Yaelokre‘s Keath Ósk has launched a new solo era, announcing debut album ‘Foreword’ with the experimental single ‘And The Hound’. Check it out, along with live tour details, below. Set for release on September 4 via Atlantic Records (pre-order here), ‘Foreword’ marks a new chapter for Keath Ósk, and sees them re-record and reimagine the songs that they originally released under the Yaelokre moniker. While the original releases saw the Filipino-Icelandic singer-songwriter, illustrator, and multimedia creator lean into traditional acoustic indie-folk and mythological themes, the new versions under their own name and identity will see them push the boundaries of…
G racie Abrams would like very much to ensure that, no matter what she reveals, I will not get angry. “Just don’t be mad at me,” she pleads, bending over in her chair, imploring. “Shit. I’m scared, girl. I hope you’re not so horrified.” It’s a sunny spring morning in Brooklyn, though in this cavernous art studio, the lights are dim and candles are lit, creating a mood that’s as contemplative as an Abrams ballad amid the sawhorses and drop cloths. It had been Abrams’ idea to conduct our first interview while painting portraits of each other, an attempt, she…

System Of A Down’s Shavo Odadjian has been revealed as part of the cast of Dexter: Resurrection’s second season. The show stars Michael C. Hall as the titular serial killer, and is a sequel series to the popular thriller show Dexter, which ran from 2006-2013. Season one of Resurrection aired last summer, and its success has led to a second season being greenlit by streamer Paramount Plus. Season two will air later this year, and new photos have shown Odadjian in a tense face-off with Dexter. The official synopsis for the season (shared by Variety) teases that Dexter is “caught…
Bob Dylan has wrapped up the US leg of his 2026 tour by adding new guitarist Jimmie Vaughan to the live band. The change to the live band comes following a tumultuous few months of line-up changes as the iconic singer-songwriter hit the road for his ‘Rough And Rowdy Ways’ tour. In June, guitarist Doug Lancio stepped back from touring duties after a show at the Santa Barbara Bowl. Lancio had been part of Dylan’s touring band since 2021, and has seemingly been replaced by jazz guitarist Julian Lange. A spokesperson for Dylan said they had “no word” on whether…
Leonardo DiCaprio‘s Re:wild, which he co-founded with Dr. Wes Sechrest, and the Bezos Earth Fund are launching the Phoenix Species Project — an initiative with a goal to recover 100 species facing imminent extinction that aims to work with Indigenous Peoples, scientists, and conservationists in an effort to change the future of Earth’s biodiversity. According to a press release, the project received a $200 million commitment, making it the “largest single philanthropic initiative dedicated exclusively to the recovery of critically endangered species across taxonomic groups, a diversity of habitats, and countries.” “For decades, scientists, Indigenous Peoples, local communities, and conservation leaders…
Boy George has hit out at Bandcamp for removing his pro-Israel song, calling them a “bunch of c***s”. The song, called ‘We Will Dance Again’, divided opinion when it was released last month, particularly for it’s stance which appears to reject descriptions of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza as genocide, as well as criticising musicians who have publicly supported Palestine. Boy George later gave more insight into the track, saying it was inspired by his visit to the Nova Music Festival Exhibition in London and meetings with people affected by the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023. Since the song’s…
Brandon Flowers has revealed that he is considering quitting music. The frontman of The Killers, who releases his third solo album ‘Thrasher’ on August 21, admitted during a new interview with The Times that he’s thought about how much longer he can be an artist. “My dad goes to yard sales, where he buys frames to take home and paint,” he explained. “He’s never had any money in his life and he’s happier than I am. “I’m really going through it right now: how much longer do I want to do this, what does it mean, why am I doing it…
“Oh, she’s up next”, reads a comment under a recent performance video of Ravyn Lenae online – a prophecy for a star-in-waiting. ‘Love Me Not’, a track from her 2024 album ‘Bird’s Eye’, might have seemed like a miraculous delivery on that promise when it scored viral success months after its initial release. But to those in the know, the Chicago-born artist has already been “it” for years. As a fixture of the Zero Fatigue collective and across two albums and three EPs, Lenae was a beloved figure in R&B and alt-pop long before the rest of the world caught…
Brandon Flowers has revealed that he’s considering hanging up his microphone. In a new interview with the Times, the Killers frontman compared his life on the road with that of his father. “My dad goes to yard sales, where he buys frames to take home and paint,” Flowers said. “He’s never had any money in his life and he’s happier than I am.” He continued, “I’m really going through it right now: How much longer do I want to do this, what does it mean, why am I doing it anyway? Whenever I finish a tour, without fail I get…
