Ghost Woman

—

Hindsight is 50/50

—

Despite ‘Hindsight Is 50/50’ being the third album from Ghost Woman in 18 months, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Evan Uschenko believes that this is the first album that “finally captures the true nature of the band”.   The album was recorded mostly live in three days at the analogue Kerwax studios in Brittany, France by Christophe […]

Out Of Phase

—

Friendships often make for great pop adventures: look at Simon & Garfunkel, Hall & Oates or David and Jonathan. It’s the same for Alix and Antoine.   You may have heard of Alix since 2013 under the name Melody says, back then accompanied by her folk guitar, sailing between Paris and London. It was under […]

Beirut

Hadsel

—

Zach Condon returns to announce his first new Beirut album in more than four fateful and reinvigorating years. Out November 10th on his own Pompeii Records, Hadsel is a collection of 12 songs that find warmth and solace in the most extreme darkness, from the severe self-doubt that led to the LP’s creation, to the […]

Egyptian Blue

—

A Living Commodity

—

The rise of any breaking band is a tumultuous experience, and that’s something that Egyptian Blue know better than most. They started out as an escape from small town suburbia, instead losing themselves in hours of ear-splitting, alcohol-induced jam sessions above a jeweller’s shop in Colchester. After relocating to Brighton and signing to new music […]

Konstantin Schimanowski

—

VAILA EP

—

Konstantin Schimanowski is a rising beauty in the noise of a contemporary music landscape that is by now mostly shaped by algorithmic monotony. An auteur, cinephile and mystic, well known in Berlin’s impenetrable art-world, Schimanowskis voice and musical style are instantly unique and once heard impossible to forget.   His upcoming E.P. VAILA is Konstantin‘s […]

The Drums

—

Jonny

—

Somewhere inside of all of us, there’s a place where our deepest hurts forever cry out to be soothed. The way people failed us as children, the jagged cliffs we stumbled down when we went looking for fertile fields — they stay with us, singing through the body long after the initial shock. It can […]

Squirrel Flower

Tomorrow’s Fire

—

An hour south of Chicago, along the shores of Lake Michigan, sits the Indiana Dunes, a protected expanse of shoreline recently designated a National Park. When Ella Williams first visited the Dunes, she was awed by the juxtaposition of its natural splendor within the surrounding industrial corridor of Northwest Indiana. “Every time I go there, […]

Five years after winning the Polaris Music Prize with his ground-breaking debut, Jeremy Dutcher has returned with a moving and radiant exploration of contemporary Indigeneity and his place within it.

Slow Pulp

Yard

—

When the members of Slow Pulp discuss Yard, their second full-length record and first for ANTI-, their vocabulary often defaults to synesthetic imagery and sensation.   “We have so many visual cues for how we talk about music,” singer and guitarist Emily Massey says as she stops herself in the middle of explaining how the […]

La Force

—

XO SKELETON

—

XO SKELETON is the supple, steady, uncanny new album by La Force: a mixture of haunted pop and hot-blooded R&B that glistens at the meeting-point between life, death and love. “In dreams, the dead and living are the same,” Ariel Engle sings on “october,” her voice shimmering. “Maybe that’s why I’m better in the dark.”   “The […]

Oneohtrix Point Never

—

Again

—

The music of Oneohtrix Point Never has always been speculative. Speculative in the sense that each of his albums operates like a space-and-time-bending fiction. This is music as fable, quest, or utopia.   Daniel Lopatin is often known as Oneohtrix Point Never, but has gone by a few other names in the past. His is […]

Leo Blomov

—

L'Ermitage

—

Following in the footsteps of his debut album Carpe Noctem, Leo Blomov’s new album L’Ermitage advocates a withdrawal into oneself, an introspective meditation to which the listener is invited.   Choosing to stop for a moment in order to step back into the century with the necessary distance, and take the time to reconnect with […]

Teenage Fanclub

—

Nothing Lasts Forever

—

The first sound you hear is a sustained feedback note that hangs in the air with the grace of a dragonfly before an acoustic riff spirals out of it, soaring upwards. It’s blissful and sun-soaked, like a late summer haze blurring out all the details on the horizon. When voices join the music, they arrive […]

Guitar luminary + Tuareg folk hero Omara “Bombino” Moctar knows the nomadic life well. Being constantly on the road for his music while also perpetually on the move throughout the Sahel region of Africa is the norm.

