Dungen’s first new album in seven years, En Är För Mycket och Tusen Aldrig Nog, is out on Friday. The Swedish psych band has shared three tracks from it already — “Nattens sista strimma ljus, “
Stream Boston Hardcore Band Firewalker’s Fearsome Demo 2022
Anytime a hardcore band goes a few years without touring or releasing anything, I generally assume that the band quietly broke up. Anytime one of those bands suddenly rumbles back to life, it’s a great little surprise. That’s what’s just happened with Firewalker, a Boston band that plays a feverish, elemental version of hardcore punk. […]
Circuit des Yeux & Claire Rousay – “Sculpting The Exodus (Rework)”
Just a couple of weeks after releasing the surprise album wouldn’t have to hurt, ambient musician Claire Rousay has announced another EP, Sunset Poem. It’s a collaborative project with Circuit des Yeux (Haley Fohr); the two artists rework three songs from Circuit des Yeux’s -io, which came out last fall. The full EP will be […]
Autre Ne Veut – “Okay”
It’s been seven years since we’ve heard from Arthur Ashin, the electronic producer who puts out music as Autre Ne Veut. Today, he’s shared “Okay,” his first song since 2015’s Age Of Transparency. “‘Okay’ is about acquiescing, it’s about being patient, it’s about accepting that on the other side of a long journey may be more work, […]
Junior Boys – “Waiting Game”
At the end of the month, the Canadian electronic pop duo Junior Boys are releasing their first new album in six years, Waiting Game. They shared “Night Walk” back when they announced it, and today they’re back with another song, the serene and slow title track. “Resolutions ruin art,” Jeremy Greenspan said in a statement. […]
Anxious – “Sunsign”
Back in January, the fast-rising Connecticut emo band Anxious released their full-length debut Little Green House. The members of Anxious came from the hardcore underground, and they still play a lot of hardcore shows, but their music is bright and sweet and energetic. At times, it pushes into power-pop or pop-punk, or at least into […]
Japanese Breakfast – “The Story” (Brandi Carlile Cover)
“The Story,” the title track from Brandi Carlile’s 2007 sophomore album, is the definitive Brandi Carlile song — the grand and towering anthem that continues to define her form of raw, emotive balladry. Plenty of people have covered “The Story” over the past 15 years, and one of those people is literally Dolly Parton. Today, […]
Midwife – “Sickworld”
Midwife is Madeline Johnston, the Denver musician who makes a dreamy, gauzy, cathartic form of music that she calls heaven metal. Last year, Midwife released a gorgeous album called Luminol, which featured what must be the prettiest Offspring cover of all time. Since then, Johnston has collaborated with Drowse, Kathryn Mohr, and her former tourmates […]
Oso Oso – “De Facto”
Earlier this year, Jade Lilitri’s emo-pop project Oso Oso released the surprise album Sore Thumb, which essentially served as Lilitri’s tribute to his late cousin and bandmate Tavish Maloney. Lilitri and Maloney recorded the songs together just before Maloney died, and the record takes on an eerie, tragic weight as a result. But Oso Oso […]
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – “Iron Lung”
Over the course of this month, the unreasonably prolific Australian psych-rock beasties King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are going to release three brand-new albums. The first of those albums is called Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava, and it’s coming later this week. That album, like the others, was built around a specific […]
