We’re a few weeks away from Circuit des Yeux’s new album -io. We’ve heard “Dogma” and “Sculpting The Exodus” from it so far, and today Haley Fohr is sharing “Vanishing,” another epic track that’s cinematic in scope, with piercing strings and a chaotic, explosive chorus. Here’s Fohr on the track and its accompanying self-directed video: […]
IAN SWEET – “f*ckthat”
IAN SWEET released a new album, Show Me How You Disappear, toward the beginning of this year and she’ll tour in support of it early next year. Today, Jilian Medford is sharing a new one-off called “f*ckthat,” a gliding pop song in which Medford squeals and struts her way through a defiant chorus: “Now I’m […]
Wendy Eisenberg – “Analogies”
You might have heard Wendy Eisenberg earlier this year as the fearsome center of the rock band Editrix, but they also make mind-melting music on their own. I first came to Eisenberg’s music through last year’s stunning Auto, and since then they’ve also put out a handful of other releases, including a performance piece called […]
Ross From Friends – “Love Divide”
The rollout for Tread, British DJ/producer Felix Clary Weatherall’s latest album as Ross With Friends, began with last month’s “The Daisy.” It continues today with “Love Divide,” a dreamy yet quirky four-on-the-floor skitter that immediately ingratiated itself with me. This is the kind of artfully deconstructed dance music that maintains its oomph. Take it for […]
Bedouine – “It Wasn’t Me”
Bedouine loves covers. In the past couple years, LA-based singer-songwriter Azniv Korkejian has recorded tunes by Margo Guryan, Ron Sexsmith, Big Star, and Bill Withers plus the folk traditional “All My Trials.” And now she has put her own spin on Shaggy’s immortal 2001 chart-topper “It Wasn’t Me.” Just kidding! Bedouine’s “It Wasn’t Me” is […]
Courtney Barnett – “Write A List of Things To Look Forward To”
Courtney Barnett is gearing up to release her new album Things Take Time, Take Time, and she’s already shared the early singles “Rae Street” and “Before You Gotta Go.” Today, Barnett has followed those tracks with a new single called “Write A List Of Things To Look Forward To.” “Write A List Of Things To […]
The Weather Station – “Better Now” & “Look”
Who doesn’t love the Weather Station? Tamara Lindeman has outdone herself with each successive album, and her latest masterpiece — this year’s Ignorance — has ballooned into a deluxe edition today. The expanded tracklist tacks on live and piano versions of select songs, plus the previously unreleased “Look” and “Better Now.” Lindeman is putting a […]
John Mellencamp & Bruce Springsteen – “Wasted Days”
Over the years, Bruce Springsteen and John Mellencamp have followed roughly similar career arcs. They both debuted in the ’70s and under-appreciated singer-songwriters. They both became stadium-status MTV icons in the ’80s by singing anthemic and synthy rock anthems about common-man struggles. They have both since eased into elder-statesman respectability. Springsteen and Mellencamp aren’t exactly […]

Video: Paper Route Empire, Kenny Muney, Young Dolph “Ashtray”
Stacks! Paper Route Empire is all about the green in their Paper Route Illuminati‘s new video. In the clip, Young Dolph gets in his bag and empties his ashes at a table full of money, while Kenny Muney counts em on a couch in the presence of a few ladies. Nice racks.
