Late last year, Mykki Blanco returned with their first new song since their 2016 debut Mykki, “Lucky (Live In London).” Earlier this month, they returned with another new one called “Patriarchy Aint The End Of Me.” Both were supposedly examples of a whole bunch of new music Blanco had been working on in the last […]
Infant Island – “Content”
Infant Island absolutely rule. The Fredricksburg, Virginia band draws from late-’90s screamo to make an urgent, noisy, towering form of cathartically bugged-out basement rock. Earlier month, they released a towering EP called Sepulcher. That was the first part of a deluge. The second part will arrive next month, when Infant Island follow up their great […]
Land Of Talk – “Compelled”
Right now, for obvious reasons, a whole lot of artists are delaying their planned album releases. It’s tough, after all, to promote a new LP when you can’t tour. This morning, we already added Protomartyr to the list of artists whose albums won’t be coming out on time. Today, we’ve got another one for the […]
Johanna Warren – "Twisted"
Back in February, Johanna Warren announced she was returning with a new album called Chaotic Good. So far, we’ve heard several tracks from it, including “Bed Of Nails,” “Part Of It,” and “Only The Truth.” And now, ahead of Chaotic Good finally arriving this Friday, Warren has shared one final preview of the album. The […]
BADBADNOTGOOD – "Goodbye Blue" & "Glide (Goodbye Blue Pt. 2)"
As they grew more popular over the course of the last decade, it often felt as if BADBADNOTGOOD were always around. The malleable Toronto jazz group toured relentlessly, and their name appeared frequently alongside high-profile collaborators in the rap world. After releasing their last album, IV, in 2016 and subsequently taking it on the road, […]
Hinds – "Just Like Kids (Miau)"
Hinds have been rolling out their third album, The Prettiest Curse, ever since “Riding Solo” dropped last December. When they officially announced the LP with the release of “Good Bad Times,” it was scheduled in early April. That was still the plan when “Come Back And Love Me” came around, but that was about a […]
Protomartyr – "Worm In Heaven"
Last month, Protomartyr revealed they would return with a new collection of their bleakly philosophical, apocalyptic rock called Ultimate Success Today. Along with the announcement, they shared the album’s lead single “Processed By The Boys” — a very promising first glimpse that ranked amongst our favorite songs that week. Today, they are back with some […]
Khruangbin – "Time (You And I)"
The Houston psychedelic trio Khruangbin have established quite a name for themselves over the last few years. They released their debut album, The Universe Smiles Upon You, in 2015, though they had been around for long before that; in 2018, they released their second album, Con Todo El Mundo and then reimagined the whole thing […]
Superorganism Board The Quarantine John Lennon Cover Train
As we get deeper into this quarantine, it seems like bands are navigating towards covering classic rock acts in this time of international uncertainty. John Lennon has, of course, been the source of a lot of this energy over the last couple months — he memorably had that terrible star-studded “Imagine” cover that Gal Godot […]
Jim James, Will Oldham, & Other Kentucky Musicians Release New Charity Single "Lift Up Louisville": Listen
We’ve seen a whole lot of all-star singalongs in recent weeks — like the celeb-heavy Canadian one that aired as part of a COVID-19 relief special last one — but the new song “Lift Up Louisville” is a little different. The new single has been created specifically by the musicians of the music-rich Kentucky city […]
