The final unreleased Led Zeppelin recording has been released from the vault

Led Zeppelin have emptied out their vaults over the last few years as a part of an expansive archival campaign, which has included the reissuing of the band’s nine albums and B-sides. The Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame band will re-release their popular BBC Sessions in a new box set.

The collection even features a lost 1969 session which includes the only performance of a song named, “Sunshine Woman.” Guitarist Jimmy Page spoke to Mojo and said the song “was basically made up on the spot. It was pretty brave, bearing in mind the circumstances. We played it as if we were in rehearsals, starting it around the riff and then working it out. It shows that we were evolving pretty quickly.”
The Complete BBC Sessions makes it the  first time “Sunshine Woman” has been commercially released and, according to the Guardian, is “likely the best recording you will ever find of what might be the last previously unheard complete Zeppelin song to get an official release.”

Listen to “Sunshine Woman” below via Draven Crichton, and The Complete BBC Sessions will be in stores next month.

Porches release Water EP, shares new “Black Dress” video featuring Dev Hynes

Porches have released Water, a new EP that is the follow-up to this year’s Pool. It is comprised of stripped-down versions of songs from Pool, the “melodic skeleton,” as the press release puts it, as well as a few of unreleased songs. Stream it here. They also released a video for “Black Dress,” which stars Blood Orange’s Dev Hynes dancing in a studio with a few performers Watch that below.

Porches’ Aaron Maine released a statement about the album:

I spent the first year after releasing Slow Dance In The Cosmos teaching myself how to record music. I ended up with a bunch of pretty realized demos for songs that ended up on Pool during that process. It was a loose and explorative time for me. I wanted to release a select few of these “demos” because I always find the excitement captured by recording a song when you first write it to be almost impossible to recreate later down the line. I chose to rerecord all of the songs that were to be on ‘Pool’ because I felt like by the time I had a batch of songs that I felt would make an album, I had grown as a producer and wanted to give them another pass. Either way, it’s fun to listen back to these earlier versions of the songs and remember how they first existed.
