Twin Peaks share new single “Butterfly”

The latest track from the Twin Peaks​ is a distorted, doom-filled dance song that could, “quite honestly be summed up as ‘let’s have sex because we’re all going to die.” And the track certainly has a sense of the rushed, exhilarating anxiety that you can associate with the end of the world – or SXSW (where the band wrote this little number). We also dig the apocalyptic vibes of the lyric video and Clay’s penmanship.

Watch the full video below or catch the premiere over at Pitchfork and read a more in-depth discussion with the boys.

Esme Patterson shares new single “Feel Right”

“No one wants to love someone who don’t love you” Ain’t that the truth? And there are a lot of truths on Esmé Patterson’s third solo record We Were Wild. The full album will be out on June 10th but you can preorder your digital copy via iTunes starting tomorrow or secure a vinyl in the Grand Jury store right now.

But thankfully you don’t have to wait until June for a sample of Esmé’s brand of brash, brassy songwriting. Noisey premiered her first single “Feel Right” off the album and you can listen here. There’s feedback, a snappy melody, and deliciously gravelly vocals. Noisey called the track, “pop with a smidge of punk. Pop with claws.” And we agree. Watch out, this one will grab ahold of you and not let go.

So when you inevitably find yourself humming this earworm, go relieve that cognitive itch and catch Esmé  on tour. She’ll be rolling through a bar near you with  San Fermin. Find the full schedule here.

“your cat is a friendly brother
who would offer his heart with allegiance
and if he could talk we’d be best friends
the only friend he has is his food”

Mothers debut album “When You Walk A Long Distance You Are Tired” out today

Mothers debut album When You Walk A Long Distance You Are Tired is now out in the world! And people are saying all sorts of nice things about this one. For instance:

“Mothers is a band you’re going to want to keep at least one eye, maybe two, on this year. Kristine Leschper’s voice is a slow, hypnotizing croon that will sooth your soul of whatever worries it might have.” – Noisey

or:

“[Mothers] songs toe the line between free-falling folk and embittered punk, somewhere between baring your soul and baring your teeth.” – Stereogum

And starting today, you can head over to your local independent record store and snag a very special, limited edition package which includes the beautiful clear green vinyl, the bonus track “Accessory Cloud,” and a zine designed by the band exclusively for the album. We only made 300 of these gems, so don’t dawdle.

Finally, don’t forget: Mothers is still on the road! Catch the band now during their US tour; you can find the dates here.
