Premiere: See the mesmeric visuals for ‘Outsides’ by J. Zunz
Today, Rocket Recordings and J. Zunz share the video for her latest track ‘Outsides’, available for avant-garde electronic pop lovers (and beyond) exclusively on Backseat Mafia first. The eerily glitchy, nuanced visuals for the almost operatically drone-filled track come from Mexican artist Víctor Garay. ‘Outsides’ is taken from Del Aire, the third album Lorena Quintanilla …
Premiere: The Shrugs exude an insouciant pop fuzz blast with a serious message in their thundering ‘Shoebox’, and announce a launch date for the single.

PREMIERE: Damn Jackals are here to make you ‘Swoon’ with their supremely catchy new single
Working on their second album as you read this, New Yorkers Damn Jackals are intent on making up for lost time. They had a big 2020 ahead of them in terms of giving their 2018 debut Crooked Castle, Volume 1 a victory lap, but the world, well, it had other plans. So they were put …
PREMIERE: Tatum Gale takes a swipe at music industry cutthroats with ‘New Look, Same Great Flavor’
If the single artwork, above, seems gaudy, then that’s entirely the point: the New Orleans-via-Portland producer and songwriter Tatum Gale is asking you not to judge the book (or in this case, the song) by its cover. About two years since his Both EP, he returned last month with ‘Botanical Babe’, and is quickly following …
Premiere: Hobart’s Caelo unveils second single ‘Morning Comes’: a shimmering, rambling organic delight.

Premiere: The Good Love emit golden sonic rays with the radiant single ‘Sunshine Sometime’ and announce rural tour.
We are honoured to premiere the new video from NSW outfit The Good Love – a slinky, soul-inflected piece of solid gold. Glorious harmonies and epic choruses combine to create something quite anthemic. There’s an easy sixties glow, touched with a hint of psychedelia, and singer Leroy Ashford-Meehan’s golden tonsils add a pastoral, bucolic glow. …
PREMIERE: LA trio Lost Cat present ‘Bitch Fight’ from their impending debut album
Meet Lost Cat. They’re from Los Angeles, and there’s three of them – Angie, Lucy and Kiki. They’re on a first-names-only basis apparently, and that’s fine with us. Their sound’s at the crossroads of peak girl group and garage punk, with their new song throwing in a woozy psychedelic bridge for good measure. It’s called …
PREMIERE: Space Fight announce new album and share title track ‘Do You Dream in the Daylight?’
Last month, we premiered the first taste of resurrected Ra Ra Riot offshoot Space Fight’s forthcoming new album, and we’re delighted to be lifting the veil on the full thing.
