Drahla, Angeltape

Their sophomore album sees the Leeds-based trio overcoming grief over instrumental flourishes that recall yesteryear while artfully resisting the lure of entering a time machine.

Chanel Beads, Your Day Will Come

Shane Lavers captures the awe and unease of humanity’s impermanence on his debut album of dissociative dream pop.

Couch Slut, You Could Do It Tonight

Leaning into their lyrical strength of expressing life as we know it as a visceral horror story, the sludge-rockers’ fourth album is equally notable for its unexpected instrumental flourishes.

Last year, synth-pop duo Magdalena Bay released one of the best debut albums of 2021, Mercurial World; this year, indie rockstar Soccer Mommy released one of the best album of 2022 so far called Sometimes, Forever. Now, the two have teamed up for a remake of the latter's single "Shotgun."

I wasn't sure we needed another version of the standout track following the recent endearing remake in Simlish, but Magdalena Bay give "Shotgun" a dazzling makeover. And if that wasn't enough "Shotgun" for you, Soccer Mommy also shared a "slowed + reverb" version. Plenty of "Shotgun" to go around.

Listen to both below.
