The song references Slowthai’s outburst at at the NME Awards earlier this year and sampled a remark by the 1975’s Matty Healy. Slowthai is wasting no time following it […]
Alison Mosshart – “It Ain’t Water”
Alison Mosshart, of the Kills and the Dead Weather fame, hadn’t released a solo song of her own until last month’s “Rise” despite over two decades in the rock game.

Neil Young – "Try" (Feat. Levon Helm & Emmylou Harris)
Neil Young has a ton going on. He has multiple archival releases in the works right now, in addition to his frequent quarantine Fireside Sessions and a steady drip of new music.

Little Kid – "Losing"
Toronto quartet Little Kid are led by Kenny Boothby, who was raised Pentecostal and whose music continues to be seasoned with reflections on the Christian faith. The band’s forthcoming album is called Transfiguration Highway, and its opening track is called “I Thought That You’d Been Raptured.” Yet new single “Losing” is probably not most people’s […]
Spielbergs – "Go!"
Norwegian Band To Watch Spielbergs play huge, anthemic, punch-the-sky indie rock. And now they’re back with their first new music since 2019’s Running All The Way Home EP, a new installment in Adult Swim’s 2019-2020 Singles series. “Go!” — pretty much the perfect Spielbergs song title — reunites the band with Tord Øverland Knudsen, the […]

Bing & Ruth – "Live Forever"
Last month, Bing & Ruth — the compositional project led by David Mooe — announced a new album, Species, with the lead single “I Had No Dream.” Today, they’re sharing the album’s centerpiece, a 13-minute slow burn called “Live Forever,” which glides through its long runtime with a preternatural calm. “Depending on how you’re registering […]
Luke Jenner – “If There Is A God”
Just before the pandemic hit, Luke Jenner, frontman of reunited New York dance-punk greats the Rapture, announced his intentions to drop a solo album. He also released the spare and vulnerable “You’re Not Alone,” that album’s first single. 1, Jenner’s first record without the Rapture, was supposed to come out this month. Like so many […]
CHAI – "Ready Cheeky Pretty"
Last year, CHAI released a really great album, PUNK — it was our Album Of The Week when it came out — and they re-emerged a couple months ago with a new single, “No More Cake.” Today, they’re back with another one, “Ready Cheeky Pretty,” a densely-layered track built around the Japanese band’s endlessly positive […]
