Iglooghost continues to be one of the most imaginative electronic music producers in the game with “Bug Thief,” probably the closest aural analog to watching an episode of Adventure Time there’s ever been. The track is off Neō Wax Bloom, the full-length Brainfeeder debut I’ve been waiting to

Industrial duo Street Sects have a new EP titled Rat Jacket on the way via The Flenser. This lead single isn’t quite as harsh and loud as much of what was on the outfit’s phenomenal debut, End Position, but it’s low-key every bit as tortured. Rat Jacket

I missed Benjamin Clementine’s latest single while on vacation, but good thing I went back for it because this is some of the London singer-songwriter’s most potent, visceral work yet. “God Save the Jungle” isn’t at all la-di-da like some of the stuff on Benjamin’s (still

The World Is a Beautiful Place has announced their third album, titled Always Foreign, and with that has come a somewhat divisive lead single. The sound the band goes for here is closer to pop punk than Midwest emo, but I can appreciate it as one of the catchiest songs

Converge is back with their first pieces of new music in five years! Admittedly, the lead single “I Can Tell You About Pain” kind of strikes me as the band by the numbers, but the B-side “Eve” is fucking epic and effectively expands upon some of the slow and sludgy

The Killers have a new album on the way titled Wonderful Wonderful, and this latest single is a peppy piece of post-punk revivalism that I’m pleasantly surprised to say lives up to that title. The album drops September 22 via Island.

Susanne Sundfør teams up with former Czars frontman John Grant on “Mountaineers,” probably her spaciest track to date – with an amazing ending to boot. It’s the second single from the Norwegian singer-songwriter’s upcoming album Music for People in Trouble, which will be released August 25 via Bella Union.

This new Wolf Parade single brings back the visceral rock instrumentation and dramatic lead vocals that made the band exciting in the first place. Cry Cry Cry, their first album in seven years, drops October 6 via Sub Pop.
