What's Your Pleasure? The Platinum Pleasure Edition, out June 11th and available to preorder now, features the original 12-track album — Number Nine on Rolling Stone's list of the 50 Best Albums of 2020 — with eight new songs and remixes, including “Please” and the Endless remix of the standout “Adore You.”

2 SONGS, 7 MINUTES
RELEASED 8 JANUARY 2021
℗ 2021 CANNONS, UNDER EXCLUSIVE LICENSE TO COLUMBIA RECORDS, A DIVISION OF SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT

In a Heartbeat – EP is the new album by Cannons. Newest single from the album is Round and Round. This album has been released on 2018-07-13 and contains 5 tracks.

Cannons have shared their groove-laden new single, ‘Bad Dream’.
The LA trio have a sense of old-school cool that flows through their work with an ’80s revivalist element to their sound, and their latest effort, ‘Bad Dream’, is no different and sees Cannons look set to follow up on a breakthrough year in 2020.
Last year was a wild one for the band who released their sophomore album, Shadows, independently in 2019, and the record was largely slept on at the time, just like their 2017 debut. The band’s big break came after Cannons’ track, ‘Fire For You’, was used during a pivotal moment in Netflix’s hit-show Never Have I Ever.
Following the programme’s airing, the track stormed to number one in the Alternative Charts in the States and has now racked up over 27 million streams on Spotify alone.
In speaking about the track, Cannons say: “We’re excited to share our new single ‘Bad Dream’ and hope you find yourself connecting to it as much as we have been during this time of such uncertainty in the world.”
‘Bad Dream’ is the first effort released from the group since they penned a deal with RCA and got started on the new, exciting chapter of their journey since their lives changed last year.
Cannons haven’t altered their sound to make it more commercial, they’re still making the same kind of twisted and depraved indie-pop that they’ve been quietly mastering in the shadows for the last few years, with ‘Bad Dream’ acting as a slick way to begin their next chapter.

「引」
手机的震动将日子割为碎块，立体的生活压平至一电子屏幕：高潮与失落的波长缩短，频率高窜，怂恿世人马上行动。在熵增的不确定性中，有一种确定性将人类带到了虚假的出口—消费主义的即刻满足。一切消费行为不仅内嵌了加速机制，还掀起了随从的大浪。那些借风起舞的聪明人，像猎鹰一样扑向新的营地，竖起新的文化符号，等待他人的朝圣。
在这场“娱乐即为正义”的社会游戏里，人们渐渐失去自我，失去思考。加快步伐，奔向何方？盲目的奔跑最终跑不进未来。人们逐渐觉醒，就像他们一次性消费的物品一般，廉价的快感不可持续，转而变成精神田野上的垃圾。人的惰性中藏着暗处，这些逆流者却要刺开它而寻找光。在趋同的压力下，寻求独立的答案。这是一场思想的战争，没有硝烟，却有无形的枷锁等待挣脱。隐忍与自由，探索与希望，属于那些逆风飞行的人。
本张专辑探讨了社交媒体文化引发的社会问题：语言的失效，独立思考的丧失，同质化的外界规则，高效社会的系统性焦虑。Lexie作为Z世代的代表艺术家，深刻体会着这些问题带来的虚无，麻木，和钝痛；屏幕上的她，是一个流动的存在，多重身份的表演者，也是一面镜子。在物质膨胀和精神压缩的循环中，她是一个局中人，但也是一个破局者。Lexie用音乐构建了一个虚拟的游戏空间，在转换的角色叙事中，感受一次次的毁灭和重生，与人类文明的迭代一般，在此周而复始中领悟自由的真谛。碎片化的歌词引人思索语言的作用，也是碎片化信息的时代缩影；而Lexie用这些以小见大的碎片拼凑起灵魂深处更真挚的感受。这张具备反叛精神的专辑，在虚实的交替中，重述着人性的渴望。
Lexie’s album explores her internal and external identities as an artist in the increasingly social-media-dominated world, raising questions on consumerism, disconnection with oneself, barriers of language, and fictional narratives with which one hopes to be freed from systematic modern anxiety. As an anchorless game player, she gazes into reality through the demise and rebirth of her changing roles. She is a fluid existence sliding through screens, collecting herself through the fragmented lyrics, much like fragmented pieces of information flying around. In the closed loop of material inflation and mental deflation, she strives to pave the way for rebellion, seeking refuge in the discovery of more sincere emotions. In the virtual space constructed in this album, she deeply reflects on Gen Z problems and challenges the set rules of society in order to rethink the future.

