So is the next single from Planet Frog, Bronson’s new LP out this week. “Peppers” pairs him with fellow New York emcee extraordinare Roc Marciano, both of them flexing in their signature styles over…

Mike D Announces Shows Following Viral Performance Of Beastie Boys Songs With His Sons

Mike D with the master plan? A few weeks back the Beastie Boy went viral by performing his group’s stone cold classic “So Whatcha Want” in a surprise appearance with Very Nice Person, the band led by his sons Skyler and Davis Diamond, at the Ojai Valley Women’s Club. He’d guested with the boys two nights earlier at Malibu surf shop Brothers Marshall, but the Ojai show is the one that went nuclear on social media. Now it seems Michael Diamond is ready to put on some proper performances.

Tracey Nelson – “86”

It’s a good thing that Tracey Nelson’s album Hercules is set to come out in the middle of summer. The New York singer-songwriter makes indolent, unhurried music that captures the beautiful indolence of laying around on a day when it’s just too hot to go outside or do anything productive. MJ Lenderman and Colin Miller…

Midrift – “Silhouette”

The hype surrounding Midrift’s Silhouette has been building for a couple of years now. After generating some buzz with early tracks “Twin Flames” and “unrequited,” the young San Francisco shoegazers announced their debut album last month with the promising and punky lead single “over anything.” Today they’re back with the title track, a blast of pure…

Croz Boyce – “Steven’s Sunshine Rejected”

All these decades into their existence, Animal Collective are still spinning off new side projects. A couple of months ago, longtime bandmates Avey Tare and Geologist (or, if you prefer, Dave Portner and Brian Weitz) announced that they’d started an instrumental duo called Croz Boyce and announced their self-titled debut, which comes out later this…

Zoh Amba – “Eyes Full”

Tennessee native Zoh Amba made their name as a saxophonist on New York’s avant-jazz scene, but they’re going in a very different direction on their upcoming album Eyes Full. It’s a twangy, countrified indie rock record, recorded in Asheville with Kevin Hyland on electric guitar and underground legend Jim White on drums. Lead single “Another…
