The Los Angeles Issue

The Dirty Nil, The Lash
Harrowing and fun in equal measure, the Ontario groups’ fifth record is a deliberate return to their raw punk ’n’ roll roots with a newfound sense of vulnerability lying beneath all the noise.

Nick Drake, The Making of Five Leaves Left
Meant to tell a deeper story behind the songwriter’s 1969 debut, each demo, outtake, and alternate version on this 4-LP set radiates the piecemeal feel of a novice grasping his way through a new endeavor.

Stars of the Lid, Music for Nitrous Oxide [30 Year Anniversary]
Released for the first time on vinyl, the Austin drone duo’s dark, raw debut elicits awe, wonder, and terror all at once as it confronts listeners with the darker aspects of existence.
Mike LeSuer

Thom Yorke, The Smile
Alvvays, Weyes Blood, King Krule, and Kelela are among the other artists rounding out the lineup for the Chicago fest scheduled for the weekend of July 21.

With the band’s eighth and final LP turning 35 last week, how come no one born after 1988 seems to be aware of it?

The Mississippi-based songwriter shares her third single since signing with Big Legal Mess last year.

The track arrives with news of her debut album Don’t Take My Dream Away, arriving May 19 via Danger Collective.

The visual was inspired by David Bowie’s star turn in Nicolas Roeg’s 1977 cult sci-fi.

The Funs’ Jessee Rose Crane and Philip Lesicko will release their self-titled debut under the new moniker on April 14 via Born Yesterday Records.

Before returning to SXSW under his rap moniker, Buress shares a new version of his 2022 single.

Andrews’ fourth album Love for the Underdog arrives April 28 via Woodsist.

The Chicago trio’s new track is the latest from Fire Talk Records’ Open Tab imprint.

The La Luz vocalist’s sophomore solo record is out now via Hardly Art.

The track lands ahead of Husband’s upcoming tour of the Western US following a stint at SXSW.

The City Mouth–featuring single follows the pop-punk outfit’s 2020 LP Home Remedy.

With the album originally released in November, the latest visual was created by Cloakroom’s Bobby Markos.

Kicking off June 4, season six will claim Diplo, Rico Nasty, Tinashe, Lil Yachty, and more as victims.

Hopefully somewhere right now Bill Callahan is prepping a track called “Indigo De Souza.”

The new track lands with a set of headlining dates to follow the band’s appearance at SXSW.

The clip complements the single which is set to appear on Matthew Robert Cooper’s new album (Whirring Marvels In) Consensus Reality, arriving May 12 via Temporary Residence.

Patrick McDermott and Barry Walker’s new LP Long Cool World is out April 7 via Third Man Records.

Christian and Louie Baello share the set of songs they’ll have on repeat as they set off on their North American tour later this week.

On its tenth anniversary, Mark Perro discusses how the NYC guitar-rock group’s 2013 LP paved the way for the band to open up their sound.
