It’s been a little over a year since we last heard from fanclubwallet with the Our Bodies Paint Traffic Lines EP. The indie-pop project of Ottawa’s Hannah Judge is back today with the addictive new song “Cotton Mouth.”

Some artists have been releasing half of their album in singles, and that includes Dream, Ivory, who are back today with “Tangerine Dream,” their sixth (!) preview of When You Come Back I Have So Much To Tell You. The tune is a gauzy, immersive earworm.

Lots of bands are splitting ways with their drummers lately, but in March Mastodon had it worse by losing their longtime lead guitarist and vocalist Brent Hinds. The statement made the situation seem amicable, but now the former member is suggesting otherwise.

Jonathan Richman has announced his new album Only Frozen Sky Anyway, the follow-up to 2021’s Want To Visit My Inner House?. The Modern Lovers founder is sharing the lead singles “O Guitar” and “I Was Just A Piece Of Frozen Sky Anyway” today.

Slow Crush’s new album Thirst is on the way, and the Belgian shoegaze band previously previewed it with the dark earworms “Thirst” and “Cherry.” Today they’re offering another taste with a towering epic with the fittingly melodramatic title “While You Dream Vividly.”

Last month Anthology Recordings announced Maybe I’m Dreaming, the newest compilation of private press gems to follow recent ones like 2021’s Still Sad and 2019’s Sad About The Times. They shared the Watson Brothers Band’s “Just Whistle,” and today they’re back with “Let The Light Slip” by Peter Kraemer.

Who doesn’t love Fontaines D.C.? The Irish post-punks might be one of the biggest and most universally beloved rock acts we’ve got around these days. They publicly feuded with Oasis, had a music video starring Barry Keoghan, were covered by Porter Robinson, featured on the latest Hinds record, and are friends with Little Mix’s Jade. It looks like another pop star is a fan of them, too: Olivia Rodrigo, who covered their Skinty Fia track “I Love You” in the group’s hometown of Dublin tonight.

The concert etiquette crisis continues. This is a new one: An audience member at Germany’s Hurricane Festival over the weekend was shooting Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong with a water gun throughout the performance. The frontman halted “Jesus Of Suburbia” to shout at the perpetrator.

A few days after Memorial Day, the synth-powered Montreal indie-poppers TOPS came back strong with “Chlorine,” the lead single from their new album Bury The Key. Those TOPS types have another tune for us today, a hard-charging number called “Falling On My Sword.” Informed by band member David Carriere’s love of hardcore, this one has more aggressive guitar action than your average TOPS song, but it doesn’t go racing out of the sonic universe they’ve worked so hard to establish over the years.

Joy Orbison and Overmono love to collaborate. The UK electronic acts have previously joined forces on songs like “Blind Date” and “Bromley,” and now they’re back with another called “Lippy,” which features Montreal rapper Skiifall.