「上线了 GONE GOLD」
她不属于任何厂牌，流派，或者职业，因为她是一个表演者，是某种意志的呈现，是她想要创造的任何角色。这和玩游戏有什么区别？结束了一个角色，再投入到另外一个角色，重新自我创造和毁灭。GONE GOLD原是游戏界的一句行话，意为游戏已经完成开发，进厂准备大量生产游戏光盘。
今天的角色是一个GONE GOLD女孩——她在角色扮演的游戏临界点，伸手触及了自由。

「有吗炒面」
(ALGTR)
“时事新闻，花边热点，碎片信息。精致到不真实的人类与虚拟人，在屏幕之间穿梭跳跃，辐射出大同小异的蓝光: 美丽、焦虑、空虚、欲望和微弱却持久的暴力。我们对疯狂事件习以为常，对电子产品极度依赖，对完美外表渴望成瘾，与所有与之共生的美好一起，构成了我眼中的这个时代。在这里，时间线被按下快进, 人们跟随着人潮挤进虚拟世界，寻找人生的终极奥义。
什么是真实？
我们能够触摸，感受到的一切即是真实吗？
还是说，真实仅是一种设想？
「有吗炒面」构建了一个游戏般戏谑的世界观。在一款虚拟现实游戏中，玩家的一举一动都被无处不在的镜头捕捉，当玩家每做一个决定，就会触发因果关系带来的N种可能性, 存档于N重现实中。我们的生活被浓缩在监控显示器的一⻆，编号第N+1颗地球。
虚拟世界中的玩家，以为自己感知到了所有的真实，但在作者的显示器里，玩家的情绪、意识、感受，都只是某个实验样本对外界刺激给出的反馈。
「See you later，Alligator」这句俗语中的Alligator (小鳄⻥) 一词，只是为了押韵而出现, 却没有实际意义。 这一词在语境中意义的空缺启发了我，似乎我所经历的一切都是在为游戏中的生命寻找一个虚无的答案。 这位代号为小鳄⻥的玩家, 她的意识出现了系统故障, 在梦境中看到了游戏后台控制室的一切，成为了游戏世界中第一个发现作者存在的玩家。 她的世界观被颠覆,并下决心逃离这里, 结束游戏, 与所有显示器内的玩家一同重获自由, 并毁灭这个被控制的世界。游戏中无法倒退的时间线剥夺了玩家对过去的控制权, 她意识到, 只有重塑未来, 才是玩家们的唯一选择。
「有吗炒面」是新EP《上线了 GONE GOLD》的主打先行单曲。重塑”是这首歌的关键词之一，也是新EP里我最想实现的一件事。 每当我的创作进入一个新的阶段, 我必然会经历一段灵感匮乏的瓶颈期, 然后不情愿地跳出舒适圈, 离开曾经的温暖和熟悉, 甚至为了让自己不再回头而将它全盘粉碎, 才能像一个新生儿一样重新探索这个世界。这个过程也特别像是玩家小鳄⻥的体验, 结束游戏，重获新生，终结过去，重塑未来。 其实这首歌对我而言的意义很简单:每当我受困于即刻的情绪, 或是对过去的懊悔, 我都应该, 时刻保持意识在线, 着眼于当下，才可以重塑未来。我同时也想用这首歌提醒一下麻木的自己: 这个世界不是只有自我麻痹，还充满着对真实感的渴望, 和重塑未来的勇气。”

Minimal Wave is proud to present a full length LP by French duo Deux. Gérard Pelletier and Cati Tete formed Deux after meeting in Lyon in 1981. Their music can be described as minimal synth with stripped down rhythm compositions and suitably cold duets. Their influences are a perfect blend of Kraftwerk and French synthpop. Between 1983 and 1992, they released a cassette and several rare singles : Felicita / Game & Performance and Europe / Paris / Orly. They also appeared on the V/A BIPP LP (2006) and most recently on V/A The Minimal Wave Tapes: Vol 1 LP. The album features newly remastered demo tracks as well as their best studio recordings. Check out their Felicita video linked below. This LP is a hand numbered limited second edition, pressed on 180 gram vinyl, housed in a heavy matte jacket lined in pink and accompanied by an insert in loving memory of Gérard. R.I.P. Gérard Pelletier (1952-2013)

Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, known professionally as the Weeknd, is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. Noted for his falsetto and eccentric music style, Tesfaye is recognized for heavily influencing contemporary R&B and multiple artists.

