TV On The Radio’s Return To Cookie Mountain just turned 20, and when I revisited it, I was struck all over again by how much Katrina Ford’s backing vocals added to a bunch of those songs. Ford was a TVOTR associate from the very beginning. Before he produced the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Fever To Tell, Dave Sitek did his first-ever …

Last year, Detroit’s Day Residue released i love what you’ve done with the place, a ferocious EP that was diverse in its disgruntled punkiness. Since then, they shared the one-off “Lackey.” Today, they’ve returned with two new singles “Gag Order” and “Hypothetical” that continue their stellar streak. The post Day Residue – “Gag Order” & “Hypothetical” appeared first on Stereogum.

Over the past year or so, UK duo Bassvictim captured a lot of people’s imaginations with their blown-out, hedonistic take on experimental bedroom-pop. We were really into their EP ?, which came out earlier this year. It appears that Bassvictim have settled any beef with their hyperpop peer and remix client daine, and they’re about to head out on a …

As Mouse On Mars, Jan St. Werner has been making forward-thinking, reality-altering electronic music with Andi Toma for well over three decades; he’s been pursuing similar aims in Microstoria with Oval’s Markus Popp for nearly as long. But St. Werner has also made solo records, sometimes using the alias Lithops, and his 2023 release Space Synthesis was a solo joint …

It’s the Friday before Labor Day weekend, and summer is pretty much over now even if it is still oppressively hot outside. That means it’s a great time to let a sighing cascade of blurry synths hit your ear. So it’s good timing that the always-evocative retro-indie maximalist M83 just dropped the first single of his upcoming album. The post …

Prince may not be on this mortal realm with us, but he left behind an immense archive of work that is still being released to the public, reminding us of the limitlessness of his creativity. Last week, his estate released the album Timeless, which has sparked some controversy with its album credits. The post Prince’s Label Clarifies Controversial “Calabama” Credits …

There’s something powerful about running into a superstar at the mall. The pre-internet shopping, pre-social media, mundane phenomenon doesn’t exist anymore. But it’s surreal to think about that time, say a time before Beyoncé was Beyoncé, but a Texas teenager who encountered Tejano icon Selena at the Galleria Mall in Houston. Bey has talked about the Mexican-American singer’s influence, and …

The ad circulated in various edited forms, each seemingly stripping away context from a video designed to look like a candid studio session, in which Blige was shown all the wild things you could do with Suno. The video’s …
