Last year, the awesomely misanthropic New Jersey hardcore greats Deadguy finally reunited, playing their first show in 24 years. The Deadguy reunion has continued, but their famously intense frontman Tim Singer also has other stuff going on. A couple of years ago, Singer got together with some other hardcore veterans to form Bitter Branches, a […]
Stream Rosalía’s Deluxe Motomami With Bonus Tracks
Back in March, Rosalía released her long-awaited new LP Motomami, and it’s easily one of the best albums of the year. (We put Motomami at #2 on our half-year list, and I honestly think we might’ve underrated it.) Motomami is a brief and compact record, but we’re getting a longer, more sprawling version of the […]
Soul Blind – “System (Failing)”
The shoegazey, hardcore-adjacent post-grunge revivalists Soul Blind are back with news of a new album.

Today’s single “System (Failing)” follows last month’s teaser track “Stuck In […]
Norah Jones – “Steer Your Way” (Leonard Cohen Cover)

Phosphorescent – “Storms” (Fleetwood Mac Cover)
Throughout this year, under his longstanding Phosphorescent alias, Matthew Houck has been posting covers to the internet. The latest is a run through “Storms” from Tusk, the experimental double album Fleetwood Mac released in 1979 after taking over the world with Rumours two years earlier. Houck maintains the loose, cosmic prettiness of the Stevie Nicks […]

Dolly Parton & Kelly Clarkson – “9 To 5”
Kelly Clarkson announced yesterday via an interview with Variety that she has recorded a new album, her first in five years. In the same interview, Clarkson confirmed that she would release a new version of “9 To 5” with its original singer, Dolly Parton. The reimagined “9 To 5” was created especially for the new […]
Pretty Sick – “Heaven”
In July, indie-grunge project Pretty Sick (the brainchild of Sabrina Fuentes) announced her debut album, Makes Me Sick Makes Me Smile. Fuentes has shared a couple of distortion-heavy tracks from the album already, including lead single “Human Condition” and “Black Tar.” Now, Fuentes (who is “London-based” but “New York-rooted”) has a third offering from the […]
