At the end of this week, Cola, the band that rose from the ashes of Ought, are releasing their debut album, Deep In View. We’ve heard a good chunk of singles from it already — “Blank Curtain,” “So Excited,” “Water Table,” and “Degree” — and today we’re getting one more, the itchy and impressionistic “Fulton […]
Plague Skater’s New psep EP Is A Compact Lo-Fi Tour De Force
New Jersey lo-fi rockers Plague Skater’s Plague Skater II was one of my favorite albums of last year. Today the self-professed “scuzz pop” act is back with another efficiently titled project, an EP called psep. Will Schwester continues to handle mostly everything where Plague Skater is concerned; in this case that means “vocals, guitar, bass, […]
Ty Segall – “Saturday Pt. 2”
Ty Segall released Harmonizer, his last proper album, less than a year ago. A few months ago, Segall also released his soundtrack to the documentary Whirlybird. But Segall’s not about to take a vacation or anything. Instead, later this summer, Segall will follow those two records with the new LP Hello, Hi. We already posted […]

Hamilton Leithauser And Paul Maroon’s Dear God Is Streaming For The First Time
In the wake of the Walkmen, the band’s individual members started churning out music. For example, former frontman Hamilton Leithauser stormed right out the gates with 2014’s Black Hours, and then followed that with his 2016 album-length collab with Rostam, I Had A Dream That You Were Mine. But in between, there was also the […]
Sam Gendel Made A Whole Album With His Girlfriend’s 11-Year-Old Sister
Sam Gendel, the eclectically minded Los Angeles jazz saxophonist and producer, just announced a sprawling new album called SUPERSTORE, but that’s not stopping him from releasing an entirely different album today. The latter project is called LIVE A LITTLE, and Gendel created it mostly in one sitting with Antonia Cytrynowicz, the 11-year-old sister of Gendel’s […]
Jessie Buckley & Bernard Butler – “Seven Red Rose Tattoos”
Jessie Buckley, the buzzy young actress you might have seen in movies like I’m Thinking of Ending Things or The Lost Daughter, is also a singer.

Primitive Man – “Quiet” (Smashing Pumpkins Cover)
The Smashing Pumpkins are busy these days. Earlier this week, they announced plans for a massive arena tour with Jane’s Addiction. Last night, the band was on James Corden, and Billy Corgan talked about the plans for a new record that Billy Corgan described as “a 33-song triple-album concept.” But the coolest Pumpkins-related thing that […]
