Today we are bringing you the premiere of the final single from Montreal-based post-punks Talleen! The song is called “House of Kahn”. Speaking to Punknews about the song, lead vocalist A. Petersen said, "We've had this one next to ready for a while, now. Arthur helped us out on bass. Laurine Haddock did a great job on the video. Thematically speaking, let's just say we wrote it for Unsolved Mysteries, the show. Robert Stack standing in the fog at the midnight docks, wearing a long trench coat, exploiting people's anxieties through cheap dramatizations of events depicted.” After seven years, one album (2018’s The Black Sea) one EP (2023’s self-titled), and a handful of singles the band is calling it quits. Speaking about the break-up A. Petersen said, Some people might want to focus on a specific point, but when things don't work out it's usually for all kinds of different reasons added up over time. I suppose that after 7 years we just went as far as we could take it and now it's over and that's that. Moving on.” Listen to Talleen’s final single below!
<p>Collaborations happen all the time, but only a select few deserve instant attention. So when we heard Bloc Party and KennyHoopla linked up on a new single called “Keep It Rolling”, out today (June 2), we put that shit on faster than a DJ spins “Banquet” to help pack an indie dance floor.

<p>Blair Davie has a knack for shining as an artist with a lot to say and perhaps not a lot of time to say it. Back in April the Scottish singer-songwriter found beauty in love and loss on enchanting single “To Miss You”, and yesterday (May 31) returned with a potent urgency through “Lovely,” a rousing dose of indie empower-pop that’s dedicated to the trans community just as Pride month kicks off. Written and produced with Joe Rubel (Ed Sheeran, […]</p>

<p>Echo Ladies are inviting us into their world of intricate, layered dream-pop, but the subject matter behind the Swedish trio’s new single “Awake,” which hits the streams today (June 1), is the stuff that fuels insomnia. “‘Awake’ is a song about the feeling of drifting apart from each other in a relationship,” Echo Ladies relay. “The feeling of being left behind and forgotten and how small of a person that makes you feel, hoping it’s all a bad dream and […]</p>
