Around the time that this summer draws to an end, cult-pop overlord Carly Rae Jepsen will return with Day And Night, a new 24-song double album divided into two distinct and self-explanatory halves. Jepsen has already shared lead single “On Wires,” which comes from the daytime half of the record. Now, she’s got another new one, and it’s also from …

Texas duo Will Taylor and Charlie Martin, aka Hovvdy, don’t make nostalgic music, but there’s a sentimental time-shiftiness that runs through their songwriting. Their latest singles, “Blast” and “Try Try Try,” from the forthcoming album Big World, are especially adept at keeping the atmosphere light and groovy even as they tussle with weightier emotions. Their newest single “You Will Go …

In 1983, Ozzy Osbourne released Bark At The Moon, the album where he’s on the cover looking like a werewolf. That was awesome, and you couldn’t ask for a better twist on the whole Ozzy thing. Yesterday, the Montreal fuzz-pop auteur No Joy dropped a new track called “Barking At The Sun.” I don’t think she was necessarily trying to …

The press release for newly formed creative group silt. is elusive. They “exist between London and the inherited landscapes of the Lake District and Norfolk” and are not “a traditional band nor solo alias.” Hell, there aren’t even any names listed. But the fact remains, their new single “trauma porn” is eerie and gripping and intriguing. The post silt. – …

See the photo credit up there? “Martin Sorrondeguy” — the same Martin Sorrondeguy, presumably, from Los Crudos and Limp Wrist. (I don’t think there’s two Martin Sorrondeguys.) That means that Ceremony got a DIY punk legend to take their press pictures. That’s fucking sick. It also makes perfect sense, since Ceremony are DIY punk legends themselves. The post Ceremony – …

The members of the East London trio Envie (pronounced on-vee) have been friends since school. They’ve been at it for a while — their Bandcamp page under former band name Dystopia was last active in 2020, and they featured on FKA twigs’ Caprisongs track “Which Way” — but it looks like they’re ready to reintroduce themselves. The first upload on …

Well, shake it up baby, now. Twist and shout. Come on, come on, come on, come on baby, now. Come on and work it on out. As usual, that old-school rock ‘n’ roll spirit courses through Perennial’s new single “Modernism,” and so does bracing party-punk sass. The title track from the New England trio’s new album has a lot going …

The mysterious Brooklyn collective Standing On The Corner released a new album last year, but you probably didn’t hear it. You had to really work to hear SOTC (“II”), since the LP has never appeared on a streaming service or anything. Instead, it was only available as a $50 DVD that you could buy from some guy with a bag …

I’d tell you to remember the name Gustav Berntsen, but the man records as GB, so initials will suffice. The Copenhagen-based musical artist is ramping up to the release of Herzsprung, his new album for AD 93, and he’s got another stellar track out this week. “The Next Day” continues Berntsen’s tradition of elegant, sophisticated guitar-pop. The cello and piano …

Hey, here’s a good lyric: “I got my own place but got no rent to pay ’cause it turns out the landlord is in prison/ But still when it’s late, I’ll take the B48 down to your house like I’m on a mission.” I love that kind of specificity. That line comes from “I Wanna Be Your Man,” the latest …
