M(h)aol, Something Soft
On their second LP, the Dublin trio weave through belligerent post-punk and quasi-industrial aesthetics, manipulating song structures and having fun with atonal soundscapes.

Ezra Furman, Goodbye Small Head
A glitchy folk-punk opera like a pastoral take on Lou Reed’s Berlin, the songwriter’s quivering-yet-empowered latest sees her knocked down—but never knocked out.

Youth Code, Yours, with Malice
The EBM duo continues to test new waters with their debut EP for metalcore label Sumerian, inviting experimentation on each of these five bone-rattling recordings.

The band’s new album TANGK will be released on February 16 via Partisan Records.

Packaged with new artwork and a single bonus track, the main argument for this reissue’s existence is introducing Rashad to a new generation of dance, rap, electro, house, juke, and, yes, footwork fans.

Other artists set to perform at the SLC fest include Joanna Newsom, Interpol, and Wu-Tang Clan.

The track arrives ahead of a new Marianne Faithfull tribute compilation landing this Friday.

The song will be featured on a forthcoming album, according to an Instagram post from the Big Thief frontperson.

The Kansas-based production company is run by photographer Shawn Brackbill and Get Up Kids’ Rob and Ryan Pope.

The shoegaze legends’ first LP in nearly seven years will arrive March 8 via Fuzz Club.

The track is featured on the Chicago emcee’s latest album.

The Hives
“Imagine a world where The Hives are playing every city all the time. That’s a world we want to live in,” the band wrote on Instagram.

Other artists set to perform at the Barcelona fest include Pulp, FKA twigs, Mitski, Charli XCX, and The National.

Arriving with a music video, the song was produced by the two artists alongside Sega Bodega.

On his ninth studio LP, the veteran emcee offers a parodical look into the corporate mealy-mouthed hollowness that has enveloped so much of our culture.

The group is currently performing a residency at The Garage in London.

It’s part of a bigger reproductive rights campaign of art actions that Pussy Riot is launching in 2024.

The Irish rap trio has also announced a slew of 2024 North American tour dates.

Both tracks are accompanied by videos directed by Ben Mehlman.

New Blue Sun will arrive this Friday, November 17.

Zach Condon discusses how the Norwegian municipality that lends its name to his first LP since canceling his Gallipoli tour in 2019 plays into a new era of healing and self-discovery.

Said TLE founder Jared Mees of the signing, “Nisa is the best kind of enigma. Her songs are complex yet catchy.”

After playing the Foos’ But Here We Are single together on SNL last month, a 7-inch double A-side of the studio recording will arrive on December 29 following its digital release this Friday.
