Last year FLO released their debut album Access All Areas to critical acclaim. Now the British R&B girl group teamed up with buzzy Canadian producer Kaytranada for a steamy yet communicative new track called “The Mood.”

Today the Baltimore Orioles played a home game against the New York Mets. For the “Star Spangled Banner,” Dan Deacon used his electronic flair to make his performance unique.

The Polaris Music Prize released their longlist last month, which contained 40 albums by Canadian artists. Now, the 10 finalists have been revealed as nominees for the award for the best Canadian album. All came out within the eligibility window between April 1, 2024 and May 1, 2025. It includes Saya Gray, Mustafa, Ribbon Skirt, and more.

Meet Total Wife, an experimental-pop duo who’ve been doing this shit since 2016. Luna Kupper and Ash Richter were high school friends and now they’re shredding on shoegaze rippers released by the great Philly label Julia’s War. Today the crew is announcing their new album Come Back Down, and the lead single “second spring” is a hypnotic preview.

A couple weeks ago onetime Brockhampton ringleader Kevin Abstract shared his new solo album Blush. It’s loaded with collaborators, including Dominic Fike, who appears on its lead single “Geezer.” But Blush isn’t the only music Abstract’s been releasing lately: Ahead of Blush‘s release, he shared a tape of demos via his Discord server. Now he and Fike are linking up again, and they’re releasing music together under the moniker Geezer, just like the song. They’re announcing the new endeavor with a single called “Doggy” today, which also features Blush guests Truly Young and Love Spells.

When the Oasis reunion tour kicked off with a pair of shows in Cardiff last weekend, Richard Ashcroft was on hand as the opening act. Both nights, the Verve frontman — the Gallagher brothers’ friend and fellow Britpop-era star — went on second at Principality Stadium following Cast, who are recently reunited as well. In footage from Friday’s concert posted to TikTok, a person in the crowd can be seen using Shazam to identify the song being performed by Ashcroft. That song: “Bitter Sweet Symphony,” the Verve’s Stones-sampling 1997 mega-hit. It seems impossible that someone at an Oasis concert in Wales would need Shazam to identify that particular track, but there she was. A text overlay on the video reads: “DID THEY JUST SHAZAM THE NATIONAL ANTHEM 😩.”

Save for a few one-off remixes, it’s been quite a while since we’ve heard new music from Soulwax, but that’s about to change. The Belgian electronic duo of David and Stephen Dewaele are returning this October with All Systems Are Lying, their first new album in seven years, and they’re previewing it today with a double A-side single: “Run Free” and the album’s title track.

Yesterday, we learned Robert Fripp is working on the first new King Crimson album since 2003. But that’s not all the prog-rock legend has been up to.

Yesterday Matt Cameron, Pearl Jam’s fifth and longest-serving drummer, announced he was leaving the band after 27 years. Fans have been speculating about who could replace him, suggesting axed Foo Fighters drummer Josh Freese and original PJ drummer Dave Krusen, who performed some shows with them a couple of years ago when Cameron got COVID. One drummer it probably won’t be is Dave Abbruzzese.

Field Medic teased his new album surrender instead last month with the lovely, doowop-inspired gem “MELANCHOLY.” Today the indie darling is back with “castle peaks,” a thoughtful ballad about traveling.
