Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke debuted a new, 10-minute song called "Coloured Candy" during Rag & Bone's 2017 Spring/Summer runway show. It features lines from The Universal Sigh, the free newspaper that accompanied the release of Radiohead’s eighth studio album The King of Limbs. Check out the video below. [CoS]

Ohio indie rockers Cloud Nothings have shared a few more details about their upcoming album. In an interview with Columbus Alive, frontman Dylan Baldi said this album will be more "vocal heavy" than 2014's Here And Nowhere Else. He also said that the message will be different this time around. " “Within the last couple years [political and social issues] have been a little more present in my life. In general, I think more people are becoming aware of how to treat the world, so I’m just falling in line [because] you want to be more of a global, useful citizen. We’re taking a more outward view with this record, but it’s still through an internal filter. It’s about bigger things than me complaining — in my mind, at least.” We still don't know when the new LP will drop, but Baldi did tweet a snowman emoji, so I'm betting on a winter release date.

Perfume Genius is literally a perfume genius. He's teamed up with Prada for their - you guessed it - new fragrance ad. His cover of Elvis Presley's iconic "Can't Help Falling In Love" is a stunner. I couldn't care less about the perfume, but the song is lovely. Let's hope he makes a full version available for download somewhere. [Pitchfork]
