Review: Heartwork – Three Alley Cats and The Impossible Sky

Heartwork - Three Alley Cats and The Impossible Sky
Adam Grundy

Goodbyes are always hard. Whether it’s breaking up with someone who you once thought was “the one”, or just saying goodbye to a friend you know you won’t see for quite some time, that feeling of the unknown of what comes next can be crippling. Heartwork have released their final album today called Three Alley Cats & The Impossible Sky that marks a proper send-off for the genre-blurring project of Dan O’Dell. O’Dell shared, “The main thing was to say everything I needed. Heartwork has been a huge part of my life, but it’s time to put it to bed and move on—after a well-earned break.” Three Alley Cats & The Impossible Sky marks an important last step in Heartwork’s artistic growth, and he says goodbye with grace on a record filled with plenty of twists and turns, and nods to the height of our scene during the early 00’s.

Today is a great day to share the new single from garage punk rock band, N.E. Vains, called “6 For 36.” In this electric-charged song, N.E. Vains quickly showcase why they’re turning heads in the crowded rock scene. Vocalist Tyler Boutilier shared about the origins of the single: “In Canada, First Nation Reserves are allowed to sell weed through their own non-government stores. Purchased during a particular trip to Cape Breton Nova Scotia (six packs for $36), the evening didn’t particularly end well for me.” If you’re enjoying the early listen, please consider pre-ordering N.E. Vains new LP, Running Down Pylons, that will be released on November 7th, here.

Jack Antonoff x Hayley Williams Interview

Jason Tate

Hayley Williams and Jack Antonoff interviewed each other at Rolling Stone:

Antonoff: The album gave me this feeling which I’ve been having about music. In this hellscape of only marketing, marketing, marketing, it’s become very clear what matters and what doesn’t. [The album] made me feel happy.

Williams: That’s so sick. Thank you. We got to experience this coming from the scenes that we came from, and the kind of music that really kick-started us. It’s so communal, and you’re always being fed by and feeding back into the community. When the world feels the way it does, I find myself wanting to plug back into what’s local. I’m wanting to go to smaller shows. I’m wanting to feel like I can see the blood and the bone.
