Dear Nora: Skull Example

Skulls Example is Dear Nora’s first new album in 12 years. Following the reissue of their seminal 2004 LP, cited as influences for younger songwriters like Girlpool, Davidson revived the project in response to the political climate. Written between 2009 and 2017 and recorded with bandmates in Portland last year, Skulls Example lays out Davidson’s concerns for humanity and the friction of nature and futuristic ideas over sharp-witted folk rock songs. It’s out on Orindal Records.

Jenny Hval: The Long Sleep

The follow-up to Jenny Hval’s acclaimed 2016 album Blood Bitch is The Long Sleep, an adventurous new EP that sees the Norwegian multidisciplinary artist embracing an instinctive, even subconscious, approach to creating meaning. In contrast to Hval’s more explicitly conceptual work, The Long Sleep foregrounds the act of composition itself, letting the melodies and structures reveal the other elements of the songs. All of the songs on the EP recycle the same compositional motives, but manipulate them into very different shapes that take them further and further out of their original, “life-like” context.

Jonathan Davis: Black Labyrinth

The Bakersfield, CA singer, songwriter, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist indelibly impacts millions as front man for alt-metal/rock game-changers KoRn—whose accolades encompass two Grammy Award wins, worldwide sales of 40 million-plus, and countless sold out shows in nearly every corner of the globe. Throughout over 20 years in music, his presence coursed through the film scores, contributions to popular video game franchises, and official remixes for the likes of Steve Aoki and more. Along the way, he lent his voice to tracks for everyone from Linkin Park to Tech N9ne. However, 2018 sees him doing something he has yet to do: release his first solo album.

Writing and recording on the road, he played guitar, keys, and anything else he could get his hands on. Moreover, the music was primarily record live.

TRACK LISTING:

01. Underneath My Skin
02. Final Days
