For many years, Caribou mastermind Dan Snaith has been making straight-up dance music under his alter-ego Daphni. 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. He shared its title track at the time, and today he’s back with a second single, the groovy and squirming “No Kiss For The Lonely.” Talking about the […]
Jessie Buckley & Bernard Butler – “For All Our Days That Tear The Heart”
Next month, the team of Jessie Buckley and Bernard Butler will release their album For All Our Days That Tear The Heart. Buckley is an Oscar-nominated movie star, and if you’ve seen Wild Rose, then you already know she can sing. Butler was the guitar wizard in Suede when that band made their first two […]
Nine Of Swords – “JOAN”
Every two weeks, the Philly hardcore band Nine Of Swords have been releasing a new song from their upcoming album BEYOND THE SWORDS, first “WITH HELP” and then “THE PAVEMENT.” It’s been two weeks since that last one, and the album drops two weeks from today, so it only makes sense that a third advance […]
Stream Cave In’s Masterfully Intense New Album Heavy Pendulum
It’s been 24 years since Cave In released their debut album, the massively influential metalcore monster Until Your Heart Stops. Since then, Cave In have gone through all sorts of different sounds, and they’ve gone through long periods of quiet, but they’ve never fully gone away. Today, Cave In have released a new album called […]
070 Shake – “Body” (Feat. Christine And The Queens)
It’s been a few years since the difficult-to-categorize New Jersey rapper and singer 070 Shake made a memorable guest appearance on Kanye West’s “Ghost Town” and promptly got famous. Next month, Shake will release her album You Can’t Kill Me, and she’s already shared lead single “Web.” Today, Shake has also shared a new song […]
Erica Dawn Lyle & Vice Cooler – “Debt Collector” (Feat. Kim Gordon)
On a forthcoming benefit album, two musicians who have played with legendary punk bands have called in some help from their peers. Erica Dawn Lyle joined Bikini Kill for that band’s reunion. Vice Cooler was in the noise band XBXRX; he’s produced for Peaches and Ladytron and played live drums for the Raincoats. Lyle and […]
Quavo & Takeoff – “Hotel Lobby”
I guess we’re about to see how Migos function as a two-man operation. Offset (and his wife Cardi B) have unfollowed Quavo and Takeoff on social media, and the latter two just released a single together, albeit not under the Migos name. Quavo is Takeoff’s uncle, so some of the promotion surrounding their new track […]
Stream Sunami’s Bloodthirsty New Release 2022 Promotional Tape
Nobody in hardcore makes goon music more primal and insane than San Jose marauders Sunami. Sunami’s whole deal is that they push tough-guy beatdown music way past its logical extreme, taking it into the realm of joyous cartoon violence. With that style, Sunami have become full-on cult heroes over the past few years. The band […]
