Dave Grohl Unleashes Heavy Metal Dream Widow EP: Stream
Dave Grohl is nothing if not committed to the bit, which is why he’s recorded an entire trash metal EP under the name Dream Widow to coincide with his new Foo Fighters horror-comedy movie, Studio 666. You can listen to the “self-titled” EP — which, for all of its jokes, kind of goes hard — below. Grohl first unveiled the Dream Widow project back in February, when they quietly shared the thrasher “March of the Insane” like it was just another feel-good anthem. Speaking to Howard Stern, Grohl explained that Dream Widow was a central plot point to Studio 666. “I wind up finding this creepy basement. And I go into the basement, I find this tape by a band [Dream Widow] from 25 years ago that recorded there. And there’s this song that, if recorded and completed, the fucking demon in the house is...

Curry also collaborates with Robert Glasper, Rico Nasty, JID, 6LACK, and more. Advertisement Related Video This spring and ...
Charli XCX Drops CRASH (Deluxe Version): Stream
Charli XCX has unveiled the deluxe edition of her latest album CRASH. Stream it below on Spotify and Apple Music. The pop star let the secret slip just hours before releasing the new version featuring an even bloodier Charli trading out her white black bikini for a white one as she leans over the windshield of yet another crashed vehicle in the new artwork. In the hours ahead of midnight, the singer also offered fans the challenge of unlocking snippets of the album’s four bonus tracks — “Selfish Girl,” “I Don’t Give a Fuck,” “Sorry If I Hurt You,” and “How Can I Not Know What I Need Right Now” — but only if they could come up with the codes to open the “CRASH Vault” through Spotify. Now, everyone can hear CRASH (Deluxe) via their DSP of Choice. Advertisement Related Video Just last we...
Destroyer Share New Album LABYRINTHITIS: Stream
Destroyer have released their new album LABYRINTHITIS. Stream it below via Bandcamp or Apple Music. The creative process for LABYRINTHITIS largely took place in the isolation of 2020, with songwriter Dan Bejar in Vancouver sending ideas to frequent collaborator John Collins on the nearby Galiano Island. They found inspiration for the resulting 10-track LP in disco, Art of Noise, and New Order. “I think when we discovered, as per yoozh, that we weren’t going to be making a techno record, it wasn’t going to be sidelong Donna Summer style tracks, the idea then became — especially once John really started being inundated with bonafide music made by actual humans — to make the most disorienting record we could,” Bejar told BrooklynVegan in a recent interview. “It is relentlessly upbea...

Rosalía Releases New Album MOTOMAMI: Stream

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard Team with Tropical Fuck Storm for New EP: Stream
Australian rock bands King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and Tropical Fuck Storm have shared a collaborative EP titled Satanic Slumber Party. Stream it below. The three-track project was recorded while King Gizzard were working on their 2019 album Fishing for Fishies with Tropical Fuck Storm’s Gareth Liddiard. Per the latter group’s Fiona Kitschin, the EP was born out of the same jam session that resulted in King Gizzard’s latest single, “The Dripping Tap.” “After a long day recording and a few too many drinks, the Gizz guys and us all wore hats and recorded a very long jam, which we called ‘Hat Jam,” Kitschin recalled in a press statement. “Gizz took ideas from the jam and made up a new song called the ‘Dripping Tap’ and Tropical Fuck Storm took the ‘Hat Jam’ recording and turned it into ...
Billie Eilish and FINNEAS Share “1 True Love” from Pixar’s Turning Red Soundtrack: Stream
Billie Eilish and her brother/musical partner in crime FINNEAS have shared the track “1 True Love” today, one of their multiple contributions to Disney and Pixar’s Turning Red. The new movie — whose protagonist is a 13-year-old girl named Mei who can transform into a giant red panda — features a fictional boyband called 4*Town, and the real-life pop duo were tasked with writing all of the group’s songs for the soundtrack. Like the previously-shared “Nobody Like U,” “1 True Love” puts FINNEAS’ vocals at the forefront. But while the former song is a tried-and-true pop banger, this one takes things down a notch, resorting to a more balladic R&B-inspired sound. The track begins with a melodramatic piano riff that later explodes into a stadium-sized breakdown about halfway through. “Yo...

The London native’s new studio effort arrives three years after she burst onto the map with her 2019 debut album Miss Universe, and two years after the Feeling Lucky? EP. PAINLESS was preceded by singles “stabilise” and “midnight sun,” both of which made the tracklist for the 12-song LP. PAINLESS also shows off a marked sonic shift from the bedroom pop of the singer-songwriter’s debut firmly into indie rock territory. “I think I realized, to me, my music always sounded like rock music, but maybe to other people it hadn’t,” she told NPR ahead of the new album’s release. “Now I’m like, it’s definitely rock music.” Advertisement Related Video In her chat with the ou...
