Dog Park announced their new album Festina Lente, set to be released on April 19 via Géographie. Alongside the reveal of an album, the Paris-based group have also released their first single from it, “Time”, which showcases their knack for blending dreamy soundscapes with a tinge of indie rock rawness.

The track is paired with a lovely music video, set in the heart of Paris’s 18th arrondissement, close to the renowned Sacré-Cœur, where there’s a charming dog park that captures the essence of life’s simple pleasures, set against the eternal scenery of the city.

Glasgow’s queer quintet Walt Disco announced their new LP The Warping which will be out on June 14 via Lucky Number. They are releasing a new single and video titled “You Make Me Feel So Dumb” in addition to sharing the news.

Drawing inspiration from the exhaustion of socializing during tours, the song is accompanied by a playful video depicting the band disrupting a formal corporate networking event.

At the moment Walt Disco is in the midst of a large-scale European and UK tour, opening for OMD, and they plan to join the synth pop legends again for an extended North American tour this fall. It will include performances in cities such as NYC, Los Angeles, Boston, DC, Seattle, Portland, and Denver, among others.

Amen Dunes followed up his recent hit “Purple Land” with another new cut “Boys”. Both songs are taken from his forthcoming album Death Jokes, set for release on May 10 through Sub Pop.

The single is accompanied by a cool music video directed by Steven Brahms. In it, Damon McMahon is seen sitting on a sofa watching television, as two younger men create some absolute chaos and destruction in the room around him.

Back in January Irish indie rock band Pillow Queens announced their new LP Name Your Sorrow, which will be out on April 19 via Royal Mountain Records. We already heard “Gone”, and now the group presents another new single/video “Like a Lesson”.

The guitar-centric cut delves into the yearning for intimacy and the pursuit of closeness, alongside the anxieties and vulnerabilities associated with revealing oneself. Through the brilliant track, Pillow Queens affirm their position as not just musicians, but as storytellers capable of touching hearts and stimulating minds with their art.
