“The language of snakes” is the new album by filoswordout on May 15th for Bradipo Dischi, created with the contribution of NewImaie. After a debut album that had positioned them among the most interesting realities of the new Italian independent scene, the second work marks a change in form and perspective: from a solo project by Filippo Spadafilospada becomes a full-fledged band, with the stable entry of Jacopo De Donà on drums ed Emanuele Malfatti on the bass. Three years after the debut album, “Gli Ulti 4 Disastrosti”, filosword consolidates a more compact identity: an organic, deliberately lo-fi indie-rock sound,…
Harmony Tividad is done with the intentional brain-rot pop of Gossip, at least for now. The former Girlpool member picks back up the acoustic guitar and, with it, her natural instincts for indie-pop earworms. Broadly recounting an endless cycle of becoming in the modern world, Lifetime is a detailed and thoughtful reflection that takes note of life’s smallest details and always cradles them with a gentle heart. “Mulholland Drive,” “Lifetime,” and “Your Strange Addiction” land like familiar staples of the past, with easygoing melodies that never sound fussed over, even when Tividad indulges in vocal effects.Listen on Apple MusicListen on…
When my dear coworker Hattie went to report on Phoebe Bridgers’ pop-up concert at Madison Square Garden, she told me she instantly knew which song “was gonna be the damn single.” It was the one that went, “Lost boys/Never grow up, never get old.” I wonder what gave it away. The lonesome trumpet line does immediately recall another Bridgers single, “Kyoto,” from her last album, 2020’s Punisher. And admittedly, that chorus stitched itself to me like my shadow the first time I heard it. Except the words won’t quite stick, so it becomes “Lost boys, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.”Bridgers is a strict…
Since Whole Lotta Red, the rage rap arms race has been chugging along, but how much more of the maximalist production styles, rabid flows, and “punk” aesthetics, designed to soundtrack the gnarliest moshpits (and sell a lot of band tees), can we take? I’ve been feeling this fatigue since the combo of OsamaSon’s Jump Out and Che’s Rest In Bass hit the e-streets. Sure, both tapes pushed the distorted pandemonium to the brink, but they also stripped away the regional specificity of the Opium-born sound, creating a replicable formula that has more to do with havoc than any musical lineage.…
Fans have been “repeatedly” removing Alger Brook Road sign after the singer mentioned it in “The View Between Villages” Noah Kahan is asking fans to stop stealing a street sign in his Vermont hometown popularized by his song “The View Between Villages.” The singer made the request on social media, writing, “To fans traveling to the upper valley, I've been informed that the Alger Brook Road sign in Strafford has been repeatedly stolen. It is a total disrespect to the folks who live on that road and a headache for the town to deal with.” It's unclear how many times…
It’s been 13 long years since that last Grand Theft Auto game, and a lot has changed. Since GTA V launched in 2013 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, there’ve been two full console generations (hell, four presidencies and 30 MCU movies too), but the gaming landscape itself has shifted. While open-world games like GTA were rarer back then, most blockbuster games today have some form of large-scale exploration, and the rise of live-service titles like Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone have made big-event games less of a focus as players are sucked into yearslong obsessions and the slow…
The song will appear on the upcoming debut album from Delevingne scheduled for release later this summer A search through Cara Delevingne's text messages would reveal a few things — maybe plans to hangout with a friend she hasn't seen in a while, maybe some gossip about someone she hopes to never see again, but definitely the beginning stages of her latest single “Need It,” co-written over text (by way of Post-It notes) with Fiona Apple. “We were writing things down on Post-it notes and sending them to each other, which is really funny, because we could have just been…
Billy Corgan returns to talk about the Zwan catalog and anticipates a rich series of publications dedicated to his short but celebrated supergroup. The Smashing Pumpkins leader revealed that, in addition to the re-release of “Mary Star Of The Sea”, there could even be two albums composed of completely new material.Zwan was born in 2001 with an exceptional lineup: in addition to Corgan and Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, it included Paz Lenchantin (A Perfect Circle), David Pajo (Slint) and Matt Sweeney (Chavez). The band released just one album, “Mary Star Of The Sea,” in 2003, before breaking up the…
Less than a month after the release of the new album “Music, Fashion, Film”, scheduled for July 24, Charli XCX has released the new single “Wink Wink”, accompanied by the related official video clip.Surprisingly announced just an hour before release, the song comes with a video directed by Aidan Zamiri. In the film, the British singer moves between countryside landscapes and scenes of everyday life: she picks and eats strawberries in a field, cleans large windows and walks on rooftops, while singing about having left the image of the “bad girl” behind.Watch the video for “Wink Wink” below. “Wink Wink”…
Charli XCX has opened up about her relationship with Madonna, after the pair appeared to end speculation of a feud by partying together in Paris. Charli’s recent single ‘Rock Music’, taken from her upcoming album ‘Music, Fashion, Film’, caused debate over its bold declaration: “I think the dancefloor is dead, so now we’re making rock music”. The lyric arrived as Madonna was gearing up to release ‘Confessions II’, the long-anticipated sequel to 2005’s ‘Confessions On A Dance Floor’. She later appeared to respond on Instagram, writing: “If your Dance floor feels dead, maybe you’re playing the wrong music.” However, the pair were spotted together in Paris in the…
