New Zealand's own Fleetwood Mac are set to release a new song.
The Miltones, fronted by Milly Tabak, hark back to another age. The Auckland five-piece, who combine Americana country blues and soft rock, have been gaining attention lately, though Tabak, who has been likened to Stevie Nicks, and guitarist Liam Pratt have been playing together since their teenage years.
The pair are joined by three new band members: Guy Harrison on keys, Chris Marshall on bass and Tom Broome on drums.
Their song Wildfire, due for release on February 10 is pure late 70s/early 80s sweetness and well worth checking out.
They'll mark the release with a gig at Milly's, aka the Tabak Shack, on February 10, with support from Mount Maunganui's The Leers. More details here.
Theia recently supported Broods and Kings on their summer tour.
Anohni's Hopelessness was one of last year's standout albums. Now the English singer has a companion EP on the way.
Paradise will include new songs including material debuted live. The title track, which you can check out below, gives you a glimpse of what's in store.
Wild electronica, politically charged lyrics and Anohni's distinctive vocal style.
As the song's publicity notes, she voices "ecstatic alienation, describing a dystopian life filled with horror, awe, comfort and threat ... She expresses a sense of disembodiment."
The six-track EP will be released on March 17.
Canadian indie art-rockers Arcade Fire have a surprise new track featuring gospel and soul legend Mavis Staples.
Released the same weekend as Donald Trump's inauguration, I Give You Power follows their 2013 album Reflektor. A fifth studio album is due this year.
The band tweeted "It's never been more important that we stick together and take care of each other."
Artist proceeds from the track will go to the American Civil Liberties Union.
If you missed HEX supporting Dinosaur Jr in Auckland last week, you can catch the Wellington three-piece supporting Melbourne's Swim Team next month.
HEX will join Tidal Rave and Swim Team at Wellington's Valhalla on February 16, and they'll play alongside Swim Team, Cosmic Psychos, Bloodbags and The Beths at Auckland's Whammy Bar on February 17.
Swim Team will also play Tauranga's Woodcock 2017 on February 18, and Summer In The Square at Aotea Square on February 19.
Judging by his two latest singles, Ryan Adams' new album Prisoner, due next month, will be well worth the wait.
Adams, whose last album was a track-by-track cover of Taylor Swift's 1989, released the rocky Do You Still Love Me in December.
His just-released second single To Be Without You takes it down a notch, a thoughtful, steadily paced acoustic number about love and loss, regret, mourning and giving up. "I feel empty, I feel tired, I feel worn. Nothing really matters anymore," he sings.
The album has been a huge emotional investment for Adams. Last month he wrote: "Records should matter ... this was my way through total f****** darkness and things nobody can plan for."
