Loving all this Grandaddy nostalgia content lately! I published my own retrospective on the band’s 2000 masterwork The Sophtware Slump back in May, and shortly before that Ryley Walker shared a cover of “The Go In The Go-For-It” from 2003’s Sumday. Now PUP, the pencil-snappingly anxious Toronto pop-punk marauders, have delivered a cover of “A.M. […]
Deradoorian – "Mask Of Yesterday"
Angel Deradoorian’s astrologically inclined Find The Sun is one of those albums that has been stuck in rollout limbo this year, originally planned for a spring release but delayed due to COVID-19. Thus, Deradoorian — who also contributed vocals to yesterday’s blistering and beautiful indie all-star Black Sabbath cover — has now shared half the […]
Cut Copy – “Like Breaking Glass”
In a few weeks, the Australian synth-rock veterans Cut Copy will follow up 2017’s Haiku From Zero with a new album called Freeze, Melt. Frontman Dan Whitford, now living in Copenhagen, wrote most of the new album, and he returned to Australia before the pandemic to record it with his bandmates. The first two singles, […]
You Gotta Hear Vritra & Leon Sylvers IV's "What's That"
As Pyramid Vitra, Baton Rouge native Hal Williams was a founding member of Odd Future, rapping over Matt Martians’ beats in the group the Jet Age Of Tomorrow. He’s always been a prolific force outside those confines too, particularly of late: four solo albums since 2017, plus another under his Red Bag persona and yet […]
Tobacco & Trent Reznor – "Babysitter"
Black Moth Super Rainbow leader Tom Fec has not released a solo album under his Tobacco alias since 2016’s Sweatbox Dynasty, but the man has remained busy in the interim, releasing projects including the rarities collection Ripe & Majestic, a full-length album with Aesop Rock under the name from Malibu Ken, and a random Eric […]
645AR – "Sum Bout You" (Feat. FKA Twigs)
645AR is the Bronx-born, Southern-raised rapper with the aerated voice that has made him go viral a few different times over the last year. FKA Twigs is, well, you know, FKA Twigs. Today, the two of them have released a new track together called “Sum Bout You,” which pairs 645AR’s squeaking voice against Twigs’ own […]
Sad13 – "Oops…!"
Four years ago, Speedy Ortiz leader Sadie Dupuis released a full-length debut, Slugger, under her solo moniker Sad13. Then, back in June, she announced a sophomore outing called Haunted Painting. Along with the announcement, she unveiled a new single called “Ghost (Of A Good Time).” She’d previously shared the new track (that, as it turns […]
Kate Bollinger – "Feel Like Doing Nothing"
Last month, Charlottesville musician Kate Bollinger announced a new EP, A Word Becomes A Sound, with the lead single “Grey Skies.” Today, she’s back with a new track from it called “Feel Like Doing Nothing,” a subtle, breezy bounce punctuated by acoustic guitars and Bollinger’s insistence to leave all of her problems for another day. […]
Soulside Share "This Ship ," First New Song In 31 Years
Back in the ’80s, Soulside were part of a generation of influential DC punk bands, peers of groups like Swiz and Shudder To Think. After a couple releases on Dischord, they disbanded in 1989. Then, in 2015, the group reunited and started performing together again. Now they’re unveiling their first new music in 31 years, […]
