track premiere


You probably shouldn’t eat Bloody Bananas. Or beetroots for that matter. However, Cary LaScala’s needed a little extra time for his solo career under that name to ripen and now it’s ready to be picked. We’re all out of fruit metaphors so that means we can move on to the music. A Bay Area transplant, …

Here’s another album for you to keep an ear out for next month: the debut album from New Jersey’s Charlie & Margot. The project is not made up of two people, it’s important to note; it’s a solo project from Matteo DeBenedetti, named after the two dogs belonging to him and his wife. A very …

There’s still time to get on the Camp Bedford hype train before it leaves the station at the end of the month, and you better believe us when we say their new song is brilliant. The Brooklyn queer folk-pop trio blend elements of everything from the expected Americana and bluegrass to the maximalism of hyperpop …

This is one of those songs you can get lost in, or pull around you for some extra warmth and feel fine for three-and-a-half minutes. This is new from Ontario’s Sunnsetter, and if warm, shoegazey textures are your kind of thing then you’re gonna love their new record. It’s a solo project from Andrew McLeod, …

Meet Grant Summerland. He’s been away for a little bit. OK, three years. That’s not important; what you need to know is that he’s back. The Californian had the bad fortune to release his debut album Bigfoot Museum the same week his home state shut down everything in the midst of an unfolding pandemic. You’d …

Well, that’s one way to start the year. If you’ve been keeping an eye on Los Angeles band Strawberry Fuzz, you’re about to have a very good week. In November, they released the Wasting My Time EP, a sampler from their forthcoming second album. Or rather, imminent second album, because it’s done – and it’s …

Brussels man Rodolphe Coster has been on the go for a while; first as part of Flexa Lyndo, then as a multidisciplinary artist. Music remains his first love, however – as someone who’s supported everyone from Liars to Italia 90 and Thee Oh Sees/OCS/Oh Sees etc. He’s in it for the long haul. Speaking of …

We’ve been looking forward to this one for a hot minute. Reintroducing Matan KG – last year he released the Mania Days EP as Paper Idol, and threw out a couple of loosies at the start of 2022, but if you haven’t been keeping up, he’s spent the rest of the year in album mode. …

Isis Salam is going places. She’s been plenty, too – born in Nigeria, she was raised in Toronto, had stints in school on both sides of the Atlantic (New York and London), and is now based in Berlin. She’s got previous in THUNDERHEIST, and has been quiet for a little bit since late 2019’s Last …

He probably had to sit on that car for a bit to get the right shot (see above), but the LA-based Matthew Lurie has been sitting on his second album as Matthew & the Mainstream for far longer. For context: the initial seeds that bloomed into the 10-track record were planted back in 2017 at …
