WILMA, AN HOMAGE TO THE LOST SOUNDS OF 1970s ITALIAN CINEMA OUT OCTOBER 9
FIRST STUNNING SINGLE “TO SOME DEGREE” ft. MICHAEL KIWANUKA OUT NOW
Acclaimed Italian composer Daniele Luppi’s love for – and devotion to – vintage Italian films and their music scores comes to life on his new album Wilma, a golden-hued collection of compositions with vocal contributions from the incomparable Mercury Prize-winning Michael Kiwanuka and critics’ darling Orion Sun. Enrobed in a warm analog production and embellished by Luppi’s contemporary instrumentation, subtle effects and blending, Wilma combines timeless arrangements with modern flourishes, ultimately creating a transportive cinematic soundscape.
It was like a dream come true when a synchronistic opportunity dropped into Luppi’s lap: unprecedented access to a vintage library of thousands of already-recorded compositions originally put together by some of Italy’s top session players of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s — the Italian equivalent of The Wrecking Crew. Daniele had a brilliant revelation: What if he could find some forgotten, unpolished jewels in this vast repository of largely never-used music score goodness, then supply embellishments, editing them all together, mixing them into timeless songs that could speak to all eras?
In this case, for Wilma – the first volume of what will be Luppi’s unique, experimental trilogy – there are cues and tracks culled from a myriad assortment of 1970s scores from obscure Italian feature films, commercials, short subjects, documentaries and industrial films, a few of which were partially utilized at the time and many more rescued from cold storage, where they’d awaited the right simpatico fit with some filmmaker’s project or marketing director’s TV commercial.
Daniele explains, “As far as my role? The closest I can relate to is a film documentarian. There are many parallels as I was working with existing footage which are the vintage tracks. And I am adding new faces, which are my singers, plus writing a script which are my lyrics. Then I do some editing and ‘color correction,’ which is the audio work I’ve done, the synths (for the gearheads: exclusively a 1984 Yamaha DX7 with stock presets) and live drums overdub I played, then the mixing (done only with a Lexicon PCM70) etc. The difference, though, is – unlike a documentarian – I created a totally new original story with the found material.”
The announcement of Wilma is accompanied by the release of the yearning spaghetti western inspired track, “To Some Degree ft. Michael Kiwanuka.” The inviting slow burn is Kiwanuka at his best, delivering lyrics that lay his heart open wide with haunting clarity. Listen HERE.
On working with Michael Kiwanuka Daniele reflects, “I was drawn to Michael Kiwanuka’s profound sense of humanity. It’s there in every lyric he sings and every performance he gives. His artistic perspective and the way he communicates it are incredibly rare.”
That “sense of humanity” is integral to the overarching theme of Wilma, namely the universal love saga we all dream about, that we hope and pray for — though the album also delves deep into the idiosyncrasies of ‘modern love.’
To bring Wilma to fruition, Daniele enlisted the truly unique talents of Kiwanuka and Orion Sun, who split time singing on the album and contributed to the songwriting. The songs also feature lyrical contributions from Daniele’s trusted poetic confidant, GRAMMY Award-winning Zimbabwean-American singer, songwriter and producer, Shungudzo (Jessie Ware, Angelique Kidjo). Daniele’s unconventional approach to casting the album’s vocalists was rooted in something closer to voice casting for film than a traditional feature selection. The decision wasn’t based solely on vocal timbre, but also on each artist’s body of work— the themes they explore in their songwriting and the emotional character of their performances throughout their catalogs.
The album’s striking cover art is a reproduction of a publicity still of the actress Edith Scob (Eyes Without A Face) taken by avant-garde Spanish photographer Antonio Gálvez on the set of legendary surrealist master Luis Bunuel’s 1969 satire on religious dogma, The Milky Way.
The complete tracklist for Wilma is:
Blame Games ft. Michael Kiwanuka
Thoughts & Words ft. Orion Sun
Reverie #1
Fallin’ Dreams ft. Michael Kiwanuka
So Low ft. Orion Sun
Reverie #2
To Some Degree ft. Michael Kiwanuka
Anxiety ft. Orion Sun
Reverie #3
You Could Be The Sun, I Could Be The Moon ft. Orion Sun, Michael Kiwanuka
“Thank You is refreshingly inventive… To have the aim and drive to create something this new and far afield deserves applause… He’s Mike D and he gets respect.”— ASSOCIATED PRESS
Following months of anticipation punctuated by multiple critically acclaimed single releases and incendiary live shows “embodied with the punk energy that led to his band’s early breakthrough” (ROLLING STONE), Thank You, the eagerly awaited debut album from Mike D 5D, is released today, August 28, via Capitol Records.
