Dilly Dally join Grouplove on tour (+release Spotify session)
DILLY DALLY JOIN GROUPLOVE THIS FALL+SHARE SPOTIFY SESSION
LISTEN: "LIVE AT SXSW 2016" SESSION VIA SPOTIFY
WATCH: "DILLY DALLY: A POSTCARD FROM NY" VIA FADER
READ:"HERE'S TO EVERYONE, EVEN THE A$%HOLES"VIA OPENING CEREMONY
Dilly Dally's noisy, ferocious debut Sore (released fall 2015 to critical acclaim) propelled the Toronto-based 4piece into an even busier 2016. Sore was included in the 2016 Polaris Music Prize's long list of nominees and "Desire" is up for SOCAN Song Of The Year.
After taking SXSW by storm (which you can hear now via Spotify Sessions), the punk act co-headlined a North American tour with Fat White Family. While on the road, they spent time with FADER who captured their "visceral postcard to NYC", as well as Opening Ceremony who picked their brains about Toronto's up-and-coming music scene and what punk rock even means today.
Next up, they will play a string of US and Canadian festivals, headline a European tour and then join Grouplove on a North American fall tour. All dates below and here.

"A visual marvel. A movie that belongs in a museum" - RogerEbert.com
"Adam is our Jodorowsky, watch and be cleansed" - Father John MistyRenowned musician and filmmaker Adam Green announced his combination concert/movie tour for his Adam Green's Aladdin project today. Aladdin is a hyper-sensory, poetic and humorously subversive take on the classic Arabian Nights tale, written and directed by Green. The movie features a brand new soundtrack album composed and recorded by Green.The film is a modern day version of Aladdin, with Green starring as the titular character, and explores the recesses of Green’s symbolic imagination wherein the lamp is a 3-D printer, the princess is a decadent socialite, the planet gets a sex-change and its population prints out an analog version of the Internet.
“With Aladdin, I wanted to create a single and unified experience to showcase my music, art and writing,” said Adam Green. “When creating Aladdin, I approached the script like it was a song. It has been the creative journey of a lifetime, and I’m so excited to put this out!”
The fantasy film stars an ensemble cast featuring some of New York’s biggest arts, music, and film talent, including:
Adam Green - AladdinMacaulay Culkin - Ralph the Rebel LeaderNatasha Lyonne - Aladdin’s MomJack Dishel - Uncle Gary / SultanAlia Shawkat - Aladdin's sisterFrancesco Clemente - The GenieHar Mar Superstar - British Druggie GuyDevendra Banhart - SaucemakerBip Ling - the PrincessZoe Kravitz - Old MinerThe movie was filmed entirely with handmade paper-máche sets, with more than 500 props and 30 rooms constructed out of phone books, newspapers, glue, and house-paint. The satirical odyssey revolves around Aladdin’s dysfunctional family, who live in an ordinary city ruled by a corrupt Sultan and explores themes of technology, government repression, greed and true-love.
About AdamAdam Green is renowned around the globe as one of music’s most unique and prolific songwriting talents - his songs have been performed by artists as diverse as The Libertines, Carla Bruni, Kelly Willis, Dean & Britta, and Will Oldham. A New York native, Green was just 17-years old when he recorded and released his first album. As part of the downtown antifolk scene at the end of the nineties he made up one-half of The Moldy Peaches, who enjoyed belated mainstream success via the Grammy-winning, #1 Billboard Chart ranking soundtrack of the 2007 Academy Award-winning movie Juno. As a solo artist Green has recorded 9 albums, many of which have become cult hits. His 2005 record Gemstones went Gold in Europe.
His eruptive bursts of creativity have led him into the world of movies and visual arts - staging exhibitions across Europe and America, most recently at LISTE art fair in Basel. He also found himself writing/producing/directing and acting in The Wrong Ferrari (2010), a “screwball tragedy” which was the first feature film shot entirely on an iPhone. It has since been featured in the curriculum of NYU’s Tisch Film School. Rolling Stone magazine described it as “Fellini on Ketamine.”
In 2015 Adam began a collaboration with Mich Dulce making a line of hats inspired by his artwork and the Aladdin movie. The designs incorporate elements from his HOUSEFACE symbolic alphabet, a group of reduced cubist pictographs gleaned from the facial features of the popular cartoon characters Garfield, Big Bird, and Elmo. In January of 2016 he will exhibit the art from Adam Green's Aladdin at the Fondation Beyeler Museum in Basel, Switzerland.
Of his now multifaceted career Green, says: “You know how people are always looking for a unifying theory? I was looking for a unifying theory of artistic expression. I was trying to create some kind of fluidity within my music, art, writing. If you listen to my songs, you see they’re kind of cartoonish. I try to make songs like my paintings. When creating my movie, I approached the script like it was a song.”ADAM GREEN'S ALADDIN - TRACKLISTINGSIDE A 1. Fix My Blues - 2:20 2. God = Humans - 0:153. Nature of the Clown -2:254.

