Directed by Niall O'Brien, French describes the song and video as a 'document of hedonism.

Operators, the synth-pop band featuring Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs, Divine Fits), Devojka, and Sam Brown (Divine Fits, New Bomb Turks), have announced that their newest album, Radiant Dawn, will be out this May 17th on Last Gang Records. They recently shared the first single, “Faithless,” a song Consequence of Sound called “darkly coruscating electropop cut with just a hint of '80s psychedelia adding to the warmth, as solid a return single as anyone could hope for.” Stereogum commenter “black sheep boy” rightly proclaimed “THE BOECK IS BACK, BABY!” Listen to “Faithless” and pre-order Radiant Dawn HERE.

Next week Speedy Ortiz will release Twerp Verse, its new full-length album and first in three years, but the album can be heard today as it's streaming early exclusively via NPR First Listen. In the Fall of 2016, Speedy Ortiz went to Brooklyn's Silent Barn to record what they thought would be their third LP, but following election day they knew they had to change course. “The songs on the album that were strictly personal or lovey dovey just didn't mean anything to me anymore--that's not the kind of music I've found healing or motivating in the past few years, and I was surprised I'd written so much of it,” explains front person Sadie Dupuis. 'Social politics and protest have been a part of our music from day one, and I didn't want to stop doing that on this album.' So the band scrapped the album they made, Dupuis wrote more songs over the course of four months, and Speedy Ortiz created the urgent, taught, and pointedly witty Twerp Verse, out April 27th on Carpark. Pre-order Twerp Verse on DSPs HERE, at the Speedy Ortiz store HERE, or at the Carpark store HERE. Stream the album in its entirety via NPR First Listen HERE.
