Recorded at one blistering London live show in April 2024, Libertine collaborated with Chilean guitarist Eva Leblanc, reimagining tracks from Libertine's back catalogue including ones from her time singing with 1970s anarcho-punk pioneers Crass. Produced by Crass founder Penny Rimbaud, it treads a path between performance art, experimental music and earth ritual; with her strident operatic tones, Libertine sounds like a soothsayer foretelling an apocalypse.

MC50 - the touring band featuring late MC5 member Wayne Kramer alongside members of Soundgarden, Faith No More, Fugazi, and others - have announced a new live album titled 10 More, set for release December 5th. The recordings were captured during a 2018 tour celebrating the 50th anniversary of the legendary proto-punk band MC5, on which Kramer was joined by Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Brendan Canty (Fugazi), Billy Gould (Faith No More), Matt Cameron (Soundgarden, ex-Pearl Jam), and Marcus Durant (Zen Guerrilla).

The album was recorded throughout select dates on Gilmour's 2024 tour in support of his most recent studio LP, Luck and Strange. Not only does it contain performances of tunes from that album, it also features a few songs from his 2015 effort, Rattle That Lock, as well as a number of Pink Floyd classics, including "Wish You Were Here" and "Comfortably Numb."
