In case you didn’t already know, the new Wild Pink album is awesome. The singles for Still Coming Down were all great, but the title track? The closer? Just awesome. I got to witness it live at the Stereogum-presented show last week at Ridgewood’s Cassette, where their set began with the Seinfeld theme song and concluded with the Curb Your …

We’re about a month out from the release of singer-songwriter Meg Lui’s full-length debut Instant Validation, which she recorded with a producer by the name of Sufjan Stevens. You know about this guy? We already posted Lui’s singles “Gone Girl” and “Elvis Queen.” Today, she shares an old-school country song about realizing she wasn’t nice enough to her parents. The …

“Lucky Star,” the new song from the Bay Area alt-rock duo Sour Widows, is not a Madonna cover. Back in 2024, Sour Widows had a single called “Cherish,” and that wasn’t a Madonna cover, either.
