I have gotten a plethora of cool press releases flooding my inbox recently that you may find interesting. This post includes blurbs on Frank Sinatra, Haerts, Glass Animals, myah, and Katie Schecter.
- UMe, in conjunction with Frank Sinatra Enterprises, announces a new exclusive double-vinyl collection from Frank Sinatra, featuring his historic collaborations with Count Basie and Duke Ellington, entitled The Giants Of Jazz, out September 26, 2025. This special release includes a pair of timeless albums—It Might As Well Be Swing with Count Basie and His Orchestra and Francis A. & Edward K. with Duke Ellington—newly remastered from the archival recordings. The package includes a new gatefold jacket design that incorporates rare photographs as well as the original artwork. It is now available for pre-order HERE via the Official Store.
- Today, indie duo Haerts release “The Lie,” the second single from their upcoming album Laguna Road, alongside an evocative new video directed by longtime collaborator Julian Klincewicz (Beyoncé, Virgil Abloh, Tame Impala, etc.). Watch here. “The Lie” is an ode to bandmates and life partners Nini Fabi and Benny Gebert’s youth — a memory of young love — its freedom, its weight, and its strange wisdom. “It’s about the dreams and the pain that brought us together,” says Fabi, “the same forces that at times tore us apart.” Klincewicz’s video strips the visual down to raw emotion.
- Glass Animals unveil their latest track “Vampire Bat”, the fifth instalment in their Fresh Fruit Series—listen HERE. Fresh Fruit is a space for Dave Bayley and the band to experiment, bringing in guests and collaborators and allowing Dave (who produces all of the Glass Animals’ records) to play with new sounds. Previous Fresh Fruit releases includ “Lose Control” with Joey Bada$$, the much-missed “Gold Lime”, “Tokyo Drifting” with Denzel Curry, and “I Don’t Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance)” with Albert Hammond Jr.. “Vampire Bat” is a collaboration between Dave and producer Rob Bisel [SZA].
- LA via South Florida myah isn’t just another indie musician — she’s the producing force behind music videos for major artists, like The Marias -- “Un Millon”, “All I Really Want Is You”, song of the summer “Mood” by 24k Goldn, Kehlani’s “Little Story”, Steve Aoki’s Ultimate & “Invitame a Un Cafe”, Tinashe’s “X”, Oliver Tree’s break-up anthem “Cowboys Don’t Cry”, and more. Now, she’s stepping in front of the camera with a voice that’s just as big as the visuals she’s produced, winning a Telly Award in 2025 for her music video, “the lobby”. Originally from South Florida, myah’s sound is a blend of alternative rock, pop, and pop-punk melodies with midwest emo inspired guitar riffs. Influenced by bands like Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Foxing, and Modest Mouse, her love for alternative music solidified her decision to make music of a similar caliber, while still incorporating those familiar pop beats. Storytelling is a huge part of her music identity, writing lyrics that tap into her own life experiences with hints of nostalgia. Myah’s songwriting meshes soft pop female familiarity with emo angst and vulnerability. STREAM/WATCH"glitter," WATCH "dodging bullets," WATCH "hurricane," WATCH "now or never," WATCH "notice you".
- Nashville’s Katie Schecter announces her new album Empress will be released on October 17. Recorded live to tape at New York City’s legendary Diamond Mine Studio while she was pregnant with her daughter, Schecter feels transcendent in her femininity, knowing she is safe to cherish her imperfections. Holding life within her while creating this album, she knew this body of work is also a gift that will be left behind as part of her personal archeology — Pre-save / pre-order. Along with the announcement of her album, Schecter today releases the new single “Run River Run.” Slinky, sultry and driving with few glances to the rearview mirror, she exists in her own class of cinematic sophistication, straddling the lines of rock, soul and pop — Stream.
