Stereogum — Underscores’ great new album U arrived last month. As part of the album rollout festivities, the singer/songwriter/producer played a DJ set in a Los Angeles dry cleaners, mixing U highlights with seemingly everything from Rihanna to Janet Jackson to Boys Noize. It’s great! She followed that up by doing another pop-up DJ set in Los… The post Underscores Follows Set At Dry Cleaners With Guest-Filled U-Haul Pop-Up appeared first on Stereogum. more info

Stereogum — No, we still don’t know when Stove is coming. Lana Del Rey’s long-delayed new album —initially announced as a country album called Lasso — remains an enigma. But it’s not that she refuses to put out new music: In February she dropped the single “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter.” Today she’s back with “First… The post Lana Del Rey Shares Theme From New James Bond Game appeared first on Stereogum. more info

Stereogum — "I think the dancefloor is dead, so now we’re making rock music." That's the money quote. Charli XCX is the subject of a new British Vogue cover story, and it's mostly about her work on the proper follow-up to her career-exploding 2024 landmark Brat . Charli has been extremely busy since Brat. She just released her Wuthering Heights soundtrack album in February, and she's acting in approximately one million movies this year, but apparently she's had time to work on another record amid all of that.

Stereogum — The magic of Broken Social Scene is the same as it ever was: They’re a group of roughly one million scruffy motherfuckers up onstage playing guitar, and they sound like a group of roughly one million scruffy motherfuckers up onstage playing guitar. There’s a sense of communal joy in their blurrily maximalist indie rock, and… The post Broken Social Scene – “The Call” appeared first on Stereogum. more info

Stereogum — To me, “Fade Into You” is not a song that makes sense as a duet. Mazzy Star’s 1993 classic is a solitary murmur of sleepy longing. There’s obviously a “you” in the song, but I think the “you” exists entirely in the singer’s head. The song is not an act of communication. It’s all internal.… The post Gregory Alan Isakov & Sylvan Esso – “Fade Into You” (Mazzy Star Cover) appeared first on Stereogum. more info

Stereogum — Today is an historic occasion: There’s a new Tom Waits song in the world. “Boots On The Ground” is Waits’ first new original release since 2011’s Bad As Me, though he released a “Bella Ciao” cover with Marc Ribot in 2018. It’s also the first new Massive Attack song since 2020’s Eutopia EP. “Boots On… The post Massive Attack & Tom Waits – “Boots On The Ground” appeared first on Stereogum. more info
