Back in December, we learned the Dallas psychedelic soul singer/rapper/producer Liv.e was teaming up with veteran jazz drummer and hip-hop producer Karriem Riggins for an album under the name GENA. It’s an acyonym standing for God Energy, Naturally Amazing and also a reference to Gina from Martin, all of which should help you triangulate where […]

The followup to 2023’s Glacial Domination arrives in May, and today the Dallas death metal outfit is unleashing the title track featuring My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way.

Yeat & EsDeeKid Made A Bad Song And Shot The Video At Drake’s Mansion
Is the EsDeeKid thing already over? I hope it’s not. If it was, it was fun while it lasted. Last year, the masked Liverpool rapper EsDeeKid emerged out of the UK underground with a hard, energetic style. He rapped in incredibly short bursts over blown-out, psychedelic lo-fi beats, and he leaned hard into his accent. […]
Angèle – “What You Want” (Feat. Justice)
Belgian singer Angèle, who performed with Phoenix and Kavinsky at the Paris Olympics Closing Ceremony, has linked up with French electro monoliths Justice for a new song called “What You Want.” I think it’s supposed to be sexy and suspenseful, but it’s sort of mediocre. The bass is fuzzy, and the synths are neon-lit, but […]

big long sun Announce New Album love songs and spiritual recollections: Hear “call it a voice”
big long sun are a Brighton-based eight-piece — Mina-Mae Alexander, Jamie Broughton, Ocean Goucher, Zofia Szymanowska, Oliver Parkes, Tom Gregory, Malte Henning, and Robert Smyth — that make “sonic bedroom art rock pop noises … for dreaming.” That last bit is real important to their loose-limbed folk oeuvre. Their latest single “call it a voice” […]
Vroom Vroom Turns 10
Vroom Vroom Recordings/Asylum 2016 “I released some of my favorite music in 2016,” Charli XCX recalled in a recent podcast interview when asked to weigh in on the viral 2016 nostalgia trend that permeated social media early this year. “I released a song and an EP called the Vroom Vroom EP.” Not a lot of […]
GRRL Announces New Album Beetle: Hear “Moire” & “Scatter”
Yesterday I never would have thought I’d want to shake my ass and flail my limbs to something that resembles the anxious flutter of insects wings. But today is a new day. Today is the day I heard GRRL’s new single “Moire,” with its iridescent buzzing and commanding claps. “Moire” is accompanied by another new […]
I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it Turns 10
Dirty Hit/Polydor/Vagrant/Interscope 2016 I didn’t take them seriously. When the 1975 sauntered onto my computer screen with their 2013 debut album, they struck me as another prefab pop-rock boy band along the lines of One Direction or 5 Seconds Of Summer. That’s not to say I disliked Matty Healy and his guys. Just as I […]
Doll Spirit Vessel – “Dumptruck”
Next week, Philadelphia indie band Doll Spirit Vessel will follow their impressive 2023 debut What Stays with a new album called Bow. I don’t have an advance or anything, but it’s shaping up to be very cool. We’ve already posted the early singles “Godless” and “Kissing My Cup.” Today, Death Spirit Vessel share “Dumptruck,” which […]
