Sometimes a house is more than just a structure. It is a place that holds our desires and taste and the things that we love. It’s both physical space and a dream. Empress Of returns with a silky new single that captures such a building’s many layers. It’s a synth-pop balm where Lorely Rodriguez’ vocals…

Ryan Graham plays guitar in the Albany pop-punk band State Champs and in the LA-based all-star side project Pile Of Love, and he also puts out solo music under the name Speak Low. Earlier this week, he shared the new single “One Good Look,” a spindly acoustic song about the kind of unspoken distance that can creep into a relationship. In the Guadalupe Bustos-directed video, Graham shaves his head on camera. Check it out below.

Electroclash will never die. We seem to be entering a new golden age of glamorous people in severe makeup reciting deadpan lyrics over bloopy drum-machine beats. Ideally, an entirely new generation will get to use tracks like those as soundtracks to their worst decisions. Erin Hoagg, the Baltimore-born and New York-based artist who records as…

For the past few years, rap great Danny Brown has been collaborating heavily with underground hyperpop producers. He loves that stuff! Those collaborations built up to the release of Stardust, the album that Brown released last year, but they didn’t end there. Now, Brown’s got a new collaboration with an artist who I’d never heard…

Apparently last year some podcaster called Cheekface “the most irritating band in indie rock right now.” The LA trio is owning that description as they barrel into their latest era. A few weeks ago they dropped new single “Hostile Street,” a bass-popping, synth-streaked iteration of their talky, neurotic-comedic party-time rock. It turns out that was…

Ella Williams, the Chicago singer-songwriter who makes emphatic indie rock as Squirrel Flower, is back today with a new one-off single. “Wheels” harks back to classic Americana ballads — or as Williams describes it, “the voices and sounds of my childhood” — and it was heavily inspired by Trio, the 1987 collaborative album between Dolly…

The fiercely beloved and endlessly energetic hardcore elders Terror are about to have a big year. They deserve one. Terror are nearly a quarter-century into their run, and they somehow manage to consistently kick ass. Next month, they’ll release their new album Still Suffer. Nails frontman and former Terror guitarist Todd Jones produced the record,…

Every time I see someone posting about Gelli Haha, they seem smitten. The electronic pop singer’s personality (smartly promoted as “somewhere between Studio 54 and Area 51”) glows just as brightly as her music’s neon new wave artifice, so debut album Switcheroo made her a lot of fans last year. With the release of a…
