Though Margaret Glaspy wrote “My Body My Choice” two years ago, it is of course an unfortunately resonant time for her to release it now. After the Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade, Glaspy was, like many of us, appalled. She decided to finally release the song “My Body My Choice,” with a portion of […]
Wet Leg Agnostics Might Like Soulwax’s “Too Late Now” Remix, Which Does Not Sound Like Wet Leg
The massively popular and weirdly polarizing Band To Watch Wet Leg have released one album and claim to have finished a second, but until today they have never released a remix. That changes with Soulwax’s spin on their moodily propulsive album closer “Too Late Now,” which so completely reinvents the track that it hardly resembles […]
The Veldt’s “Check Out Your Mind” Cover Takes Curtis Mayfield Into The Realm Of Shoegaze
The Raleigh and NYC-based rock band the Veldt have been around since 1986. At the peak of the Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill area’s ascent to “next Seattle” status, they were championed by no less a shoegaze authority than Robin Guthrie, and they’re still coming up with fresh, fascinating ideas well into their fourth decade. […]
Homeboy Sandman – “Lovin’ It” (Prod. Aesop Rock)
“Lovin’ It” is not a cover of the McDonald’s jingle that Justin Timberlake once performed and Clipse may or may not have helped to write. “Lovin’ It” is an original bonus track from the new deluxe edition of Homeboy Sandman’s 2021 EP Anjelitu. As he informs us repeatedly, he’s outside the matrix and lovin’ it. […]
Lande Hekt – “Gay Space Cadets”
Muncie Girls leader Lande Hekt is back with a new solo album, House Without A View, the follow-up to her 2021 Album Of The Week-worthy debut Going To Hell. It doesn’t include “Romantic,” the one-off track that she put out a couple months ago, but there are 11 other new songs, including today’s lead single […]
No Age – “Andy Helping Andy”
Spaced-out Los Angeles art-punkers No Age are now in their 17th year as a band; the duo slid into veteran status so quietly that nobody even noticed. At this point, though, it feels safe to say that No Age are legends of the California DIY scene. They’re not slowing down, either. Two years after the […]
CHAI – “Hero Journey” (Feat. Superorganism)
CHAI released their latest album, Wink, just over a year ago. So far, they’ve spent 2022 popping back up with a steady stream of new tracks in one form or another. Back in January, they unveiled “Whole,” the theme song to a Japanese series called Koi-senu Futari. In March they joined Sondre Lerche on his […]
Alvvays – “Pharmacist”
In late June, semi-elusive indie-pop greats Alvvays teased some new music and announced a fall tour of the United States with openers Slow Pulp. Now, Alvvays have officially announced the long-awaited follow-up to 2017’s dreamy and delightful Antisocialites. Their third studio album is called Blue Rev and is out on Oct. 7 via Polyvinyl. Rejoice! […]
Fotocrime – “Chase The Tear” (Portishead Cover)
Fotocrime, the Louisville post-punk project spearheaded by former Coliseum frontman Ryan Patterson, are at work on Alcoves, a new EP of covers that’s coming out at the end of the month, and they’re dropping a different cover every week. Thus far, Fotocrime have taken on Leonard Cohen’s “Avalanche” and Government Issue’s “Jaded Eyes,” and that […]
Video: Key Glock “Diapers”
Guess who’s back? Key Glock heats up the summer with his new banger, “Diapers”. Over a trap production full of haunting organs, the Memphis rapper stunts to the max while confidently delivering his gritty and cocky bars. The purple-hued video finds the Paper Route Empire member amongst his crew with his lean filled to the […]
