Almost a year ago, Dovetail released a very beautiful track called “raining here, too.” In the fall, I caught them at New York’s beloved Night Club 101 opening for Ken Park; the two Vassar students wore angel wings on their backs and played dreamy songs that swallowed the whole room. Now, the duo is sharing a new tune titled “if you let me (nsii).”

Billy Strings is a virtuoso bluegrass musician and a giant star in the jammy Americana world. He’s also a big fucking metalhead. Last year, Strings shredded a solo on a medley of re-recorded 1994 songs from tech-death legends Cryptopsy. Now, Strings is preparing for his own Ionia Freak Fair festival in his hometown of Ionia, Michigan, and he’s booked himself an entire metal stage.

Noah Kahan’s been having strange problems lately. Recently the folk-pop sensation was a bit weirded out by Kidz Bop’s cop-friendly cover of his song “The Great Divide.” Now, he’s asking his fans to stop stealing his hometown’s road sign.

We here at Stereogum are stoked for the new Smirk record, Speculative Fiction. Today’s new single, “Going Off To Die,” has us even more stoked. A fuzzy ripper about feeling “like an animal going off to die”? Great in theory, and great in practice.

Some lyrics cut straight through the bullshit and latch onto whatever weird, mystical life force is rattling around inside me. That’s exactly how I feel about “Toxic” from Chicago absurdist punks Cel Ray, the follow-up to “Price of Gas” off their forthcoming album Cel Rayzer.

Houston’s Hew have a soaring, chiming take on classic emo. When they get going, they can really punch me in the heart. The group, which includes a couple of Football, etc. members, will release their new album Your Version in a few weeks, and you’re going to want to hear that one. It’s good shit. We’ve already posted the title track and “Reconciliation.” Yesterday, Hew followed those songs with “Lie In It,” a powerful twinkle of a track. In the video, bandleader Lindsay Minton wanders her hometown. Check it out below.

The Finnish screamo band Alas have spent this decade accumulating a spotless catalog, full of searing, dynamic, abrasive post-hardcore that stays true to its genre while still appealing to those of us who merely dabble in that life. That streak continues with “Epäsymmetriaa,” a new Alas song out this week as part of a split 12″ with Karnabahar. It’s being released by an enormous number of different record labels in various territories worldwide, and it sounds expansive on that global scale. Listen below.
