St. Vincent has unveiled a sweaty video for “Fast Slow Disco,” her recently reworked version of MASSEDUCTION track “Slow Disco.” Directed by Zev Deans, the video sees Annie Clark dancing in a packed gay club, surrounded by sweaty, harnessed men. At one point, we see Clark lay upon a sea of men participating in an orgy (there’s no actual nudity though). Clark said of the song, “I always felt this song could wear many different outfits and live many different lives. here she is in disco pants, sweating on a new york dance floor.” St. Vincent will be in Seattle on Monday, September 10 to open for Florence + The Machine at the Key Arena, along with rapper Lizzo.

The track was co-written by Welch with Jamie xx and features saxophonist Kamasi Washington, who is releasing a new album, Heaven and Earth, tomorrow. High As Hope is out June 29 via Republic.

London-born/New York-based duo Still Corners have announced a new album, Slow Air, and shared a video for its first single, “Black Lagoon.” Slow Air will drop August 17 via their self-run label, Wrecking Light and follows 2016’s Dead Blue. Frontwoman Tessa Murray said this about the new album: “We wanted to hear beautiful guitar and drums and an otherworldliness, something almost indefinable along with a classic song writing vibe. We’re always trying to get the sound we hear inside of ourselves, so we moved fast to avoid our brains getting in the way too much. The name Slow Air evokes the feel of the album to me, steady, eerie and beautiful.” The duo also announced a slew of tour dates behind Slow Air, including a stop in Seattle on Monday, November 5 at the Tractor Tavern.
