Robert Finley debuted his music video for "Holy Wine," from his new album, Goin' Platinum!, via Relix. "This as close to gospel as you are going to get," Finley says. "The song tells the story of generations, especially the video, with the baby into young manhood. It’s like three generations in one video. Hopefully it fills a generational gap, that’s what the intention was, to try to bring the old and young together." Watch the video, directed by Gus Black, here.

Tigran Hamasyan has shared the music video for "Leninagone," a song from his album An Ancient Observer.

"I come from the generation of children whose lives were directly affected by this tragic event," says Hamasyan. "The video portrays the struggle and the hope of all the generations that lived through this apocalyptic time."

Robert Plant spoke with PBS NewsHour's Jeffrey Brown about his new album, Carry Fire, and more. "Weaving—the musical weave in the beginning, the groove and the kind of—the essence of the music that surrounds the songs, but just being able to get to a place where the music is paramount, it’s discrete, slightly exotic," Plant says of the musical journey that led to the new album. Asked about its sounds and influences, he continues: "They just come from a fortunate life traveling and keeping very good company. I was always gathering more and more fuel. I was buying cassettes in the marketplaces and listening to variations on themes, and just such an amazing encyclopedia of music I developed slowly."

In a new video, Rostam deconstructs his song "Gwan," a track on his debut album, Half-Light, that references the traditional tunes "Suo Gân" and "Simple Gifts." "I think there's something worthy about striving to make the most complex music that you can but still use melodies," he says; "and maybe using melodies that people know makes it more interesting, because then you can kind of track the evolution of stuff." Watch how he made the song in the video here. Rostam performs at The Growlers Six festival in LA this Saturday and starts a European tour at the Pitchfork Avant-Garde Festival in Paris November 1.
