About halfway into Tomorrow’s Fire, the third album Ella Williams has recorded as Squirrel Flower, the Chicago indie-rock artist sings about leaving quietly out the back of a party, disappearing without saying goodbye to anyone. “I’ve had my fun, I’m done,” she tell us on “Almost Pulled Away,” over a steady drumbeat and a dizzying, crunchy riff. She’s just told someone that they might’ve been the first person she’s ever loved, a treacherous confession that should leave her resigned and vulnerable. Yet Williams’ delivery feels impenetrably grounded.

Ella Williams has readied Tomorrows’s Fire, her latest album as Squirrel Flower. The LP arrives October 13th via Polyvinyl, and along with the news, Squirrel Flower has announced a lengthy new run of international tour dates and shared two songs from the project.
Williams self-produced Tomorrows’s Fire alongside engineer Alex Farrar. Inspired by the likes of Jason Molina, Tom Waits, and Bruce Springsteen, the artist describes the record as more of a rock album than any of her folksy previous releases. To achieve its heavier feel, she enlisted Matt McCaughan (Bon Iver), Seth Kauffman (Angel Olsen band), Jake Lenderman, and Dave Hartley (The War on Drugs) to comprise her studio band. Pre-orders for the project are ongoing.
Grungy single “Full Time Job” finds Squirrel Flower trying to balance life’s necessities — namely, working to survive — with the search for actual happiness. “Doing my best is a full time...

The War on Drugs have released a new song, “Living Proof,” from their upcoming album, I Don’t Live Here Anymore, out October 29th via Atlantic Records.
“Living Proof” finds War on Drugs frontman Adam Granduciel singing sweetly over a swift acoustic strum. Piano, atmospheric synths, and spare percussion help build the song, but there’s not so much an explosion at the song’s peak as an exhale into a tender guitar solo.

One of the bright spots this past film year was the success of Disney’s Frozen. On the strength of it’s more modern princesses and an infectious score, the film set box office records and has garnered two Oscar nominations, Animated Feature and Best Original Song for “Let It Go”, its infectious hit. In honor of Frozen’s nomination, we figured it was time to take a look at the history of animated movies in Original Song.
The history of animated films picking up nominations and wins in Best Original Song is a tale as old as time (see what I did there?). Since the 1930s, animated films have won this award 13 times and over 50 nominations, which you can see below. This is an even greater feat when you think about the consideration that animated films get when lists of musicals are made (they...
