Miki Bereyi used to lead the great UK shoegaze band Lush, and now she’s hard at work with her new band, Miki Berenyi Trio. Last year, they released their debut album Tripla and the follow-up single “Doldrum Days,” and they embarked on what will probably be their first and last North American tour, since Berenyi…

Gone are the albums of knights and dragons
Gone are the kings and queens of Camelot
We’re going to Hel
We’re dying to be someone on a road to somewhere
This album is what happens when we expire
This album is a banned four loko
This album is the burger king on Columbus st
This album is Purgatorio
This album will make you sing songs of praise
Heavy is the head that wears a hat
We hope you like and savor the flavors of heaven
as we walk together hand in hand
as saxophones whine and trumpets pound
Kick me out and put a hole in my head
We’re going home, Sally

’90s pop-alternative fixtures Eve 6 and Fastball are going on tour together, and they made a funny video to promote it. More specifically, Patrick Stickles made the video. The Titus Andronicus frontman — whose fans are definitely devoted, no matter what Ian Cohen says — directed the lo-fi clip, which emphasizes the value of an Eve 6/Fastball co-bill. Whereas many ’90s nostalgia tours will only afford you two or three hits, this one presents you with six. See for yourself:

Since 2022, Mary In The Junkyard have been making what they describe as “angry weepy chaos rock.” Today, the UK trio is finally announcing their debut album, Role Model Hermit, arriving this summer. The lead single “Crash Landing” is here now. “It’s about fear and how men often rely on keeping their emotions secret, and…

Spencer Krug has been enjoying a fun little zeitgeist moment thanks to Heated Rivalry‘s prominent use of Wolf Parade’s “I’ll Believe In Anything.” But now it’s back to new music. Krug is back today with news of a new album, Same Fangs. It’s coming in May via his own Pronounced Kroog label, and lead single…

Jay-Z, whose last solo album arrived nearly a decade ago at this point, is still relevant as ever. This May he’ll be performing with the Roots as the headliner of their annual Roots Picnic, and in July he’ll be playing three hometown shows at Yankee Stadium: One celebrating the 30th anniversary of his debut album Reasonable Doubt, one for 25 years of The Blueprint, and a newly-announced third “Extra Innings” show that we’re assuming will compile his greatest hits from other albums. Sounds like it’s a good time for Jay to sit down for an interview.

The alto saxophone has long been the instrument of choice for many of jazz’s most forward-looking players, composers and conceptualists. Charlie Parker, Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy, Anthony Braxton, John Zorn, Greg Osby: all alto players, all musicians who stretched the boundaries of jazz at times to the breaking point.

Miami XO released “Bazooka” in the final days of 2025, and it’s pretty clearly the meme rap song of 2026 so far. Produced by fellow unknown Slxwly, the independently released trap single lasts less than two minutes and gets to the point pretty quickly:

Around these parts, when we refer to an artist as “twigs,” we’re almost always referring to FKA twigs. On a slightly less recurring basis, we’re referring to the retro-pop rock band the Lemon Twigs. We’re almost never talking about the Twigs, the alt-pop duo of twin sisters Laura and Linda Good. Back in 2014, the Twigs (the band) filed a trademark claim against twigs (the singer), before dismissing the case “voluntarily” not long after.

It’s the song “Lifeloose” by the band Lifeloose, from their album Lifeloose. Except no, that last part isn’t true. There is no album yet. I’m projecting. But the London electroclash duo Lifeloose, who have evidently played a whole lot of live shows around the UK in the past year, just released their debut single. By…
