But the real heart is the romance. Luca had mentioned the idea of an acoustic guitar. So, we worked around esta...
Phoenix Return with New Album Alpha Zulu: Stream
Phoenix return today with their long-awaited seventh album Alpha Zulu, their first full-length since 2017’s Ti Amo. Phoenix recorded Alpha Zulu in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (a.k.a. Museum of Decorative Arts) in Paris. “For every album, we’ve always tried to find an unusual place, a place that’s not dedicated for music, to a ridiculous extent sometimes,” explained frontman Thomas Mars in an interview with Consequence. “So for this album, instead of gold records on the wall, it was Napoleon’s throne.” Guitarist Christian Mazzalai added in a statement: “I was a bit afraid, when there was too much beauty around us, that to create something could be a bit hard. But it was the opposite: we couldn’t stop producing music. In these first 10 days, we wrote almost all of ...

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard Reveal New Album Change: Stream
It’s another New Music Friday, which means we’re due for another King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard record: Changes, the Aussie psych-rockers third studio album of October and 23rd overall, is out today. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard technically began working on Changes back in 2017, but it took a while until they were satisfied with the songs that wound up on the record, which includes the single “Hate Dancin.’” “I think of Changes as a song-cycle,” vocalist Stu Mackenzie said in a press release. “Every song is built around this one chord progression — every track is like a variation on a theme.” He continued: “But I don’t know if we had the musical vocabulary yet to complete the idea at that time. We recorded some of it then, including the version of ‘Explo...
Sleater-Kinney Unveil Star-Studded Dig Me In: A Dig Me Out Covers Album: Stream
Sleater-Kinney’s seminal 1997 album Dig Me Out passed its 25th anniversary this year, and now, the band has celebrated the record by unveiling Dig Me In: A Dig Me Out Covers Album. Listen to the project below. As Sleater-Kinney explained in a statement, “The artists who appear on Dig Me In have not so much covered the 13 original songs, but reinterpreted and reimagined them. Through added layers or the subtraction of guitars and drums, they provide a new way into the songs. Fresh rage, joy, pain, reclamation, slyness, and longing. Other interpretations slow down or stretch out the songs, trading urgency for contemplation, weariness or even a hint of ease.” Among the artists featured on Dig Me In are frequent Sleater-Kinney collaborator St. Vincent, clear Sleater-Kinney prote...

Arctic Monkeys Return With New Album The Car: Stream
Get your 2014 Tumblr flannels — or, rather, your 1970s hot pants — ready, because Arctic Monkeys have unveiled their new album The Car. In his review of the album, Paolo Ragusa says that The Car “is sonically aligned with the slow-burning psych pop of 2018’s Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, the band farther away than ever from the tense post-punk or bluesy garage rock that characterized much of their output pre-2018. Orchestral flourishes, though not overwhelmingly frequent, give many of The Car’s songs a classic feel, while Turner’s vocal persona evokes a midlife crisis David Bowie.” Arctic Monkeys previewed The Car with the singles “There’d Better Be a Mirrorball” (which we named Song of the Week) and “Body Paint” (which they performed on Fallon).

For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go search – hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve … we’ll meet ourselves.” The follow-up to 2020’s folklore and evermore, the 13-track project was once again produced by Jack Antonoff and features a collaborative song with Lana Del Rey. Zoë Kravitz and Swift’s boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, also have songwr...
