Last month, Jessica Dobson’s project Deep Sea Diver announced their third album, Impossible Weight. “Lights Out” accompanied the news as the album’s lead single. Today Dobson’s returned with the album’s title track — and this time, she brought Sharon Van Etten with her. “In the past I’d often tell myself, ‘This other person is going […]
House Of Feelings – “Black And Blue” (Feat. Shamir)
House Of Feelings, Matty Fasano’s collab-happy NYC dance music collective, are back with a new track. Shamir, who previously sang on House Of Feelings’ 2017 single “Falling,” is the featured vocalist on new song “Black And Blue.” And while he’s mostly moved away from dance music since his 2015 debut Ratchet, which featured Fasano on […]
Lo Tom – “Outta Here”
Back in 2017, Pedro The Lion’s David Bazan and TW Walsh got together with Starflyer 59’s Trey Many and Jason Martin to form a new band called Lo Tom — not Buffalo Tom, that’s something else — and to release a self-titled debut album. Later this month, the reassembled Lo Tom will release their Kickstarter-funded […]
Monica – “Trenches” (Feat. Lil Baby) (Prod. The Neptunes)
Last night, Brandy and Monica — the ’90s R&B greats who had a famous rivalry and an even-more-famous duet — got together for what was apparently the most-watched Verzuz battle since the series began earlier this year. The vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris put in a guest appearance, claiming that she’d be singing and dancing […]
Kevin Morby – "Campfire"
Kevin Morby released a new album, Oh My God, just last year. It was a double album, so maybe none of us were expecting its successor to arrive so soon. But Morby’s always been fairly prolific, and the scope of Oh My God didn’t slow down his next chapter. Today, Morby’s back with the announcement […]
Jerry David DeCicca – "Texas Toad"
Long-sideburned Texas-based singer-songwriter Jerry David DeCicca announced his new album The Unlikely Optimist And His Domestic Adventures over the summer with the ominously thudding lead single “I See Horizons.” The project’s second advance track is much more light and playful. It’s a rootsy jaunt called “Texas Toad,” over before you can finish DeCicca’s charming anecdote: […]
Total Revenge – "Jeep Cherokee"
At the end of the week, Ryan Pollie is releasing his debut album as Total Revenge, his scrappy new pop-punk project. He’s shared two singles from it already, “The Fair” and “The Lawn,” and today he’s sharing one last track before the whole thing’s out in full. “Jeep Cherokee” is dense and bittersweet, a chugging […]
Respire Announce New Album 'Black Line', Share New Single "Tempest": Listen
These days, a lot of DIY bands are exploring the place where the tectonic plates of screamo, black metal, and post-rock all rub up against one another, producing some huge and impressive musical earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. If you’re into bands like Deafheaven and Envy and Infant Island, then you owe it to yourself to […]
Dev Hynes, Porches, & Lydia Ainsworth Remix Girlpool's "Like I'm Winning It"
Earlier this year, Girlpool released the one-off single “Like I’m Winning It,” which brought the band’s sound in a moodier, dancey direction. It sounded primed for a remix, and today the band has shared an EPs worth of three different ones. Dev Hynes, Porches, and Lydia Ainsworth all provided their own versions of the track. […]
JPEGMAFIA – “Last Dance!”
Last year, the Baltimore rap expressionist JPEGMAFIA released his frantic, jagged album All My Heroes Are Cornballs. Since then, Peggy has been releasing a steady string of one-off singles that have shifted his sound in a more melodic direction, singing through Auto-Tune without losing his fundamental unpredictable weirdness. In recent months, he’s released tracks like […]
