Philip Selway – “Strange Dance”

Later this month, Radiohead drummer Philip Selway will release his third solo album, Strange Dance. We’ve already heard lead single “Check For Signs Of Life” and “Picking Up Pieces,” and now Selway is sharing the ghostly, sweetly ominous title track. True to its name, the hazy, clattering, and undeniably lovely “Strange Dance” does sound like something...

BENEE – “Green Honda”

I haven’t been especially moved by a lot of what New Zealand alt-pop singer BENEE has released since her Gus Dapperton collab “Supalonely” went viral three years ago. Not that her output has been bad, it just hasn’t broken through the music industry’s endless noise and connected with me. Her new song does.

Phoebe Bridgers Leads “Fuck Margaret Court

That new Apple TV+ show Shrinking has a scene in which Jason Segel rides a bike, sobbing, while listening to “I Know The End,” repeatedly shouting, “Fuck you, Phoebe Bridgers!” The profane outburst is speaking Bridgers’ language; she’s been known to let some impassioned fuck-yous fly, often with help from a few thousand of her closest friends. Last...

Judiciary – “Paradigm Piercer”

Next month, Judiciary, the supremely sick Texan metallic hardcore band, will release Flesh + Blood, the long-awaited follow-up to their great 2019 album Surface Noise. We’ve already posted first single “Engulfed,” which rules. Today, Judiciary have also shared another song from the LP, and this one rules, too.

SZA Says She Wanted To Sign With Odd Future Instead Of TDE

At the end of last year, SZA released her long-awaited album SOS. The LP proved to be an absolute blockbuster; it only just fell out of the #1 spot two days ago. In a couple of weeks, SZA will embark on her first arena tour. SZA is a genuine pop star now, but she doesn’t really carry herself like one. SZA generally seems shy and withdrawn, and she rarely...
