Next month, the tremendously gifted country-folk singer and songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews will follow up her shattering 2018 album May Your Kindness Remain with a new LP called Old Flowers. The new album, originally slated for release in early June, only features three musicians — Andrews herself, Twain’s Matthew Davidson, and Big Thief’s James Krivchenia. […]

Kanye West – "Wash Us In The Blood"
Kanye West has released a new song called “Wash Us In The Blood.” It features Travis Scott and was mixed by Dr. Dre, which might mean that Dre produced his forthcoming album God’s Country.

Jordana – "Big"
Earlier this year, Jordana Nye re-released her debut album, Classical Notions Of Happiness. It came with a couple bonus tracks, including the excellent “Crunch” and “Sway.” Those songs seemed to suggest a new direction Jordana might be poised to explore on upcoming releases, and as it turns out, we’ll get to hear more of that […]

They have a couple short-form releases to their name so far, including last year’s hello, this is exploitation and 2017’s Self Preservation.

After releasing the EP collection Ultimate Aggression last year, fresh-faced young Delaware band Year Of The Knife are now getting ready to release Internal Incarceration, their first proper album of gut-pummeling metallic hardcore destructiveness.

Devendra Banhart Announces New EP 'Vast Ovoid', Shares New Single "Let's See": Listen
Last year, the veteran psychedelic folk sprite Devendra Banhart released an album called Ma, which does not have anything to do with Octavia Spencer befriending hard-partying teenagers. Since then, Banhart had assisted on the Mykki Blanco single “You Will Find It” and covered T. Rex’s “Scenesof.” Today, Banhart announced his intention to release a new […]
Sun Kil Moon – “Lemon Balm” (Feat. Petra Haden)
A few weeks ago, Sun Kil Moon’s Mark Kozelek announced a new album called Welcome To Sparks, Nevada and shared its first single, a mellow and ruminative 11-minute song called “The Johnny Cash Trail.” Today, Kozelek has dropped a video for another song from the album.

Bill Callahan Is A Limo Driver Reflecting On Marriage In His Incredible New Song "Pigeons"
“Hello, I’m Johnny Cash.” These are the first words out of Bill Callahan’s mouth on Gold Record, his newly announced follow-up to last year’s Shepherd In A Sheepskin Vest. We learned of this album’s existence last week, which was surprising because last time Callahan took six years between albums, and now he’s turned one around […]
Rina Sawayama – "Dance In The Dark” (Lady Gaga Cover)
Earlier this year, Rina Sawayama released her debut album, SAWAYAMA, a smart and satisfying fusion of 2000s pop trends. She’s putting those talents to good use once again by covering “Dance In The Dark,” an underrated gem from Lady Gaga’s 2009 EP The Fame Monster. Sawayama matches the original’s throbbing pulse with an operatic splendor. […]