Colourbox were an English electronic musical group on the 4AD label, releasing a number of records between 1982 and 1987

Wonderfully unique, shape-shifting pop that takes the Irish singer/songwriter down her most daring avenues yet. Róisín Murphy’s fourth solo album is certainly challenging. It piles up rich melodies (“Mastermind”, “Nervous Sleep”) and doubles down on quixotic rhythms (“Thoughts Wasted”, “Romantic Comedy”), but once attached to Murphy’s off-kilter frequency, you’re hypnotised. Don’t ever change, Róisín.

Her first album in 8 years, Hairless Toys is a career defining tour de force. Tipping its hat to the dark disco of European house music, Casablanca Records and Grace Jones, while seamlessly taking in the freedom and organic spirit of jazz, country and gospel.
The rich, expansive production - by Roisin s long time musical collaborator Eddie Stevens - is full of inventive loops and unlikely hooks, a grand magical spell exemplified by album opener Gone Fishing {hyperlink}. A song inspired by the film Paris Is Burning, where originality, invention and celebration are escapes from the ugly realities of the world around us, a place where The practice of realness, feels so surreal.
As Roisin explains This song was written after I watched the documentary film Paris Is Burning, having read an article which referenced it in a discussion about House music's origins in black, gay culture. I was deeply moved by this film. I had to run this far from home - it's about the outcasts who could never fit into mainstream society and how they created a safe place in the drag 'Ball' scene of New York in the 80s. Will we live on? The children of La Beija refers to the 'house' of Pepper La Beija, who was one of the most notable figures on the scene, Pepper is also quoted in Malcolm McLaren's song on the same subject 'Deep In Vogue'. The culture was a flamboyant reaction to persecution and disillusionment, the imagination and bravery of these kids is simply awe-inspiring. I envisioned Gone Fishing almost as a song from a Broadway musical version of this story. The making of one's own world, a safer world and the creation of a new, better family in music or youth culture is a theme I touch upon elsewhere on my album Hairless Toys.
The genesis of Hairless Toys lies in last year s Mi Senti EP. A release mainly of covers, all sung in Italian, a collaboration between Roisin, her partner Sebastiano Properzi, and Eddie Stevens. This very adult-orientated Disco , channelling Edith Piaf through Studio 54, was a release that reminded us of a creative free spirit with a voice and direction unmistakably her own.
Recording Mi Senti had proved the time was right for a full length album with Eddie Stevens in the producer s chair. Stevens has been Musical Director for all Roisin's live work since 1997. She credits him with a kind of awakening It s Eddie who made me feel that I could really own this job. He helped me come to terms with who I was and what I was doing up there on stage, and I kinda feel that it`s only out of our strange but perfect chemistry that I became a live performer at all 34.
The two spent five weeks last winter holed up in Eddie s studio, a session resulting in some thirty songs, eight of which were selected for Hairless Toys. Five intense yet liberating weeks of writing, Roisin zooming through the thinking / scribbling / singing / break / thinking / scribbling / singing / break routine for hour upon hour with Eddie adding more synths, some percussion, a bit of guitar, and editing on the fly.
According to Murphy the choice of which songs to put where was straightforward. To select just eight songs from the vast batch written last year required some pretty vigorous editing. The record could have been much longer but this seemed like just the right combination, and in fact the sequencing fell into place with more ease than any other album I've made.
It begins with Gone Fishing that chimes like the bells of a buoy bullied by tide, everything hanging from a two-note octave. The lyric written after watching Jennie Livingston`s Paris Is Burning , a study of race, class, gender and sexuality in America
Sonically adventurous, Hairless Toys, embraces a broad palette of genres yet is consistently engaging and thrilling throughout. An exceptional return from an outstanding artist.

Overpowered is the second solo studio album by Irish singer and songwriter Róisín Murphy. It was released on 15 October 2007 by EMI Records. Receiving widespread critical acclaim, the album was more commercially successful than its predecessor, Ruby Blue (2005), debuting at number 20 on the UK Albums Chart with 9,656 copies sold in its first week.

MGMT is a psychedelic synthpop group formed in 2002 in Brooklyn, NY. The band consists of multi-instrumentalists Andrew VanWyngarden (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Ben Goldwasser (vocals, keyboards, synths, drums), both alumni of Wesleyan University.
Electronic Indie Dance Rock began as a thesis project from music majors at Wesleyan University. They used to be known as “the management” with songs about not quite growing up and a lot of nonsense. They are known for playing shows with only an ipod and some mics.
Andrew Vanwyngarden, one of the MGMT figureheads, is currently collaborating with of Montreal’s Kevin Barnes, with plans to release a record in 2008 under the name Blikk Fang. MGMT was on tour with Of Montreal late in 2005 and VanWyngarden has been appearing on stage during some performances on Of Montreal’s summer 06 tour.
MGMT are currently touring the US with Yeasayer.
