Beach Bunny, the Chicago four-piece led by Lili Trifilio, have finally shared their long-awaited sophomore album. Emotional Creature is out today via Mom+Pop. Emotional Creature was largely informed by Trifilio’s love of sci-fi stories and the Y2K pop of her childhood idols like the Jonas Brothers. The Artist of the Month alums recorded the follow-up to their 2020 debut Honeymoon at Chicago’s Shirk Studios with producer Sean O’Keefe, known for work with pop-punk legends like Fall Out Boy and Motion City Soundtrack. “We are always changing, growing, and adapting — it’s a deeply ingrained part of the human experience,” Trifilio wrote in a statement. “We strive to be stronger, trust we’ll grow smarter, and spend most of our lives reaching for comfort and happiness. Sometimes, l...
Jack White has released his new acoustic album Entering Heaven Alive via his Third Man Records. Take a listen below. The studio set is the fifth solo effort and second of 2022 for the Nashville rocker, following Fear of the Dawn. Arriving just three months after its predecessor, Entering Heaven Alive was preceded by acoustic lead single “Love Is Selfish” in between the cacophony of Fear of the Dawn tracks “Taking Me Back,” “Hi-De-Ho” featuring Q-Tip, and “What’s the Trick?” White is the subject of Consequence‘s latest digital cover story, in which he details his mindset while making and releasing two albums in tandem. “I thought it was going to be one very eclectic record,” he said. “I never set out to do a one-mood record before. The first White Stripes record is a raw Detroit record — ev...
Sample clearance issues be damned, Joey Bada$$’s new album 2000 has arrived. Listen to the project below. The follow-up to 2017’s ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$, Joey first announced 2000 would be out on June 17th, just a few days after the 10th anniversary of his debut mixtape 1999. Unfortunately, getting the LP’s samples cleared proved to be a difficult process, forcing the rapper to push the record’s release back to July 22nd. Now, however, the 14-track project is officially available to stream. It features the previously released single “Where I Belong,” as well as the March track “Head High.” The tracklist also boasts collaborations with Diddy, West Side Gunn, and JID.

It may be Cancer season, but Steve Lacy has released his new album Gemini Rights via L-M Records/RCA Records. The studio effort — The Internet guitarist’s sophomore solo outing — arrives a little over three years after 2019’s Apollo XXI and contains singles “Mercury,” “Bad Habit,” and the Fousheé collab “Sunshine.” “Gemini Rights is essentially me coming into myself after a breakup,” the artist said in an interview with The Recording Academy a few days before the album’s release. “It’s a story that is very fluid [and] very fun. To me, the subject matter could be sad if you look at it that way, but I feel like it is way more hopeful — and that’s the story: finding happiness. I’m finding myself after a heartbreak and I am excited for people to hear this record.” Advertisement Related Video D...

Featuring singles “Talk,” “See you Soon,” and “Lovesong,” the studio set serves as a follow-up to the alt-rocker’s breakout 2020 debut Fake It Flowers. The sophomore LP includes a collaboration with PinkPantheress titled “tinkerbell is overrated.” In an interview with NME, beabadoobee expounded on the concept of Beatopia as an imaginary world she created as a child. “It was much more of a physical thing when I was seven,” she told the outlet. “I thought I could literally be in this world – I think it was just a way of escaping everything that was happening in life at that time, and then I forgot about it because shit happened. Then I just realised that I could finally accept it now and I could ma...
Johnny Depp and Jeff Beck have unveiled 18, their new collaborative album, via Deuce Music/Warner. Take a listen below. The LP shows off the pair’s rock-centric take on everything from the Beach Boys (“Caroline, No”) and The Velvet Underground (“Venus in Furs”) to Marvin Gaye (“What’s Going On), The Miracles (“Ooh Ooh Baby”), The Everly Brothers (“Let It Be Me”), and beyond. Also included on the 13-song tracklist are two original songs by the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, titled “Sad Motherfuckin’ Parade” and “This Is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr,” as well as a cover of John Lennon’s “Isolation” that isn’t available on streaming.

Momma, Consequence’s July Artist of the Month, return today (July 1st) with the release of their third studio LP, Household Name. Spearheaded by longtime friends Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten, Household Name is the Brooklyn act’s fuzziest, catchiest album yet. Initially bonding over a mutual obsession with Alex G, Friedman and Weingarten began writing music together while attending high school in California. Even as they graduated and subsequently attended colleges multiple states apart, the two continued creating under the name Momma. Now rounded out with Aron Kobayashi Ritch, Momma continue to ascend with Household Name. Inspired by the absurdities of the music industry, different relationships, and the archetype of the ‘90s rockstar, Household Name finds Momma embracing the influ...

Half Waif goes back to the basics today with a surprise-released EP called Portraits. The four-track project sees the band’s Nandi Rose take two tracks each from her two previous full-length albums — 2020’s The Caretaker and last year’s Mythopoetics — and rework them into starkly stunning piano pieces. Throughout her discography under her Half Waif moniker, Rose has mixed her classical training with elements of pop and indie rock. Portraits is, in a sense, a return to form for her, allowing her to revisit her songs “Swimmer,” “My Best Self,” “Fortress,” and “Ordinary Talk” through a new lens. “I came to music and to songwriting when I was a kid, singing at a piano,” Rose explains in a press release. ”Over the years, I learned to build layered arrangements around the son...
