Chrysalis Records has released a new Nick Drake anthology tribute album called The Endless Coloured Ways – The Songs of Nick Drake, which includes contributions from Liz Phair, Feist, Radiohead’s Philip Selway, and more. Stream it below on Spotify and Apple Music.
The anthology features 23 interpretations of some of Drake’s most beloved tracks, performed by various artists like Ben Harper, Fontaines D.C., Bombay Bicycle Club, and more, spread across two Lps/CDs. The idea for the album came from Cally Callomon, who manages Nick Drake’s estate, and co-founder of Blue Raincoat Music and CEO of Chrysalis Records Jeremy Lascelles.
“Nick Drake was not that concerned with promoting himself as an artist but I think he would have been overjoyed to hear his art revisited and newly promoted by so many vibrant and talented artists,” said Callomon about the tribute.

Nick Drake’s discography proved to be a goldmine for the forthcoming album The Endless Coloured Ways, a collection of 32 of the musician’s most essential catalog entries reimagined by various artists. On the first release from the project, out July 7, Fontaines D.C. flips Drake’s 1969 classic “‘Cello Song.”
The post-punk band’s rendition is heavier, pushing loud guitars and thick bass lines to the surface where Drake originally coasted alongside softer instrumentals. It’s the exact recording approach Jeremy Lascelles, co-founder of Blue Raincoat Music and CEO of Chrysalis Records,...

In our Q&a series Last Call, we get down to the bottom of every last thing with some of our favorite celebs - from the last time they were starstruck to the last song they listened to. This week, Alicia Crowder takes our call.
We're nearing the end of season one of "Tell Me Lies," but Alicia Crowder promises there are still some major surprises in store. The 25-year-old actor stars on the series, based on Carola Lovering's 2018 novel of the same name, as Stephen's (Jackson White) ex-girlfriend Diana, who finds herself stuck in the middle of his tumultuous relationship with Lucy (Grace Van Patten). Crowder was destined for Diana but reveals to Popsugar that she could have taken on a much different role in the series. In fact, she auditioned for two other characters before becoming the overachieving college student. "I actually auditioned for Bree [played by Catherine Missal] and Pippa [Sonia Mena] first.

She was enjoying a successful if gruelling film and TV career when serious illness struck. But Forsyth has channelled that experience into a bleakly beautiful avant-garde album
Yorkshire is the backdrop to many disquieting works of art, such as David Peace’s Red Riding Quartet, Bram Stoker’s Dracula and the Brontës’ explorations of the soul. The newest is Debris, an album made by a 40-year-old actor with a familiar, pale-eyed, haunting face, whom we have seen in recent years playing a sex worker in Sally Wainwright’s Happy Valley and heroin addicts in The Casual Vacancy and Waterloo Road.
Keeley Forsyth’s debut as a musician is an avant-garde proposition, however: a shivery descendent of Scott Walker’s Tilt, a more unsettling older sister of Aldous Harding’s Designer. Forsyth’s voice marries Peggy Lee’s bluesy vibrato with Nico’s thunderous terror, and delivers lyrics that invert nature,...

Aldous Harding roams the lush New Zealand hills in the fantastical new video for “Zoo Eyes.” The track is the third single from her new album, Designer, released earlier this spring.
Directed by Martin Sagadin, the video features Harding singing the surreal lyrics — “I drove my inner child to a show/It talked all the way home” — against a cloudy backdrop. She assumes different roles in the clip, appearing in a clown-like suit and as a lurid monster that resembles Death from Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal. “It’s...

New Zealand folk singer Aldous Harding made her TV debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday night, performing her new song “The Barrel” from latest album Designer.
Wearing a flowing red dress and wide-brimmed hat, Harding took on the bard role with gusto, playing with mischievous glances toward the camera. With lyrics like “I’m not getting wet/Looks like a date is set/Show the ferret to the egg/I’m not gettin’ led along,” Harding seemed to enjoy being slightly inscrutable to her audience, making...

Vampire Weekend, Father of the Bride
Father of the Bride (which is out this Friday) is so zealously detailed and meticulously contoured that you easily sink into its inventions: the whirl of country picking, surf-guitar twang and classical interlude in “Harmony Hall”; the loopy hip-hop of “Sunflower” with its creeping-vocal riff; the Soweto-like bounce and AutoTuned-Beach Boys-style chorale in “Flower Moon.” But this is ear candy loaded with trouble. Frustration, helplessness and romantic crisis come just like the songs, in grenade-like bursts, as Koenig delivers bad news like the “wicked...

Aldous Harding uses oddness as both lure and armor. You can see it in her performances, which suggest a neurodiverse lexicon of emotions in her facial tics and physicality. And you can hear it in the language of Designer, her quizzically beautiful third LP, where she pivots artfully from folk eccentric to pop eccentric.

New Zealand singer-songwriter Aldous Harding delivers a mesmerizing performance against the unreal backdrop of the Cliffs of Dover in England in the new video for “Fixture Picture.”
Co-directed by Harding and Jack Whiteley, the clip opens with a long, slow zoom on the musician as she sits in a field, dressed in red, hunched over a guitar. The sprawling shot sets the tone for the rest of the video, which recalls the enigmatic work of Alejandro Jodorowsky as Harding and her band move through the rest of the airy folk...
