Dickey Betts, founding guitarist with the Allman Brothers Band, is reportedly in a critical but stable condition following a "freak accident" at his home.
Singer songwriter Doe Paoro has clicked back into her soulful R&B roots on forthcoming album Soft Power, her first since 2015’s After. Last month, the Artist To Watch alum announced the release with lead single "Over." Today, she’s sharing "Cage Of Habits," co-written with Twin Shadow’s Wynn Bennett.
After Dr. Christine Blasey Ford revealed herself as the individual who claimed that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her as a high school student in the '80s, notable figures — from Monica Lewinsky to Julia Louis-Dreyfus — have voiced their support and spoken out against Kavanaugh's nomination.
Certainty Waves, the upcoming Dodos album, has already given us one really cool single, "Forum." And now, with the release of "SW3" today, it's also generated an excellent music video. (Actually, "Forum" got a pretty cool video too, but that one didn't have swords.)…
Next month, IAN SWEET will release their sophomore album, Crush Crusher, the follow-up to 2016's excellent Shapeshifter. We've already heard one track from it, "Hiding," and today Jilian Medford is sharing another one, the knotty and explosive "Spit." It's a song about anticipating the end: "You'll go and I'll get swallowed by someone else's spit,"
Metric occupy a curious place in the modern rock landscape. If they had come up ten years earlier, they certainly would have had a different story. But as they exist now, their legacy will probably be that they were the most successful of the crop of bands that emerged from Toronto in the late-'90s, the…
They did it. They found someone even more bland than circa-2018 Justin Timberlake. According to Variety, the NFL has settled on a Halftime Show performer for next year's Super Bowl, and that performer is Maroon 5.
In a couple weeks, the Québécois musician Josie Boivin will release her second EP as MUNYA, Delmano. Last month, we heard "Hotel Delmano" from it, and today she's sharing another new song, "If I’m Gone Tomorrow (It’s Because Of Aliens)," which is the first song she's released that's not in French. It's pretty sparse with…
For the Kings Of Leon, the myth about them was always more exciting than the real thing. The idea of who they were and where they came from was the selling point before the actual music.
Fatimah Warner wasn't a music person as a kid. In a recent FADER profile, we learn that she grew up with her grandparents and that music wasn't that big of a presence in her life through most of her childhood. The rapper known as Noname didn't fall into rap through the sort of juvenile infatuation…
Before Jack White became Jack White, he was just an upholsterer in Detroit. He apprenticed with another Detroit musician and upholsterer, Brian Muldoon, and together they recorded as a band, fittingly, called the Upholsterers. In the early 2000s, the two of them pressed 100 copies of their second single, "Your Furniture Was Always Dead ……
The UK producer Dean Blunt has been quietly releasing new material over the last month, in the form of a compilation called Muggy Vol. 1 and a recording of a 2017 experimental collaboration with composer Mica Levi. Today, he's put out some more new material, a collection of tracks called Soul On Fire, as The…
Mark Knopfler has announced a new solo album. Down The Road Wherever, the former Dire Straits frontman and guitar wizard's ninth solo album and first since 2015's Tracker, will be out in November. "'Down The Road Wherever' is a line from [album track] 'One Song At A Time,'" he explains. "I remember my pal Chet…
In The Number Ones, I'm reviewing every single #1 single in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, starting with the chart's beginning, in 1958, and working my way up into the present.…
Josh Ocean (no relation to Frank, obviously) used to make '80s-inspired pop in a duo called Ghost Beach. Now he's gone solo under the name NVDES making noisy gospel-inflected dance music. Or at least that's the sound of "Mind Body Soul Music," the opening track from his upcoming album Vibe City Utah.
The 27-year-old Atlanta rapper J.I.D is a furiously, explosively talented young talents, and it's hard to even think about what he could do if his career keeps going the way it's been going. J.I.D, part of J. Cole's Dreamville roster, is a twisty and incisive fast-rapper with an eccentric sense of flow and a whole…
Houston-based five-piece Buxton make psychedelia-infused Americana, in which classic dusty, acoustic melancholy is subtly transformed by agitated production, syncopated rhythms, buzzy keys, and a healthy dose of self-awareness. The band embraces the genre and their rootsy Texan origins, but skirts these categories' trappings for a bigger, dreamier sound inspired by the likes of Talk Talk's…
2 Chainz is 41 years old, and he still makes ridiculously fun hits and regularly appears on songs with the biggest stars in the world. For that, he's an inspiration. He's also a relentlessly good rapper, a neverending source of dad jokes and absurdist boasts. And now he's made another video just as silly as…
A lot has changed for Kip Berman in the past couple of years. Since recording the last Pains Of Being Pure At Heart album, the lead singer and songwriter of the New York indie-pop band has moved to New Jersey, become a father, and started recording new music under a new name: the Natvral. "I…
Back in May, English producer Jon Hopkins released one of the best albums of 2018 so far, Singularity. Today, we see the music video for its title track, which joins "Emerald Rush" among the visual accompaniments to the album so far.
