Gucci Mane’s “Make Love” ended up taking a life of its own when Nicki Minaj’s verse contained just enough subliminal disses to lead to Remy Ma’s “shETHER.” By the time Nicki came back with “No Frauds,” Gucci felt like a satellite figure on his own song—a first in his post-prison prominence.
That disconnect is still present in the Eif Rivera-directed “Make Love” video that…
Post-rock four-piece Explosions in the Sky have returned with a video for the single “The Ecstatics” from last year’s The Wilderness. In the wake of the album’s release last March, the band set out on on some extensive touring, with dates at festivals like Glastonbury, Basilica SoundScape, and Sound on Sound.

Instead of “playing golf” or “making haggis” or whatever other stereotypical stuff, Scottish post-rock ensemble Mogwai have announced instead that they intend to “go on some huge world tour” later this year. Fine. (Come to think of it, they’re probably better at doing that anyway.) More
