As we all know at this point, Mark Kozelek is never not recording music, hence the recent announcement of a new collaborative album with Blackstar saxophonist/flautist Donny McCaslin and drummer/previous collaborator Jim White. Mark has a solo album dropping in May, as well as a Sun Kil Moon

Kero Kero Bonito is back with a new single called “Only Acting,” which is being heralded as their first song to prominently feature rock instrumentation. The hook is power pop bliss, but there’s a bit of a dark undercurrent to the whole thing, which I at first suspected came

The deluxe version of Joji’s debut EP In Tongues was released a few days ago, and in it is several remixes from the likes of Ryan Hemsworth, Actress, and Lapalux. Among the most radical of these is Lunice’s take on “Demons,” which transforms the song into a wonked-out

This new track actually smacks

The post-shoegaze, post-post-noise, and post-post-post-punk duo No Age has been building up to the release of their fourth album since the end of last year. Snares Like a Haircut is set to drop on January 26 via Drag City, and “Send Me” is the latest teaser from it. I’ve
