It’s been 21 years since Miranda Lambert released Kerosene, which means she’s been one of our greatest mainstream country stars for a very, very long time. She’s not slowing down. This year, Lambert co-wrote and sang backup on Ella Langley’s gigantic crossover hit “Choosin’ Texas,” and she buried the hatchet with her old adversary Kacey Musgraves in grand fashion on …
Almost a year ago, Dovetail released a very beautiful track called “raining here, too.” In the fall, I caught them at New York’s beloved Night Club 101 opening for Ken Park; the two Vassar students wore angel wings on their backs and played dreamy songs that swallowed the whole room. Now, the duo is sharing a new tune titled “if …
Billy Strings is a virtuoso bluegrass musician and a giant star in the jammy Americana world. He’s also a big fucking metalhead. Last year, Strings shredded a solo on a medley of re-recorded 1994 songs from tech-death legends Cryptopsy. Now, Strings is preparing for his own Ionia Freak Fair festival in his hometown of Ionia, Michigan, and he’s booked himself …
Bizarrap y Myke Towers pusieron fin a años de especulación y lanzaron la BZRP Music Session #42/66, la primera session del productor argentino en 2026. Este lanzamiento trajo una sorpresa que pocos anticipaban: junto a la session llegó también “BOOBYTRAP”, una canción cuya maqueta o adelanto se filtró en internet en 2021. El significado de recuperarla es un regalo directo …
Noah Kahan’s been having strange problems lately. Recently the folk-pop sensation was a bit weirded out by Kidz Bop’s cop-friendly cover of his song “The Great Divide.” Now, he’s asking his fans to stop stealing his hometown’s road sign. The post Noah Kahan Has One Request For Fans Visiting His Hometown appeared first on Stereogum.
The shoegazey San Francisco rock band Badvril came on my radar through Bandsplain host Yasi Salek, who included one of their dreamy, poppy, hard-slapping songs a playlist a couple years back. We posted their debut album In Heaven last year, describing it as “entrancing,” and today they announced the follow-up. Lethal is dropping in October, and in addition to the …
Sophia Stel can make anything sound like a beautiful daydream, as she did on last year’s fantastic How To Win At Solitaire. The Canadian singer-songwriter and producer is doing it again today with “Molly In The Club,” which is a hypnotic tune about doing molly in the club and contemplating the purpose of jealousy. The post Sophia Stel – “Molly …
Peggy Gou and Ayra Starr have teamed up for the new summer jam “Wo, man.” Built on a hypnotic ’90s house groove, the track combines irresistible melodies with delightfully nonsensical lyrics (“adigidang dang dang di dang”) that make for an instant ear worm. This is guaranteed to be on repeat as I continue to melt in the summer heat. The …
Tom Hardy is one of our best, weirdest movie stars — the type of guy who manages to convey sweaty insanity even in an otherwise pedestrian IP blockbuster like Venom. Hardy is also a rap head to makes music in his spare time. Way back in 1999, he made a mixtape under the name Tommy No. 1, which should honestly …
Ben Gibbard and his Death Cab For Cutie bandmates have been seemingly everywhere promoting their excellent new album I Built You A Tower, including here at Stereogum. The latest stop on the promo tour is Vulture, where Gibbard sat down with Jesse David Fox for the new episode of the Good One podcast. The interview runs nearly 90 minutes, and …
Earlier this week, the Los Angeles hardcore band Zulu performed in São Paolo without …
