Ethan Hawke and Maya Hawke are just a couple of over 20 musicians who’ve contributed to Light in the Attic & Friends, a covers compilation that’ll be released for Record Store Day’s annual Black Friday event. As a preview, the father-daughter actor duo have shared their rendition of Willie Nelson’s “We Don’t Run,” featuring production from Christian Lee Hutson and mixing by Jay Som’s Melina Duterte.
Considering the delicate indie folk Maya releases on her own, it’s not too much of a surprise that Nelson’s classic outlaw country would be a staple of the Hawke household while she was growing up: “This song is off Willie’s brilliant album Spirit, which has been a mainstay in our home since it was released in 1996,” Ethan said in a statement. “Everybody needs a good anthem song. This is one of the best.”

Ethan and Maya Hawke have shared a cover of the Willie Nelson deep cut, “We Don’t Run,” which will appear on an upcoming compilation from the venerable reissue/archival label, Light in the Attic.
Light in the Attic & Friends — out Nov. 24 for Record Store Day Black Friday — will feature an array of artists covering various far-flung rarities Light in the Attic has released over the years. The compilation was borne out of Lita’s Cover Series, and will feature a handful of previously issued recordings, as well as nearly a dozen new ones.

A former translator for American troops in Kabul — a role that eventually allowed her to leave her birth country but left her with unresolved feelings of guilt and shame — 20something Donya now lives by herself in a Fremont, California, apartment complex full of other Afghan immigrants. Whatever sense of community Donya gets from the other people in the building doesn’t seem to alleviate her quiet isolation, even if neighbors like Suleyman (Timur Nusratty) and Salim (Siddique Ahmed) are readily available for wistful conversation at all hours of the night.
When the sun comes up, Donya commutes to her job at a Chinese-owned fortune cookie factory, where she’s responsible for printing out the cryptic sayings that other people will eventually translate for themselves. That...

When it comes to lowered expectations in pop, there probably isn’t a better candidate than the Avalanches’ third record. The Australian Edm combo’s debut, Since I Left You, took the art of constructing music out of samples to a heightened level of craft; that patchwork quilt of music was one of 2000’s kickiest albums. Nearly two decades passed before we heard from the Avalanches again, and when we did, time seemed to have passed them by: 2016’s Wildflower was a far less satisfying grab-bag of voices, sound effects...

The Avalanches have teamed with Leon Bridges for their new track “Interstellar Love,” the latest single from the Australian duo’s upcoming album We Will Always Love You.
The track features a sample of Alan Parsons Project’s “Eye in the Sky” and is inspired — like the album itself — by the story of astronomer Carl Sagan and his wife Ann Druyan capturing their romance on tape and sending it into space as part of the Voyager’s Golden Record.
“Leon is an incredible singer, with just the most beautiful voice.

The Avalanches have shared two new songs, “Take Care in Your Dreaming” and “Music Makes Me High,” from their next record, We Will Always Love You, out December 11th via Astralwerks.
“Take Care in Your Dreaming” is booming track that mixes meditative synths and vocal hooks, with hard-hitting drums and triumphant guest verses from Denzel Curry and Sampa the Great. Storied producer Tricky also contributed to the track.
“Music Makes Me High,” meanwhile, is a slick bit of sample-based disco pop that bolsters its euphoric groove with the voices of...

The Avalanches have dropped two new songs, “Wherever You Go” and “Reflecting Light,” from their upcoming as-yet-untitled album. Their third LP will be the follow-up to 2016’s Wildflower, which was their first album in 16 years.
The Jamie xx co-produced “Wherever You Go” features vocals from Neneh Cherry and Clypso and piano from Mick Jones. It also samples The Voyager Golden Record, the 12-inch gold-plated copper disk launched into space in 1977, which houses sounds and images that were chosen “to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth,” per NASA.

Reclusive “Ode to Billie Joe” and “Fancy” songwriter Bobbie Gentry continues to inspire a new generation of artists including indie rockers Mercury Rev, who have debuted their uniquely psychedelic jazz rendition of the Mississippi legend’s swampy “Okolona River Bottom Band,” with vocal assistance from Norah Jones.
“Okolona” is the opening track on Mercury Rev’s forthcoming LP, The Delta Sweete Revisited, the Buffalo, New York band’s track-by-track recreation of Gentry’s sophomore LP, released 50 years ago next month. Coming on the heels of the singer-songwriter’s groundbreaking debut,...

