This holiday season, let it FLO, let it FLO, let it FLO. The British R&B girl group is back today with an assortment of new tracks. None of them are Christmas songs, but I couldn’t get the phrase “let it FLO” out of my head. And since we’ve no place to go, you might as…

Nyxy Nyx topped on our own Scott Lapatine’s list of favorite 2025 tracks, and today they’ve added a few more to close out the year. The Philadelphia shoegaze/slowcore band just released a new six-song self-titled record, about which they write the following on Instagram: sup freaks, out now, we have thee NYXY NYX self-titled record,…

We used to get albums like this all the time. Maybe we took them for granted. Rap’s entrenched A-list has really been struggling lately, putting out underwhelming connect-the-dots records and failing to make hits as the pop charts seemingly turn in other directions. There are lots of reasons for that gradual shift, and one of…

Primal Scream played a concert celebrating the 25th anniversary of their album XTRMNTR Monday night at Roundhouse in London. Per The Guardian, during their performance of XTRMNTR track “Swastika Eyes,” a video played in which a swastika was displayed inside a Star of David. The image was then superimposed over the eyes of political leaders including Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US president Donald Trump, and UK MP Keir Starmer. The video also included images of the destruction in Gaza. It ended with the message, “Our government is complicit in genocide.”

Gorillaz have been rolling out their new album The Mountain for three months now, and we still have to wait a while for it — but not quite as long as expected. The group has bumped the project’s release date ahead three weeks, from March 20 to Feb. 27. Along with the schedule change comes…

As the song says, you gon’ jump if A. G. made it. Don’t jump in the movie theater, though. Cinema etiquette. A. G. Cook, the former PC Music mastermind and longtime Charli XCX collaborator, is one of the many famous people in the cast of The Moment, the upcoming mockumentary film about Charli’s Brat era.…

Brooklyn’s Mikey Buishas (formerly of Really Big Pinecone) makes music under the name 0 Stars, and although we don’t assign ratings around here outside the Number Ones franchises, IMO his new album World No. 2 deserves several more stars than that. Released last week, it’s the first release from this project since 2019’s Blowing On…

There’s this UK rapper named EsDeeKid, right? White kid from Liverpool. Always wears a mask. Thick accent. Raps over the glitchy, twitchy UK underground beats that are currently picking up all kinds of buzz online. EsDeeKid hasn’t been making music for a long time, but he makes a lot of it. In his videos, he’s usually all in shadow. He’s keeping things mysterious on purpose, and the internet is having a lot of fun with the idea that he’s really Timothée Chalamet. Chalamet himself can neither confirm nor deny.

Right now, there’s a lot of pop music that’s been scattered and refracted to hell and back. You know what I’m talking about — vocals fed through 19 layers of Auto-Tune, beats that sound like the vibrating thing inside a PS5 controller. That music is often interesting, but it rarely touches my soul. The Norwegian…
