<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-14T01:43:30+00:00“>May 13, 2021 | 9:43pm ET The Black Keys have released Delta Kream, a new covers album paying tribute to Mississippi Hill Country blues artists who inspired them. Stream it via Apple Music and Spotify below. The 11-track collection’s title comes from William Eggleston’s iconic Mississippi photograph that also doubles as the LP’s cover art. Among the musicians covered on the project are John Lee Hooker, R. L. Burnside, and David “Junior” Kimbrough.

St. Vincent Premieres New Album Daddy’s Home: Stream
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-14T01:55:11+00:00“>May 13, 2021 | 9:55pm ET St. Vincent has unveiled her seventh studio album, Daddy’s Home. Stream it below on Apple Music and Spotify. As it turns out, this is not Annie Clark’s Tool-inspired record that some fans were waiting for. Rather, Daddy’s Home comes from an intensely personal place, written in the aftermath of her father’s release from prison in 2019. Produced by Jack Antonoff, who previously worked with Clark on 2017’s MASSEDUCTION, the 14-song collection eschews the kinetic synth pop of that prior album in favor of a more “sleazy, grimy” sound, rooted in the classic funk and soul records that she heard in h...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-14T02:10:08+00:00“>May 13, 2021 | 10:10pm ET Paris Texas have unveiled their debut EP BOY ANONYMOUS. Stream it below with Apple Music and Spotify. Contrary to their name, Paris Texas aren’t actually from Paris, Texas. Rather, the duo of Louie Pastel and Felix hail from the Mecca of West Coast rap in Compton. While many young artists are eager to make statements that might draw attention to their art, Paris Texas seem to adhere to the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words. Instead of interviews or elaborate press releases, they’ve been focused on a stunning Instagram feed full of cryptic, evocative imagery. They haven’t said exactly what they’re up to, but we kno...

Stream it below via Apple Music and Spotify. Bright Green Field spans 11 tracks in total, including the previously released singles “Paddling” and “Narrator”. Squid went all in when creating the record, which can be heard in the 30-person choir, the horn and string ensemble, and their strange use of field recordings of bees. Props to producer Dan Carey (black midi, Bat For Lashes, Hot Chip) for making it all work together in a way that’s not too far off from LCD Soundsystem’s weirder moments. Back in March, we caught up with the five-piece band abou...

Stream it below with Apple Music or Spotify. Blade broke out last year with Aphelion’s Traveling Circus, while L’Orange has been bubbling just below mainstream success for close to a decade.

Stream it via Apple Music or Spotify below. TEKE::TEKE named themselves after a Japanese slang term for those into surf culture, which is an onomatopoeia that’s meant to sound like a surf guitar riff. Their sound is inspired by 1960s and 1970s era psychedelic Japanese soundtracks while mixing in modern punk influences. The nine-track Shirushi (or “signs of great changes to come”) covers themes of identity, spirituality, rebirth, and self-exploration, featuring supernatural storytelling across its lyrics.

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-30T17:56:03+00:00“>April 30, 2021 | 1:56pm ET Jónsi has surprise released his new score for the Amazon Original movie Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse. Stream it below via Apple Music and Spotify. Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse is an adaptation of the titular writer‘s best-selling novel. The film version follows a lost Navy SEAL (Michael B. Jordan) who cracks under pressure and decides to take on both drug lords and the Vietnamese after the death of his pregnant wife. It’s dramatic, thrilling, and full of plenty gripping fight scenes — as the film’s trailer showed — but ultimately it isn’t a fulfilling watch. However, for his original score, Jónsi translates all of that drama and tensi...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-30T16:44:10+00:00“>April 30, 2021 | 12:44pm ET Cult-favorite psych rockers Crumb have just released Ice Melt, their sophomore album and the follow-up to their 2019 debut Jinx.
