Last year, the Los Angeles musician Ryan Pollie put out a new album under his own name. Today, he’s revealing a new side project called Total Revenge. The project’s debut album, which Pollie recorded himself on a four-track, is out next month, and he’s introducing it with lead single “The Fair.” It’s sloppy and compressed […]
Big Joanie – "Cranes In The Sky" (Solange Cover)
A couple years ago, the British trio Big Joanie released their debut album, Sistahs, a formidable and impressive album that came about after a few years of the band gestating in the underground. They’re working on their follow-up to it now — set to come out on the punk institution Kill Rock Stars — but […]
ANOHNI – “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” (Bob Dylan Cover)
ANOHNI hasn’t released a full-length album since 2016’s Hopelessness, but there’s been other music since then: The 2017 EP Paradise, the odd one-off single. And today, ANOHNI has announced and released a new 7″ single, which features covers of two different legends’ songs. One of those covers is new. It’s a take on Bob Dylan’s […]

Hear Bill Callahan's New Version Of Smog's Classic "Let's Move To The Country"
Smog’s 1999 masterwork Knock Knock — which turned 20 years old last year and happens to be this week’s Sunday Review over at Pitchfork — begins with a spare, tense, flickering ballad called “Let’s Move To The Country,” presumably inspired by Bill Callahan’s residence in a South Carolina farmhouse with Cat Power’s Chan Marshall, a […]
Future & Lil Uzi Vert – “Over Your Head” & “Patek”
Yesterday was Lil Uzi Vert’s 26th birthday. Happy birthday, Lil Uzi Vert! To celebrate, he dropped two new tracks with Future, “Over Your Head” and “Patek.” The former is basically a melodic Uzi song over a burbling synthetic beat, while “Patek” — not to be confused with Uzi’s 2018 song “New Patek” — is basically […]
Róisín Murphy – “Something More”
In the years since the dissolution of her ’90s trip-hop duo Moloko, Irish singer Róisín Murphy has become one of the most dependably great dance-pop auteurs around. And today, she’s announcing a new album called Róisín Machine, the disco-house diva’s first full-length project since 2016’s Take Her Up To Monto. Murphy recorded Róisín Machine with […]
Stream Fall Of Messiah’s New Album Senicarne
For more than a decade, the French post-rock band Fall Of Messiah have made tingly, majestic post-rock that draws on screamo and metal, doing everything in their power to sound as huge as possible. Their songs are long and dynamic, and they build to whirling, crushing climaxes. Most of the time, there aren’t any vocals, […]
