Björk has announced a new single called "The Gate" that will be released digitally on September 18 and via a limited edition single-sided 12" vinyl released on September 22. She announced the new album last month, which will reportedly be co-produced with her Vulnicura co-producer Arca. It will also include visuals from past collaborator Andrew Thomas Huang. She's called the new album her "Tinder album" saying, “It’s about that search (for utopia) – and about being in love. Spending time with a person you enjoy on every level is obviously utopia, you know? I mean, it’s real. It’s when the dream becomes real.” [ NME ]

The score for the well-received film Good Time was done by experimental producer Oneohtrix Point Never (aka Daniel Lopatin) and includes a collaboration with Iggy Pop called "The Pure And The Damned." The official music video for the song has been released and is a companion piece to the film it comes from. Directed by the Safdie Brothers and starring Robert Pattinson and Benny Safdie as their characters from the movie, the clip doesn't recycle any footage from Good Time but features the two in a cabin in the woods, as well as a CGI Iggy Pop and a puppet wolf. The Good Time soundtrack is out now via Warp and the film is playing in theatres near you. [ Under the Radar ]
