Floating Room – “Shimanchu”
Floating Room is the longstanding project of Portland’s Maya Stoner. For her new EP Shima — set for release this fall in conjunction with Floating Room’s tour alongside Citizen, Drug Church, and Glitterer — she worked closely with producer Mo Troper, whose own new music is very much worth a spin.

Palace – “Lover (Don’t Let Me Down)”
Not to be confused with the early Will Oldham projects that used permutations of the same name, the Palace we’re here to discuss today — the Palace that’s a going concern — is a band out of London making expansive, emotive alt-rock.

Grimes Shares New Song “LOVE” In Response To Online Hate
Grimes has been in the news a whole lot lately — for serving on the judging panel of the goofy singing-contest show Alter Ego, for repeatedly defending Elon Musk online, and for no longer being in a relationship with Elon Musk.

Empath – “Born 100 Times”
Empath, Best New Band honorees and creators of one of 2019’s best debuts in Active Listening: Night On Earth, are back with a new single. “Born 100 Times” picks right back up where they left off, noisy and gleeful and ramshackle on the surface while displaying some serious hook-work going on underneath. “Is this the […]
Eminem Serves Mom’s Spaghetti At Restaurant Opening, Shares Venom Song With Skylar Grey, Polo G, & Mozzy
Eminem really did it. He took a 19-year-old punchline about barfing on his sweater, and he turned it into a whole brick-and-mortar restaurant. In the past, Eminem has sold a product called Mom’s Spaghetti at pop-ups and given it away to frontline workers. Now, Mom’s Spaghetti is a permanent restaurant in Detroit. Yesterday, Mom’s Spaghetti […]
Oranssi Pazuzu – “Palava Puu”
Finnish black metal experimentalists Oranssi Pazuzu have shared a new song — or rather, a new eight-minute musical odyssey — as part of the Adult Swim Singles series. “Palava puu,” which translates to “The Burning Tree,” comes from the same recording sessions that birthed last year’s album Mestarin kynsi. “For us it ties together strongly […]
