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 …
Premiere: New York’s Bandits on the Run are boxed in and listening to the ‘Radio’ on effervescent new single
What do you get when you mix together three lead singers, guitar, cello, a suitcase drum and various toy instruments? Nobody knows for sure but it’d probably sound something quite like Brooklyn trio Bandits on the Run, who are opening for Deer Tick and the Avett Brothers at Summerfest in Wisconsin this weekend. A good …
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. It’s quite a trip, and not what you would expect from its description. It goes to …
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 …
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 …
Say Psych: Video Premiere: XUP – Sunday Girl
XUP is Lane on the Mustang bass, drums and vocals – a one woman, all power offering that is here to blow your mind. Lane began writing, recording and performing as XUP in 2008, releasing seven albums while based in London and Manchester. For live performances, she’s occasionally had other musicians playing drums and guitar, …

Premiere: Ashton Nyte shares ‘Something Beautiful’ and announces new solo album for August
It’s always good to hear from prolific South African songwriter Ashton Nyte, who’s released an impressive 18 albums between his work as leader of The Awakening and his eponymous solo venture. Based in the U.S., he’s focused on the full-band project over the last few years, in addition to being temporarily sidelined by the pandemic, …
Premiere: hunter & wolfe toast their ‘Famous Friends’ as they prep first album in almost a decade
It’s been quite a while since we’ve last heard from Brooklyn duo hunter & wolfe; longer still since they’ve put out a full-length album. With the impact of the pandemic on artists in general, it’s a relief to see they’re still kicking. Almost six whole years ago they released the Late Then Never EP, itself …
Premiere: Homeschool celebrates new EP release with video for ‘Hanger-on’
The new EP from New Yorker Tom D’Agustino is all hits, if you haven’t been keeping up. Out today, the 6-track collection follows up last year’s Homeschool: Book II and is a great starting point for anyone new to their sound, which combines slick synth-pop and sky-scraping hooks with lyrics that tackle self-worth and the …
