Half Waif's [new album The Caretaker]( falls into both of those categories. We are long on record as big fans of Half Waif, and her new album is yet another one worth hearing. Please [click this link]( to stream and purchase it from the service of your choice in support of independent media and one of our favorite newer artists. And check out our Half Waif review in today's edition of [Notable Releases](. Here's an excerpt: "It’s a massive-sounding art pop album that recalls anything from Kate Bush to Kid A, and it’s bursting at the seams with big hooks and limitless ambition. Her synth-fueled music can often sound as fleshed out as a many-membered orchestra, but Half Waif remains a true solo auteur. She’s as good a producer as she is a singer/songwriter, and going by [The Caretaker]( it sounds like she’s only getting better at all of it." Also notably released today: Waxahatchee's [Saint Cloud]( Nicolas Jaar's [Cenizas]( Childish Gambino's [3.15.20]( The Suicide Machine's [Revolution Spring]( Vanessa Carlton's [Love is an Art]( Wake's [Devouring Ruin]( Activity's [Unmask Whoever]( FACS' [Void Moments]( Deeper's [Auto-Pain]( Las Kellies' [Suck This Tangerine]( Euros Childs' [Gingerbread House Explosion]( With concerts, tours and festivals all either cancelled or postponed for now, many musicians have turned to livestreaming instead these past few weeks. Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard has been doing a set [every single night]( he's covered [The Decemberists]( [Frightened Rabbit]( [Phoebe Bridgers, The Shins, Elliott Smith and more]( and devoted a show exclusively to his [1997-2001 materia](. He also released a new benefit single, the aptly titled ["Life in Quarantine."]( Check out our constantly updated [DAILY LIVESTREAM ROUNDUPS]( for many more in real time. [Courtney Barnett (joined by Lucius, War on Drugs, Kurt Vile, Sharon Van Etten and others)]( [Waxahatchee and Kevin Morby]( [Jimmy Eat World]( [James Blake]( (who covered Radiohead), [Orville Peck]( covered Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton), and [Saves the Day]( are other highlights among the recent livestreams. Click their names for the archived video. We also made a list of [five great metal concert streams]( you can watch right now. They aren't quite livestreams, but Neil Young has a new series of "Fireside Sessions," and you can watch the [first]( [two](. We've also been posting [FIVE AMAZING LIVE VIDEOS]( to watch while everything is cancelled every day. Here's the [latest edition,]( featuring Fugazi, Tori Amos, Dinosaur Jr., and more. Check out the [archives]( for lots more, too, including [Bikini Kill, Sufjan Stevens]( [Tool, Arcade Fire, Jawbreaker]( [Pulp, Cave In, Nick Cave]( and many others. [Bob Dylan - "Murder Most Foul"]( Bob Dylan (not pictured) released his [first original song]( in eight years. Nine Inch Nails released [two new albums]( for free. While not many new tours have been announced lately, for obvious reasons, we've been keeping track of rescheduled dates and newly postponed and cancelled tours in our [daily Tour News posts](. We also listed [14 rare tours]( that hopefully get rescheduled, or don't get cancelled. Governors Ball is officially [cancelled]( for 2020, while Maryland Deathfest has [rescheduled dates and a lineup]( for next year. Lovers & Friends is also[postponed]( until later in the summer. We've been asking musicians what they're listening to while in isolation, and have playlists of their picks from [Crowbar's Kirk Windstein]( [American Football]( [Cold Cave's Wes Eisold]( [Anti-Flag's Chris #2]( [I Break Horses]( and [more](. PJ Harvey made a playlist called ["Petals Have Fallen."]( We hope everybody is staying safe, practicing social distancing, and being excellent to each other, and we wish a quick recovery to anybody diagnosed with COVID-19 including [Rammstein's Till Lindemann]( [Geto Boys co-founder Scarface]( and [Testament's Chuck Billy](.
