Obscure Sound — Montreal-based duo The Night Owls capture the liberation of shedding others’ burdens on their single “Someone Else’s Shadow.” Blending Simon Arsenault’s progressive rock background with Marianne Bourgeois’ poetic songwriting and vocal work, the track uses meditative string arrangements and “jungle beat” percussion to create a riveting atmosphere, parts folk and parts art-rock. “Take a risk or take the fall, there’s a chance to rise again,” a haunting multi-layered vocal appears to start, set amidst trickling acoustics and forlorn strings, which emerge after the affecting “it’s not easy to leave the past behind” lyricism.

Conjuring a sound fondly reminiscent of Mitski in its ascent from dreamy contemplations into a soaring, fuzzed-out “wanna see you every single day” admission, “talking stage” delights in its array of jangly guitars, distortion-laden ardor, and magnetic vocal hooks. A harmonious, hooky rock production complements an artful, heart-on-sleeve lyrical drive, capturing a blossoming relationship — where things remain uncertain, apart from burning passion and unbridled excitement.

Obscure Sound — Led by singer-songwriter Dave Macleod, London-based project trainboy succeeds with a heartfelt, jangly allure on new album I Am Not Myself. Following the success of the Stay Inside EP, this collection draws on a rich lineage ranging from The Velvet Underground and Orange Juice to contemporary acts like Snail Mail and DIIV.

Stereogum — In just a couple of weeks Justin Bieber will headline Coachella. Aside from a few private parties and one Grammys performance, that would've been Biebs' first proper show in a couple of years — that is, until he did a surprise warm-up show to a crowd of a few hundred at the Roxy in West Hollywood last night. The 25-song set was split evenly between songs from his 2025 albums Swag and Swag II — almost entirely live debuts — and absolutely nothing else. Much like his Grammys performance, it looks like it was a minimal setup with just Bieber onstage.
