Vaporwave czar George Clanton and 311 frontman Nick Hexum have struck up quite the odd couple creative partnership lately. Following a string of singles beginning late last year and a live performance — remember live performances? — at Clanton’s 100% ElectroniCON 2 festival, they announced a full-length collaborative LP, George Clanton & Nick Hexum. And […]
HÆLOS – "Unknown Melody"
The last time we heard from the British electronic quartet HÆLOS wasn’t all that long ago. Their sophomore album, Any Random Kindness, came out just a little over a year ago, in May of 2019. Intricate and moody, it represented a refinement and extension of the aesthetic they established on their debut, 2016’s Full Circle. […]
Big Boi & Sleepy Brown Have A Collaborative Album On The Way: Hear "Can't Sleep"
Big Boi and longtime collaborator Sleepy Brown (best known for singing the hook on “The Way You Move“) have a new joint album called The Big Sleepover on the way. Last fall they shared a song called “Intentions” from the project, and today they’re back with another one that fits with the titular theme. “Can’t […]
Silverbacks – "Up The Nurses"
Last month, the Irish group Silverbacks (and newly minted Band To Watch) finally announced their debut album Fad. The news was accompanied by a great new song called “Muted Gold,” one of many excellent singles the band has shared in the last year or two leading up to their LP. There’s been non-album tracks “Sirens” […]
Cut Copy Announce New Album 'Freeze, Melt', Share New Single "Cold Water": Listen
It’s been nearly three years since the veteran Australian dance-rockers Cut Copy released Haiku From Zero, their most recent album. Last month, Cut Copy came back with the anxious, atmospheric single “Love Is All We Share.” Today, Cut Copy have announced that there’s a whole new LP on the way. Later this summer, the group […]
Barely Civil – "Bottom of the Lake" & North Newhall"
A couple years ago, the Wisconsin band Barely Civil released their very tight debut album, We Can Live Here Forever. They just announced its follow-up, I’ll Figure This Out, which is due out in September and was produced by emo whisperer Chris Teti. “It’s a record about making a decision to leave behind the parts […]
The Flaming Lips Share "My Religion Is You" From Their New Album 'American Head'
The Flaming Lips are releasing a new album called American Head on 9/11. Never forget? The album contains “Flowers Of Neptune 6,” their recent single with Kacey Musgraves on backing vocals. Musgraves appears on another track called “God And The Policeman,” which is hopefully a proper duet. The tracklist includes many evocative drug-related titles such […]
Megan Thee Stallion – "Girls In The Hood"
Megan Thee Stallion scored her first #1 song last month with “Savage,” in part thanks to a remix featuring a little-known recording artist named Beyoncé. The success of that single bumped the Houston rapper’s recent Suga EP up the charts, hitting a new peak at #7, and now Megan Thee Stallion is ready to capitalize […]
Hear Tom Petty’s "You Don’t Know How It Feels" Demo From Revived 'Wildflowers' Sessions Project
For years after releasing his classic 1994 solo album Wildflowers Tom Petty talked about how much material was left on the cutting room floor and his plans to one day eventually put out an expanded edition of the album. Petty passed away in 2017, and since he’s died his family has put out two posthumous […]
Semisonic – "You’re Not Alone"
Semisonic reunited for a handful of shows back in 2017, but the Twin Cities trio went their separate ways following the release of their third album, All About Chemistry, back in 2001 and haven’t released any new music since then. Frontman Dan Wilson became an in-demand pop songwriter, writing for artists like Adele, Taylor Swift, […]
