2025-02-08 | Simon McBride: Ordinary World
Simon McBride, one of the most celebrated guitarists to emerge in recent years, announces the release of his new album, Recordings 2020–2025, out March 14 on earMUSIC.
The first single, a fascinating take on Duran Duran’s 1992 hit track, “Ordinary World”, is available now for streaming and download. “This is such a beautiful song,” Simon McBride shares about the single.
“I wanted to try a different feel on it. Like with any version of a song, it’s important to me to be creative but also pay respect to the original.”

2025-02-07 | Danse Macabre: De Luxe Bonus LP
RELEASE DATE: 2025-04-12
LABEL : BMG
FORMAT: LP
DANSE MACABRE: DE LUXE - Bonus LP contains 7 songs previously only available on vinyl via the expansive DANSE MACABRE: DE LUXE box set. Now, those 7 tracks are available on a standalone LP for the first time – and
what better way to celebrate than with a special zoetrope keeping in the theme of the instant-classic Halloween-themed DANSE MACABRE?
3 of these tracks have been released digitally, on CD, and in the box set: an instrumental called “Masque of the Pink Death,” a cover of ELO’s “Evil Woman,” and “New Moon (Dark Phase)” featuring former Duran Duran member
Andy Taylor (which is a reimagined cover of their classic song “New Moon On Monday” from their album Seven and The Ragged Tiger). The other 4 tracks are vinyl exclusives, now available on a standalone LP for the first
time: “Spooky” (a cover of the Classics IV song performed by The Brides of Duracula), “Instructions for a Séance” (a spoken-word track from Nick Rhodes), and “The Visitor” and “Dialogues of
the Dead” (two original instrumentals). This is a can’t-miss piece for Duran Duran fans and completists as well as Halloween enthusiasts.