The mainstream drew me back in a little this year, though mostly by looking back several decades to the same things I love and incorporating them into music that doesn't especially sound like 2014.
1. Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra: Fuck Off Get Free We Pour Light on Everything (Constellation)
I think of Silver Mt. Zion as the post-rock Pogues. They have the drunken singing and the scratchy fiddling and the punky energy, but in a sort of gritty yet sophisticated Godspeed! You Black Emperor musical context (and in fact founder/singer/guitarist Efrim Manuel Menuck used to be in Godspeed!). On their eighth album, the added intensity that appeared on their previous album is increased; this may be their best yet. My favorite track is "What We Loved Was Not Enough," where at first it seems like he's singing "The days come when we no longer fail," but then when...

If there is one defining characteristic about composer Max Richter, is that he refuses to stay within any preconceived boundaries. Classically trained at Edinburgh University and finishing his studies under the tutelage of avant-garde composer Luciano Berio in Florence, from there Richter’s career went in a variety of directions. He did traditional compositional work, collaborated with acts as varied as The Future Sound Of London, Roni Size and Vashti Bunyan, and issued his own complex and acclaimed solo work. So it was only a matter of time until the movies came calling for Richter’s unique, soulful and avant work, and the last decade has seen him contribute to films such as the animated “Waltz With Bashir,” the Wwi drama “Lore,” the sci-fi “Last Days On Mars,” the intimate “Wadjda” and many more. But always looking for a further challenge, Richter has now tackled his first TV gig with...

Ahead of this year’s BAFTAs, HeyUGuys had the privilege to catch up with the writer-director of Victor + Kelly Kieran Evans who is nominated for the Best British Debut BAFTA on Sunday the 16th February. It is a nomination he never expected, but one that he admits has put him a great position.
Whilst the purpose of our conversation was his BAFTA nomination, in speaking with Kieran I uncovered a compelling story of his journey towards his nomination for outstanding debut. Behind the BAFTA gold mask lies a story of a mother and her son’s love for cinema, their appreciation of cinematic magic, a filmmakers reverence for the craft of filmmaking, and the desire to create stories that have and will continue to take us out of our space.
A fitting way to begin proceedings would be to ask about the genesis of Kelly + Victor, which has culminated in...

Agnes Obel - Between The Bars (Elliott Smith cover) iTunes Live From Paris Ep by Girlie Action
Danish singer/ songwriter Agnes Obel is a bona fide star at home in Europe, with big sales and shows across much of the continent during the last year. When I saw her play in Norway this Winter during Oslo's by:Larm conference, a rapt audience hung on every piano note she played and every tale she told between songs. It was as if she was slated to emerge spontaneously as an international sensation, and they'd hate to miss a moment of the metamorphosis.
But Obel has struggled to meet those expectations across the Atlantic, despite many favorable notices in the press and over-reaching comparisons to Joanna Newsom and Cat Power. Those two have taken many more musical chances than Obel on her half-there, even if occasionally stunning debut album, Philharmonics, and that's the idea...

Vashti Bunyan is one of the more obscure figures from the late-60s British folk scene. She released a couple of singles and one little-known album, "Just Another Diamond Day." Bunyan's ethereal music has attracted a cult following in the year since, and she appears on a new film soundtrack. As a treat for fans, Bunyan appears on the soundtrack to the autism documentary "Wretches & Jabberers," which also includes singers like Stephen Stills, Norah Jones and Carly Simon.

What the band's #1 Billboard debut means for our Britney-loving nation, in Bigger Than the Sound

By the time you read this, the Decemberists — the Pacific Northwest's leading purveyors of bookish indie and songs with titles like "The Prettiest Whistles Won't Wrestle the Thistles Undone" — will have the #1 album in the country. I would say this marks perhaps the whitest moment of the SoundScan era, but, then again, Cake had the #1 album on the Billboard chart just last week.
So instead, I'll just call it the most hopeful moment. Because, quite frankly, I have been waiting for something like 15 years to live in a society where a group like the Decemberists can top the charts. It's about as close as we'll probably get to Utopia, after all, a beatific, egalitarian existence in which we debate issues, study great tomes,...

Click below to listen to the new album of covers, dreamt up by Eddie Bezalel, helped and produced by Hugo Nicolson, and topped off with the voice of Nevada City, California's Alela Diane. It's a wonderful collection of lost classics and unearthed gems from artists like Daniel Johnston, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, and Vashti Bunyan sung with arresting clarity by Diane.
