else likes” and the other as an “ethereal chav jam that’s like … a cyberpunk interpretation of the bajirao mastani movie.” Grimes’ last full-length, Art Angels, came out in 2015. Grimes’ iTunes indicates the songs teased are probably adore u (beautiful game) and 4 æm both noted on the prospective album track list she shared last month. Listen to the teases below.
