Shirley Collins – “Wondrous Love”

In 2016, the legendary British folk musician Shirley Collins re-emerged to release her first new album in 38 years, Lodestar. We won't have to wait nearly so long for the next one. Today, Collins has announced that she's putting out another new album later this summer, Heart's Ease, which was recorded in Brighton at Metway Studios. "Lodestar wasn’t too bad, was it? But when I listen to it, it does sometimes sound rather tentative," Collins said via a press release. "I had to record it at home because I was just too nervous to sing in front of somebody I didn’t know. This time I was far more relaxed — even though I went into a studio." The first song she's sharing from it is "Wondrous Love," her rendition of the 19th century hymn "What Wondrous Love Is This," whose melody is in turn based on the 18th century song "The Ballad Of William Kidd." Collins makes it sound both old and new, her voice steadfast against the slicing instrumentation. Collins said that she decided sing this now

Skullcrusher – “Day Of Show”

You probably expect an artist named Skullcrusher to sound a certain way. Skullcrusher does not sound that way. Instead, Skullcrusher is the project of LA-based singer-songwriter Helen Ballentine, who uses that extremely metal moniker to record delicate, lovely guitar music. We've already heard one song from her upcoming self-titled debut EP, "Places/Plans," and now she's shared another, "Day Of Show," which adds washes of ambient synth to the hazy mix. "I wrote ‘Day of Show’ on a hot day last summer in my roommate’s bedroom because mine didn’t have AC," Ballentine explains. “I felt dazed and restless from sitting around in the heat all day. It is a song about feeling trapped in yourself, unable to help yourself and reluctant to let others in. It explores the fragmented behavior and thoughts that arise from this feeling: a kind of daydreaming that can be really creative but also the darkness that also exists there. It’s musically inspired by a lot of the shoegaze music I listen to.”

Bad Moves – “Cape Henlopen”

Bad Moves are a punky indie-pop band from Washington, DC, and they released an extremely fun debut album called Tell No One a couple of years ago. This summer, they'll follow it up with the darker-but-still-fun new LP Untenable, which they recorded with Hop Along guitarist Joe Reinhart on board as producer. We've already posted the early single "Party With The Kids Who Want To Party With You" and "End Of Time." Today, they've dropped a third one. Today, they've shared "Cape Henlopen," a fast and catchy song about looking for a moment of transcendence on a Delaware beach. The riffs are big and sticky, and the chorus really finds liftoff. There's a music video that's entirely made up of still images; director Christopher Good shot it during quarantine. Check it out below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNGgLInpfww&feature=youtu.be In a press release, the band says: Can we see ourselves without seeing how we’re perceived by others?

COVID-19 survivors as young as 40 often face long, painful recoveries

"People think that, with COVID-19, 1 percent die and the rest just have flu," virologist Peter Piot, a giant of AIDS and Ebola research, tells The New York Times.

Piot, 71, should know: The coronavirus "hit me like a bus" in March, he said, and he's only now able to move about for more than 10 minutes at a time. Researchers are still learning about the new coronavirus, but some people fortunate enough to recover still face lung scarring, heart damage, persistent fatigue, blood clots, strokes, neurological problems, and other long-term damage. People in their 70s or older, like Piot, "are most likely to die from the virus, while younger people generally have a milder form of COVID," Renuka Rayasam writes at Politico.
