Next month, stadium-level alt-rock survivors Red Hot Chili Peppers will return with their new LP Unlimited Love. It’s a reunion album in a couple of ways. Guitarist John Frusciante has rejoined the band, and Unlimited Love is the band’s first album since 2006 with him on board. It’s also their first time working with producer […]
Spielbergs – “Brother Of Mine”
We haven’t heard from Norwegian Band To Watch Spielbergs since 2020, when they put out a one-off Adult Swim singles series track following the quickly plotted release of their 2018 debut album This Is Not The End and the subsequent Running All The Way Home EP in 2019. But today they’re back with a new […]
Midwife – “Send The Pain Below” (Chevelle Cover)
Madeline Johnston, the Denver musician who records as Midwife, specializes in a ghostly, tingly form of shoegaze that she calls “heaven metal.” Last year, she released her album Luminol, and it ruled. Since then, she’s collaborated with Nothing and toured with Deafheaven, and now she’s letting the world hear her version of dusty early-’00s butt-rock. […]
beabadoobee – “Talk”
Between her 2020 debut Fake It Flowers and last year’s Our Extended Play EP, beabadoobee quickly became one of the more fascinating and beloved young pop artists to emerge in recent years. Now, she’s about to return with a sophomore album. It’s called Beatopia, after an imaginary world she created as a child. It’s out […]
Soccer Mommy – “Shotgun” (Prod. Oneohtrix Point Never)
Even after Soccer Mommy toyed around in the experimental electronic pop realm with last year’s one-off single “Rom Com 2004,” a collaboration with Bon Iver/Low producer BJ Burton, I cannot say I ever expected Sophie Allison’s next album to be produced by Daniel Lopatin. Yet here we are: The follow-up to 2020’s magnificent color theory […]
Lykki Li – “No Hotel”
The dramatic and intense Swedish pop star Lykke Li has been relatively quiet lately. Back in 2020, she released “BRON,” her first-ever Swedish-language single. Since then, it’s been crickets. Today, though, Lykke Li has surprise-released a new single called “No Hotel.” It’s very pretty and very, very sad. There’s not a whole lot of instrumentation […]
The Range – “Ricercar”
The Range returned with his first proper single in six years, “Bicameral,” at the end of January — it made our list of the best songs of that week — and today he’s back with news of a new album called Mercury, his follow-up to 2016’s excellent Potential. We’re also getting a new single today, […]
Greet Death – “Panic Song”
Back in 2019, the Flint, Michigan band Greet Death released their gorgeously heavy LP New Hell. Greet Death haven’t come out with another album, but the band has switched up its sound on a series of singles that have come out over the past few months. On their songs “I Hate Everything,” “Your Love Is […]
Pendant – “Blue Mare”
Last month, Chris Adams announced his new Pendant album Harp. So far we’ve heard two songs from it, including “Thorn” and “Static Dream.” Today, he’s back with another. The latest preview of Harp arrives in the form of “Blue Mare.” Adams says the song is “about the fear and melancholy that comes with getting older; […]
Luke Steele – “Pool Of Love”
Empire Of The Sun’s Luke Steele is preparing to release his debut solo album in May. Titled Listen To The Water, the album features a couple of songs we’ve already heard, including “Common Man” and “Armageddon Slice.” Now, Steele is sharing a new song “Pool Of Love.” It’s a mellow, meandering tune featuring Steele’s layered […]
