Last week, the Smashing Pumpkins officially announced their new double album, CYR, after sharing two songs from it, the title track and “The Colour Of Love,” last month. Today, they’re back with another pair of songs from CYR: “Confessions Of A Dopamine Addict” and “Wrath.” In conjunction with the new album, Billy Corgan has created […]
The Sonder Bombs – "What Are Friends For?"
Two years ago, the Cleveland, OH-based band the Sonder Bombs released their debut album, MODERN FEMALE ROCKSTAR, a ukulele-forward collection of chugging rock songs. Last year, they released the one-off “I Don’t Have One Anymore,” and now they have a new album on the way, which will be formally announced next month. But for now […]
Sharon Van Etten – “All Over Again”
Sharon Van Etten’s album Epic just turned 10 this week. But today, she’s looking back to a different era. In 2015, Van Etten dropped I Don’t Want To Let You Down, an EP of five songs that didn’t make it onto her 2014 LP Are We There, and she released its title track on a […]
Pixies – "Hear Me Out"
Pixies, the massively influential indie rock band whose post-reunion reputation has declined to the point that they may in fact be underrated at this point, are back today with a new song from a double A-side single. Next month the group will release a new 7″ featuring “Hear Me Out” and “Mambo Sun,” their first […]
Homeboy Sandman & Quelle Chris – “Extinction”
Queens rap veteran Homeboy Sandman announced Don’t Feed The Monster, an entire album produced by his Mello Music Group labelmate Quelle Chris, earlier this month. Quelle Chris is also the only other rapper featured on the project. And today, following the personal and intensely contemplative lead single “Trauma,” we’re getting another taste. “Are any cool […]

Toro Y Moi Raps Alongside MadeInTYO On New Single "Money Up": Listen
Chaz Bundick, the chillwave pioneer and forever-mutating bedroom-pop traveler who calls himself Toro Y Moi, has been making occasional appearances on rap records ever since 2013, when Travis Scott recruited him to guest on the Owl Pharaoh mixtape. But I’m pretty sure we’ve never heard Toro Y Moi rap before today. I am delighted to […]
Actress – “Loveless” (Feat. Aura T-09) & “Angels Pharmacy” (Feat. Zsela)
Darren Cunningham, the UK producer who makes murky electronic music under the name Actress, just released an album called 88 a couple of months ago. But 88, 22 instrumental tracks bundled into one 48-minute recording, is really just the precursor to a bigger, more offficial release out next month, Karma & Desire. We’ve already heard […]
As The Brothers Macklovitch, A-Trak & Dave 1 Cover Portrait's "I Can Call You"
Real-life brothers A-Trak and Dave 1 — one half of Duck Sauce and Chromeo, respectively, among other affiliations — teamed up as the Brothers Macklovitch back in May to release a contagiously fizzy house track called “Give Love To Get Some.” At the time, the Montreal-bred duo promised a second single under the same banner […]
Mr. Bungle – “Eracist”
The Californian avant-metal band Mr. Bungle went through a whole lot of phases in between forming in the mid ’80s and breaking up in the late ’90s. For a while, frontman Mike Patton’s success in his other band Faith No More led Mr. Bungle to become one of the weirdest, most experimental groups ever on […]
