Public Image Ltd. (PiL) announce their 11th studio album and first album in 8 years, End of World. The band began writing and recording End of World in 2018, during their 40th anniversary tour. After The Great Pause, the band regrouped in the studio and Inchthere was just this massive explosion of ideas,Inch Lydon says. The result finds PiL set to 13 of the best tracks they have ever written. Earlier this year, PiL released Hawaii, the most personal piece of songwriting and accompanying artwork that John Lydon has ever shared. The song is a love letter to John's wife of nearly 5 decades, Nora, who is living with Alzheimer's. A pensive, personal yet universal love song that has resonated with many since it's in January, the song sees John reflecting on their lifetime well spent and in particular one of their happiest moments together in Hawaii. Celebrating their 40-year anniversary in 2018, the band is widely regarded as one of the most innovative and influential bands of all time. PiL's music and vision has earned them 5 UK Top 20 singles and 5 UK Top 20 albums. With a shifting line-up and unique sound - fusing rock, dance, folk, pop and dub - Lydon guided the band from their debut album First Issue in 1978 through to 1992's That What Is Not, before a 17 year hiatus. Lydon reactivated PiL in 2009, touring extensively worldwide and releasing two critically acclaimed albums This is PiL in 2012 followed by their 10th studio album What The World Needs Now... in 2015, which peaked at number 29 in the official UK album charts and picked up fantastic acclaim from both press and public.

Hua LI has often worked the fruitful tension between opposing forces, whether being mixed-race, bisexual, or overtly political and softly vulnerable. Now the Inchhalf-Chinese, half-militant, half-rapper of your heartInch is back with Inchripe fruit falls but not in your mouthInch, her most ambitious and personal record to date. Playing between hazy R&B, hip-hop, jazz and electronic, Hua Li's sophomore LP takes the imaginary garden as a proxy for cultivating home. With complex vocal arrangements, rich production by Alex Thibault (aka Gloze), and big, vibrant mixing by TNGHTs Lunice, ripe fruit is a private confessional on a loud-ass record. Following 2019s Dynasty and 2020s critically acclaimed Yellow Crane EP, Inchripe fruitInch is characteristically libertine. Textured and sensual, the Montreal multi-hyphenate balances her rich, waveforming tone with danceable, electronic signatures. The rapper is fierce and frequently funny, erupting from gauzy runs to deliver a quick uppercut that stings. With hooky, addictive features by Ambrose Getz and Darkus Millon, ripe fruit is an intimate record of healing, with Montreals nightlife at it's heart.An artful collaborator, Hua LI co-wrote and performed on Gayance's 2023 Polaris short-listed album, Masquerade, and is the touring DJ for Inuk electro-pop throat singer, Riit. Her charismatic stage show has taken her around the world, including tours with Cadence Weapon and Fat Tony (serving as the formers touring DJ), to Reykjaviks Secret Solstice Festival, the Montreal International Jazz Festival, and Pride Toronto.Luminous and compelling, Hua LI shows it takes tenderness to let things ripen, and guts to let things die. In-between is a kind of rapture that begs to be savoured. For Fans Of Gayance, Tirzah, FKA Twigs, Heems, Tkay Maidza1. Born the Shape2. In the Fall3. Part Time Muses4. Feed Me Petals (ft.
