Today, they’ve followed that record with a relatively low-key EP, meant to accompany the LP and sensibly titled Floral Arrangements. I might like the band a little better when they’re in this acoustic-adjacent zone. In the Bandcamp description, Welcome Strawberry describe…

COUCOU CHLOE started off the year with “Venom.” Now, the London-based artist has returned with “Candyland,” a hype-heavy and woozy nightmare of a single. The sound is terrifying, but so is the video: there’s clown masks, blurred out faces, and strobe-lighting that screams homemade slasher film than club. Self-produced and sonically unhinged, “Candyland” pushes COUCOU…

I wish being kinder to myself were something I could set an alarm for, something I could check off like a simple to-do list task. But it isn’t. It’s hard. It’s a process, something you work at slowly, tracking the progress the way you would work toward a personal best. Montréal-based artist Magi Merlin bottles…

Are we witnessing the Action Bronsonaissance? “Triceratops,” the NYC rap foodie’s recent collab with Paul Wall and Lil Yachty, was fire. So is the next single from Planet Frog, Bronson’s new LP out this week. “Peppers” pairs him with fellow New York emcee extraordinare Roc Marciano, both of them flexing in their signature styles over…

We liked “Wants For Everyone” and “Fool In Your Room” — the first two singles from Slippers’ upcoming debut album Slippers 08 — both so much that they each made our lists of the Best Songs Of The Week. Today Madeline Babuka Black is sharing the album’s final single “Wasted Tonight,” a sweet and fuzzy…

Mike D with the master plan? A few weeks back the Beastie Boy went viral by performing his group’s stone cold classic “So Whatcha Want” in a surprise appearance with Very Nice Person, the band led by his sons Skyler and Davis Diamond, at the Ojai Valley Women’s Club. He’d guested with the boys two nights earlier at Malibu surf shop Brothers Marshall, but the Ojai show is the one that went nuclear on social media. Now it seems Michael Diamond is ready to put on some proper performances.
