Infant Island are all-in on the screamo revival, and you should be too. The Fredricksburg, Virginia band make music that is atmospheric and pretty and towering and noisy and cathartic all at once, and it fully rules. Their 2018 self-titled album ruled, last month’s Sepulcher EP ruled, and now their newly released album Beneath rules, […]

The UK rapper Slowthai has never exactly been low on energy, but he’s been on an absolute fucking tear lately.

Crew love. Chloe x Halle simply do it drama-free in the video to their new single, produced by themselves.
