This being an indie rock/Kanye/black metal blog, there hasn’t been much to report about Phil Collins in the eight years since hist last studio album Testify, a critical and commercial dud. I missed its subsequent “First Final Farewell Tour,” which I now regret, because back then he was still physically capable of drumming.

Hendrick Weber’s mini reacquainting-with-America tour wrapped in Los Angeles, and the city replied in similar fashion according to photographer Andrew Youssef. (Also according to AY: Pantha “mainly used an Akai APC 40 Ableton live controller to mix and tweak various loops and samples live.” Now you know.) The show was opened by New Order devotees Delphic, the Dangerbird signees first U.S. appearance after their intended debut at Coachella was washed out by all that volcanic ash.

“Looking Up” appears toward the close of Eels forthcoming Tomorrow Morning. The 14-song collection completes the trilogy that began with Hombre Lobo and End Times. As far as “Looking Up,” the track’s a soulful hand-clapper worthy it and the album’s dawn-of-a-new-day name.
