A couple months ago, Jonathan Melburg announced the first new Shearwater album in six years, The Great Awakening. So far, we’ve heard a couple songs from it, including “Xenarthran” and “Aqaba.” The album’s out in a couple weeks, but first Meiburg is back with another new track.

Suede – “She Still Leads Me On”
Suede (or, as they’re still technically called on this side of the pond, the London Suede) have announced Autofiction, their ninth studio album and first since 2018’s The Blue Hour.

Candy – “Transcend To Wet”
Last month, Richmond hardcore crew Candy announced a new album, Heaven Is Here — their first for Relapse Records — and shared its lead single, the furious ripper “Human Condition Above Human Opinion.” The album’s next single, “Transcend To Wet,” is a bit different, boasting some pulverizing electronic bursts and visceral sonic goo.

In the past few years, Snaith has been putting his energy into the Caribou side of things; they released the album Suddenly in 2020 and the stand-alone single “You Can Do It” last year. But now Snaith has […]
Stream leroy’s Triumphantly Frenetic Mashup Album Dariacore 3... At least I think that’s what it’s called?
The New Jersey teenager known as Zeke turned a lot of heads last fall with Frailty, their debut album as dltzk (pronounced “Delete Zeke”). As dltzk, Zeke specializes in the hyperpop-adjacent emo-rap sound known as digicore. But they also make insane high-speed mashup mixes under the name leroy, and their latest such collection is out […]
Nightlands – “No Kiss For The Lonely”
Last month, the War On Drugs bassist Dave Hartley announced a new album as Nightlands, Moonshine, his first since 2017’s I Can Feel The Night Around Me.
