Angel Olsen recently announced the release of Whole New Mess, the original, stripped-down version of the album that eventually became last year’s ambitious All Mirrors. In addition to nine songs familiar from All Mirrors, Whole New Mess also features two new tracks. We’ve already heard one, the title track, and now Olsen is sharing the […]
Hear An Unearthed Stooges Cover From '90s Punk Supergroup Wylde Ratttz
For Todd Haynes’ 1998 sorta David Bowie biopic Velvet Goldmine, a group of musicians who called themselves Wyld Ratttz recorded some songs for the movie, including a cover of the Stooges’ “T.V. Eye,” which was included on its official soundtrack. The group was made up of the Stooges own Ron Asheton, Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore […]
Carly Rae Jepsen – "Me And The Boys In The Band"
Carly Rae Jepsen has released a new single called “Me And The Boys In The Band.” A couple months ago, Jepsen teased the possibility of a quarantine album, though it’s unclear if this is from that or just a one-off recorded in lockdown. Either way, it’s attached to a music video that was shot in […]
Aminé – “Hello” (Feat. Empire Of The Sun’s Luke Steele)
A little more than a week ago, the Portland rapper Aminé followed up his smart, playful 2017 debut Good For You with his long-awaited sophomore LP Limbo. The new album has a lot going for it, including collaborations with people like Young Thug (on the single “Compensating“), slowthai, J.I.D, Injury Reserve, and Summer Walker. But […]
Metz – “Hail Taxi”
Metz, Toronto’s greatest bone-crunching noise-rock power trio, will release their new album Atlas Vending this fall. Last month, the band announced the new LP, and they dropped its first single “A Boat To Drown In,” a surging and ambitious song that sprawls over nearly eight minutes and approaches actual beauty from time to time. Today, […]
Lisel – "Die Trying"
Last month, Pavo Pavo’s Eliza Bagg released one half of a new double single, “Night And Day,” through her pop project Lisel. Both songs were produced with Woods’ Jarvis Taveniere — mirroring a similar collaboration she did with Angel Olsen associate Ben Babbitt earlier this year — and today we’re getting the single’s other side, […]
Open Mike Eagle – "Bucciariati" (Feat. Kari Faux)
Open Mike Eagle has announced a new album, Anime, Trauma And Divorce. It’s the rapper’s first full-length album since 2017’s Brick Body Kids Still Day Dream, though he’s kept plenty busy since then. “Before the world went to shit I was already in the middle of a few personal crisis’. Shit had gone haywire personally […]
Tomberlin – "Wasted"
A couple years ago, Artist To Watch Tomberlin released her debut album, the magnificent At Weddings. She’s spent much of the last year on tour, at least when that was a thing you could still do, and now she’s ready to follow-up At Weddings with an EP called Projections in a couple of months. The […]
Moor Mother – "Forever Industries"
Moor Mother is on quite a prolific streak. Last October, she released her latest album, Analog Fluids Of Sonic Black Holes. Since then, she’s released not one but two more collections, Who Sent You? with Irreversible Entanglements and True Opera with Mental Jewelry. Along the way, she also guested on a great new Armand Hammer […]
Father John Misty – "To S." & "To R."
A little over two years ago, Josh Tillman released his latest Father John Misty album, the great God’s Favorite Customer. His fourth in six years, it seemed to mark a new reckoning at the same time that it provided a denouement to the arc sketched through his career and music thus far. Perhaps fittingly, he’s […]
