Rhye's Mike Milosh Shares New Song And Details New Album

Back in early 2013, a quiet-sounding record took many of us by storm. The album was called Woman by the band Rhye. There was a lot of mystery surrounding this soft-sounding bedroom record, particularly in singer Mike Milosh's seductive voice. Now Rhye's back with its first new album in five years, along with a new single. In this conversation with All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen, Mike Milosh shares a new song from the album, Blood, and reveals how the new music came together.

Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile: Tiny Desk Concert

This collaboration between Philadelphia's Kurt Vile and Melbourne's Courtney Barnett is more about newfound friends poking jabs, goofing around and having fun with words than reaching any new musical heights. It's a much welcome injection of humor in the world of rock music and if you've heard their collaborative album Lotta Sea Lice, you'll find this Tiny Desk performance musically even more casual. It's akin to hearing friends play after a few afternoon beers.
