Now, Hugo is suing Pharrell, claiming he cut him out of their company and owes him up to $1 million from an N.E.R.D. album.

Philly guitarist Emily Robb is an if-you-know-you-know underground treasure. When I asked Shop Regulars’ Matt Radosevich who he was spinning two years ago, Robb was his reply. She’s put out two albums of noisy, primitive shredding via Pretty Bunco, and today she releases something different. Robb’s soundtrack for the short film The Space Between Attack…

Hawaii-born, Oklahoma-raised musician PawPaw Rod has come a long way since his 2020 debut single “HIT EM WHERE IT HURTS.” Since releasing his 2024 EP Doobie Mouth, it seems Rod has been in an incubating period. He only released one single last year “Safe Spaces,” which had a soothing country twang to it. Today, the…

The recent trashy-fun hit Netflix miniseries His & Hers takes place in the small Georgia town of Dahlonega, which means I kept getting Ashley McBryde stuck in my head when I watched it. This was a good thing. “A Little Dive Bar In Dahlonega” is the kind of song that you want to have stuck…

Franz Ferdinand released their most recent album The Human Fear about a year ago, and they’ve used the intervening time to remind us that they can make anything sound like a Franz Ferdinand song. Recently, they’ve covered Chappell Roan, Britney Spears, and the Smiths (with Johnny Marr). More recently, they visited Australia and paid tribute to their host country with an Amyl And The Sniffers cover.

Three years ago, a Barcelona band called Belgrado released an album called Intra Apogeum on the international DIY punk label La Vida Es Un Mus, and we thought it was cool as hell. Despite their label affiliation, Belgrado weren’t making punk. Instead, their sound and aesthetic was straight out of time, a well-observed and specific…

Roc Marciano makes the same album over and over again, and this is a good thing. Marci was already a veteran who’d been through the music-business wringer when he released his 2010 solo debut Marcberg, the album that basically invented a whole new strain of underground rap. On that record, Marci muttered free-associate fly shit…

John Craigie’s been around. Next month’s I Swam Here will be the Portland-based singer-songwriter’s 10th full-length album. That means those of us popping in now are catching him in seasoned form. I hear echoes of fellow travelers like M. Ward and the late Justin Townes Earle in Craigie’s folk-rock, and the man himself makes the…