The Head and the Heart Reveal New Track "Library Magic"
Signs of Light Out September 9, 2016 on Warner Bros. Records
North American Tour Dates Announced

Stream/Share "Library Magic"
Today, The Head and the Heart reveal the second single from their forthcoming albumSigns Of Light. "Library Magic" was released this morning and will be free to anyone whopre-orders the record or who has already placed their pre-order. "Library Magic" is the follow up to the previously released single, "All We Ever Knew," which debuted last month and is already in the top 5 at AAA, and #18 this week on the Alternative chart. Signs of Light will be released on September 9th via Warner Bros. Records.
"Library Magic," which was written by band member Charity Thielen, could almost be seen as a letter to the other five members, acknowledging the ups-and-downs of life in a successful band while celebrating the unique and constantly evolving bond between them. "I wrote that song after having our first real time off as a band," she says. "It touches on the storied relationships between band members trying to survive living in a van off of accelerated time and gas station crafts for years straight, but it also applies to any of life's relationships."
Very excited to share our song, Library Magic, with you! It is very special to us and touches on the important reminder for the quotidien, "there will always be better days." Hope it finds a special resonance in your life too. XX Charity Rose and the band

Today, The Head and the Heart reveal the second single from their forthcoming albumSigns Of Light. "Library Magic" was released this morning and will be free to anyone whopre-orders the record or who has already placed their pre-order. "Library Magic" is the follow up to the previously released single, "All We Ever Knew," which debuted last month and is already in the top 5 at AAA, and #18 this week on the Alternative chart. Signs of Light will be released on September 9th via Warner Bros. Records.
"Library Magic," which was written by band member Charity Thielen, could almost be seen as a letter to the other five members, acknowledging the ups-and-downs of life in a successful band while celebrating the unique and constantly evolving bond between them. "I wrote that song after having our first real time off as a band," she says. "It touches on the storied relationships between band members trying to survive living in a van off of accelerated time and gas station crafts for years straight, but it also applies to any of life's relationships."
Very excited to share our song, Library Magic, with you! It is very special to us and touches on the important reminder for the quotidien, "there will always be better days." Hope it finds a special resonance in your life too.

Available now exclusively for streaming at http://smarturl.it/KPriseAM and for download at http://smarturl.it/KPrise. "This is a song that's been brewing inside me for years, that has finally come to the surface. I was inspired to finish it now, rather than save it for my next album, because now more than ever, there is a need for our world to unite," said Katy Perry. "I know that together we can rise above the fear - in our country, and around the world. I can't think of a better example than the Olympic athletes, as they gather in Rio with their strength and fearlessness, to remind us how we ALL can come together, with the resolve to be the best we can be. I hope this song can inspire us to heal, unite, and rise together. I am honored that NBC Olympics has chosen to use it as an anthem before and during the Rio Games."
