She was a kid. That’s the first thing I think when I see the Sprained Ankle album cover today. It was probably the first thing I thought when I first saw that album cover in 2015. Baker was 19 years old when she made her debut LP, and she looked younger than that. The record came out shortly after her 20th birthday. (Baker herself turned 30 less than a month ago. Today marks 10 years since the release of Sprained Ankle.) The 19-year-old Julien Baker had done a lot of things. She’d been through addiction and recovery. She’d released an album with her teenage DIY band, and she’d toured house-show venues, with her dad in the car so that the kids in the group wouldn’t get in trouble for crossing state line without a chaperone. She’d almost died in a car accident. But still, she was barely more than a child. View the full article

In May, Foo Fighters fired their drummer Josh Freese. Shortly after, they released a Minor Threat cover and an original song called “Today’s Song.” They hired Nine Inch Nails’ Ilan Rubin and then did a bunch of surprise shows at small venues in September. In October, they joined Bandcamp with a live EP of performances from those gigs, with proceeds going to charity. Now, they’re sharing a new track called “Asking For A Friend” and announcing a North American stadium tour with Queens Of The Stone Age, Mannequin Pussy, and Gouge Away (who were featured on the mixtapes Foos had at the pop-up shows).

Indie fixture Father/Daughter Records is celebrating 15 years of existence with the F/D Fifteen series, in which artists from the label are covering songs by other artists in the catalog. The latest installment comes from mui zyu, who delivered a haunting take on “Astral Plane” from Shamir’s 2017 F/D debut Revelations. What began as an indie-pop/reggae hybrid has been transformed into a shapeless, dreamy ballad that floats along a cloud, pierced partway through by searing electric guitar. View the full article

In 1997, two members of Chicago post-rock innovators Tortoise — Ken “Bundy K.” Brown, also of Gast del Sol, and Doug McCombs, also of Eleventh Dream Day — teamed up with Come’s Chris Brokaw and Rex’s Curtis Harvey to form Pullman, a vehicle for the acoustic-style music that didn’t make sense in those guys’ other bands. Drummer Tim Barnes, who’d worked with people like the Silver Jews and Jim O’Rourke, joined up later. Pullman released their debut album Turnstiles & Junkpiles in 1998, and they followed it with Viewfinder in 2001. Since then, Pullman have been largely inactive, but now they’re getting ready to return with their first LP in a quarter-century. View the full article

If you came out to see the giant North American tour that Turnstile just finished, then I seriously hope you arrived early enough to see Speed, the Australian hardcore monsters who were on board for the whole tour. Speed are one of the best straight-up stomp-around hardcore bands going right now, and they absolutely threw themselves into the task of playing for giant audiences who might not be familiar. Along the way, they released “Peace” and “Ain’t My Game,” two early tracks from All My Angels, the three-song EP that they announced at the beginning of the tour. That EP is out now, which means we get to hear the EP’s title track. View the full article

“Love is not a symptom of time/ Time is just a symptom of love.” This is the line that people seized upon when Joanna Newsom released Divers 10 years ago today. It’s a beautiful koan, one that breaks my brain when I attempt to mine out its implications. And given that Newsom has yet to follow this album up a full decade later, that lyric has perhaps taken on new resonance. View the full article

Almost exactly two years ago, the thoughtful and insular British singer Sampha returned with his album Lahai. Since then, Sampha has shown up on a lot of tracks from other artists, like Everything Is Recorded, John Glacier, and Daniel Caesar. Now, for the two-year anniversary of Lahai, Sampha has released a new two-part single that started out as an unfinished track from the Lahai sessions. View the full article

Charli XCX gave Addison Rae an early boost by appearing on her 2023 single “2 Die 4,” then gave the TikTok dancer-turned-pop star an even bigger boost by featuring her (and her scream) on the “Von Dutch” remix from 2024’s Brat And It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat. The pair have appeared together onstage before, and it happened again Wednesday night in LA. View the full article
