It’s only been a week since we learned Haim were releasing a deluxe version of this year’s long-awaited I quit. Upon announcing the expanded LP, they shared one of three bonus tracks, a new Bon Iver collab called “Tie You Down.” The full deluxe is out today, which means we get two more new Haim songs.

The last time I saw Rancid, my favorite band of all time, I’m pretty sure Lars Fredricksen was wearing a Motörhead shirt. This was not a surprise. He wears Motörhead shirts all the time. He wore a Motörhead shirt on the back cover of Rancid’s 1994 classic Let’s Go, too, and that was his first album as a member of the band. Rancid bassist Matt Freeman has a side project, Charger, that’s pretty much entirely dedicated to sounding like Motörhead. If you’re putting together a Motörhead tribute record, you obviously need a contribution from Rancid. The producers of the new compilation Killed By Deaf obviously understand that, and they’ve got Rancid covering a relatively obscure Motörhead song.

The Maryland rapper and producer redveil is only 21, but he started off young, and he’s already racked up an impressive discography. Earlier this year, redveil released a couple of singles, “square one” and the Smino collab “brown sugar.” Today, redveil has another new single called “mini me,” and it takes him in a different aesthetic direction.

Tell me something. Answer truthfully. When you see the name Anna von Hausswolff, do you think “ecstatic, jazz-influenced nine-minute live-band dance odyssey”? I am asking this because I must admit that this description never once popped into my head. It didn’t even occur to me. You could give me one million tries to describe Anna von Hausswolff’s general vibe, and I wouldn’t land on that phrase once. Today, however, we get to hear Anna von Hausswolff’s ecstatic, jazz-influenced nine-minute live-band dance odyssey, and it’s fucking awesome.

On Halloween we’ll be graced by the 42nd Guided By Voices LP, which boasts the evocative title Thick, Rich And Delicious. The singles so far have also been well-named: “(You Can’t Go Back To) Oxford Talawanda” and “Phantasmagoric Upstarts.” This week we get a more simplistic phrase, “Lucy’s World,” but dang the song is good — one of my favorite GBV tracks in recent memory. Hear it below.

Early next year, Sunniva Lindgård, the Norwegian producer who records under the name Sassy 009, will release Dreamer+, which is apparently her first proper album after various mixtapes, EPs, and assorted remixes. It looks like it’s going to be a big deal. We’ve already heard the extremely sick lead single “Butterflies,” which was one of our favorite songs of the week. Now, Sassy 009 has a new single, and she’s got Blood Orange on this one.

It’s been a couple of years since Matt Cutler, the British producer who makes playful and emotive dance music under the name Lone, released “Triton,” his last single. Today, Lone returns with a new one-off called “Ascension.png.” It’s a good one, even if the title just automatically makes me wonder why Lone didn’t call it “Ascension.jpeg” instead. Quite honestly, fuck a PNG file. I have lost good blog posts because I accidentally uploaded a PNG instead of a JPEG to this website and somehow made my whole computer fuck up.

The world is a wondrous, mysterious place. You never know when you’re going to turn around and discover that the Avett Brothers went off and made an entire album with Mike Patton. At a time when Billy Strings is out here ripping Cryptopsy solos, it might not be that surprising that the Avett Brothers, the big-deal neo-traditionalist bluegrass family act, would want to make a record with Mike Patton, legandary frontman of bands like Faith No More and Mr. Bungle. It’s the sort of thing I can imagine them joking about on the tour bus. But it’s a little more surprising that it actually happened. It did happen. AVTT/PTTN comes out next month.

One person died following a freak accident while evacuating Salt Lake City’s Redwest Music Festival last Saturday. The country music fest was evacuated due to severe weather, and 23-year-old Ava Ahlander was struck by a piece of windblown debris from a nearby construction site as she sook shelter in her parked car. A scaffolding board struck Ahlander and her car, and she was taken to the hospital with critical, life-threatening injuries, where her family confirmed she later died.
