Two decades ago, when Rose Melberg described to this website the “big, simple words” and “simple melodies” of twee, she could also have been describing punk, which was founded on similar principles. She could not have been describing ear, a New York duo whose little-pop confections—dynamic patchworks of voice notes, muffled singsong, and the occasional fat wub—evoke the restlessness of both genres, but the simplicity of neither. Instead, Jonah Paz and Yaelle Avatan make music that sputters and sprawls, like a groggy SD card sifting between memories: the open chord drifting into the TikTok audio, the TikTok audio dissolving into…
Paul McCartney must have been born nostalgic. How else to explain songs like “Penny Lane,” “The Long and Winding Road,” and “Your Mother Should Know,” all wistful reveries for a mythical past, penned while McCartney was still in his 20s? So it’s only natural that the 83-year-old singer-songwriter should indulge in a wistful return to old Liverpool times on the autobiographical The Boys of Dungeon Lane, his first studio album in six years. The tired old trope that John Lennon was the experimental Beatle while McCartney made music for grannies may have long been disproved, but this is also not…
Historically, punk has been a young person’s game. When they issued their galvanizing debut, New Brigade, in 2011, the members of Iceage were still teenagers, concerned with capturing the volatile energy of their sometimes-bloody live shows. There was no room for draggy runtimes or studio accoutrements; as guitarist Johan Suurballe Wieth recently recalled, “We were very adamant … that there could be no overdubs.”But Iceage’s secret is that they only got better when they began to slow the tempos, accept that overdubs wouldn’t snatch their souls, and remold their energy into a more brooding goth-rock grandeur. That evolution began on…

Tom Holland says he'd wouldn't be able to navigate his career without Zendaya by his side. When stopping by the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast, the actor discussed working alongside Zendaya and how witnessing her “fearless” approach inspires his own work. “She's just like absolutely 10 toes down. Like, 'I'm going to give this everything,'” Holland said. “I think when you watch her as Rue in [Euphoria]she could not be more different to who she is in real life. Then if you see her as Emma in TheDramait's just such a different performance, but with no less intent or…
The 80s, which return cyclically. In the past, in addition to the OndaRock ranking of the best records of the 80's, we have offered you other similar lists, such as the Top 500 LPs by Uncut and the list of the 200 best songs of the 80's according to Pitchfork. This time, it is Ultimate Classic Rock magazine that puts them under its lens, which has embarked on a decidedly insidious mission: to establish the 100 best rock albums of the decade. “The music of the 1980s is generally associated with the computerized sounds and neon atmospheres of MTV, but…

That most recent album came out on Polyvinyl and reached the Number Two position on the ARIA Charts, and now the singer-songwriter has confirmed that she has signed her first-ever global…

Paul McCartney has revealed to NME that he is unsure if he will ever retire from recording and touring. The Beatles legend released his latest solo album ‘The Boys Of Dungeon Lane’ last week (May 29), a poignantly nostalgic record that sees McCartney reflect on his years growing up in Liverpool. It includes a duet with Ringo Starr on ‘Home To Us’, as well as the tearjerker lead single ’Days We Left Behind’. Ahead of the album’s release, McCartney sat down with NME to look forwards and back on his extraordinary career, and we asked him whether he can imagine ever walking away from being an active musician. “I don’t know. I never know, y’know?” he replied.…
