Chicago punk-rockers LURK are releasing their debut full-length, Around The Sun, in just under a month. We’ve already posted early single “Crack A Smile,” a big, nasty, energetic riff machine, and today they’re following that one up with the portentously psychedelic new track “Bermuda.” “While we were on tour prior to recording the album, some […]
Ada Lea – “partner”
Next month, Ada Lea is releasing her new album one hand on the steering wheel the other sewing a garden, which separates itself from the pack of a lot of similar folk music being made nowadays by being particularly crisp and well-defined. We’ve heard “hurt” and “damn” from it already and today the Montreal musician […]
CHAI – “Miniskirt”
Japanese experimental pop quartet CHAI just released their new album WINK back in May. And now they’re already back with another new single, “Miniskirt,” released today as the latest installment of Adult Swim Singles’ 2021 series. “Miniskirt” continues the mellower, dreamier path that the band went down on WINK, a subtle electronic groove underpinning soothing […]
Steve Gunn – “Circuit Rider”
Steve Gunn is releasing a new album, Other You, at the end of this week. We’ve heard “Reflection,” “Fulton,” and the title track from it already and today Gunn is sharing one last single, “Circuit Rider.” It’s a warm, folsky ramble that features some contributions from guitar god Bill MacKay. “Strangers gain the strangest payments/ […]
Sleigh Bells – “Justine Go Genesis”
Next month, Sleigh Bells, the party-starting noise-pop duo of Alexis Krauss and Derek Miller, will return with their new album Texis. The group already shared the sugary attack of lead single “Locust Laced,” and they’ve just followed it up with an even more fizzy and chaotic new track. The new single “Justine Go Genesis” is […]
EnkiiE & Tee Wild Take Us On A Blissful Trip To The “Sky”
Emerging American rapper EnkiiE and skilled artist Tee Wild have collaborated on the creation of a feel-good track titled “Sky.” The pair display a unique symbiosis in which their special chemistry translates magically into sound, flow, and groove. Between Hip-Hop, rap and trap, this track encompasses multiple genres while remaining totally authentic thanks to EnkiiE’s […]
La Luz – “The Pines”
This fall, the LA-via-Seattle trio La Luz will release their new self-titled album. The band comes from the indie-pop world, but they recorded the LP with Adrian Younge, a producer who normally works in soul, jazz, and funk. Thus far, the results have been pretty amazing. The early singles “In The Country” and “Watching Cartoons” […]
Explosions In The Sky – “Climbing Bear”
Texan post-rock greats Explosions In The Sky have a rare gift for making things sound a whole lot more epic; Friday Night Lights simply wouldn’t hit the same without their ringing chords. Today, EITS have announced their first soundtrack album since they scored the 2014 David Gordon Green/Al Pacino drama Manglehorn. The band made a […]
Drain – “Watch You Burn”
Last year, just as the pandemic was landing, the Santa Cruz band Drain released their debut LP California Cursed, one of 2020’s best hardcore albums. Drain, who share members with other Bay Area bands like Gulch, play super-aggressive music that never loses its sense of fun. They pull from thrash and from arena-metal like Pantera, […]
Helado Negro – “Outside The Outside”
A couple months ago, Roberto Carlos Lange announce his next album as Helado Negro, Far In, his follow-up to 2019’s This Is How You Smile. We’ve heard the smooth and swirling “Gemini And Leo” from it already and today Lange is releasing “Outside The Inside,” a hushed and contemplative wiggle on which he sings about […]
