UK quartet Savages share a new single from their highly-anticipated sophomore release, Adore Life, out January 22nd via Matador. The album was recorded in London with producer Johnny Hostile and engineer Richard Woodcraft, and mixed in Copenhagen with Trentemøller. The video for the track "The Answer" was directed by Giorgio Testi at Pulse. In a press release, the band say, "We've observed our audience all around the world and noticed that something is happening. People want to be pushed to do good, or to be good, or just to feel good. We wanted a very intense video, that felt like banging your head against the wall, focusing on our audience: a portrait of our crowd, an homage to music lovers and the good people who are coming to gigs and shouting their lungs out, or just smiling at the back. We were touched by them every night, and wanted to get their message out there: loud guitar music is still alive and still connects people." Get connected below: [Under the Radar]

Brooklyn-based Oneohtrix Point Never (aka producer/composer Daniel Lopatin) returns with a new album next month titled Garden of Delete. Lopatin told Rolling Stone the release was recorded in a windowless room, adding "I had this dungeon reality and it was also kind of like I was uninhibited, like I would just get into the zone, work for like 17 hours."
