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 […]
Emily A. Sprague – “Star Gazing”
In addition to her stellar work as Florist, Emily A. Sprague also puts out ambient music under her given name. She’s put out a couple albums so far, 2017’s Water Memory and 2018’s Mount Vision, and today she’s announcing a new one called Hill, Flower, Fog, which was briefly available on Bandcamp early on in […]
YG – “Out On Bail”
Next month, the reliable Compton rap hardhead YG will come out with his new album MY LIFE 4HUNNID. For months now, YG has been putting out singles, usually with eye-grabbing videos. We’ve posted his tracks “Laugh Now, Kry Later!,” “FTP,” and “Swag.” Today, he’s come out with a new track that seems to address his […]
Pylon – “Modern Day Fashion Woman (Version 2)”
Pylon were legends of the post-punk and new wave scene in Athens, Georgia in the early ’80s, and their storied career is being celebrated with a new comprehensive box set out in November. In addition to remastered versions of both of their studio albums, the 47-track Pylon Box includes a collection of rarities called Extra […]
Sad13 – “Ruby Wand”
Speedy Ortiz leader Sadie Dupuis is releasing Haunted Painting, the second album from her pop-leaning Sad13 project, at the end of the week. We’ve already posted early tracks “WTD?,” “Ghost (Of A Good Time),” “Oops…!,” and “Hysterical,” and now we’re getting one more taste with “Ruby Wand” before the full LP drops on Friday. “Ruby’s […]
