Converge, Hum of Hurt

Released just a few months after the more metal-leaning Love Is Not Enough, the Boston group course-corrects by balancing the scales with hardcore on their second LP of 2026.

horsegiirL, Nature Is Healing

The debut from Berlin-based enigma Stella Stallion is a dance record filled with synths, heavy bass, and the traditional beeps and bloops—yet somehow it also feels organic and alive.

Bedouine, Neon Skin Summer

Flowing out of a period of stillness, Azniv Korkejian’s fourth LP dusts up a world of childhood innocence as it diverges from the folk-pop tradition—and her own catalog—of lovelorn intensity.

Flying Lotus is back with his first new Captain Murphy material in a decade. Featuring production by Little Snake, another artist on FlyLo’s Brainfeeder roster, “Mudhole” will be featured in stunt-choreographer-turned-director Kenji Tanigaki’s new martial arts film The Furious, which set to hit theaters next weekend.

The track’s visualizer features imagery made by Adam Fuchs, the longtime Adult Swim animator who helped create the original aesthetics surrounding Captain Murphy when Flying Lotus first began teasing the then-anonymous project back in 2012. Check out “Mudhole” below.
