Melbourne, Australia's Oh Pep! will release their sophomore album I Wasn't Only Thinking About You... on October 26th via ATO Records. Today, Stereogum has premiered the third single from the album, 'Your Nail And Your Hammer.' They wrote, 'The insidiously catchy chorus — “Cold little heart breaks apart/ With your nail and your hammer” — sounds like gears grinding up against each other, the machinations of the mind when a brief moment leaves you inexplicably wondering for weeks afterwards.'
Performances have begun for American Captives: Lena Baker & Sandra Bland, written and performed by Connie Winston and directed by Rhonda "Passion" Hansome. The limited engagement will play at Dixon Place Fridays and Saturdays through October 20 at 7:30pm.

Linda Thompson's career began in the much beloved late '60s/early '70s British folk-rock scene, when she went by the name Linda Peters. At first, she was mostly a session singer and a part of a short-lived duo with Paul McNeill with whom she released two singles, in 1968 and 1969. McNeill happened to be friends with Sandy Denny, and soon so was Linda. She became one of the “supergroup” of musician friends related to Fairport Convention for the 1972 The Bunch album, a side project of sorts that highlighted rock hits of the '50s. The album's single featured Linda and Sandy covering the Everly Brothers' “When Will I Be Loved.” Also in 1972 Linda married Richard Thompson; she and Sandy can be found in the credits for his solo debut, Henry the Human Fly. Beginning in 1974, albums started appearing by Richard & Linda Thompson, winding up with 1982's classic Shoot Out the Lights — which also signaled the end of their marriage.

Toronto experimental pop group Bernice will release the their album Puff LP: In the air without a shape this Friday, but first they share an early stream of the record. Puff: LP In the air without a shape – the minimalist follow-up to 2017's maximalist, Grammy Award-winner Shawn Everett-produced Puff EP – has been received with critical acclaim from its first single, “Glue”, which Stereogum lauded as both “gorgeous” and “surprising” and Pitchfork praised, noting that though Bernice's enigmatic sound is difficult to categorize with traditional genre labels, “reinvention continues to be one of few constants in Bernice's music, and they're all the more interesting for it,” through the latest single “He's The Moon,” grabbing the attention of the New York Times who proclaimed it to be “a monument to ephemerality.”
