And then I decide, ‘You know what? I don’t wanna live like that anymore. I ...

Nick Murphy is back with new music, except this time it’s under his Chet Faker alter ego. After five long years, the Australian artist has revived the old moniker for a new single called “Low”.

Shamir’s Self-Titled Album Shows Them Coming into Their Own: Review
The Lowdown: In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Shamir referred to their new album as “definitely a COVID record.” The Philadelphia-based nonbinary artist, born Shamir Bailey, has cited influences all over the map for the album recorded entirely in quarantine, from Gwen Stefani and Miranda Lambert to Unsolved Mysteries and My Friend Dahmer, and you can hear it in the music. Despite being only 25, Shamir has already released a prolific number of albums and EPs, all of them experimenting boldly with indie rock, electronics, R&B, and pop styles branching back through several decades. Their self-titled album is a sure-handed invention that finds their myriad influences colliding and coalescing more smoothly than ever before and ultimately crystallizing into something new. [e...

The Dillinger Escape Plan’s Greg Puciato has released his solo debut, Child Soldier: Creator of God, three weeks early after the album was leaked online by a reviewer.

Netsky on New Album “Second Nature,” His Return to Hospital Records, and More [Interview]
Ten years ago, a rising drum & bass star called Netsky released his self-titled album debut on Hospital Records, and fans weren’t been able to get enough since. The release of his sophomore effort, 2, propelled Netsky even further into the spotlight, but when the next album in the number sequence was released (and not on Hospital Records), a schism formed between drum & bass purists and fans of Netsky’s more experimental, pop-infused offerings. In April of this year, however, naysayers were silenced as Netsky released a new drum & bass single via Hospital, “I See The Future In Your Eyes.” That single was followed by “Mixed Emotions “(feat. Montell2099),” and those two tracks were just the beginning of the talen...
