The song was co-written with Courtney Barnett and produced by Warpaint’s Stella Mozgawa.

The hyperpop pioneer merges worlds in fascinating, surprising ways on her sophomore LP, while still making sure her vision is honored throughout the sprawling project.

The duo’s fifth album, which features Christine and the Queens and production from Daniel Lopatin, will arrive on February 23 via Mom+Pop.

The third full-length from Will Taylor and Nicolas Hill arrives in the wake of their live performance of the album single “Tough Love” with Florence Pugh.

The track will arrive as a double A-side single with “Love Me Do” on November 2.

The duo’s new track is a rare instance in which Alex Tōth stars on lead vocals, with Kalmia Traver serving up harmonies.

“Matt is one of my favorite lyricists and singers of all time, plus he’s in one of the coolest bands ever,” said Wilderado’s Max Rainer.

Assisted by features from MIKE and Vince Staples and some of The Alchemist’s dankest, most blunted beats, the West Coast rapper’s formula here is simple but flawlessly executed.

The track was co-produced by Polachek, Cecile Believe, and Danny L Harle.

The lead single features backing vocals from LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy and Nancy Whang.

The “absurd” song “about bugs” arrives with a video starring the collaborators along with Fred Armisen.
