At the beginning of next year, Boy Harsher are releasing The Runner (Original Soundtrack), the duo’s next album that also serves as a score for a short horror film that they made.

Cults – “Beach Ball”
Few indie bands represented the early ’10s like Cults, aka Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion. Their debut self-titled album and its ’60s girl group-inspired lead single “Go Outside” basically defined an entire New York City aesthetic, one that definitely involved American Apparel T-shirts and shows at Union Pool. Anyway, today Cults have shared a previously […]

Cloakroom – “A Force At Play”
Cloakroom, key players in the heavy music to shoegaze pipeline, will return next year with their first album since 2017. It sounds like it’s quite the high-concept project. A press release describes Dissolution Wave as “a space western in which an act of theoretical physics — the dissolution wave — wipes out all of humanity’s […]
