We can always count on Hurry for some wistful, jangly goodness, and the Philly power-pop combo learned many of their most powerful tracks from genre champions Teenage Fanclub. So it’s quite pleasant to hear Teenage Fanclub’s Gerard Love pop up on the latest single from Hurry’s Zoned Out. Hurry announced the album last month and…

Way back in the ’00s, New York’s Parts & Labor made a version of smeary, psychedelic warehouse noise-rock that actually rocked, like with riffs and choruses and stuff. After breaking up in 2012, Parts & Labor are back, with their new album Set Of All Sets dropping next month. We’ve already heard the 20-minute, four-part…

Earlier this month, M.I.A. was removed from Kid Cudi’s Rebel Ragers tour after reportedly delivering a series of politically charged onstage comments. She’s now suing Cudi for ousting her from the tour. The 33-date tour was expected to pay her $2.8 million, and her contract allegedly granted her full creative control over her set. On Friday, May 29, M.I.A. filed a complaint in a California federal court claiming she was dismissed as part of a publicity stunt for a tour struggling with ticket sales.

Last night, Jay-Z reunited with The Roots at their annual festival, Roots Picnic. It was his first festival show in seven years, and he did not hold back. He played a career-spanning 35-song set and brought out a ton of special guests, including Jazmine Sullivan, who joined him to sing “Feelin’ It” and also performed her own song “Need U Bad,” Bilal for “No Church in the Wild,” and Peedi Crakk, Freeway, and Beanie Sigel for “Gotta Have It,” “Roc the Mic,” “The R.O.C,” and “What We Do.” Meek Mill joined him onstage to perform “Dreams and Nightmares,” and Young Gunz came onstage for “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop.” The performance also opened with a thorny freestyle that took jabs at Drake, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, among others.

Peter Gabriel’s lunar journey continues. The latest song from o/i, his forthcoming album in which he releases a new song every full moon, is called “A Hard Lesson.” It’s the oldest song on the project, having originated in the late ’80s or early ’90s while he was in Senegal.

On Friday, IDM legends Boards of Canada released Inferno, their first album in more than 13 years. The same day also marked the release of the highly anticipated A24 feature Backrooms, adapted from the viral YouTube series that was born from a 4chan meme inspired by a haunted yellow-walled room. As it turns out, the two projects share more than just a release date: “The World Becomes Flesh,” a track from Inferno, plays during the film’s end credits.

So far, Morris Day And The Time, Young MC, Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, and the Commodores have all dropped off the lineup for Donald Trump’s Freedom 250 concert series called the Great American State Fair, which is (was?) slated for this summer at the National Mall. Now Trump has reacted to the controversy on his weird-ass Truth Social platform, complaining about the “third rate ‘artists'” who pulled out of the bill.
