Dermer has previously directed Wavves' 2013 video for "That's On Me" and has directed videos for Blink-182 amongst others. Speaking about how the track came together with Travis, Williams shares:
"I had this song I had been sitting on, always revisited it and tried to record it a bunch of times but it was never just right. Eventually it was giving me PTSD. I was talking to Travis about doing some songs together and when I opened up the vault to him, this one jumped out so we laid it down and finally we got it right." (continue)

Omaha, Nebraska - the home of Warren Buffet, Malcolm X, JoJo Siwa, and Marlon Brando - and of course, Bright Eyes and Cursive. Today, those two icons of American indie rock have released "Recluse I Don't Have to Love," a mashup of their modern classic fan favorites "Lover I Don't Have To Love" and "The Recluse."
Many moons ago, Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst was hanging there with some of his Cursive comrades, messing around on the piano, playing a rendition of the 2002 licentious anthem "Lover I Don't Have To Love." Best bud Carly (spouse to Cursive's Matt Maginn) pointed out the musical hook and libertine similarities between that song's lyrics and "The Recluse" by her husband's band. For years it was an inside joke - "should we make a mashup, just for fun?" And now, on the eve of Bright Eyes' North American tour with Cursive, the Kash-up mashup dream has become a reality. And it weirdly works. Carly was right. (continue)

Fred Hostetler just released his new single 'Your Mind is on Vacation' from his forthcoming album "Blues Back Pages", and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about the track. Here is the story:
In the chaos that is 2025 I accidentally came across the blues song 'Your Mind is on Vacation' (and your mouth is working overtime) when it appeared out of nowhere on YouTube.
