The release slate is stacked. Although Margaret Farrell made a strong case for Sorry’s COSPLAY as our Album Of The Week, this is one of those weeks with many worthy contenders. Fate Euphoric very much belongs in that conversation. View the full article

The Swedish-Argentinian singer-songwriter José González works at his own pace, and he rarely seems to be in much of a rush to put any new music out on the market. González’s last album Local Valley came out four years ago, and that record was his first in six years. Until today, he hasn’t shared any more solo music since then, though he and his band Junip did team up with Sharon Van Etten for a new version of their old song “Line Of Fire” in 2023. Today, González is back with a short, pretty song that he wrote for his four-year-old son Mateo. View the full article

Desperation and delusion are at the heart of Sorry’s COSPLAY. It’s a fitting pendulum swing of emotion that feels like a morning skin routine in 2025. Our pores have adapted to AI slop, a growingly apathetic bureaucracy, and infinite distraction. It’s hard to tell what’s real, easy to feel increasingly cynical, hard to know what deserves our attention, and easy to feel overwhelmed. Dizzying singles “Echoes” and “JIVE” mirror the disorienting overstimulation that defines just about everything, frantically clinging to anything that feels good. On the latter, Asha Lorenz pleads, “I wanna jive tonight/ I wanna swing my hips,” before succumbing to a darker confession: “I don’t want to live like that/ I don’t want to live like this.” View the full article

Way back in 2007, LA punks the Bronx started making music under their self-explanatory alter-ego Mariachi El Bronx. This was an unlikely career move, but it led the band to play on plenty of larger stages. The Bronx are still going strong — their sixth album came out in 2021 — but Mariachi El Bronx have been on hiatus for a minute. The most recent Mariachi El Bronx album (they’re all self-titled) arrived in 2014. But now, Mariachi El Bronx is returning with a fourth LP, and its first single is out today. View the full article

Henry Rollins and Ian MacKaye go way back. Before Rollins led the hardcore punk pioneers Black Flag, he was in the short-lived band State Of Alert, whose 1981 EP No Policy was one of the first releases to come from MacKaye’s legendary Dischord Records. (They also worked together scooping ice cream at a DC Häagen-Dazs shop.) Nowadays, it’s been a long time since Rollins has released new music, and MacKaye’s been focusing on more behind-the-scenes roles. That might change soon, however, because according to Rollins, he and MacKaye have been making new music together. View the full article

The world got a very cool surprise on Friday, one that was entirely unrelated to Halloween. Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield once again teamed up with her twin sister and former P.S. Eliot bandmate Allison. They formed an entirely new band called Snocaps, in which they were backed up by MJ Lenderman and indie mega-producer Brad Cook, and they surprise-released their entire self-titled debut album after just a couple of teasers. Guess what! It fucking rules! Now, Snocaps are getting ready to play their first live shows. View the full article

Back in March, Chrystia Cabral, the Bay Area art-pop musician who records under the name SPELLLING, released her extremely cool album Portrait Of My Heart, one of our favorite records of the year’s first half. One of that LP’s highlights is a vast, dreamy ballad called “Destiny Arrives.” Today, SPELLLING shares a brand-new version of “Destiny Arrives” that features Weyes Blood, someone who knows how to make a vast and dreamy ballad.

As a preview, one of those songs is out today, a newly recorded cover of James Brown’s 1958 classic “Try Me.” View the full article

Based on name alone, you might assume that deathcrash was a 19-year-old rapper who dressed like a bat and whose beats sounded like the modem-connector static noise. Nope! Instead, deathcrash come from the the fertile South London post-punk scene, and they make majestic ’90s-style slowcore. The first two deathcrash albums, 2022’s Return and 2023’s Less, came out during a busy six-minth stretch. Now, they’re back with their first new single in a couple of years. View the full article

The young New York-based singer and producer April Grey makes jittery but confident hyperpop under the name underscores. She’s a prolific collaborator these days, appearing on recent tracks from Oklou, Yaeji, and Danny Brown, and she’s about to join Brown on tour. As for underscores’ own music, her last album was 2023’s Wallsocket, and she seems to have a new one in the works. Over the summer, underscores released a single with the very simple title “Music.” Today, she’s got a new one with the possibly even simpler title “Do It.” View the full article

Philly pedal-mashers Nothing basically deserve credit for kicking off the recent boom in heavy shoegaze, and they’re about to return with new music for the first time in a while. The band’s last non-collaborative album was The Great Dismal, which came out almost exactly five years ago. In the time since then, Nothing teamed up with Full Of Hell for the excellent collaborative LP When No Birds Sing, and they kicked off their series of shoegaze-centric Slide Away festivals. (They’ve got Hum and Chapterhouse reunions coming up at next year’s edition.) Now, Nothing are ready to return with a new LP called A Short History Of Decay, and that appetizing image that you see above is the cover art. View the full article
