Last year, ANOHNI And The Johnsons released their album My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross. It was ANOHNI’s first album in seven years, and it was also the first with the Johnsons, her old backing band, on board since 2010’s Swanlight. With or without the Johnsons, it’s been a long time since […]
Premature Evaluation: Charli XCX Brat
In 2010, when she was “Charli XCX” only on flyers for underground London raves, Charlotte Aitchison sang Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time” as a performance art piece while studying at UCL’s Slade School of Fine Art. It’s hard not to view the school project as a prophecy. Britney’s impact is woven throughout Charli’s career, […]
Glimmer – “Homesick”
New York “grungegaze” band Glimmer crossed our radar earlier this year with a pair of singles called “Buried” and “Daydream.” They’re back today with another one called “Homesick” which, like its predecessors, was mastered by Will Yip. “Grungegaze” is a very accurate descriptor here. “Homesick” hits like a sucker punch, layering guitar riff on guitar […]

Sanguisugabogg – “Permanently Fucked”
Here’s a fun activity for you and your friends: Take turns trying to say the world “Sanguisugabogg” out loud. Last year, the old-school Ohio death metallers were a Stereogum Band To Watch, and now they’ve got an absolutely brutal new song called “Permanently Fucked.” That title is considerably less hard to pronounce. “Permanently Fucked” is […]

The 50 Best Albums Of 2024 So Far
In my decade at Stereogum, I’ve helped make a lot of lists. The first time I was asked to contribute to one back in 2014, I was so excited to stuff the proverbial ballot box with personal favorites from that year. (Mitski, LVL UP, Chumped — impeccable taste!) It felt surreal to have some say […]
Mercury Rev – “Patterns”
The last time we heard from Buffalo psychedelic rock legends Mercury Rev was 2019. That’s when they released Bobbie Gentry’s Delta Sweete Revisited, a full-length tribute to the great country-folk singer-songwriter Bobbie Gentry that had a bunch of contributions from famous friends. Mercury Rev haven’t released an album of new material in nine long years, […]
Hear The Soft Moon’s Final Work, A Remix Of M83’s “Ocean’s Niagara”

Today his final musical creation has been released. It’s a remix of “Oceans Niagara,” the lead single from last year’s M83 comeback album Fantasy. It’s part […]
