Troye Sivan is a couple weeks out from the release of his new IN A DREAM EP. His recent singles “Take Yourself Home” and “Easy” are both on it, and today the Australian pop singer is releasing a third song from it called “Rager teenager!” It starts off slow and wordy, Sivan smoothly reflecting on […]
Machinedrum – "Kane Train" (Feat. Freddie Gibbs) & "Ur2yung"
Circa now, there are few better ways to generate excitement for your new album than getting Freddie Gibbs on the lead single. Gibbs, always talented and prolific, has been on a particularly satisfying tear lately, turning out stunning album-length team-ups with Madlib and the Alchemist within the span of a year. He’s now linked up […]
Widowspeak – "Even True Love"
Back in June, the reliably pretty and hazy folk-rock group Widowspeak announced their latest album, Plum. So far we’ve heard several songs from it, including “Breadwinner,” “Money,” and its title track. Today, with the album’s late August release quickly approaching, the band has shared another preview. The latest glimpse of Plum is called “Even True […]
Eartheater Announces New Album 'Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin' & Shares Striking Video For New Track "How To Fight": Watch
Eartheater is Alexandra Drewchin, a Pennsylvania-born and Queens-based singer and composer who specializes in experimental, operatic music that resists easy categorization. Eartheater has been releasing music since 2015, and she’s just announced that she’ll follow her 2018 album IRISIRI and her 2019 mixtape Trinity with a new LP called Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My […]
Bully – "Hours And Hours"
Bully’s new album SUGAREGG is such a rush, but Alicia Bognanno does slow things down here and there. “Hours And Hours,” the album’s third single following “Where To Start” and “Every Tradition,” is one of those instances. Over slow-creeping Pixies-esque bass and shakers, Bognanno reflects on her relationship with her mother, occasionally exploding into big […]
Tim Heidecker – “Fear Of Death” (Feat. Weyes Blood)
Actor and comedian Tim Heidecker, of Tim & Eric fame, has been moonlighting as a ’70s-inspired singer-songwriter for a while now. His most recent album, last year’s What The Brokenhearted Do…, was a fake breakup album. But for his new one — the newly announced Fear Of Death, out next month via Spacebomb — he’s […]
PUP – "A.M. 180" (Grandaddy Cover)
Loving all this Grandaddy nostalgia content lately! I published my own retrospective on the band’s 2000 masterwork The Sophtware Slump back in May, and shortly before that Ryley Walker shared a cover of “The Go In The Go-For-It” from 2003’s Sumday. Now PUP, the pencil-snappingly anxious Toronto pop-punk marauders, have delivered a cover of “A.M. […]
Deradoorian – "Mask Of Yesterday"
Angel Deradoorian’s astrologically inclined Find The Sun is one of those albums that has been stuck in rollout limbo this year, originally planned for a spring release but delayed due to COVID-19. Thus, Deradoorian — who also contributed vocals to yesterday’s blistering and beautiful indie all-star Black Sabbath cover — has now shared half the […]
Cut Copy – “Like Breaking Glass”
In a few weeks, the Australian synth-rock veterans Cut Copy will follow up 2017’s Haiku From Zero with a new album called Freeze, Melt. Frontman Dan Whitford, now living in Copenhagen, wrote most of the new album, and he returned to Australia before the pandemic to record it with his bandmates. The first two singles, […]
You Gotta Hear Vritra & Leon Sylvers IV's "What's That"
As Pyramid Vitra, Baton Rouge native Hal Williams was a founding member of Odd Future, rapping over Matt Martians’ beats in the group the Jet Age Of Tomorrow. He’s always been a prolific force outside those confines too, particularly of late: four solo albums since 2017, plus another under his Red Bag persona and yet […]
