After the Shins released Heartworms in 2017, they followed it up with The Heart’s Worm, an album comprising “flipped” versions of the same songs. They’re back today with their first new song since, and this one has a flipped companion piece too. “The Great Divide” (not to be confused with “Weird Divide“) presents James Mercer’s […]
Kurt Vile – "How Lucky" (Feat. John Prine)
This steady stream of covers paying tribute to the late, great John Prine has continued this month with offerings from Califone and Wynonna. Today we hear another one, but it was recorded before Prine’s death, and it features the man himself. Kurt Vile recorded Speed, Sound, Lonely KV (ep) in various Nashville sessions over the […]
Bruce Springsteen – “Ghosts”
A couple of weeks ago, old god Bruce Springsteen announced that he’s got a new album called Letter To You ready to go. Springsteen recorded the LP with his E Street Band backing him up — his first time playing with them since their 2016 tour. Springsteen and his band bashed out the LP in […]
0PN Announces New Album 'Magic Oneohtrix Point Never': Hear 3 Tracks
Daniel Lopatin teased new Oneohtrix Point Never music earlier this week, and today he delivers on that tease in abundance. Turns out a new 0PN album called Magic Oneohtrix Point Never is coming next month, and Lopatin has shared its first three songs. This is how Lopatin fans win! The album title was inspired by […]
Shamir – “Other Side”
Early next week, the Vegas-born and Philly-based DIY phenom Shamir Bailey will release his new self-titled album. The new record walks some interesting lines, splitting the difference between the explosive pop of his 2015 debut Ratchet and the more oblique indie music he’s made in the years since. Shamir has already shared the early tracks […]
Clipping – ”96 Neve Campbell” (Feat. Cam & China)
Next month, just in time for Halloween, the great avant-rap trio Clipping will come out with their new album Visions Of Bodies Being Burned. Like their previous LP, 2019’s There Existed An Addiction To Blood, the new album is inspired by both horror movies and the horrorcore rap of the ’90s. And judging by its […]
Loma – “Don’t Shy Away” & “I Fix My Gaze”
Emily Cross and Dan Duszynski of Cross Record teamed up with Shearwater’s Jonathan Meiburg in 2017, forming a trio called Loma and releasing a self-titled record. Next month, they’re following it up with a new one called Don’t Shy Away, recorded at Duszynski’s house in rural Texas, and they’ve already shared two very good tracks […]
Hypoluxo – "Nimbus"
Last month, the nervy Brooklyn group Hypoluxo returned with a new single, “Ridden.” It was their first release via Terrible Records’ Flexible Distribution, after a pretty negative run with an old label that, as the story behind “Ridden” goes, almost killed the band. But they survived, and they are in fact coming back with a […]
Holy Motors – "Trouble"
Back in July, the hazy Estonian cowboy rockers Holy Motors announced Horse, the followup to their 2018 debut (and Album Of The Week) Slow Sundown. So far, we’ve heard the uncharacteristically sprightly “Country Church” and the characteristically desert noirish “Endless Night.” Today, they’re back with a final preview of Horse ahead of its arrival in […]
Starrah – "Keep Calm" (Prod. James Blake)
Starrah has been around for a while now. You might recognize her name from guest features with Diplo, Big Sean, or Charli XCX, but mostly she’s been a behind-the-scenes fixture, racking up writing credits on songs by Rihanna, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Calvin Harris, and many more. She’s also been a part of the writing team […]
