Cimini come back with Tomorrowthe new single out on Friday 19 June 2026 for The Record Clinic And Sony Music Italy and Garrincha 373. To accompany the publication of the song there is a particular initiative: before even listening to the official version, fans and musicians will be able to try to guess the melody by taking part in a challenge launched on social media by the artist.

Booker Stardrum and Evan Shornstein’s new album begins by depositing you into a new world. “OOPS!,” the title track and opener, kicks off immediately, with monolithic bass and shuffling drums swarmed by an army of insect-like blips and bleeps. You might need a moment to orient yourself, as piano notes hang in the air and keyboard tones settle like mist on a pond; it’s as though your eyes are adjusting, taking in the contours of the twinkling, alien landscape. The drums and shaker keep their mechanized pace, but the electronics constantly brighten and fade like flowers blooming in time lapse.…
Confined to his home after a pulmonary embolism and two heart attacks, Ibrahim Alfa Jnr. had only music to sustain himself. The Brighton-based producer, whose roots go back to the blistering techno 12″s he released in the ’90s alongside Cristian Vogel and Tobias Schmidt, had already weathered substantial adversity—including a prison stint during which he read about footwork in The Wire magazine and, unable to actually hear any tracks, tried to sequence it in his mind. His health problems were his most serious obstacle yet, as well as a motivator to reorient himself toward his passion. His latest album, Infinite…

Think of the patience it requires to play in Horse Lords. You’ve trained your fingers and ears to the surgical fine point wherein you can play your instrument, cleanly and unerringly, against two or three conflicting meters. And then you bring this talent to bear on a piece like “Playing and Reality,” from their latest full-length, Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive!, which asks you to play the same four notes, in the same order, in lockstep. Over and over and over again.Instrumental rock music of the kind Horse Lords make—hypnotic, hyper-focused, complex—usually carries a whiff of manifesto, offering…
Ruth Garbus can come across like the jazz singer at an elegant party who took peyote right before her set and just started freestyling. Her voice, her arrangements, and her performances are sophisticated and beautiful, even austere. But then, she’ll step to the mic and open a song like this: “When I penetrated that man I felt just like a dog.” Or maybe you’ll catch her in a more wholesome mood and she’ll tell you about the time she went to the fair and won a Moana doll. “I was so ecstatic I thought I might cry…. and I did……
I Muse puntano alla Luna, aprono i chakra, invitano nuovi membri a far parte dell’equipaggio. In pieno tour americano, il capo spedizione Matthew Bellamy ci racconta come ha creato il suo disco più personale, The Wow! Signal, dopo essersi «perso nello spazio interstellare».Ma a chi parlano i Muse nel 2026? Ancora a parecchia gente, a quanto pare: con quasi 22 milioni di ascoltatori mensili su Spotify, il trio inglese composto da Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme e Dom Howard continua a conquistare il pubblico. Ne hanno fatta di strada da quando all’inizio degli anni ’90 nutrivano la speranza di replicare i brividi…
“Has the world changed or have I changed?” asks Morrissey in the title track of the new Smiths album The Queen Is Dead. For once, the question is not rhetorical. Of course, the singer hasn't put his obsessions aside: the album contains songs about being buried alive, picnicking in cemeteries, his mother, Oscar Wilde and the beauty of isolating himself from the world. Morrissey's unmistakable vocal style, a kind of Edith Piaf on the dole, and Johnny Marr's wall of guitars are still there, but the Smiths sound somehow different: confident, no longer self-obsessed.It's hard to imagine Morrissey making fun…
The Southern-rock pioneer fused country-blues with San Francisco-style extended improvisation, creating a template for countless jam bands The question “Can white men sing the blues?” has been debated for decades, especially once earnest white kids began taking a crack at the music in the 1960s. But in the case of Gregg Allman, no one ever raised the question. It wasn’t simply a matter of his husky, often pained voice and the genuine sense of despair, desperation, and boastfulness conveyed by it. It was also a reflection of the tragedy that haunted Allman’s life, from the murder of his father when…
