Despite the name, Brooklyn’s Stay Inside are not specifically a pandemic-themed band. They released their debut EP The Sea Engulfs Us And The Light Goes Out back in 2018 — not long ago, in the grand scheme of things, but in a time when COVID-19 only existed in pangolin scales or whatever. Still, if you’re […]

Pure X Announce First New Album in 6 Years, Share New Songs
It’s been a long time (an eternity in the music world, and hell, the world-at-large for that matter) since Pure X last released music. Things were a lot different in 2014, but that doesn’t matter now, now does it? Anyway, Pure X just announced plans to release their new self-titled album on May 1 on Fire […]
David Gilmour Covers 2 More Leonard Cohen Songs in Latest Family Livestream
Last week, David Gilmour performed Leonard Cohen’s “Bird on a Wire” and “So Long Marianne” as part of a livestream with his family to promote his wife’s, Polly Samson, new novel.

Ruston Kelly – "Brave"
Since the release of his stellar debut album Dying Star in 2018, country balladeer extraordinaire Ruston Kelly has given us an EP called Dirt Emo Vol. 1 that stretched the definition of “emo” to include Blink-182, Taylor Swift, and the Carter Family.

Lido Pimienta Shares New Album 'Miss Colombia': Stream
Four years ago, the Colombian-born and Toronto-based artist Lido Pimienta won Canada’s Polaris Prize for her album La Papessa. This week, Pimienta will follow that one up with her new LP Miss Colombia, an album partly named for the famous 2015 gaffe where Steve Harvey messed up and gave the Miss Universe crown to Miss […]
Pure X – "Middle America" & "Fantasy"
When I bought a house in 2014, certain albums instantly became backyard staples. Records like Jenny Lewis’ The Voyager and Real Estate’s Atlas were the perfect soundtrack for sitting on the deck with a beer while the sun went down, easing into adulthood with some idyllic soft-rock from the indie realm. Another favorite from that […]
New Music: Bryson Tiller “Slept On You”
I’m back, baby. Bryson Tiller won’t sleep on the next chick that comes around. With that being said, Pen Griffey works his charm with his present one over a bass-knocking beat by NES. Don’t sleep.
