I don’t know about you, but Hana Vu’s got a new song called “22,” and everything will be all right if you keep it next to yoouuu. Look. What do you want from me? There’s a new Taylor Swift album coming out in two days, and I’m going to have to review it right away because that’s how online music criticism works. It’s fine. I’m used to it. I’m a tortured critic, and perhaps there should be some kind of department for me. But if Hana Vu’s team did not want me to throw a bunch of Taylor Swift references into this blog post, then they should’ve picked a different day to drop a new song called “22 ..read more

Joe Agius, the Australian musician who records under the name Rinse, happens to be married to Harriette Pilbeam, the indie-pop star known as Hatchie. Rinse and Hatchie have worked together a bunch over the years, and Hatchie has appeared on some of Rinse’s past singles, like 2020’s “Back Into Your Arms” and “Does It Feel Like Heaven?,” which just came out a few weeks ago. Now, they’ve got another one ..read more

Annie Clark is course-correcting. She’s not pulling the classic rockstar move of readily disowning that last record people didn’t like so much and promising the new one is way better. Nevertheless, you can hear that sentiment at work on All Born Screaming, her seventh album under the St. Vincent moniker. After a career of transformations yielded a rare misstep in 2021’s ..read more

The adventurous UK producer and former PC Music ringleader A. G. Cook is getting ready to release Britpop, a new three-part album with some serious lore behind it. Thus far, Cook has shared “Silver Thread Golden Needle” and the title track, which features Cook’s frequent collaborator Charli XCX. (Cook also worked on Charli’s recent singles “Club Classics” and “B2B.”) Now, Cook has also dropped the new track “Soulbreaker” on us ..read more

Last month we learned that Ryan Kattner, aka Honus Honus, would be releasing a new Man Man album called Carrot On Strings this summer via Sub Pop. Today he’s followed up the rather Spoon-y lead single “Iguana” with “Tastes Like Metal,” which arrives with a video by Joe Cappa. In the clip, starring Dax Flame, the light and jaunty pop tune becomes the soundtrack for a YouTuber’s adventures in pencil drawing on the influence of various substances ..read more

Yesterday I mentioned dragging my suitcase to see Perennial at SXSW because I couldn’t check into my Airbnb yet. The next thing I did that fateful afternoon was to pull my bag across the street to a different bar to see Austin’s own Good Looks ..read more

Modern Color come from Redondo Beach, California, and they’ve mastered the kind of woozy, romantic combination of shoegaze and post-hardcore that’s been all the rage in the last few years. Their Spotify numbers are impressive, but Modern Color continue to operate, pretty much, as an underground band. They’re about to head out on tour with Fleshwater, and drummer Vince Nguyen also plays guitar in Militarie Gun. Today, they’ve announced a new album called There Goes The Dream, set to come out this summer ..read more

Last week, Fontaines D.C. teased a new song with a video of singer Grian Chatten looking quite injured while petting a pig. We assumed a new album from the Irish band was on its way, and we were right. Today, they’ve announced Romance, the follow-up to 2022’s Skinty Fia. Produced by James Ford, it’s their first release for new label home XL. The lead single “Starburster” is out now ..read more

Wilkes-Barre straight-edgers One Step Closer recently wrapped up their triple-headliner tour with melodic hardcore kindred spirits Koyo and Anxious, and now they’re one step closer (sorry) to releasing their sophomore album All You Embrace. We’ve already posted the early singles “Leap Years” and “Giant’s Despair,” and now they’ve got another song for us ..read more
