Amanda Seyfried & Daniel Blumberg – “Clothed By The Sun”

Amanda Seyfried can sing. That’s not her main occupation. She’s a movie star. But Seyfried’s movie stardom has offered her a few opportunities to show what she can do musically. She was in Mamma Mia, so that’s a big one. As a guest on The Tonight Show earlier this year, she brought out a dulcimer…

Vitesse X – “Memori”

New York electronic producer Vitesse X shared her sophomore album This Infinite in October 2024; a few months later, one of her creative heroes, David Lynch, died. That fragile line between life and death is one of the inspirations behind “Memori,” Vitesse X’s very good new single out today. “Memori” is mostly about death, but…

V.V. Lightbody – “Best Problem”

Chicago-based Vivian McConnell plays music under the name V.V. Lightbody. Today she’s released “Best Problem,” a lovely new single steeped in an easygoing melancholia. Over top of the track’s midtempo soft-rock groove, McConnell addresses an unnamed character: “Is it not the best problem to have? Everyone wants to be with you.” It’s sort of a…

TOLEDO – “Nothing Yet”

The first few lines of New York indie-pop duo TOLEDO’s new song “Nothing Yet” are like the final scene of an indie film: “Driving in your car with a busted lip/ Two cracked knees and my left hand bit/ I cant tell if this is it.” We never get the record-scratch “I bet you’re wondering how I got here” moment, but the whole song works on that sense of confused desperation.

Charlotte Day Wilson – “High Road”

Charlotte Day Wilson appears to be inching toward a new album. Last month the Toronto R&B singer dropped the svelte single “Selfish” upon us. She’s followed up that electronically infused jam today with another new song. “High Road” trades out the uptempo effervescence of the prior track in favor of lush, jazzy midtempo splendor, but…

Watch The Trailer For Mother Mary, Pop-Star Thriller Featuring Anne Hathaway And New Charli XCX Music

Hey, you want to see Anne Hathaway singing a song that Charli XCX wrote specifically for her? Sure you do! That is absolutely something you want to see! I’m pretty sure that’s what happens in the trailer for Mother Mary, the forthcoming A24-produced pop-star thriller from director David Lowery. (This is the David Lowery who made The Green Knight and The Old Man & The Gun, not the David Lowery from Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven.)

Philly Hardcore Rippers Commitment Share Debut Single “Hellraiser”

There’s a good chance that you know Pierce Jordan as the frontman for the chaotic, incisive, generally excellent Philadelphia punk band Soul Glo. Their album Diaspora Problems was one of the best of 2022. Now, Jordan has a new band where he’s the drummer, not the singer. In the new group Commitment, Jordan is joined…

Merce Lemon & Fust – “Cup Of Loneliness” & “Choices” (George Jones Covers)

Merce Lemon and Fust are two of the best and brightest indie acts currently channeling the spirit of the sad-eyed country greats. So the prospect of the Pittsburgh singer-songwriter and the Durham alt-country band teaming up to cover two George Jones songs is immensely appealing. That premise plays out on a new 7″ out digitally…
