When Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman kicked off their co-headlining tour back in April, Katie Crutchfield had a surprise: She was pregnant. Crutchfield reportedly introduced her final song of the night by saying, “This is a song about having a baby. This one’s going to hit a little different for me now.” That baby is here now, so it’ll hit even more different in the future.

In 2023, Adéla rose to prominence through The Debut: Dream Academy, the talent competition reality show that spawned K-Pop titans KATSEYE. So far this year, the Slovakian singer has shared “KGB” and “Red Bottoms,” both of which boast pop star appeal and high-profile collaborators like 100 Gecs’ Dylan Brady. Now, she’s announcing her debut album Prima, arriving this fall.

Back in 2024, Bright Eyes canceled a bunch of tour dates, citing frontman Conor Oberst’s vocal issues. At the time, there was plenty of speculation that Oberst was suffering from other problems as well, and he has basically confirmed that speculation. Oberst was having a hard time. These days, Oberst seems like he’s doing much better, playing shows and selling pre-rolls and losing his own lookalike contest. Now, he’s talking about how dark things got for him.

For the past year, RIP Magic — Marco Pini, Felix Bayley-Higgins, Beth Boswell-Knight and Pedro Takahashi — have been routinely dropping singles. It started with “Loot” and “Dox.” Since then, the London underground electronic pop wizards started to gain traction, which led to supporting major acts like Tame Impala and LCD Soundsystem. Their January single “5words” was even produced by James Murphy. They continued their stride with “Screwdark,” and return today with new single “Light Over There.”

The Nashville-based singer-songwriter Nicole Atkins has been making really good music for a long time. It’s the kind of sharp, classicist pop music that’s easy to take for granted, but you shouldn’t do that. Every time I hear a new Atkins song, I’m surprised at how good it is. At this point, I shouldn’t be surprised anymore.

Only two days until Music, Fashion, Film, but Charli XCX isn’t done with the rollout. We got the latest single “Camera” on Tuesday (July 21), but she still has B-sides in store. Previous B-sides are “I Keep Thinking About You Every Single Day And Night” and “Playboy Bunny,” and today she’s sharing the final B-side, “If You Take Away The Music, Then What Has She Got?,” which she debuted in Brooklyn the other weekend.

Mikaela Oppenheimer used to be in the Brooklyn emo band Hello Mary, while Hayden McGarvey is a former member of the Philadelphia shoegaze crew Bleary Eyed. The two of them got to know each other when their bands toured together in 2024, and now they’ve joined forces to form Trusselina, a new duo whose music doesn’t sound anything like their previous two bands.

Wild Pink’s upcoming album Still Coming Down feels a lot like MJ Lenderman cosplay, but can we even be mad about it? It sounds good, and Lenderman himself works on the record, so he must not mind. “500 Is The New 250” — which follows “Round Of Applause At The End Of The World” and “Box Store” — has a man taking a Cybertruck to his favorite bar (poetically called Hard Luck) to bet on his phone and drink alone. That’s a Manning Fireworks guy alright. But that album didn’t have a whole lot of shredding, and this one does. Thank god for that. Check out “500 Is The New 250” below.

The playful and fired-up DC emo duo Origami Angel have been touring hard since the release of their very good 2024 album Feeling Not Found, and they dropped the compilation track “Back To Life” last year. Today, they’ve got two brand new songs, at least one of which is named after a Pokémon reference.
