Camp Trash, the emo-power-pop band whose members include sometimes Stereogum contributor Keegan Bradford, have a new album coming at the end of the month called Two Hundred Thousand Dollars. After priming the pump with “Signal Them In,” they announced the record with the nice single “Between The X’s.” Today they’re back with another one called “Believer Now/Rosebowl ’98.”

Darkside, the psych/electronic band founded by Nicolás Jaar and Dave Harrington, expanded to a trio for this year’s Nothing with the addition of drummer Tlacael Esparza. We named it our Album Of The Week back in February and then talked to the group for our electronic music column Crossing Wires in May. Today they’ve got a new post-album single out, and it rules.

Get comfortable. Find yourself a throw pillow or a nice beanbag or something. Really get yourself into the relaxation zone. You’ll be glad that you did, since there’s a new Steve Gunn track out this morning.

Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore have collaborated a bit over the years, and now the two ambient artists are teaming up for a joint album. Tragic Magic arrives early next year, and “Melted Moon” is a fluttering, surreal preview out today.

Sunn O))), baby! You know them! You might love them! You definitely respect them! The robed Seattle wraiths have been making stretched-out, uncompromising drones for a very long time, and they’ve just announced a new deal with Sub Pop Records. The same label released Sunn O)))’s 2023 tracks “Evil Chuck” & “Ron G Warrior” as part of its Singles Series. Along with the contract, Sunn O))) also have a new 12″ EP, and it’s already out in the world.

Chattanooga’s Gumm make fiery, passionate hardcore punk that calls back to the some of the great DC bands of the ’80s and ’90s, and they’re getting ready to drop their new LP Beneath The Wheel on Halloween. Lead single “New From The Pain” was one of our favorite songs of the week. Now, Gumm have followed that song with the searching, self-doubting new track “All Gone.”

Last year, French pop star Yseult called out copy-and-pasting wannabes on her spiky hyperpop track “Bitch You Could Never.” Now, she’s calling out real creative teams for doing the exact same thing with the single’s music video, which was directed by Marita & Shadrinsky. In a series of tweets, Yseult noted that the visual for “DAMDADI” by K-pop artist R.Tee featuring Soyeon directly rips off her video for “Bitch You Could Never,” pointing out the many frame-by-frame similarities. In response, K-Pop stans are attacking the French pop artist.

Dua Lipa is on the ’90s alt-rock bullshit right now. She’s been singing a different cover at every show on her current tour, and sometimes those covers involve surprise guests like Gwen Stefani and Lenny Kravitz, as well as non-’90s alt-rockers like Lionel Richie. On Sunday night, Lipa played San Francisco’s Chase Center, and she did it all again, bringing out Green Day leader and local hero Billie Joe Armstrong.

It was just too perfect: Paul McCartney’s Got Back tour would be coming to my parents’ nearest big city just days before my dad’s 70th birthday. My dad, especially as he gets older, has never been all that interested in celebrating his birthday. He’s a reluctant gift recipient, but his favorite ones tend to be unremarkable and practical — socks, an LED flashlight, a six-pack of his preferred craft beer. I’ve never seen him as excited for his own birthday or as eager to accept a birthday gift as he was when I told him I’d be taking him to see Paul McCartney at Albuquerque’s Isleta Amphitheater.

Chicago indie rockers Cusp are a few days away from releasing their new album What I Want Doesn’t Want Me Back, and we’ve already posted their singles “Follow Along” and “Oh Man.” Before the LP arrives, Cusp have shared one last track. It’s called “In A Box,” and it has nothing to do with Alice In Chains. Instead, it’s a warm, ecstatic jam with hints of math-rock and psychedelia in its groove. Cusp’s Jen Bender describes the song as “a reflection on [my] persistent inner conversations about comfort, art, and purpose — and questions what impact art can have if the artist feels trapped in a box of their own making.” Listen below.
