The singer-songwriter dropped the song in early April, more than four months ahead of the record's Aug. 20 release date. Maybe We Never Die will be the Grammy-nominated East's fifth studio album and his third under Elektra/, a label within Warner Music Group that was founded by in 2015. In conjunction with the release of the new single, East also dropped an official music video for "Madelyn," and began promoting merch featuring the album title. Linked to East’s Facebook page is a clever promotion for the single: a Facebook business page for a “science, technology and engineering company” that produces the memory recall device featured in the song's music video. The website for the company, MDLYN Corp, takes fans to a countdown for the release of the album. East began working on Maybe We Never Die before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, then used the year that some would say we lost to create an album that he describes as “a piece of music that, as a whole, knew where its footing was but yet still attempted to see what was behind the curtains" (quote via Rolling Stone). If "Madelyn" is an indication of what's to come, fans can expect East's new album to be another iter- ation of the country and soul blend for which he's known.” - The Boot, 5/7/21 American Songwriter and Rolling Stone talk about Lawrence Rothman’s “Sunny Place” “There ain’t no saving grace for shady people, snarls Lawrence Rothman over smoke rings in their new song. Devilishly witchy, the Son Little-featuring “Sunny Place for Shady People” (co- written with Justin Raisen and MNDR) shakes loose Rothman’s anxieties and worries through last summer, particularly in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election. Identifying as nonbi- nary (they/them pronouns), their fears were certainly warranted, and then-living in their home state of Missouri to record music, it was smack dab in the middle of a red state. Last summer “had me in a tailspin,” Rothman says in a press statement. “The area I was in was full-on Trump country. It felt as if the country was in for a demolition, and I felt extremely nervous that Trump could win a second term. I sat at the piano to write a slow track to purge myself from the barrage of the delusional shady world of megalomaniac Donald Trump.” The track initially sprouted in Johnny Cash fashion, a bit of a “hymn song” but “quickly mor- phed in tempo and anger. I was dumbfounded at the spell he had casted on America and how at that time it felt his influence was a threat to the future of our country. I hoped there were enough of us to take him out office and his kind.” The accompanying visual, created by Matt Hixon and Shea Fitzpatrick, further captures Roth- man’s mental anguish through overexposed imagery and bursts of color. Darkness in the blind / One by one take out their kind, they sing. This ain’t no sunny place for shady people / I left it all behind / The righteous know they’re evil / There ain’t no saving grace for shady people. “Sunny Place for Shady People” follows “Thrash the West” (featuring Amanda Shires on harmony) and will not appear on Rothman’s forthcoming record, Good Morning, America, out July 16 on KRO Records. The record (co-produced by Raisen and Yves Rothman) also features contributions from Girlpool, Lucinda Williams, Mary Lattimore, Pino Palladino, Katie Pruitt and Caroline Rose.” - American Songwriter, 4/30/21

“Lawrence Rothman whips up a seething garage-rock song in “Sunny Place for Shady People” with help from the Philadelphia blues musician Son Little. Inspired by the nightmare miasma of Donald Trump’s leadership — and particularly of being a gender-fluid person through that stretch of time — “Sunny Place for Shady People” sets the stage with reverb-drenched electric guitars and eerie, wordless harmonies. feel almost too fast, a tambourine-assisted go-go rhythm speeding toward the cliff, which, come to think of it, is actually a pretty sharp metaphor for the period still looming in the rearview. Rothman mines the swaggering purr of Billy Idol with their verse, vowing an “eye for eye” and that “all poison bones each have a home.” Son Little takes it up an octave, swearing that he’s “gonna take it all with no regret.” The references to the Trump administration are a little obscure here, but both singers evoke an unsettling hunger for justice or vengeance or, as may be the case, eradication. “One by one take out their kind,” they sing together, giving way to a slippery, acid-fried guitar solo in the middle. “Sunny Place for Shady People” is one of those odd songs that feels considerably longer than it is, despite (or perhaps because of) the breakneck, frenzied energy of it. Credit Rothman’s dynamic , which twists and turns without ever being allowed to linger in one place for long. It ends just shy of the three-minute mark, but it’ll leave you gasping for breath, like running a marathon through the desert in a leather jacket.” - Rolling Stone, 5/4/21 MXDWN has the low down on the new album from Los Lobos “American rock band Los Lobos will return with a new cover album titled Native Sons on July 30 via New West Records. The record is promised to be a 13-track love letter to the band’s home city of Los Angeles, and follows 2019’s Llego Navidad, their previous full length offering. The group looks to channel other fa- mous and storied Los Angeles based acts, names like Thee Midniters, Jackson Browne, Little Feat, the Beach Boys and Buffalo Springfield, among others. Native Sons will be available across digital platforms, compact disc, and standard black vinyl. A Coke Bot- tle Clear Vinyl Edition limited to 4,000 copies worldwide will be available at Independent Record Stores while a Brown Vinyl Edition limited to 1,000 copies is available for pre-order today via New West Records. In addition to the album’s announcement, Variety premiered the first taste of what’s to come with new Los Lobos reinterpretations of “Love Special Delivery,” originally by Thee Midniters, and the Beach Boys classic “Sailor On Sailor.” Of “Love Special Delivery,” Los Lobos’ David Hidalgo said in a press statement, “We grew up on Thee Midniters and felt like they were representing us, so their music means a lot.” The song is pegged down as Native Sons opening tune. As for “Sailor on Sailor,” Steve Berlin said via a press statement that it “seemed like it would be easy, but once we broke the eggshell it revealed itself to be a lot more complex. The genius of so many of these records is all the layers that meld together in a way that isn’t very obvious at first.” Over the last five decades, the East L.A.-bred Los Lobos has made an indelible mark on music history by exploring an enormous diver- sity of genres—rock-and-roll and R&B, surf music and soul, mariachi and música norteña, punk rock and country—and building a boldly unpredictable sound all their own. The band went on to garner international stardom in 1987 when their interpretation of Ritchie Valens’ “La Bamba” topped the charts stateside and abroad.” - MXDWN, 5/9/21 Going for adds May 24: Quinn Sullivan “All Around The World,” Aly & AJ “Pretty Places” RIGHT ARM RESOURCE WEEKLY UPDATE - 5/12/2021
