Two of Stereogum’s Bands To Watch from recent years, the San Jose emo band awakebutstillinbed and the Columbus screamo unit For Your Health, are teaming up for a split EP called hymns for the scorned. It’s dropping next month, but today one song from each act is out there for your consumption. I recommend consuming […]
Irreal – “Desorden,” “Prensa Maldita,” & “Era Electrónica”
Here’s something confusing: Irreal, the punk band from Barcelona, has nothing to do with Canal Irreal, the punk band from Chicago led by Martin Sorrondeguy of Los Crudos and Limp Wrist. Both bands make punk rock and sing in Spanish — “Irreal” is Spanish for “unreal” — but the Barcelona Irreal sound a whole lot […]
Woodii Creates An EDM Dream “In My Sleep”
Expect the unexpected from the talented artist who calls himself Woodii—the rising EDM star drops “In My Sleep” with tens of thousands of streams and counting. As an art piece, “In My Sleep” immediately draws the listener in, and whether you are a fan of dance music or not so much, you are guaranteed to […]
Goon – “Angelnumber 1210”
It’s been less than a month since Goon released their 24-hours-only benefit covers EP. Now the LA indie band is back with news of a proper new album called Hour Of Green Evening coming this summer. Alex Fischel of Spoon plays piano and keyboards on it. If I’m reading the bio right, it seems to […]
Carlos Truly – “Vessel”
Carlos Hernandez (of Ava Luna) is releasing a new album as Carlos Truly, Not Mine, at the beginning of July. He’s shared two tracks — “108th” and “New Growth” — from it so far, and today he’s back with a third, the brief but enveloping “Vessel,” which is co-produced by Nick Hakim. “Spoiler alert, our […]
Pool Kids – “That’s Physics, Baby”
Back in 2018, the Tallahassee band Pool Kids released a very promising debut with Music To Practice Safe Sex To. Today, they’re announcing their self-titled sophomore album, which was produced in Seattle by Mike Vernon Davis, who was also behind the boards for similarly expansive emo albums like Great Grandpa’s Four Of Arrows and Special […]
Gold Panda – “I’ve Felt Better (Than I Do Now)”
It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Derwin Schlecker, the playful British dance producer known as Gold Panda. Three years ago, Schlecker released “Transactional Relationship,” the last Gold Panda single. It’s also been three years since he released Jag Trax, the album that he recorded under his DJ Jenifa alter-ego. The last Gold Panda […]
Rico Nasty – “Intrusive”
Rico Nasty has been sporadically dropping singles over the past year — most recently was “Vaderz” last month, and then the Flo Milli-featuring “Money” a few months before that. Today, she’s back with another new track, the distortion-heavy “Intrusive.” “This song tells the story of intrusive thoughts with some industrial elements,” Rico Nasty said in […]
Shearwater – “Laguna Seca”
A couple months ago, Jonathan Melburg announced the first new Shearwater album in six years, The Great Awakening. So far, we’ve heard a couple songs from it, including “Xenarthran” and “Aqaba.” The album’s out in a couple weeks, but first Meiburg is back with another new track. The latest preview of The Great Awakening is […]
Suede – “She Still Leads Me On”
Suede (or, as they’re still technically called on this side of the pond, the London Suede) have announced Autofiction, their ninth studio album and first since 2018’s The Blue Hour. The band’s longtime producer Ed Buller is back this time around, after sitting out for the last album, and they recorded it at Konk studios […]
