BONNIESONGS Loses Her Head In Monstrous Music Video ‘Frank’

Fresh from Australian support slots with Joan As Police Woman, Bonniesongs, aka Bonnie Stewart, is pleased to reveal a ghoulish new video for her latest single ‘Frank’—an ode to the reanimated monster from Mary Shelley’s classic 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.

‘Frank’ is the latest track to be taken from the Australia-based Irish art-folk virtuoso’s forthcoming debut album Energetic Mind, set for release on Small Pond Records in the UK on 6th September 2019. Aussie experimental music label Art As Catharsis will be handling the release Down Under.

In support of the new record, Bonniesongs has also just announced a rare run of September 2019 UK tour dates supporting labelmate Natalie Evans (see below for full listings).

“I’m just trying to portray honesty, and imagination,” says Stewart of the often metaphysical inspirations behind her songwriting. “I’m someone who is led by heart not head. I’m a very emotive doer and thinker and I think this complexity of processing emotions comes out through my music. Where I might be singing about things like monsters or zombies, there’s a dark and deeper feeling that is more complex—whether that’s a sense of place, missing home, being misunderstood and underestimated, or nostalgia and old memories.”

Commenting on the hair-raising new video—which sees Stewart quite literally lose her head in a series of gruesome laboratory experiments before shuffling off around town as a zombie—she says: “It’s been so great to make music videos for a couple of the tracks. I’m a pretty visual person, so even when I’m writing lyrics, I’m usually picturing a scene or image. I particularly enjoyed making the video for ‘Frank’. We got to fulfill our lifelong destinies to dress up as zombie monsters and it was the best thing ever!”

The album’s lead single ‘Ice Cream’ (also out now) picked up international radio plays from Amazing Radio, Triple J, FBi Radio, and RTRFM, with press coverage from London In Stereo, Paste Magazine, The 405, The Line of Best Fit, CLASH, Crack in The Road, For The Rabbits, Nialler 9, Joe.ie, The Thin Air, Tone Deaf, Everything Is Noise, A Closer Listen, Overdrive Magazine, and a whole host more.

Energetic Mind is released 6th September 2019 via Small Pond Records (UK) and Art As Catharsis (AUS)

Hot new lyric video from electro-pop music duo TGC

Electro-pop sensation TGC (The Green Children) have released their new single ‘Symbiotic’ via Illuminated City on 17th July. With this track comes the colourful lyric video. Along with performing at Summerfest and recording with Universal Music Group, the duo contribute to several charity outreaches on a regular basis.

‘Symbiotic’ on Spotify – Apple Music

These contributions have varied from supporting the charity New Alternatives through a concert benefiting LGBT homeless youth to creating an animated video for a remix of Foster The People’s ‘Houdini’ for SOS Children’s Village.

The philanthropic duo took a step away from their usual projects for a break in sunny Spain. While on the trip, they found inspiration for the synthpop classic, ‘Symbiotic’, with a holiday romance spurring on the imagination.

K.Flay reveals her new music video ‘Sister’

Following the release of her third full-length album Solutions, which dropped earlier this month on Night Street/Interscope Records, GRAMMY Award-nominated artist K.Flay has delivered another compelling visual, this time for her latest single ‘Sister’.

Picking up from where the ‘Bad Vibes’ video left off, ‘Sister’ is the second part of a visual trilogy that continues the themes of sisterhood and support. Having escaped captivity (from the ‘Bad Vibes’ video), K.Flay and a female companion have broken free, only to find themselves in a world where everyone else seems to be moving backwards.

The video was directed by Clara Aranovich and shot in Downtown Los Angeles. Fun fact: Kristine (K.Flay) and her ‘Sister’ are the only ones moving in forward motion while the world around them is moving in reverse – To create this, Kristine had to learn the song completely backwards (in phonetic gibberish).

Solutions has arrived as a breath of fresh air in this somewhat bleak climate, as K.Flay finds catharsis in these arduous times. The acclaimed album has been highly praised internationally by the likes of the Observer, Sunday Times, Dork, Gay Times, Financial Times, Rock Sound, Classic Pop, Nylon, NPR, Under The Radar, The New York Times and many more.

This autumn, K.Flay brings The Solutions Tour to stages across the globe, with a 19-city run in North America before coming to the UK and Europe in October where she will play in Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Manchester, London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Berlin and more.

UK TOUR DATES – OCTOBER
18th – Birmingham, UK – O2 Academy2
19th – Bristol, UK – Thekla
21st – Glasgow, UK – St Luke’s
22nd – Manchester, UK – Gorilla
23rd – London, UK – Heaven

In other news, K.Flay has launched the first of its kind music-focused “microcast” (a shorter form podcast) expressly designed and produced for smart speakers (Amazon and Google Home) around the world. “What Am I Doing Here” is hosted and curated by K.Flay and features conversation, jokes, musical interludes and special guests including Sam Harris (X-Ambassadors), Bishop Briggs, Michael (Fitz and the Tantrums) and many more friends and family.

Equipped with a mobile studio including high quality microphones for her iPhone, apps for recording phone calls and more, “What Am I Doing Here” is recorded 100% live. Whether she decides to record in a supermarket, on the tour bus, or on the phone with her mum or kindergarten age niece, the idea is to transport the listener into her world versus the standard studio recordings. To listen on Alexa, simply say “Alexa, enable K.Flay show” and on Google Home, say “OK Google, talk to K.Flay show.”

Kitzl shares video offbeat new video for ‘Wizard Girls’

Producer and composer Kitzl has released her quirky new video for ‘Wizard Girls’ taken from her album 40 Moons That We Know Of. The video premiered on tastemaker publication Clash Magazine.

Kitzl is a turntablist master and showcases this in her song ‘Wizard Girls.’ Taking sounds that one wouldn’t think to use in music – she and has, has created a sonic masterpiece. ‘Wizard Girls’ is fantastic, combines elements of ambient-electronic-pop, art pop and experimental shoe-gaze into one beautiful cauldron pot of sounds.

Speaking on the track Kitzl explains: “We filmed it all in Elora and in Guelph, close to home. We were chasing an unearthly, neon forest kind of vibe. In the day the wizard girls laze around and recharge, and at night they get down to business. The night-time stuff was really cool to film because the lights in the dark trees immediately looked so eerie, exactly how we’d hoped. I made a lot of moth friends that night.”
