Back in February, we heard the first new PinkPantheress appearance on record since last fall’s breakthrough mixtape To Hell With It when, along with Lil Uzi Vert and Shygirl, she appeared on Mura Masa’s “bbycakes.” Today PinkPantheress has her own new single out; once again it’s a superstar collaboration, and one again Mura Masa is […]
Liam Gallagher – “Better Days”
Over the past couple months, Liam Gallagher has been rolling out his new album C’mon You Know. So far, we’ve heard a couple songs from it, including “Everything’s ELectric” and its title track. Today, Gallagher’s back with another one. The latest single from C’mon You Know is “Better Days.” Gallagher co-wrote it with his usual […]
Craig Finn – “Birthdays”
The Hold Steady’s Craig Finn announced his latest solo album A Legacy Of Rentals last month with the release of the mournful, moving “Messing With The Settings.” Today he’s got another single from the album out, a more upbeat but equally thoughtful song called “Birthdays.” Against a loose, rousing, organ-laden rock ‘n’ roll backdrop flush […]
Neko Case – “Oh, Shadowless”
Earlier in the week, Neko Case announced a brand-new career retrospective called Wild Creatures featuring 22 tracks from across her discography and one new song, “Oh, Shadowless.” The digital-only album is out now, as is “Oh, Shadowless.” Case’s website has also been updated to display new, animated artwork (by Laura Plansker) for each track on […]
Editrix – “One Truck Gone”
Early last year, Editrix made their raucous debut with Tell Me I’m Bad. Today, the trio — which is made up of Wendy Eisenberg, Steve Cameron, and Josh Daniel — are announcing its follow-up, Editrix II: Editrix Goes To Hell, which is out in June. Lead single “One Truck Gone” is tightly coiled and tense, with […]
Wasp Factory – “climate crisis redux”
Wasp Factory are a frantic, noisy self-described “clout punk” band out of Columbus. Today they’re following up last year’s rippyman EP with an intense new single called “climate crisis redux,” a callback to their 2020 digital 7″ Wasp Factory Solves The Climate Crisis. If I’m hearing it right, this is a fresh recording of that […]
Flasher – “Love Is Yours”
Last month, Flasher announced a new album, Love Is Yours, the band’s first since their 2018 debut. Its lead single “Sideways” was the first that Taylor Mulitz and Emma Baker presented from the group as a duo, and it was groovier and more chilled-out than what’s come before. Today, they’re back with the album’s second […]
Church Girls – “Telepathic Mind”
Philly indie-punk group Church Girls released their excellent third album Still Blooms last October, and soon they’re embarking on a spring tour across Europe and the UK. To promote the tour, Church Girls have shared a propulsive one-off single, “Telepathic Mind.” “We all get depressed,” vocalist Mariel Beaumont says of “Telepathic Mind” in a press […]
Sinead O’Brien – “There Are Good Times Coming”
Two months ago, Sinead O’Brien announced her debut album Time Bend And Break The Bower. So far we’ve heard a couple songs from it, including “Girlkind” and “Holy Country.” Today, she’s back with another. O’Brien’s latest is called “There Are Good Times Coming.” Here’s what she had to say about it: It’s a hyper real, […]
Anteloper – “One Living Genus”
When Phil Freeman wrote about Jaimie Branch and Jason Nazar’s Anteloper in his jazz column Ugly Beauty four years ago, he enthused, “Honestly, this music has as much in common with Excepter as it does with jazz, and that’s exactly what makes it great.” Branch plays trumpet, Nazar plays drums, and both of them dabble […]
