Radiohead has detailed their triple-album release called Kid A Mnesia, honoring the 20th and 21st anniversaries of their two masterpieces, Kid A and Amnesiac. The reissue set comes out on November 5. In addition to the two reissues, the set will include an exclusive third disc called Kid Amnesiae, which features unheard material and alternative […]
Maxo Kream & Tyler, The Creator – “Big Persona”
In the past few years, it looked like Tyler, The Creator was moving on from rap, embracing strange new space-funk mutations. But on his recent album Call Me If You Get Lost, Tyler was back on his rap shit — so much so that he brought in DJ Drama to yell all over the record. […]
Greet Death – “I Hate Everything”
Back in 2019, the Flint, Michigan band Greet Death released New Hell, an extremely promising album that combined heavy-shoegaze sludge with tender, measured prettiness. The band had big plans after that LP’s release, including an opening spot on Deafheaven’s 10th-anniversary tour, but you know what happened with that. So it’s very cool to see Greet […]
Jade Dust – “Margin Of Error”
A few months ago, the brand-new Santa Barbara hardcore band Jade Dust introduced themselves to the world with a really great demo. Jade Dust, who came together during the pandemic, are fervently dedicated to the sound of mid-’80s DC hardcore, a tributary of the genre that demands fervent dedication. That fabled Revolution Summer moment was […]
Yumi Zouma – “Give It Hell”
The understated pop crew Yumi Zoumi put out their last album, Truth Or Consequences, in March 2020 — not the best time to release an album, in retrospect! — and only got to perform one show on their planned tour before the pandemic called everything off. Their new single “Give It Hell” is partially inspired […]
Amyl And The Sniffers – “Hertz”
Later this week, Melbourne punks Amyl And The Sniffers will release their fired-up sophomore album Comfort To Me. I have heard it, and I can happily report that it kicks ass. Thus far, the band has shared two advance singles, “Guided By Angels” and “Security.” Today, with the album release looming, they’ve shared another one, […]
Radiohead Announce Kid A / Amnesiac Reissue With Album Of Unreleased Tracks
Radiohead are celebrating the anniversaries of Kid A and Amnesiac — which turned 20 last October and last June, respectively — with a three-volume collection called KID A MNESIA. It includes the original two albums and a third called Kid Amnesiae, which features previously unreleased tracks from the Kid A/Amnesiac recording sessions. Today, the band […]
Lala Lala – “Prove It”
Next month, Artist To Watch Lala Lala is releasing a new album, I Want The Door To Open, the follow-up to 2018’s The Lamb. We’ve heard “DIVER” and “Color Of The Pool” from it already and today we’re getting another single, the subtle and spacey “Prove It.” “They think you’re a fantasy/ Doesn’t mean that […]
Spiritual Cramp – “Earth To Mike”
The San Francisco band Spiritual Cramp haven’t put out any new music since their first two EPs were compiled into a 2018 full-length called Television, but today they’re announcing a new EP called Here Comes More Bad News, which will be out in October. (A vinyl version will be available at their two shows later […]
Band To Watch: One Step Closer
My first attempt to reach Ryan Savitski could not have come at a worse time. “Yo man! I’m actually walking into that Green Day / Fall Out Boy concert rn,” the One Step Closer frontman texts back. We got time zones mixed up, but beyond that, shots fired at Weezer. In yet another glaring example […]
