    There's time enough for a last bit of new music for the day from the good father.

    Mr Tillman (his real name is of course Josh Tillman) sees him relating a hotel check-in experience... of sorts.

    I'm living in a cloud above an island in my mind / Oh baby don't be alarmed / This is just my vibe / No need to walk around / No it's not too bad a climb

    To be honest we're not sure this is really about a hotel, maybe a hotel of the mind.

  6. Muse: 'The guitar is no longer a lead instrument'published at 15:05 GMT 20 February 2018

    The days of rock gods posing heroically with a Fender Stratocaster are over, says Muse frontman Matt Bellamy.

    "The guitar has become a textural instrument rather than a lead instrument," he told the BBC. "And I think that's probably a good thing.

    "What's exciting about this period of music is you can mix classical with hip-hop and rock in the same song.

    "As a rock band you're slightly one foot in the past, playing instruments like guitar, bass and drums."

    Muse have always embraced other styles of music, blending progressive rock, electronica, R&B and operatic flourishes into their stadium-sized anthems.

    On their latest single, Thought Contagion, the band have even used the skittish drum patterns of Trap.

    "That's the first time we've used something like that - big 808 [drum machine] drops and stuff," said Bellamy.

    "We've always kept an eye on what's gong on, and we've taken influence from things we think are cool in contemporary music. It's always been a theme.

    Our Girl's self-titled track, which has been produced by former Coral guitarist BRJ, is out today.

    It’s their first new music since the release of their self-titled debut EP in November 2016.

    Soph said: "Our Girl was the first song I ever wrote, the first song we played together, and the first demo we ever recorded and shared with people. We ended up naming the band after it!

    "So this song feels like the perfect re-introduction to everything we’ve got coming.”

    The incendiary Manchester five-piece have released a hostile new video for their latest single Arms of Pleonexia.

    It sees join frontmen Lee Broadbent and Joe Martin held hostage and left in a room with a gun, a single bullet and one way out.

    The band describe the new music video as:

    Quote Message

    An opportunist representation of how our simplistic, questionable minds view the odious backdrop of the arms trade and the delicate situation of political control that arises tensions all over the world...

    We warn you, it's pretty violent so you'll have to head to the band's YouTube page if you want to watch it

    Their debut album Nihilistic Glamour Shots is out at the end of March.

    Let's get this cleared up once and for all, one is an ancient tale of good versus evil, external, while the other is a duo making hazy,summer dream pop.

    "I was living in Sweden when I started writing and I knew that I wanted to have a Scandinavian sound and I also like the idea of having a masculine sounding name," explains Geowulf's Australian singer Star Kendrick.

    "My voice is quite high and feminine and I quite liked having the yin and yang and something short and sweet.

    "But I was studying Scandinavian history at the time."

    Signed after just one gig in east London, Kendrick, along with bandmate, fellow antipodean Toma Banjanin, have just released their debut album Great Big Blue.

    It's 11-tracks worth of of blissed out summer vibes, reminiscent of Mazzy Star, Saint Etienne and Felt Mountain-era Goldfrapp.

    It's taken three years to record the album, a process made extra difficult, whilst Star had relocated from London to Gothenberg and then Berlin in mainland Europe.

    Quote Message

    I'd come over for these really intense few weeks and we'd do 16 hour days in the studio, our producer would be sleeping in the studio or going home for four or five hours, so far it's been all or nothing.

    "I've been in Sweden or stuck in Australia, stuck in this bureaucratic tangle of visa stuff, so now that I'm based back here it will be cool to get more momentum going."

    Geowulf is very much a family project with the pair - originally from Australia's Sunshine Coast and friends for over a decade - connected by Star's sister.

    "He's been with my sister for over five years, so he's pretty much my brother. I was writing demos by myself and he was doing production at the time, so he happily got involved and it happened really organically."

    They could have almost been a three-piece until her sister declined the offer of a place in the band.

    "She is a brilliant singer and she plays the violin but she was like, 'that's you guys, that's what you want, I don't wanna do that'."

    Star is the band's chief lyricist while it is Toma who provides the music, following - it has to be said - some pretty vague ideas from the singer.

    "I didn't know what I wanted the music to sound like as much as I knew how I wanted it to feel," says Star.

    "That was lot of guitars, really lush sounding, lots of reverb, very dreamy and hazy, these are the words that I would say to Toma and he would have to translate these into like, 'Okay production, what does that mean?

    "We knew we wanted it to sound nostalgic, this fine line between being melancholic but also uplifting at the same time."

    The band have already tasted (sorry) some success with their debut single Saltwater after it was used in a US beer commercial.

    "It felt very lucky but you do think, 'I'm going to be tied to this brand forever'.There's a whole load of feelings about it, but the fact is that the music industry has moved on from something tangible like records, there isn't the same kid of money so having this kind of opportunity, it's cool to set yourself up and have a bit of support that you can do music full time.

    "If you had toilet paper come and ask you for music, you might feel a bit differently, maybe it's case by case but being attached to beer is fine."

    Star says the band - who have received support from BBC Music Introducing in London - have already started thinking about the follow up to their debut album, which was released on Friday.

    With songs like Drink Too Much, which is inspired by a bad break-up, Star admits that "it's been a lot of relationship stuff in this album".

    She continues: "What would be cool with the next album is to be a bit more intentional, to use stuff we've learned writing and recording this one.

    "It's been three years in the making so I'm keen to start writing again, I can't wait."

    He took on the assorted music press on the red carpet of last week's NME Awards, now the former Oasis frontman has been facing far tougher questions from a group of young inquisitors.

    Derbyshire grunge rockers Drenge have announced their first headline tour in three years.

    They'll kick off in Liverpool on 25 April, with all roads leading to Leicester on 5 May.

    Check out the full dates below.

    The band, made up of brothers Eoin and Rory Loveless and Rob Graham, released their last new music in 2015 but have been pretty quiet since then.

    They are also playing Deershed and Leicester's Handmade festival.

    Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party deputy Tom Watson will be interested in this news after he declared them to be an "awesome band" back in 2013.

    Just what every band doesn't want - the approval of an MP.

    Swedish pop pixie Robyn has hinted in a Twitter exchange with fan that we could expect some new music from her in 2018.

    Earlier this month, replying to a fan's question about who decided when she is ready to release new material, she said "I do," adding, "some time this year honey".

    It's her first new music since a couple of EPs in 2014 and 2015 with La Bagatelle Magique and a collaboration with Todd Rundgren in 2017.

    Lorde has told fans who suffer from the acne: "I feel your pain".

    The Kiwi singer posted an Instagram story about the unhelpful things people say about the skin condition.

    "Acne sucks. You know what also sucks?" she asked in the video, before mocking the advice she's been given over the years.

    The 21-year-old suggests that moisturising won't work but coconut oil and a good mind set will.

    "For anyone out there who has got bad skin - and actual bad skin, not the kind of bad skin you can just use a fancy cream for, for a few days, and it will get better.

    "I feel your pain. We'll get there, we will. I promise."
