Thunder Dreamer are following up their 2017 debut Capture next month with a new EP called Summer Sleeping. The Indiana Band To Watch recorded it with Tyler Watkins of Margot & The Nuclear So & So’s, and its songs are quieter and dreamer than Capture.

Burning Ambulance, founded in 2010 by artist I.A. Freeman and journalist Philip Freeman — who also happens to be a Stereogum contributor and writes our monthly jazz column — started out as a small print on demand zine. Then it was a website.

Fivio Foreign – “Bop It” (Feat. Polo G)
I don’t know where the Bop It ranks on the list of the worst things ever created by man, but it is, at the very least, on that list. If you don’t know, the Bop It is a plastic toy that yells out instructions to you, a reflex-test Simon Says thing. If you’re playing it, […]