Music had always been a shared language between Mark Linkous and his younger brother Matt, and as Mark began work on what he planned to be the fifth Sparklehorse album in 2009, the two of them would talk through his plans for the record. Matt can clearly recall their conversations; Mark’s excitement about the influences […]

Eat the Worm

A couple years ago, while he was working non-stop producing albums for the likes of Angel Olsen, Father John Misty, Billy Strings and Margo Price, there was a moment of epiphany for Jonathan Wilson that arrived, not surprisingly, while he was listening to music.   Specifically, he had stumbled onto a deeply obscure track called […]

Laurence-Anne

—

Oniromancie

—

Laurence-Anne’s musical universe is composed of landscapes. Not only those that surround her, but also the ones she creates when her mind wanders and takes over from reality. They take many forms, but are most often made of haunting melodies, lush synthesizers, synthetic rhythms and hazy textures, all coated with her soft voice capable of […]

Having released her debut album Time almost exactly a month before the world went into pandemic lockdown for two years, Inger Nordvik is looking to make up for those lost days with the release of her second album Hibernation. Following the singles Secret, Go Back and Echo, the album is out today.   Raised on Nordic folk songs and educated at the prestigious Barratt […]

Delirious chatter… clinks of warm cans of beer… Cocteau Twins played at full blast. Lively memories of parties and people live on through This House, the new album from Pale Blue Eyes.

Live At Pioneertown & Santa Fe

Singer-songwriter Daniel Rossen embarked on a unique and intimate tour in support of his critically acclaimed 2022 debut LP You Belong There. He took to the road solo, with no crew or fancy equipment. Armed with just a few acoustic guitars and a small amp packed into his car, he embraced the simplicity and rawness […]

Oscar Lang

—

Look Now

—

As Oscar Lang’s second album hovered into view, the singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist from West London imagined a sound that would blend upbeat 80s grooves, breezy indie-pop and a disco swing. Except Oscar Lang’s second album does not blend upbeat 80s grooves and breezy indie-pop. It definitely does not have a disco swing. A split […]

Balimaya Project

—

When The Dust Settles

—

The Balimaya Project story begins in Harlesden, north west London, when a young Yahael Camara Onono first encountered the Mandé drumming of his West African heritage. Born to a Nigerian mother and a Senegalese father, Camara Onono grew up surrounded by the rhythms of the diaspora, while also absorbing the multi-genre lingua franca of London’s […]

Penguin Cafe

—

Rain Before Seven...

—

A sense of optimism infuses Penguin Cafe’s fifth studio album Rain Before Seven… not the braggadocious, overconfident kind, but more a blithe, self-effacing optimism in keeping with the national character. Even when all signs point to the contrary, it operates within the certainty that things are going to be alright. Probably.   The title comes […]

Supernatural Thing

—

Several times, as I listened to M. Ward’s Supernatural Thing, I asked myself what year it was. Was it 1952, and was I listening to a track from the Harry Smith Anthology? Was it 1972, and was I eavesdropping on the recording session for After the Gold Rush? No, it’s 2023, and M. Ward is […]

J.E. Sunde

—

Alice, Gloria and Jon

—

The first album in three years from Minneapolis songwriter J.E. Sunde—Alice, Gloria and Jon, a sobering but affirming set of 10 twinkling gems—begins with an unapologetic shrug. The drums roll in as if they’re still waking up, followed by bass and synths that showed just because a friend asked them over. The hangdog tone of […]

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

—

PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation

—

In 2019, the questing young dudes of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard cracked open the door that led to full-on thrash-metal nirvana with their concept album Infest The Rats’ Nest. The LP allowed the group to tap into their inner metalhead, to commune with the pre-teen heshers they’d once been. An off-the-cuff experiment, …Rats’ […]

Squid

—

O Monolith

—

Teeming with melodic epiphanies and layered sounds, Squid’s second album O Monolith is a musical evocation of environment, domesticity and self-made folklore. Like its predecessor, 2021’s critically acclaimed, UK number 4 album Bright Green Field, it is dense and tricksy – but also more warm and characterful, with a meandering, questioning nature. “I think we’ve […]

Hagata

Looking up at the sky one afternoon, Maya Kuroki spotted a cloud that looked like it had a bite taken out of it. One word immediately sprung to mind for the vocalist of TEKE::TEKE. “Hagata is a very deep word, something present but also something leftover from someone or something no longer there,” she explains.

