Since his last venture as Four Tet (2020’s Parallel and Sixteen Oceans), Kieran Hebden, aka the UK veteran electronic-music connoisseur, did an emoji-laden, year-long livestream. Some of that material in the livestream was formally released on Christmas Day 2020 across both Parallel and 871, the latter of which came out under Hebden’s 00110100 01010100 moniker. […]

Last month, Australian-born, LA-based Artist To Watch Hazel English announced that a new EP, Summer Nights, was set to arrive June 17.

Diana Ross – “Turn Up The Sunshine” (Feat. Tame Impala)
Last week, posters in London teased a mysterious new product that would feature a whole lot of big-name artists, and people immediately figured out that the product in question would be the soundtrack for the forthcoming film Minions: The Rise Of Gru. Jack Antonoff produced and curated the Minions soundtrack, which mostly consists of present-day […]

Toronto indie-rockers Kiwi Jr. have announced their third album, Chopper, out August 12 via Sub Pop.

Alanis Morissette Announces Meditation Album Cowritten With Darkside’s Dave Harrington
Alanis Morissette is about to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Jagged Little Pill on tour, but her career path has now led her about as far as possible from the righteous rage of breakthrough single “You Oughta Know” — and not just because she recently cut an orchestral version of that song. Next month Morissette […]
