When we think of Mick Jagger, usually images of dancing around with a mic stand and doing high kicks come to mind. But in a new video that the Rolling Stones singer recorded for last night’s (May 4) episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jagger shows a more slow-paced and rural life. Edited […]
Wire – "The Art Of Persistence"
Wire have a new album of stray recordings and outtakes, 10:20, on the way. Originally scheduled for a vinyl-only release on the now-extremely delayed Record Store Day, the seminal UK post-punk band have since decided to give the LP a full general release on all formats in June. They’ve already shared a new version of […]
Bad Moves – "End Of Time"
Last month, the Washington, DC band Bad Moves announced their sophomore album, Untenable, with the urgent and bouncy lead single “Party With The Kids Who Want To Party With You.” The planned release date of the album has been pushed back a month — to late June — in order to account for a vinyl […]
The Weeknd Performs New Song 'I'm a Virgin' on <i>American Dad</i>
Last month, The Weeknd shared that he co-wrote an episode of the TBS animated series American Dad. Last night, that episode aired and as he promised, a new song was debuted on it.

Young Thug & Chris Brown Release Collaborative Mixtape 'Slime & B': Stream
Young Thug has left his squiggly freeform imprint on entire generations of rap music, and he’s probably one of the most important rappers working today. Last year, Thug released his album So Much Fun, his biggest-ever commercial success, and he fully established himself as part of rap’s A-list. He could’ve done anything after So Much […]
Gordi – "Volcanic"
Australian musician Sophie Payten, who puts out music as Gordi, announced her sophomore album, Our Two Skins, last month. It features the previously released singles “Aeroplane Bathroom” and “Sandwiches” and the new single “Volcanic,” which she’s releasing today. It’s a taut piece of Bon Iver-adjacent pop-rock, which makes sense considering Payten has been involved with […]
Bibio – "Sleep On The Wing"
Stephen Wilkinson’s last Bibio album, Ribbons, came out in April of last year. He’s already back with a followup: Another new Bibio album, Sleep On The Wing, will be out in June. It’s a quick successor that plays with a lot of the same themes and aesthetics of Ribbons, and it’s primarily instrumental album drawing […]
Sonic Boom – "Things Like This (A Little Bit Deeper)"
Next month, indie rock whisperer Peter Kember is releasing his first full-length album as Sonic Boom in 30 years, All Things Being Equal.

Squirrel Flower – "So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings" (Caroline Polachek Cover)
At the beginning of the year, Artist To Watch Squirrel Flower released her very good debut album, I Was Born Swimming. Before all the shit went down, Ella O’Connor Williams was able to tour for a little bit in support of it (though her planned dates got cut short), and as a way to go […]
Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever – "Falling Thunder"
Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever recently announced the impending release of their sophomore album Sideways To New Italy, the followup to their highly addicting debut album Hope Downs. Based on everything we’ve heard so far, it seems as if Sideways To New Italy will deliver again — the band is only further refining their formula, and […]
