A Requiem For The Datpiff Era
For hip-hop fans, the mixtape download service Datpiff was a necessity as much as a tool.

Sigur Rós Announce 41-Piece Orchestra Tour, New Album In June
Do you realize Sigur Rós haven’t released a new album in 10 years? Valtari and Kveikur arrived 13 months apart in 2012 and 2013, and since then it’s been EPs, soundtracks, and other projects that should not be categorized as Official Sigur Rós Albums.

HÆLOS – “Hear Me”
The British quartet HÆLOS dropped their last record, the ambient EP Somnum, in 2021. Over the past few months, the band has followed that record with a handful of standalone singles, all of which have the exact same cover art. Presumably, they’re ramping up to a new release, though they haven’t announced anything yet. Today, […]
Belinda Carlisle Releases First New Pop Song In Over 25 Years
Late last year, we found out that Belinda Carlisle was working on her first new pop release in over two decades, which came about after her son ran into Oscar-nominated songwriter Diane Warren in a Starbucks and she forced him to call her and said: “Bitch, what are you doing? I have some hits for […]
