Later this week, original chillwaver Ernest Greene, better known as Washed Out, will follow up his 2017 album Mister Mellow with a new LP called Purple Noon. Greene has already shared the early singles “Too Late” and “Time To Walk Away,” and today, he shares a new track called “Paralyzed.” It’s a fine piece of […]
Excide – “Actualize” & “Radiation Reel”
Excide are a band whose members come from North and South Carolina, and their sound is a chunky, melodic, exciting take on hardcore. This is a band that knows how to groove and bounce, and they’ve got a way with vast, anthemic singalong choruses. But they also make some real blood-in-your-eyes mosh music. When I […]
Ryan Hemsworth – "Keep Touch" (Feat. Leland Whitty)
At the end of the month, Ryan Hemsworth is putting out a new EP called Pout, the latest in a string of releases from the Canadian producer this year that have included the Defend + Defund mix and April’s two-track single. Today, he’s shared a very pretty new track called “Keep Touch,” which features BadBadNotGood […]
Cults – "No Risk"
Next month, Cults will release a new album, Host, the follow-up to 2017’s Offering. They’ve shared two solid tracks from it so far, “Spit You Out” and “Trials,” and today they’re back with a third. “No Risk” is catchy and shuffling, building from Madeline Follin’s whispered incantations to something more muscular and lean, before dropping […]

Whitney – "Strange Overtones" (David Byrne & Brian Eno Cover)
Almost a year ago, Chicago’s Whitney released their most recent album, Forever Turned Around. A couple months ago, they began unveiling covers of big pop standards like John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” Then, just last month, we found out this was part of a whole new covers album called Candid. Along with that […]
Kelly Lee Owens – "Corner Of My Sky" (Feat. John Cale)
We’re finally only a few weeks away from the release of Kelly Lee Owens’ sophomore album, Inner Song, after it was announced way back in February. Owens has shared a handful of tracks in that time — “Melt!,” “Night,” and “On” — and today she’s back with another song, “Corner Of My Sky,” which is […]
Members Of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, Krallice Form Black Sabbath Cover Band Rehearsal
It is, of course, not uncommon for musicians to cover each other. It’s perhaps a bit more unexpected when established indie musicians go and form a full-blown cover band. That is, however, what has happened with Black Sabbath Cover Band Rehearsal. As you might be able to tell from the name, it’s not exactly your […]
Stream The Paul Institute's 'Summer 2020' EP
The Paul Institute, the musical project spearheaded by brothers Jai and A.K. Paul, has released a new batch of recordings today. Dubbed the Summer 2020 EP, it’s more of a mixtape featuring a range of Paul affiliates. It’s not the massive outpouring Paul fans have been hoping for since Jai made his comeback last year, […]
Young Jesus – "Magicians"
Two years ago, we named Young Jesus a Band To Watch on the strength of their album The Whole Thing Is Just There. So it was exciting news when, last month, the group announced a followup, Welcome To Conceptual Beach. Along the way, the band has shared “Root And Crown” and “(un)knowing.” Now that the […]
