While in Austin for SXSW this past spring, Pom Pom Squad’s Mia Berrin linked up with Song Confessional, a project that collects anonymous confessions from people and partners with musicians to turn those details of someone else’s life into songs. Those songs are recorded in a mobile recording studio by producers Walker Lukens and Jim […]
Palette Knife – “Jelly Boi” & “Damn Son, Dim Sum”
The Columbus emo band Palette Knife have announced their sophomore LP, and the first couple singles are sounding strong. New Game+ is loosely based around the tropes of 16-bit video games, with interludes like “Death Screen” and “Pause Screen” sprinkled throughout the tracklist. In substance, though, the album seems to hone in on that timeless […]
Jamila Woods – “Boundaries”
Chicago singer/poet Jamila Woods has been relatively quiet since sharing her standout 2020 single “SULA (Paperback)” (and its rework, “SULA (Hardcover)”), which followed her 2019 album LEGACY! LEGACY!. Since “SULA (Paperback),” Woods has done a guest spot on Peter CottonTale’s 2021 collab “WYD (You Got Me).” Now, Woods is back, and she’s got a new […]
Bicep – “Water” (Feat. Clara La San)
Bicep have released “Water,” their first brand-new song since they put out their debut album Isles back in 2020. Since then, they’ve offered up some additional deluxe edition tracks and various reworks, and “Water” isn’t entirely new, either, at least not to anyone who has seen the UK production duo’s live show. It features vocals […]

Wiki & Subjxct 5 – “The Fonz”
A couple weeks back, New York City fixture Wiki announced Cold Cuts, a new collaborative mixtape with the New Jersey producer Subjxct 5. It comes out on October 21, and we’ve only heard “My Life” from it so far. But today, the pair is back with another track, “The Fonz,” a hard-hitting insular one that […]
Liturgy – “93696” & As The Blood Of God Bursts The Veins Of Time EP
The conceptually dense metal project Liturgy, which is spearheaded by Ravenna Hunt-Hendrix, has announced a new album called 93696, which will be out in March. Today, they’re sharing that album’s title track, a 15-minute sprawl of harsh and roiling noise. They’re also putting out an EP today called As The Blood Of God Bursts The […]

Eric Burton, the Texas producer who puts out music under the name Rabit, is releasing his first new full-length album in four years, What Dreams May Come, in November.
