Northern Transmissions | Song of the Day: “Drown” by Death Lens

Death Lens have released new single “Drown,” the track is off the band’s LP What’s Left Now? available April 24 via Epitaph. The group worked with Producer Zach Tuch (Knocked Loose, Touché Amoré, Movements). Of the song, frontman Bryan Torres comments: “The world keeps moving while I spin in circles of my own design. ‘Drown’ is my frustration of being trapped in my own loop, seeing the world pass by and knowing I’m the reason I can’t catch up. An ode to stagnation and a fear of being forgotten.”

Northern Transmissions | Album Review: My Days of 58

To kick off his new song “Pathol O.G.,” Bill Callahan speak-sings “you know, I’ve been writing songs and singing them nigh on 30 years/I like it/I love it.” Callahan clearly does like and love it. He has been releasing a lot of music and for a long time. Which is why it’s hard to believe My Days of 58, his eighth solo record, is his first since 2022. Throw in his 11 full-lengths as Smog and we have a veritable canon and institution.

Stereogum | Interview: We’ve Got A File On You: Bill Callahan

Bill Callahan has loosened up in middle age. Within the pantheon of inscrutable indie legends, the veteran singer-songwriter is a Mount Rushmore-worthy figure. From his early lo-fi releases as Smog to the rootsier records under his own name, he's struck a delicate balance between heartfelt conviction and emotional distance. It's a posture akin to towering figures like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, and Callahan's catalog deserves to be mentioned in the same breath. But domestic life has softened him.
