It’s been over four years since the last Told Slant album, Going By, but today Felix Walworth is announcing the project’s new album, which is called Point The Flashlight And Walk and will be out in November. We’re getting two songs from it to start, “Family Still” and “No Backpack.” The former is hypnotic and […]
Rapper Elucid & Producer The Lasso Form New Group Small Bills, Announce Debut Album 'Don't Play It Straight', Share Fielded Collab "Safehouse": Listen
The New York rapper and producer Elucid is a restless soul who always seems to be looking for new ways to push his voice in different directions. Along with billy woods, Elucid is half of the jagged, expressionist duo Armand Hammer, whose new album Shrines is among the best of 2020. On his own, Elucid […]
Lambchop – "Reservations" (Wilco Cover)
In March of 2019, Lambchop released their latest album, This (is what I wanted to tell you). But Lambchop has always been a unique beast, so it’s not like the group was planning for two years of endless touring in support of it. Instead, Lambchop mastermind Kurt Wagner invited his band members to Nashville to […]
Stephen Malkmus – "Juliefuckingette"
Stephen Malkmus has been on a hell of run, dropping three distinct albums in as many years. First came 2018’s straightforwardly indie-rockin’ Jicks offering Sparkle Hard, then 2019’s loosely electronic solo joint Groove Denied, then this year’s rootsy Traditional Techniques. That’s a lot of music, but given the troves of bonus material that accompanied each […]
Stephen Malkmus Unveils B-Side From 'Traditional Techniques'
Just before the pandemic hit, Stephen Malkmus released his latest solo album, Traditional Techniques. He wasn’t able to properly hit the road for the late-spring, early-summer tour in support of it for obvious reasons. But, if it’s any consolation, it seems like there’s a bunch of solid leftover tracks that didn’t make the album. One such […]
Stream Mr. Husband's New Album 'Hey Sufjan, You Took Too Long So I Went Ahead And Made West Virginia'
Sufjan Stevens is never going to finish his 50 States project. He never was. Everyone knows this. Although the legendary singer-songwriter and composer rose to fame largely on the strength of 2003’s Michigan and 2005’s Illinois and an ambitious quest to record an album about each state in the Union, by 2009 he was telling […]
Sufjan Stevens Shares New Video for 'Sugar'
Sufjan Stevens has steadily shared songs from The Ascension, his first new solo album in five years. So far, he’s shared a pair of lengthy tunes from that album with the 12-minute “America” and “Video Game” (in which the video featured viral TikTok dancer Jalaiah Harmon) and a B-side with “My Rajneesh.” Now, another new song, […]
King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard – “Straws In The Wind”
Right now, the Australian psych-rock troupe King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard is in a state of transition. Last month, the band announced that drummer and manager Eric Moore was departing the band, leaving them with only one drummer. (The photo that you see above is the new-look six-member lineup.) But the Lizard Wizard are […]
Sufjan Stevens – "Sugar"
It’s been more than five years since Sufjan Stevens released his last proper solo album, the hushed and ghostly acoustic lament Carrie & Lowell. That drought will end next week with the release of a lengthy and electronically inclined new opus called The Ascension. Sufjan has already shared two songs from the project, the doleful […]
Jeff Tweedy – "Guess Again" & "Love Is The King"
Jeff Tweedy is a prolific man. Since 2018, he has released a memoir, two sister albums, and a new Wilco album — and that’s just the stuff with his name up top, let alone all the production work and extracurricular hijinks he’s up to at any given moment. He’s already got a new book, How […]