—

Chaleur Humaine (single)

—

Nicolas Michaux is back with his new single ‘Chaleur Humaine’, a bright and winning comeback for this deceptively naive song that in three verses and an unstoppable chorus sums up the troubled times we live in. His writing and his voice, recognizable among thousands, seem more relevant than ever. While the future of the climate […]

Andrea Poggio

Il Futuro

—

Andrea Poggio’s writing is persuasive, soberly charming and its methodically carved appearance ends up creating something both peculiar and unexpected.   Listening to ‘Il futuro’ one has the impression of being in front of a record that is at once classic and modern, ancient and avant-garde, in which the author amuses himself, almost pleases himself, […]

Skinny Pelembe

Hardly The Same Snake

—

“I never considered myself a singer before now,” says Skinny Pelembe. Viewing his 2019 debut Dreaming Is Dead Now from a comfortable distance, the Iggy Pop and Grace Jones-approved one-man band recognises its enigmatically murky production as a sort of auditory “squid ink”, aiming to disguise a lack of vocal confidence and to obscure the […]

The Anglo-American duo Baba Ali is back with a second album, Laugh Like A Bomb, due for release on April 28th via Memphis Industries.   “I think a lot of the process of writing this album came from pushing ourselves to our limits to get to the essential idea, and discarding anything that felt superfluous […]

Spencer Cullum's Coin Collection 2

—

Spencer Cullum’s Coin Collection 2, sees the Nashville-based musician step further from the pedal steel and towards center stage. Released on the evergreen Full Time Hobby label, this new collection of tracks is a kaleidoscopic collection of folk, jazz, and pop, cut though with immaculately-rendered songwriting.   Romford to Nashville is hardly the most well-trodden […]

La Maison Magique

This first name with the disappeared “e” that she chose as her standard would have pleased Georges Perec.

Pitou

Big Tears

—

Dutch artist Pitou’s musical awakening came from an unlikely source. From a very young age, she developed an unexplainable interest in classical music – her father would often find her crouched down by the radio, scrolling through stations in search of the sound of orchestras and choirs. From the age of 9, Pitou started singing […]

A much needed aural tonic for an extended emotional hangover, Irish alt-folk artist Ailbhe Reddy is preparing to release her highly anticipated second album, Endless Affair. Inspired by her romantic relationships and her fractured memories of many a fun night spent partying in her early 20s, the record is a tender exploration of emotional resilience […]

Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume ; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds)

—

Yves Tumor shifts, alters, and plays with the boundaries of contemporary art and culture in a boundlessly visceral and authentic sonic signature. With an arc that effortlessly graces rock, psychedelia, and electronica in a constant re-invention of pop music, comparisons only serve as limitations intended to define that which cannot be. Yves Tumor melds restraint […]

Norm, the eighth album from singer-songwriter Andy Shauf, is a shimmering arc with unsettling silences that complete its story, the pop and hiss of a needle on a turntable after the song ends, emptiness like a trap door into something tender and terrifying.

Sometimes calm, sometimes turbulent, a lot of water has flowed since his solo debut Songs from Electric Sky in 2006.

This seems perfectly condensed in this ninth studio album, Sunset Park. The cover […]

Her bandmates from Auckland’s Teen Wolf “were being sarcastic, because when we were on tour I was often looking really dishevelled, and they would joke that I was a princess.”  Chelsea took on the princess title, and complicated it playfully. Hers is […]

When EKKSTACY wrote it, he wasn’t sure if […]

The springy staccato guitar, the vaporized electric keys, the melody seemingly […]

In 2022, Hudson Mohawke cries sugar.
