Cults are back next month with their new album Host, the follow-up to 2017’s Offering. The album follows the course of a parasitic relationship, and we’ve already heard several tracks from it including “Trials,” “Spit You Out,” and “No Risk.” Today, they’re sharing new single and album closer “Monolothic,” which merges Cults’ classic earworm melodies […]
Hannah Georgas – "Easy"
Nex week, the Canadian songwriter Hannah Georgas will release her new album All That Emotion. She announced it back in June, and so far we’ve heard several tracks, including “That Emotion,” “Dreams,” and “Just A Phase.” Now, ahead of the album’s arrival, Georgas has shared a final preview. The latest All That Emotion track is […]
Sad13 – "Hysterical"
Four years after she released her solo debut Slugger, Speedy Ortiz leader Sadie Dupuis is getting ready to release Haunted Painting, the second album released under her Sad13 alias. The album comes out next month, and we’ve already posted the early tracks “WTD?,” “Ghost (Of A Good Time),” and “Oops…!” Today, we get another new […]
Hypoluxo – "Ridden"
Hypoluxo have been kicking around Brooklyn for a couple years now, playing gigs with Stereogum-approved acts like Nation Of Language and putting out a handful of releases. But the young band wound up in a classic bind — a shitty record deal that paralyzed and then almost destroyed them. Now, the quartet are back and […]
Thundercat – “Dragonball Durag (Remix)” (Feat. Guapdad 4000 & Smino)
Thundercat released his new album It Is What It Is, one of the best albums of the year so far, back in March. Early single “Dragonball Durag,” a liquid funk groove with a video featuring HAIM, Kali Uchis, and Quinta Brunson, was one of its highlights. And now the song has a great new remix […]
Loma – "Half Silences"
When Cross Record’s Emily Cross and Dan Duszynski teamed up with Shearwater’s Jonathan Meiburg to form Loma, it seemed like it might be one-off endeavor. But then last month we got news that they’d be following their 2017 debut with a new album, Don’t Shy Away. Along with the announcement, they shared a stunning new […]
Samia – "Triptych"
Samia’s debut album The Baby is out this Friday. She probably could have broadened her audience significantly by calling it DaBaby instead and counting on people finding it when they are searching for “Rockstar” or what have you. Nonetheless, it’s a record worth hearing, a thoughtful, dynamic, poppy collection of straightforward indie tracks. We’ve heard […]
Stream Mouthing's Terrifyingly Frantic Debut EP
Mouthing are a Houston band whose songs are short, horrifically intense outbursts bridging screamo, grindcore, crust, noise-rock, and probably several other subgenres that approximate the sound of a small village being eaten by demons. Their self-titled debut EP is out today, a co-release between the The Ghost Is Clear and the increasingly vital British Columbia […]
Big Sean – “Deep Reverence” (Feat. Nipsey Hussle)
Big Sean never seems to go away, but it’s been a while since he released an album. The last time we heard at length from Sean was in 2017, when he dropped both the LP I Decided. and Double Or Nothing, the collaborative mixtape with Metro Boomin. Big Sean now says that he’ll release his […]
Fenne Lily – "Solipsism"
Back in June, the Bristol songwriter Fenne Lily announced her sophomore album, BREACH. So far we’ve heard advance singles “Alapathy” and “Berlin,” and today she’s back with another one. Lily’s latest is called “Solipsism.” Here’s what she had to say about it: A lot of situations make me uncomfortable — some parties, most dates, every […]
