Last year, the Seattle band Deep Sea Diver released a new album, Impossible Weight, which featured a song with Sharon Van Etten. They’re currently out on tour and in advance of their New York City show tonight, the Jessica Dobson-led project has released a new cover of Alanis Morissette’s “Hand In My Pocket,” which features […]
Fat Tony – “Ain’t For Me”
Houston rapper Fat Tony has a long history of making sharp and thoughtful music, and he remains an underrated force. Last year, Tony released his narrative-heavy album Exotica. Today, while gearing up for a tour with recent Polaris Prize winner Cadence Weapon, Tony has followed that album with a new single called “Ain’t For Me.” […]
Gold Dust – “Run Into Clouds”
You will remember the name of… Gold Dust. The Massachusetts musician Stephen Pierce has made music as a member of bands like Ampere and Kindling. (His press photo might convince you that he’s also made music as a member of the Backstreet Boys, but no, that’s not AJ McLean. Different guy.) These days, Pierce also […]
Bartees Strange, Eric Slick, & Ohmme – “Province” (TV On The Radio Cover)

Converge & Chelsea Wolfe – “Blood Moon”
Way the hell back in 2016, Boston metal and hardcore legends Converge toured Europe and played the Roadburn Festival, and they added some extra members for the occasion. For the project known as Blood Moon, Converge teamed up with doom-folk singer-songwriter Chelsea Wolfe and Wolfe’s collaborator Ben Chisholm, as well as Cave-In/Mutoid Man leader Stephen […]
Death Valley Girls – “It’s All Really Kind Of Amazing”
Last year, Death Valley Girls, the psychedelic garage rock group from Los Angeles, released Under the Spell Of Joy, an album that veered all over the aesthetic map. That record sounded like what might happen if Stereolab and Thee Headcoatees went on a peyote voyage while listening to obscure ’70s funk together, and it ruled. […]
Martha Skye Murphy – “Stuck”
After a pair of EPs last year, Martha Skye Murphy has popped up a couple times this year — first guesting with Squid on their towering single “Narrator,” and then with her own haunting track “Found Out.” (Both those songs ranked amongst our favorites in their respective weeks.) Now, Murphy has returned to announce that […]
Bat Fangs – “Action”
Bat Fangs, the team-up between Ex Hex’s Betsy Wright and Flesh Wounds/Speed Stick’s Laura King, was one of our 2018 Best New Bands based on the strength of their debut album. A few weeks back, they announced its follow-up, Queen Of My World, with its title track, and today they’re back with the album’s second […]
Soccer Mommy x Kero Kero Bonito – “rom com 2021”
A couple months ago, Soccer Mommy shared a new glitched-out single “rom com 2004,” a BJ Burton co-production which landed on our best songs of the week list. Today, Kero Kero Bonito have hopped on a new version of the track that’s being released as the latest entry in Adult Swim’s singles series. The reimagining […]
