Premiere: Eldridge Rodriguez share new song ‘A Feeling That Won’t Go Away’ and announce new album

Premiere: Camp Bedford mark the end of Pride month with a call for solidarity in ‘Our America’
Back in March, Brooklyn trio Camp Bedford released their fantastic debut EP So Often & So Sweet, a short but impactful collection that put them on the map as a folk-pop band to watch. We didn’t expect to be hearing from them again so soon – they’re releasing a new single to mark the end …
Premiere: Eric Lindley returns as Careful with first new music in almost a decade, ‘Promise’
Here’s a welcome surprise for a Thursday evening – you may have thought Eric Lindley had hung it up as Careful, but life events simply got in the way for a while. He’s a father now, and such seismic changes often make it difficult to find a way back into making music. Throw in the …
Premiere: LEONE search for the romantic ideal on the darkly seductive new cut ‘I Wanna Be’
In the video for their new single, Brooklyn trio LEONE put it all on red, and lose, badly, as a trip to a dingy casino has consequences. On first glance it has absolutely nothing to do with the lyrical content of ‘I Wanna Be’, but then you remember that betting and gambling are often used …

What do you get when you mix together three lead singers, guitar, cello, a suitcase drum and various toy instruments?

Premiere: JD Pinkus and Tall Tall Trees are ‘Afterlifers’ in surreal new video
About a month ago, JD Pinkus of the Butthole Surfers and Mike Savino of Tall Tall Trees announced the collaborative album Ponder Machine, a record on which traditional bluegrass takes a detour into something psychedelic and, at times, otherworldly.

Premiere: Pony Girl announce new album ‘Laff It Off’ and share title track
Well, this is a welcome surprise – not even a year since their last album, Ottawa’s Pony Girl are already back with news of a follow-up. Following October’s Enny One Wil Love You, you’d have expected the duo to take some time off, but it’s two albums on the trot for Pascol Huot and Yolande …

Formerly the vocalist for New York band Gospels, Alex Frenkel has since moved on to making music as Caicos. Last we heard from him, Frenkel released the Past Perfect EP in autumn of 2020, but he’s been at work on a new project, the first fruits of which we’re delighted to share with you today. …
Premiere: Paul Murphy announces new album as POSTDATA, shares ‘Mine the Sea’
Also known as the voice of excellent Canadian outfit Wintersleep, it would be fair to say Paul Murphy likes to keep busy. His main band last released In the Land Of in 2019, a year after his second album as POSTDATA, Let’s Be Wilderness. Twin Flames arrived in early 2021, and today he’s announcing his …
