Back in June, the British duo Wet Leg unveiled their debut single for Domino, “Chaise Lounge.” Reception around the track seemed to be strong, generating some buzz around their name; we ranked it amongst the best songs that week. Now, Wet Leg are finally following it up with another new song. Wet Leg’s latest is […]
IDLES – “The Beachland Ballroom”
Two years ago, we posted the phrase Kenny Beats Is Working On The New IDLES Album, which was factually true even if the end results were a little underwhelming. (The hip-hop producer ended up only providing some additional programming on their 2020 album Ultra Mono.) But today IDLES are announcing a whole new album, CRAWLER, […]
Years & Years – “Crave”
It’s been a little over three years since the last Years & Years album, Palo Santo. Not that Olly Alexander hasn’t been plenty busy in recent times — covering Lady Gaga and Lil Nas X, performing Pet Shop Boys’ “It’s A Sin” with Elton John, starring in the HBO show of the same name, and […]
Deep Sea Diver – “Hand In My Pocket” (Feat. Damien Jurado) (Alanis Morissette Cover)
Last year, the Seattle band Deep Sea Diver released a new album, Impossible Weight, which featured a song with Sharon Van Etten. They’re currently out on tour and in advance of their New York City show tonight, the Jessica Dobson-led project has released a new cover of Alanis Morissette’s “Hand In My Pocket,” which features […]
Fat Tony – “Ain’t For Me”
Houston rapper Fat Tony has a long history of making sharp and thoughtful music, and he remains an underrated force. Last year, Tony released his narrative-heavy album Exotica. Today, while gearing up for a tour with recent Polaris Prize winner Cadence Weapon, Tony has followed that album with a new single called “Ain’t For Me.” […]
Gold Dust – “Run Into Clouds”
You will remember the name of… Gold Dust. The Massachusetts musician Stephen Pierce has made music as a member of bands like Ampere and Kindling. (His press photo might convince you that he’s also made music as a member of the Backstreet Boys, but no, that’s not AJ McLean. Different guy.) These days, Pierce also […]
Bartees Strange, Eric Slick, & Ohmme – “Province” (TV On The Radio Cover)
Last month, Sylvan Esso announced a new label called Psychic Hotline. To kick things off, they had a single series planned with an impressive array of artists involved. The first installment was Amelia Meath and and Blake Mills teaming up for “Neon Blue.” Today, we get two more entries in the series. The A-side of […]
Converge & Chelsea Wolfe – “Blood Moon”
Way the hell back in 2016, Boston metal and hardcore legends Converge toured Europe and played the Roadburn Festival, and they added some extra members for the occasion. For the project known as Blood Moon, Converge teamed up with doom-folk singer-songwriter Chelsea Wolfe and Wolfe’s collaborator Ben Chisholm, as well as Cave-In/Mutoid Man leader Stephen […]
Death Valley Girls – “It’s All Really Kind Of Amazing”
Last year, Death Valley Girls, the psychedelic garage rock group from Los Angeles, released Under the Spell Of Joy, an album that veered all over the aesthetic map. That record sounded like what might happen if Stereolab and Thee Headcoatees went on a peyote voyage while listening to obscure ’70s funk together, and it ruled. […]
Martha Skye Murphy – “Stuck”
After a pair of EPs last year, Martha Skye Murphy has popped up a couple times this year — first guesting with Squid on their towering single “Narrator,” and then with her own haunting track “Found Out.” (Both those songs ranked amongst our favorites in their respective weeks.) Now, Murphy has returned to announce that […]
