The alluring new city-pop seducer from the Los Angeles duo of Alison Goldfarb and Jackson MacIntosh (TOPS, Drugdealer) has obvious call-backs to nocturnal ’80s synth-pop, in both sound and structure, but we also hear some glossy sonic DNA that transports us to a better […]</p>

<p>The Strokes have a new single out this week, and it’s a fluttering daydream of a tune that’s taking us to an alternate reality where the New York City indie band is getting set to headline Boston Calling next weekend.

After recording an album together and playing a number of collaborative shows, Sting and Shaggy are embarking on another project. ,i>The Last Ship runs at the Metropolitan Opera and is described as: "Inspired by Sting’s childhood in a shipbuilding community near Newcastle in the industrial northeast of the United Kingdom, and drawing on his own musical roots, The Last Ship tells the piercing story of a town facing the disappearance of their shipyard—the heart of their existence. “I literally grew up in the shadow of the yard,” Sting says. “I dreamed of escaping—and I succeeded. But later I realized I had to give something back. The Last Ship is my tribute to the people and the place that shaped me.” The event runs in June and features both Sting and Shaggy. You can see a promo for the performance here. Tickets are available now.

Ina press release, the band stated: ""’Bootleg’ is a compilation of songs written and recorded overtime with no particular intent or goal in mind. This album is and was purely a pleasurable endeavor by us both. Every track has its own meaning or story, not unlike a chapter book of different narratives." You can check out the lead video, "5 Mile Ponytail," below.
