Killer Mike has released a new track, “Run,” his first new solo track since R.A.P. Music came out a decade ago. The song was produced by No I.D. and features a guest verse from Young Thug, who is currently still in jail after being denied bond on RICO charges. “Run” comes with a music video […]
Quinton Brock – “My Shadow”
In recent months, the Buffalo-based artist Quinton Brock has gotten our attention with a homespun, hybridized form of indie rock. Singles like “To The Moon,” “Touch,” and “There For You” show a musician who’s always pushing in a bunch of different directions at once. Today, Brock has announced that his full-length debut is coming out […]
Stream Options’ Fun And Fascinating New Indie Rock Album Swimming Feeling
Swimming Feeling, the new album from Chicago recording engineer Seth Engel’s band Options, is out today. As heard on lead single “Toast,” the project presents an interesting blend of rock subgenres. I hear some power-pop in there, a bit of mathy emo, a smidge of fuzzed-out DIY crunch that reminds me of Ovlov and early […]
Jay Som’s Old Backing Band Fime Made A Fine Debut Album
If you know one thing about the Los Angeles rock band Fime, it’s that they used to be Jay Som’s backing band. Technically they’ve been around since 2015; Jay Som’s Melina Duterte recorded and produced their 2019 EP Sprawl. But when Jay Som’s European tour was cancelled due to COVID, they had a bunch of […]
Joey Bada$$ – “Where I Belong”
Brooklyn boom-bap revivalist Joey Bada$$ is only 27, but he’s been in the game for well over a decade; his breakthrough mixtape 1999 celebrated its 10th anniversary last month. Last month is also when Joey was supposed to release his new album 2000, his first since 2017’s All-Amerikkkan Badass. Because of sample-clearance issues, Joey had […]
Stream Richmond Hardcore Band Downfall’s Supremely Mean Debut Album Behind The Curtain
I’ve seen the Richmond hardcore band Downfall play a medium-sized club and a small living room, and I feel comfortable saying that they crush in pretty much every situation. Downfall’s whole style is choppy, heavy down-the-middle hardcore. They aren’t trying to put any new kind of spin on the ball; they’re just trying to throw […]
Calvin Harris – “New Money” (Feat. 21 Savage)
EDM superstar Calvin Harris likes to party, and he also likes to facilitate other people’s partying. Back in 2017, Harris released his super-summery party-jam collection Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1, which was full of collaborations with big-name stars. Harris recently announced plans to follow that album with Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2, a new LP […]
Birthday Boy Sufjan Stevens Releases Alternate Versions Of “Fourth Of July”
Today is Sufjan Stevens’ birthday. You wouldn’t know it to look at the foxy motherfucker, But Stevens is now 47 years old. Naturally, then Stevens is celebrating his big day by releasing a couple of alternate versions of what might be his most devastatingly, gut-rippingly sad song. What a treat! Stevens included “Fourth Of July” […]
Hear Neil Young & Crazy Horse’s Previously Unreleased “Timberline” From Shelved Album Toast
Neil Young has never been shy about expressing dark, heavy, fucked-up emotions through music; that’s how we get an album as messy and harrowing as On The Beach. But occasionally, even Neil Young apparently sometimes comes up with something too depressing to release. Young has recently been releasing a lot of the music that he’s […]
City Girls – “Good Love” (Feat. Usher)
Proudly nasty Miami rap duo City Girls have been in the news a whole lot lately, but it’s been less for their music and more for City Girl Yung Miami’s relationship with Diddy. Hopefully, that’s all about to change. Today, City Girls follow their 2021 tracks “Twerkulator” and “Scared” with “Good Love,” a new single […]
