Track: Stereolabs first new music in fifteen years, Aerial Troubles, is a triumph
Stereolab’s first new music in fifteen years arrives with a shimmer and a pulse. “Aerial Troubles,” the lead single from their forthcoming album Instant Holograms On Metal Film(out via Duophonic UHF Disks / Warp Records on May 23rd), is a glorious return: retro-futuristic psych-pop wrapped in analog warmth and fizzing synths. It’s the sound of …

Track: Tennis prepare for their goodbyes with beautiful new single ‘12 blown tires’
There’s a tender kind of ache at the heart of “12 Blown Tires,” the latest single from Tennis, and it’s one that feels earned.

After six long years, Bon Iver returns with SABLE, fABLE, a two-part odyssey that explores love, longing, and transformation with his trademark emotional depth and sonic inventiveness. More than just an album, it feels like a narrative split across two discs—SABLE, a prologue of hushed reflection and sadness, and fABLE, a blossoming, kaleidoscopic response full …
Album Review: Naarm/Melbourne’s USER release the delicious electronic late night thrum of ‘Mira Imposta’ ahead of launch dates.
USER have been together around six years and ‘Mira Imposta’ is their third album. Their oeuvre is a fascinating mix of throbbing Euro disco with pure pop sensibilities and an electronic snakiness that shimmers and slithers through the ears like a delicious unguent. And in this album, there is a heart of brooding gothic darkness …
News: The venerable Pulp announces ‘More’ – their first new album in 24 years – with anthemic single ‘Spike Island’ as a tasty amuse-bouche.
While there have been a few live performances and the odd single and solo work, the venerable Pulp today announce the release of their first album in 24 years, fittingly entitled ‘More’. The original line-up (sadly of course without bass player Stephen Mackey who died in 2023) with extra musicians on board will release the …