Featuring “Make It Stop,” the arrival of Thank You has been advanced by “Crypto”—“a searing, lo-fi blast of analog synthesizer noise and smashed industrial beats” (THE NEW YORK TIMES), the “genre-defying banger” (GLIDE) “Switch Up,” “the classic, bombastic, boisterously energetic” (OKAYPLAYER) “What We Got,” and the “buzzy, pensive, breakbeat-powered wall of acid rock” (RELIX) that is “True Colors.” The album is comprised of 13 servings of sonically inventive post-electronic grooves and hypnotic hooks that find Mike D’s unmistakable voice leading the listener through an aural playground that defies categorization.
Additionally, the Mike D 5D touring band — featuring Mike’s sons Skyler and Davis Diamond, Eddie Ruscha, Will Graefe and Milo Ruscha — will return to North American stages with a sold out show at August 30 at Boston’s Royale — just two days after Thank You’s release — kicking off an itinerary featuring sold out stops in Santa Cruz CA, Washington DC and Asheville NC, headline dates from Los Angeles, Chicago and New York to the Pacific Northwest, Canada and beyond, an appearance at the Portola Music Festival in San Francisco and many more.

GHOST has announced the release of the 2 BIG TO RIG Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, the audio companion to the second feature film from the GRAMMY-winning theatrical rock icons. Available to stream or download August 27 via Loma Vista Recordings, 2 BIG TO RIG (ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK) is preceded by a carnally charged live rendition of “Umbra” featuring Papa V Perpetua and the nameless ghouls delivering the cowbell-driven penultimate track of the international #1 album SKELETÁ to ecstatic capacity crowds in Mexico City.
Listen to “Umbra (Live from Mexico City 2025)” HERE and watch the video HERE.
Captured live over the course of two sold-out shows at Mexico City’s Palacio de los Deportes that drew nearly 40,000 fans to partake in the GHOST live ritual, 2 BIG TO RIG is a reference to GHOST calling an end to its unforgettable SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR in February 2026. The film was made with the intention to share the SKELETOUR experience with the faithful in the territories where staging the show was not logistically feasible — as well as for the fans featured in the film who had tickets for the first of three planned Mexico City dates, which became two after night one was canceled due to illness.
2 BIG TO RIG is a love letter to all those who have shared the GHOST ritual, in-person or otherwise. Presented in IMAX® where available, the feature-length concert film is both a must for those looking to relive their SKELETOUR memories and for those witnessing the spectacle for the first time. The charismatic Papa V and his supremely talented coven of nameless ghouls have never looked or sounded better than they do here, ripping through material from GHOST’s six albums — including 2025’s global #1 SKELETÁ — including live renditions of hits “Satanized” and “Lachryma” — as well as non-LP favorites including “Mary On A Cross,” “Kiss the Go-Goat,” and “The Future is a Foreign Land.”
2 BIG TO RIG will be released in cinemas and IMAX® worldwide, beginning Wednesday, August 26, for a limited time only. For updates on screenings, showtimes, and to sign up for further information, go to 2BigToRig.com.
The complete 19-song 2 BIG TO RIG (ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK) track listing is as follows:
01 Peacefield (Live from Mexico City 2025) 02 Lachryma (Live from Mexico City 2025) 03 Spirit (Live from Mexico City 2025) 04 Majesty (Live from Mexico City 2025) 05 Future is a Foreign Land (Live from Mexico City 2025 06 Devil Church (Live from Mexico City 2025) 07 Cirice (Live from Mexico City 2025) 08 Satanized (Live from Mexico City 2025) 09 Satan Prayer (Live from Mexico City 2025) 10 Umbra (Live from Mexico City 2025) 11 Year Zero (Live from Mexico City 2025) 12 He Is (Live from Mexico City 2025) 13 Rats (Live from Mexico City 2025) 14 Kiss the Go-Goat (Live from Mexico City 2025) 15 Mummy Dust (Live from Mexico City 2025) 16 Monstrance Clock (Live from Mexico City 2025) 17 Mary on a Cross (Live from Mexico City 2025) 18 Dance Macabre (Live from Mexico City 2025) 19 Square Hammer (Live from Mexico City 2025)

About GHOST Following a decade of achievements including a GRAMMY Award, an American Music Award, an iHeart Radio Award, a string of RIAA-certified gold and platinum singles, and a box office record-breaking feature film, 2025 would prove to be GHOST’s busiest, most ambitious and outright biggest year to date. The #1 debut on the Billboard 200 of SKELETÁ (the first hard rock act to top the US charts in four years), the sixth album from the Swedish theatrical rock icons, and the 10-million-plus YouTube views for its insidiously melodic singles “Lachryma” and “Satanized” heralded the next phase of an inevitable path to world domination. More than 550,000 faithful acolytes have witnessed the otherworldly spectacle of the band’s SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR — including a sold-out first-ever headline date at Madison Square Garden at which THE NEW YORK TIMES reported “A sense of devotion was palpable among fans. Showgoers streamed out of Penn Station dressed in Ghost-themed costumes, including skeletal face paint, papal robes and nun habits.” Throughout SKELETOUR, GHOST would bring career-spanning setlists to life in suitably grandiose style, with the newly anti-christened Papa V Perpetua presiding over a phantasmagoric new production further elevating the live rituals that propelled the band’s debut feature film RITE HERE RITE NOW to become the highest grossing hard rock cinema event in North American history. From longtime devoted disciples to the curious uninitiated, all are continuously welcomed to find communion, salvation and escape in the ever-expanding world of GHOST.

