I don’t have an advance or anything, but it’s shaping up to be very cool. We’ve already posted the early singles “Godless” and “Kissing My Cup.” Today, Death Spirit Vessel share “Dumptruck,” which…

The London shoegaze trio deary impressed us with “Seabird,” the lead single from their debut album Birding. They’re back this week with a non-avian new track. The eight-minute epic “Alfie” is about a different kind of animal: It started as a tribute to guitarist Ben Easton’s family dog. The Slowdive influence is strong on this…

A few weeks ago, Jonny Greenwood and Paul Thomas Anderson were unhappy to learn that some of their work appeared in Melania, Brett Ratner’s recent documentary feature/propaganda piece/expensive corporate favor about current sitting US First Lady Melania Trump. Apparently, the film uses Greenwood’s Oscar-nominates score from the Anderson film Phantom Thread. In a statement, Greenwood and Anderson said that they weren’t consulted on licensing the music and that its use constitutes “a breach of [Greenwood’s] composer agreement.” They asked for the music to be removed. Melania producer Marc Beckman has some thoughts on that.

Modern Woman release Johnny’s Dreamworld in May, and last month they previewed it with the pensive, sprawling lead single “Dashboard Mary.” Today, the London indie rock quartet switch gears with the new track “Neptune Girl.” “This was built off an image of growing up in England, playing in the roads and fields with a friend who…

For an instrumental band, Object Hours sure do have a way with words. The Carrboro, NC trio’s Bandcamp bio ends with this sentence: “We try to keep songs under 25 minutes for your sake.” You learn a lot about the band from that line. It suggests they are ambitious, courteous, hilarious. Or how about their…

In 2023, Miley Cyrus had a huge chart-topping, Grammy-winning comeback hit with “Flowers,” a song that essentially seemed structured as an answer to Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man,” another big hit from a decade earlier. In 2024, Cyrus was sued over the similarity between the two songs — not by Bruno Mars but by Tempo Music Investments, a company that acquired the songwriting catalog of Mars’ collaborator Philip Lawrence. Cyrus tried to get the lawsuit dismissed back then, and her motion was denied. The case remains ongoing, and Cyrus’ lawyers are now making the argument that nobody can own “commonplace tropes in breakup songs.”
