Despite Bitchin Bajas’ name, with its drug-ruggy whiff of slacker insouciance—to say nothing of the unabashedly tongue-in-cheek tone of titles like Bajas Fresh—there’s nothing self-conscious about the Chicago trio’s music. To the contrary: Their cosmically unfurling synth epics seem unbesmirched by consciousness at all. The Bajas—Cooper Crain, Rob Frye, and Dan Quinlivan—come across like a walking flow state, music bubbling forth like water from a geyser.Bitchin Bajas’ practice has traditionally blurred the line between improvisation and composition; they wrote most of their last album, 2025’s Inland See, while on tour, hammering out arrangements on stage and recording the material at…

The album will be pressed on a special seaglass vinyl and preorders are ongoing. No Burden includes songs “I Don’t Wanna Be Funny Anymore” and “Strange Torpedo,” among others. “No Thank You, I Love…

After enduring a harrowing court proceeding in July that laid bare the grisly details of their daughter’s death, the parents of Celeste Rivas Hernandez are suing singer D4vd for wrongful death and accusing his mother and managers of negligence. In a new 20-page lawsuit, obtained by Rolling Stone, the parents and their lawyer, Patrick Steinfeld, echo much of the evidence prosecutors presented at the multi-day hearing that ended with a Los Angeles County judge ordering D4vd, born David Anthony Burke, to stand trial. Burke was arraigned last week on his renewed charges alleging he sexually assaulted Rivas Hernandez as a…

Mykki Blanco’s a tough one to pin down. Over the past 14 years and change, the artist known in government records as Michael Quattlebaum Jr. has been performing under a genderbending persona both braggadocious and tender. Speedrunning through genres (and artistic mediums; he recently got his MFA in Switzerland), Blanco doesn’t lay claim to any one particular sound: His songs run the gamut from industrial rap to Nine Inch Nails-style rock to ballroom.One thing Blanco has never been, though, is coy: I mean, his debut album came out swinging with the image of “white powder in both holes.” His new…

Unlike many of Busta Rhymes’ most fruitful creative relationships—Hype Williams, the Neptunes, Q-Tip, Spliff Star, Rah Digga, Swizz Beatz, DJ Scratch—his long-term partnership with producer J Dilla was never flashy, almost understated. When teaming with Dilla, Busta never got any volatile, flamboyant, shout-rap singles with music videos made of Tex Avery-styled antics and critical levels of fish-eye lens; never any hip-hop radio chokeholds or sneaky pop radio Trojan horses. However, the juxtaposition of Busta’s fire-breathing flow and Dilla’s muted, ill-proportioned pockets always served as a perfect chaser to the rapper’s more ostentatious moments of woo-hah and rowr-rowr and cha-cha-cha-cha-cha.Between 1996…

How about the choice to title a Doja Cat-dupe flex track “Nicole Kidman”? Surely this namedrop represents something relevant to the ADÉLA persona. Surely that something can’t begin and end with the couplet, “Moulin Rouge/My corset is so tight.” The point, one senses, is to get us clapping just like we do when Kidman shows up on the big screen at our local AMC. You can practically see ADÉLA sweat as she vies to become the next pop stan pet cause, but hardly any of this music is interesting or idiosyncratic enough to befit cult-fave status. Rosalía’s “Hentai” and Camila…

Sports Team have shared lively new single ‘Billy’, which they describe as a “love letter to getting desperately, insanely drunk at a carpeted pub on a Tuesday night”. The single marks the first new music from the Mercury Prize-nominated indie stars since they dropped their third album ‘Boys These Days’ last May, and followed it up with the wistful single ‘Medium Machine’. In the track, frontman Alex Rice and co. lean into the similar infectious, soul-tinged melodies, but add new elements of grit and jagged guitars to make it one of their most lively and raucous songs since their 2020…

Radiohead‘s Philip Selway, Live Nation and more have backed a new mental health touring scheme. Entitled the Pay It Forward Fund set up by the Music Industry Therapy Collective (MITC), the scheme aims to make specialist mental health support accessible for artists and crew on small and mid-scale tours. With touring professionals at “an elevated risk of stress, anxiety and burnout, as well as clinical depression and suicidality”, a press release states “that a growing number of larger tours now provide welfare or pastoral support as part of the production”. It added: “On smaller tours, those pressures can be compounded…