BECK RIDE LONESOME NEW ALBUM OUT SEPTEMBER 18 “DISAPPEARING ACT” NEW SONG OUT NOW
North American Tour Begins September 16th
Photo Credit: Mikai Karl
Beck brings a ray of early evening sunshine into our worlds with “Disappearing Act,” an enthralling new song from his hotly anticipated new album, Ride Lonesome.
Featuring a mesmerizing sonic palette crafted by Beck as producer with Nigel Godrich mixing, “Disappearing Act” rides an ethereal wave acoustic guitar and orchestration, topped by sublime and entrancing vocal melodies.
A work of almost subliminal beauty, “Disappearing Act” is the third advance offering from Ride Lonesome, the long-awaited first collection of all-new Beck material since the GRAMMY-winning Hyperspace.
“Disappearing Act” is preceded by Pitchfork Selects choice “In The Night,” and first single “Ride Lonesome,” which NPR deemed “as moving and beautifully produced as any of his most beloved work.” Early critical reactions have been euphoric, with MOJO describing the album as “a stunning display of the alchemy of turning pain into sheer beauty… Strong from start to finish” in a 5-star lead review, and UNCUT asserting the record “weaves a spell… feels deeply true; a rare glimpse into Beck’s inner life.”
Ride Lonesome owes a measure of its brand new yet warmly familiar atmosphere to the contributions of musicians with whom Beck recorded Sea Change, Morning Phase and Mutations — Smokey Hormel, Joey Waronker, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Roger Joseph Manning Jr., and Jason Falkner— reunited at Room B at United Studios in Hollywood. Godrich, who had worked on Sea Change and Mutations, returned to mix the album. In the decade or so since 2015 GRAMMY Album of the Year winner Morning Phase was recorded, Beck and the band observed a noticeable evolution and deepening of their performance and chemistry, honed by decades of working together. He recalls, “While we were revisiting a musical and physical place, it also felt like we were finding new sounds and emotional textures along the way.”

The internationally bestselling oral history returns in paperback with a candid new conversation between Paul McCartney and Oscar-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville.
The paperback edition includes additional material in the form of a conversation between Paul McCartney and Academy Award-winning director Morgan Neville
“Suddenly Wings has found its moment. We have a generational shift at work, and it’s like being transported back on a magic carpet. Working on the book has awakened so many beautiful memories of our times back then.” – Paul McCartney, from the foreword of WINGS: The Story of a Band on the Run
One of music’s greatest adventures told by a cast of incredible characters who were there, including: Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, Denny Laine, Mary McCartney, Stella McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, George Martin, Sean Ono Lennon, Chrissie Hynde, Dustin Hoffman, Twiggy and all the members of Wings – Denny Seiwell, Henry McCullough, Jimmy McCulloch, Geoff Britton, Joe English, Steve Holley and Laurence Juber
This remarkable cast tells the story of a band who made history – selling over 22 million albums and becoming the first band to achieve sales of over two million in the UK singles charts with Mull of Kintyre. A band who pushed the boundaries in both the studio and in live performances, from their first university tour through to pioneering large scale concerts, long before stadiums and arenas were commonly used for rock shows.
The book includes a foreword written by Paul McCartney and is compiled from over 42 hours of recent and historical interviews from Paul’s personal archive. WINGS: The Story of a Band on the Run features over 150 photographs capturing Wings throughout the years – many previously unseen – and shot by an array of photographers including Linda McCartney, Mike McCartney, Clive Arrowsmith, Henry Diltz, Robert Ellis and Paul himself. The book also includes memorabilia, including some of Paul’s diary page entries from the time and handwritten lyrics.
The new paperback includes a candid conversation between Paul and director Morgan Neville, recorded around the launch of Neville’s highly acclaimed documentary Paul McCartney: Man on the Run, released earlier this year.
