Lily Konigsberg is releasing her debut solo album, Lily We Need To Talk Now, at the end of the month. We’ve heard two jams from it so far, “That’s The Way I Like It” and “Sweat Forever,” and now we’re getting a third, “Proud Home.” “This song was inspired by a fictional story I made […]
Deap Vally – “Magic Medicine”
Los Angeles garage-rock duo Deap Vally — aka Lindsey Troy and Julie Edwards — have announced their third studio album, MARRIAGE, arriving November 19 via Cooking Vinyl. It follows 2016’s Femejism and this year’s Digital Dream and American Cockroach EPs (not to mention their 2020 LP with Flaming Lips, Deap Lips) and features collabs with […]
Listen to Big Thief's Intimate New Song 'Change' –
Big Thief unveiled their latest single, “Change.” The band previewed the warm, intimate song at the recent Pitchfork Music Festival during their set. “Change” follows three recently released Big Thief singles, “Little Things, “Sparrow,” and “Certainty.” If a band could define wholesome, Big Thief takes the crown. Even the cover art for the new singles, […]
The Dodos – “With A Guitar” & “Pale Horizon”
The Dodos are releasing their new album Grizzly Peak, their first full-length since 2018’s Certainty Waves, next month. The duo announced the record last month by sharing the tracks “Annie” and “The Surface.” And now they’ve given us another two tracks, “With A Guitar” and “Pale Horizon.” As Meric Long explains: Making this record was […]

Eartheater – “Scripture”
A year ago, Alexandra Drewchin, the impossible-to-categorize musician who records under the name Eartheater, released her album Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin. Since then, Eartheater has had a whole lot going on. Grimes has been teasing an Eartheater collab on her mysterious forthcoming album. Eartheater also recently appeared in Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty […]
Anaïs Mitchell – “Grace Cathedral Hill” (The Decemberists Cover)
The time is drawing near for us to revisit the early Decemberists era. Next year the bookish and occasionally proggy Portland folk-rock band’s debut album Castaways And Cutouts turns 20 years old this coming spring, and you better believe I’m gonna reflect upon it when the time comes. But thanks to Kill Rock Stars’ 30th […]
Flock Of Dimes – “Through Me”
The always well-curated Adult Swim Singles series continues today with a new one from Flock Of Dimes. Between this project, her output with Wye Oak, and her work with Bon Iver, Jenn Wasner has been prolific in recent years, so it’s amazing she still has hot tracks like “Through Me” sitting around. But she does, […]
Stream Spiritual Cramp’s Excellent New EP Here Comes More Bad News
San Francisco’s Spiritual Cramp make nervous, urgent, wiry punk rock, and they’re extremely good at it. For the past few years, the band has been silent, but if you’ve seen their live-in-studio cover of the Hives “Walk Idiot Walk” — recorded for last year’s Save Stereogum Zoom party and recently shared with the rest of […]
SeeYouSpaceCowboy – “Intersecting Storylines To The Same Tragedy” (Feat. Underoath’s Aaron Gillespie)
Earlier this year, the theatrically messy San Diego post-hardcore band SeeYouSpaceCowboy got together with the metalcore supergroup If I Die First to release the split EP A Sure Disaster. Next month, SeeYouSpaceCowboy will follow that EP with their sophomore LP The Romance Of Affliction. Knocked Loose guitarist Isaac Gale produced the album, and we’ve already […]
