New Zealand artist & producer Pickle Darling (Lukas Mayo) has announced that their new album Laundromat will be out June 16 on Father/Daughter Records.

To celebrate the news, they are also sharing a stellar new single “Head Terrarium”, which is paired with the music video, directed, shot and edited by Martin Sagadin. Speaking about it, Mayo says:

“Martin and I often start with a really vague brief. I’m generally more interested in videos having a unique language than a literal narrative. We talked a lot about movies where the world kind of ‘breaks’ for a moment, like Persona or Donkey Skin or Synecdoche New York, where you kind of see ‘beyond’ the movie every now and then and it’s like “what is going on there?” Cause I think my songs do that sometimes, like a kind of ‘zooming out’. That was kind of the only brief I gave, and I also said ‘just make something incredibly weird’ and they did”.

Five months after the release of their debut EP, London trio Dama Scout return with the new single “Milky Milk”.

The band, as usual being totally unpredictable, comfortably mixes slow and quite moments with chaos, beauty and some crunchy guitar riffs. Listen to the song below.
