Thurston Moore released a new song last weekend, a brooding, Stooges- ish piece of guitar music that he recorded on May Day 'barefoot in London', all kinds of ominous sounds, the recorded version of heavy skies. The words, written by poet Radieux Radio, do a similar job, making springtime in the Serpentine sound more like a threat than a walk in the park. It's at Bandcamp.
Thurston Moore released Pollination as a 7" single back in 2020 with a cover of New Order's Leave Me Alone on the B-side. It came with an eight page zine written by Radieux.

Had no idea that there had been a cover of 'Leave Me Alone'. Just went and found it on YT. Would never have guessed it was Thurston Moore if it had come to me cold, so to speak. Not too sure about it on first listen.....but then again I love the original and think it's nigh-on-impossible to improve on it.
