Electroclash will never die. We seem to be entering a new golden age of glamorous people in severe makeup reciting deadpan lyrics over bloopy drum-machine beats. Ideally, an entirely new generation will get to use tracks like those as soundtracks to their worst decisions. Erin Hoagg, the Baltimore-born and New York-based artist who records as…

At the beginning of the year, Boston post-hardcore band the Saddest Landscape announced their return with a new album Alone With Heaven, their first in over a decade. We’ve already heard a few from the project, which is out next month, including “From Home They Run,” “Hexes,” and “Forever, Undone.” Today they’ve shared another preview of…

For the past few years, rap great Danny Brown has been collaborating heavily with underground hyperpop producers. He loves that stuff! Those collaborations built up to the release of Stardust, the album that Brown released last year, but they didn’t end there. Now, Brown’s got a new collaboration with an artist who I’d never heard…

Apparently last year some podcaster called Cheekface “the most irritating band in indie rock right now.” The LA trio is owning that description as they barrel into their latest era. A few weeks ago they dropped new single “Hostile Street,” a bass-popping, synth-streaked iteration of their talky, neurotic-comedic party-time rock. It turns out that was…

Ella Williams, the Chicago singer-songwriter who makes emphatic indie rock as Squirrel Flower, is back today with a new one-off single. “Wheels” harks back to classic Americana ballads — or as Williams describes it, “the voices and sounds of my childhood” — and it was heavily inspired by Trio, the 1987 collaborative album between Dolly…

The fiercely beloved and endlessly energetic hardcore elders Terror are about to have a big year. They deserve one. Terror are nearly a quarter-century into their run, and they somehow manage to consistently kick ass. Next month, they’ll release their new album Still Suffer. Nails frontman and former Terror guitarist Todd Jones produced the record,…

Every time I see someone posting about Gelli Haha, they seem smitten. The electronic pop singer’s personality (smartly promoted as “somewhere between Studio 54 and Area 51”) glows just as brightly as her music’s neon new wave artifice, so debut album Switcheroo made her a lot of fans last year. With the release of a…

Miki Bereyi used to lead the great UK shoegaze band Lush, and now she’s hard at work with her new band, Miki Berenyi Trio. Last year, they released their debut album Tripla and the follow-up single “Doldrum Days,” and they embarked on what will probably be their first and last North American tour, since Berenyi…

Gone are the albums of knights and dragons
Gone are the kings and queens of Camelot
We’re going to Hel
We’re dying to be someone on a road to somewhere
This album is what happens when we expire
This album is a banned four loko
This album is the burger king on Columbus st
This album is Purgatorio
This album will make you sing songs of praise
Heavy is the head that wears a hat
We hope you like and savor the flavors of heaven
as we walk together hand in hand
as saxophones whine and trumpets pound
Kick me out and put a hole in my head
We’re going home, Sally

’90s pop-alternative fixtures Eve 6 and Fastball are going on tour together, and they made a funny video to promote it. More specifically, Patrick Stickles made the video. The Titus Andronicus frontman — whose fans are definitely devoted, no matter what Ian Cohen says — directed the lo-fi clip, which emphasizes the value of an Eve 6/Fastball co-bill. Whereas many ’90s nostalgia tours will only afford you two or three hits, this one presents you with six. See for yourself:
