Rapper Divine's Track 'Rider' Directed By Gil Green
Rapper Divine has teamed up with American music video and film director Gil Green for the music video of his new track “Rider”. The story of the song is inspired by Divine’s rags-to-riches tale. It is a love saga between a deprived dreamer, played by Divine, and an affluent boss woman, played by singer Lisa Mishra.
Samia Shares Punchy New "Lasting Friend" Video: Watch
Samia’s indie rock burns with a defiant energy. Over the past year, the 22-year-old songwriter has been dropping songs tangled in feminist anxieties and the confusion of growing up. And two weeks ago, she teamed up with Brooklyn’s Active Bird Community on the duet “Somewhere.” Today, we’re getting her newest single “Lasting Friend” along with its music video directed by Ruby Rose. It’s a punchy, fuzzed-out tune doused with unapologetic honesty.
Stephen Malkmus Announces "Rejected" Electronic Album 'Groove Denied': Hear "Viktor Borgia"
Stephen Malkmus has spent the last 13 years making an electronic record. It was ready last year, but Matador shelved it in favor of something a bit more straightforward. So the former Pavement frontman made an on-brand guitar album with the Jicks. Now that the Sparkle Hard album cycle has wrapped, his electronic venture is getting its due. In an interview last week, Malkmus revealed a few crucial details about the forthcoming record.
Chris Cohen Announces Self-Titled Album: Hear "Green Eyes"
For almost two decades, Chris Cohen has quietly had a hand in projects like the Curtains, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, Deerhoof, and Cass McCombs. But in recent years, the indie rock sideman has stepped into the spotlight and released two bleary solo records — 2012’s debut Overgrown Path and 2016’s As If Apart. And back in December, when Cohen reemerged with his first new music in two years, the standalone “Edit Out” seemed to promise more of his gauzy psych rock in 2019.
Hear Jonny Greenwood's Previously Unreleased 'There Will Be Blood' Bonus Tracks
Thom Yorke may have only recently jumped into film composition with his work for 2018’s Suspiria, but his bandmate Jonny Greenwood has been enjoying the dual career for the last 15 years. In that world, the Radiohead lead guitarist and keyboardist is best known for his ongoing partnership with director Paul Thomas Anderson. He’s scored all of Anderson’s recent projects, among them 2012’s The Master, 2014’s Inherent Vice, and 2017’s Phantom Thread, which earned him his first Oscar nomination.
James Blake's 'Assume Form': Stream The New Album With Andre 3000, Travis Scott, & More
James Blake almost got away with dropping yet another new record with little advance notice. But two weeks ago, Amazon fucked up and gave us something to look forward to. Since then, Blake has been teasing Assume Form, his fourth full-length and follow-up to 2016’s The Colour In Anything, on billboards and social media, only to spill all the hard details last Thursday.
La Luz's Shana Cleveland Announces Solo Album: Hear "Face Of The Sun"
In the interim between La Luz albums, frontwoman Shana Cleveland is embarking on a new project. She made her solo debut in 2015 as Shana Cleveland & The Sandcastles with the wandering, folky Oh Man, Cover The Ground. And now, she’s gearing up to release Night Of The Worm Moon, this time a bit more stag as just Shana Cleveland.
Mdou Moctar Announces New Album 'Ilana': Hear "Kamane Tarhanin"
Tuareg guitarist Mdou Moctar makes blistering and gritty psych rock. He’s an experimentalist who’s gained recognition from frenetic live shows, 2011’s Auto-Tune compilation Music From Saharan Cellphones, as well as his starring role in Niger’s remake of Prince’s musical drama Purple Rain — translated to Rain The Color Blue With A Little Red In It because there’s no word for purple in the Tuareg language. Today, he’s announcing his newest full-length Ilana, which translates to The Creator.

The New Zealand-born singer-songwriter Tamaryn has just announced a new album, Dreaming The Dark, that will be out in March. It’s her first full-length since 2015’s Cranekiss, and it was produced by and co-written with frequent collaborator Jorge Elbrecht. The duo most recently worked together on the title track for Elbrecht’s solo debut Here Lies early last year. Cranekiss swung Tamaryn’s gothy shoegaze in the direction of lush, synth-pop electronica.
Townes Van Zandt's "Sky Blue": Hear The Previously Unreleased Track
Townes Van Zandt made a career out of weathered, introspective songs dedicated to despair and yearning. Spanning nearly 30 years and 10 studio albums, the late Texan’s country-folk has endured, weary and enigmatic and elegant. And today’s previously unheard “Sky Blue” is no different. The track is part of Van Zandt’s forthcoming Sky Blue, his fifth posthumous collection to date.
Otoboke Beaver Announce New Album 'Itekoma Hits,' Share Crazed Video: Watch
Kyoto’s Otoboke Beaver bang out vicious garage punk at high speed. Last year, we premiered the quartet’s “anata watashi daita ato yome no meshi” 7″, which saw them throw their screams and savagery at the cruelty of love. The title translates to “After making love to me, you eat your wife’s cooking.” Today, they’re releasing its music video in promotion of their forthcoming album Itekoma Hits out this April. The video is pure insanity.
After signing to Epitaph back in September, Michigan’s La Dispute returned last month with the double single “ROSE QUARTZ”/“FULTON STREET I” to promote the forthcoming Panorama, their first proper album since 2014’s Rooms Of The House. Today, they’re dropping follow-up “FOOTSTEPS AT THE POND” along with another animated music video. The track sees the post-hardcore five-piece lean into their feelings.
Ex Hex Announce New Album 'It's Real': Hear "Cosmic Cave"
Last year, Ex Hex teased their imminent return on Instagram. We knew it wasn’t going to happen overnight, especially in the middle of bassist Betsy Wright’s Bat Fangs album cycle, but that was a year ago. And besides 2015’s one-off cover of the Real Kids “All Kindsa Girls,” we haven’t heard new Ex Hex since 2014’s excellent debut Rips.
Abjects Announce Debut LP: Watch The "Never Give Up" Video
Abjects make garage punk with the opposite effect of what their name might suggest.

And after Superdrag dissolved, came back in 2009 with Industry Giants, and then ended for good in 2014, Davis turned his efforts towards his shoegaze trio Lees Of Memory.
Laura Stevenson - "The Mystic & The Master" & "Maker Of Things"
Apart from her contribution to 2017’s Don’t Stop Now covers compilation benefiting the ACLU, we haven’t heard much from Laura Stevenson since the release of 2015’s Cocksure. But the New York songwriter returns today with a new double single in celebration of her mom’s birthday. All proceeds from its Bandcamp sales will go to the non-profit Safe Horizon, serving victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking.
Real Estate's Julian Lynch Shares New Single: Listen
New Jersey’s psychedelic experimentalist Julian Lynch has been making woozy, atmospheric music for almost a decade now. Since 2013’s fourth offering Lines, he’s shared the one-off “May” for a 2016 Dig That Treasure! charity compilation and replaced Matt Mondanile as Real Estate’s lead guitarist all the while in pursuit of a joint PhD in anthropology and ethnomusicology.
Alex Chilton - "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying" (Gerry And The Pacemakers Cover)
Aside from his cult icon status as the leader of the Box Tops and Big Star, Alex Chilton loved singing good ole classics right out of the Great American Songbook as taught to him by his jazz trumpeter father in the 1950s. The late rocker, who passed away in 2010, revisited a handful of those canonical hits back in the ’90s. And now New Jersey’s Bar/None Records is releasing the covers as part of their Songs From Robin Hood Lane collection.
Greg Dulli Sings "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas": Listen
Greg Dulli has decided to indulge in this year’s holiday music rollout. Coming off 2017’s reunion effort In Spades with his mainstay project the Afghan Whigs, the soul-rocker is debuting a less-than-festive solo rendition of “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” today ahead of the single’s official release this Friday. Dulli is no stranger to covers. Live shows from the Whigs and his other band the Twilight Singers have always overflowed with loving reinterpretations of other people’s songs.
Ludovic Alarie Shares First Song In English: Listen
Montreal’s Ludovic Alarie makes gentle, R&B-infused French pop.

And earlier this year, he started his own independent label Chou Chou Records. Today, Alarie is premiering his first single in English, “We’re a dream nobody wrote down,” via Chou Chou and Blonde Redhead’s New York label AsaWaKuru. The track follows a leisurely orbit.

In the years since Lambchop’s electrified 2016 release FLOTUS, Kurt Wagner’s legendary alt-country ensemble have covered Prince’s “When You Were Mine,” debuted a mini-documentary, and shared a reworked version of FLOTUS’ “The Hustle.” Now the Nashville mainstay is back, with Bon Iver/Hiss Golden Messenger drummer Matthew McCaughan in tow, to announce the forthcoming confessional This (is what I wanted to tell you).
Broken Bells Share First Track In 3 Years: Hear “Shelter”
Broken Bells, the collaborative project of Danger Mouse and the Shins’ James Mercer, have been positively silent over the last few years. The duo’s sophomore effort After The Disco arrived back in 2014. And in 2015, they dropped “It’s That Talk Again” in support of their concert film Broken Bells: Live At The Orpheum. Separately, Mercer and the Shins released Heartworms in 2017 and its reworked companion version The Worm’s Heart soon after.
Xiu Xiu Announce New Album With "Scisssssssors" Video: Watch
Apart from their Mitski collaboration for John Cameron Mitchell’s galactic romance How To Talk To Girls At Parties, Xiu Xiu have stayed relatively quiet since the release of 2017’s FORGET. Today the noise-pop veterans are back with a new lineup including Swans’ Thor Harris to announce their new album Girl With Basket Of Fruit, a play on the title of a 16th century Caravaggio painting, and share its lead single and culty music video.
Steve Gunn Shares New Single "Stonehurst Cowboy": Listen
Back in October, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Steve Gunn announced his upcoming fourth record The Unseen In Between and debuted its space-folk lead single “New Moon.” And today, he’s sharing its second offering, “Stonehurst Cowboy,” accompanied by a live acoustic video filmed in London’s Leake Street Graffiti Tunnel.

British shoegazers Swervedriver are gearing up to release their second post-breakup album Future Rains, the follow-up to 2015’s comeback I Wasn’t Born To Lose You. We’ve already heard album opener “Mary Winter” and the gravelly “Drone Lover,” and today they’re back with a shimmering and wistful third single. “The Lonely Crowd Fades In The Air” has a gentle softness undercut by the lyrics’ melancholic grandeur. Frontman Adam Franklin’s voice is smooth and calm.
HEALTH Announce New Album With "SLAVES OF FEAR" Video: Watch

Woodring returned two weeks ago to announce his forthcoming EP Final Boy and debut lead single “Be Right There.” He’s sharing its follow-up “Nothing You Do (Happens)” today.

Jered Gummere, ex-frontman for the Ponys and Bare Mutants, is back with his newest project Richard Vain.

NANCY Share "I’m Not Getting Sober, I’m Just Getting Older (Helluva Guy)": Listen
NANCY made their debut back in September with a “recreation” of “These Boots Are Made For Walkin'” that distorted the composed dominatrix of Nancy Sinatra’s original into a scuzzy, surfy darkness reminiscent the Cramps or B-52’s.
