Last year, two of the most adventurous musicians in heavy music got together to make music that sounded like nothing that they’d ever done before. One of the two members of the duo Dream Unending is Justin DeTore, who’s been in bands like Mind Eraser, Innumerable Forms, and Sumerlands. (Innumerable Forms and Sumerlands both have […]

The Comet Is Coming – “Technicolour”
Today, the eyes of the world have turned to London. That’s what I’ve heard, anyway. I’m not quite sure why that’s happening. My best guess: There’s a lot of cool experimental jazz coming out of that city lately. For instance: We’re about to get a new album from the Comet Is Coming! The London trio […]
Bitter Branches – “50ft Queenie” (PJ Harvey Cover)
Last year, the awesomely misanthropic New Jersey hardcore greats Deadguy finally reunited, playing their first show in 24 years. The Deadguy reunion has continued, but their famously intense frontman Tim Singer also has other stuff going on. A couple of years ago, Singer got together with some other hardcore veterans to form Bitter Branches, a […]
Stream Rosalía’s Deluxe Motomami With Bonus Tracks
Back in March, Rosalía released her long-awaited new LP Motomami, and it’s easily one of the best albums of the year. (We put Motomami at #2 on our half-year list, and I honestly think we might’ve underrated it.) Motomami is a brief and compact record, but we’re getting a longer, more sprawling version of the […]
Soul Blind – “System (Failing)”
The shoegazey, hardcore-adjacent post-grunge revivalists Soul Blind are back with news of a new album. Soul Blind recorded the forthcoming Feel It All Around (Washed Out reference?) this year with the great Will Yip, and they’ll release it in November on Other People Records. Today’s single “System (Failing)” follows last month’s teaser track “Stuck In […]
Norah Jones – “Steer Your Way” (Leonard Cohen Cover)
At this point, the Leonard Cohen tribute album is a hallowed tradition. We’ve had a lot of them over the years. Soon, we’ll get another one. The all-star compilation Here It Is: A Tribute To Leonard Cohen is out next month, and we’ve already posted James Taylor’s version of “Coming Back To You.” Today, we […]
Phosphorescent – “Storms” (Fleetwood Mac Cover)
Throughout this year, under his longstanding Phosphorescent alias, Matthew Houck has been posting covers to the internet. The latest is a run through “Storms” from Tusk, the experimental double album Fleetwood Mac released in 1979 after taking over the world with Rumours two years earlier. Houck maintains the loose, cosmic prettiness of the Stevie Nicks […]
Stream Holy Fawn’s Breathtaking Heavy Shoegaze Album Dimensional Bleed
Dimensional Bleed is finally here. Over the past six months, the new album from Arizona heavy shoegazers Holy Fawn has been promoted with a series of stunning singles, including “Death Is A Relief,” the title track, and “Void Of Light.” Now the full 10-track opus is available to behold, and you’d be foolish not to […]
Video: YG “Alone”
YG 4 Hunnid! YG is ready to leave the streets “Alone” on the latest single off his upcoming album, I Got Issues. On the introspective track, the Compton rapper details the harsh realties of hood and ponders on leaving the fast life for good. YG raps, “But thug for too long and that’s jail time […]
