In November, Jake Lazovick’s shapeshifting project Sitcom is releasing its sophomore album, Smoothie, the follow-up to 2018’s excellent Be The One You Love. We posted “Gutter” from it a couple months ago and he formally announced the album a few weeks back with “Brain Freeze.” Today, he’s back with another single, the pinched and tinny […]
cumgirl8 – “Pluck Me”
Look. I know. The band name. I know. But I assure you this new song by cumgirl8 is good. It’s called “Pluck Me,” and it’s the latest single from the New York trio’s RIPcumgirl8 EP. The band recorded the four-song project with their frequent collaborator Ben Greenberg — you know, formerly of the Men, currently […]
Ghost – “Hunter’s Moon”
In addition to a new score from horror master John Carpenter, the upcoming movie Halloween Kills will feature an original end credits song from theatrical Swedish metal masters Ghost.

Floating Room – “Shimanchu”
Floating Room is the longstanding project of Portland’s Maya Stoner. For her new EP Shima — set for release this fall in conjunction with Floating Room’s tour alongside Citizen, Drug Church, and Glitterer — she worked closely with producer Mo Troper, whose own new music is very much worth a spin.

Palace – “Lover (Don’t Let Me Down)”
Not to be confused with the early Will Oldham projects that used permutations of the same name, the Palace we’re here to discuss today — the Palace that’s a going concern — is a band out of London making expansive, emotive alt-rock. At the center of their sound is Leo Wyndham’s falsetto, which bears more […]
Grimes Shares New Song “LOVE” In Response To Online Hate
Grimes has been in the news a whole lot lately — for serving on the judging panel of the goofy singing-contest show Alter Ego, for repeatedly defending Elon Musk online, and for no longer being in a relationship with Elon Musk. Clearly, all this attention is starting to wear on her. Today, Grimes has shared […]

Elton John & Stevie Wonder – “Finish Line”