Through the '80s and '90s, the Australian duo Dead Can Dance turned goth into something mythic and lush and worldly. On 4AD, a label full of sonic adventurers, they were among the most adventurous, injecting their stargazing inward hymns with bits of Gaelic folk, Middle Eastern religious music, and art-rock sweep. And now they're back…
Charly Bliss' impressive full-length debut, Guppy, was among our top 10 favorite albums of 2017. It was a sugary, '90s-indebted introduction to the New York band. Today, their pop-tinged alt-rock gets a little less bubblegum with on their new single, "Heaven."
Before his death last November, the massively influential Lil Peep recorded a song with fellow sing-rapper iLoveMakonnen, who himself had proven to be a transformative figure in hip-hop after his breakout hit "Tuesday." Sometime afterward, before being shot dead this past June, the controversial and wildly popular XXXTentacion heard the song and asked to contribute…
Earlier this year, Florence Welch released her latest album as Florence + The Machine, High As Hope, and since then she's been making the festival rounds and just embarked on a North American tour.
You could make a decent case that John Carpenter's original 1978 horror classic Halloween is one of the two or three most influential American movies of the last 50 years. It birthed the whole still-thriving slasher subgenre, proved just how tense a low-budget movie could be, and repurposed Hitchcock for grindhouses. Next month, we'll all…
Last month, Conan O'Brien announced that he's cutting his late-night show to half an hour. As part of the cut, which will happen next year, he won't be featuring musical performers anymore. That's serious end-of-an-era stuff. These days, there's a generous handful of late-night talk shows. Many of them feature musical performances, and all of…
There is never a bad time to go see Nine Inch Nails live. They are one of the great arena-level rock bands currently operating, and one of the only bands from the alt-rock early '90s that's still crushing at anywhere near peak capacity. But this might be an especially good time to go see Nine…
It has now been eight years since Robyn released Body Talk, the album that collected the best jams from a three-EP series. Since then, the Swedish pop queen has been a constant presence, her music showing up in soundtracks and on dancefloors. She's kept recording, too, releasing the odd single or collab. But it's been…
Drake has just filed a lawsuit against a woman who alleges he raped and impregnated her. According to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Drake claims he met Layla Lace in February of last year, during his Boy Meets World Tour, in Manchester. Drake says they had consensual sex in his hotel room after his show.
British Invasion legend Marianne Faithful has been at this for decades. When she contributed haunting guest vocals on Metallica's "The Memory Remains" in 1997, she already had an eerie old lady vibe going on. So it only makes sense that 21 years later, on a duet with Nick Cave, she is basking in that weathered…
Crash Test Dummies, the Canadian rock band best known for their 1993 hit "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm," are reuniting. The original lineup of Brad Roberts, Ellen Reid, Dan Roberts, and Mitch Dorge will tour together for the first time in 17 years to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their 1993 sophomore album God Shuffled His…
Tyler, The Creator is contributing music to the upcoming film The Grinch, a new CGI animated adaptation of the 1957 Dr. Seuss story How The Grinch Stole Christmas! from Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures. Directed by Yarrow Cheney and Scott Mosier, this will be the third screen adaptation of the original story following the 1966…
Everyone knows vinyl records don't kill people. What this TV show presupposes is ... maybe they do. Deadwax, an upcoming original short-form series from the horror-specific streaming service Shudder, takes its name from the space between the last track and the label on a vinyl record and its inspiration from the urban myths surrounding "backmasking,"
I know this is a big ask because it sounds like a throwaway gag from The Office, but I beg of you, loyal Stereogum reader: Put some respect on the name of "Lackawanna County's ska-punk scene in 2005." The Menzingers, Captain, We're Sinking, and Tigers Jaw all emerged from hardscrabble Scranton and laid the groundwork…
Tom Petty's death hit everyone hard, and it hit the Heartbreakers even harder. When Petty died suddenly of an accidental overdose last October, Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell thought that the rest of the band might never perform together again. "I just couldn't think about doing that," he tells Rolling Stone in…
At the end of the week, California pop-punks Joyce Manor are releasing their new album Million Dollars To Kill Me, the follow-up to their 2016 Album Of The Week honoree Cody. We've already heard two songs from it so far, the title track and "Think I'm Still In Love With You." And today, they've shared…
One of the best songs from last week was Lana Del Rey's new Jack Antonoff-produced track "Mariners Apartment Complex." It was a soft, orchestral trip back to the stylings of Born To Die, the dramatics that put her on the map.
