Just days after being hospitalized due to a severe car accident, Detroit rapper Boldy James has continued to let new music flow with Indiana Jones, his new album in collaboration with producer RichGains. Stream it via Apple Music or Spotify below. Clocking in at 17 tracks, Indiana Jones heavily features Sir Michael Rocks of Chicago rap duo The Cool Kids, who appears on three tracks. Singer Jonathan Chapman, Detroit King Tape, and stuntwoman and singer Cassie Jo Craig also appear on multiple songs. Rounding out the guest list are Ann One, Chuckstaaa, Jai Imani, and Sammy Haig. RichGains previously worked on Freddie Gibbs’ 2018 album, Freddie, and his laidback, sample-based production is a good fit for Boldy’s self-assured flow and punchline-heavy rhymes.

파란노을 (Parannoul), the elusive, anonymous Korean artist who’s become a cult favorite with extremely online indie rock fans, is returning this month with a new full-length album. After the Magic is out January 28th with physicals distributed by Topshelf Records. In typical Parannoul fashion, there’s not much we know about this new record right now. All the musician has said about the project is: “This album is not what you expected, but what I always wanted.” Will it be their usual breed of fuzzy, mathy, shoegaze-infused emo? We have no idea! Exciting! Sign up over at Topshelf’s website to be notified whenever physical LPs of After the Magic by Parannoul are available to pre-order. See the artwork for the album below.

Today, January 19th is Dolly Parton’s birthday, but her fans are the ones getting a present. The country legend has shared the sly new song, “Don’t Make Me Have to Come Down There,” which is told from the perspective of a disappointed parental figure: God. As the new Rock and Roll Hall of Famer explains in the song’s intro, the idea came to her in a dream, while many of the lyrics sound like something your mom and dad might have yelled down the stairs. “Don’t make me have to come down there,” she sings, “My children you had best beware/ Clean up this mess and put on something decent to wear/ Don’t make me have to come down there.” She also threatens to “take my Bible belt and whip you into shape,” and warns, “You know I put you in this world and I can take you out....
Alison Goldfrapp has formally stepped out on her own with her first official solo single, “Digging Deeper.” Best known as one-half of Goldfrapp, her long-running synth-pop duo with Will Gregory, the artist teamed up with German producer Claptone for the first of “a series of advance collaborations with some wonderful guys from the club world,” as she revealed on Instagram. Over a house-influenced beat, she sings about finding deeper meaning: “Ooh I’m digging deeper now/ I know I’ll find a way to the heart.” In a statement, Goldfrapp described the track as “effortlessly gliding through air, on a gloriously hot breezy night arriving at a blissed-out dancefloor on the island of my dreams.” Claptone added, “I’ve always been enchanted by the magic world she created and her stunning voice, so I ...
Austin electronic artist Bayonne has announced his third studio album, Temporary Time. The LP is out May 26th via Nettwerk, and along with the news, he’s shared first single “Right Thing.” “To me the overall narrative of Temporary Time is the events following my Dad’s cancer diagnosis in early 2019,” Bayonne said in a statement. “The record explores the emotional journey we went through as a family coming to terms with his declining health. Not every song covers this, but that presentiment is lingering in the back of my mind through it all.” Bayonne continued, “During much of the recording process, I was in a pretty deep state of depression, which is pronounced throughout some of the lyricism. I started focusing on my mental health and things eventually became much easier for me, but ...
Fall Out Boy have announced their new album, So Much (For) Stardust, out March 24th via Fueled by Ramen/Elektra Records.

There’s nothing wrong with that, and that spontaneity can be exciting,” Stump said. “But we wanted to get back to the way we used to work. We wanted to make a record that was really lovingly crafted and deliberate and patiently guided — like someone cooked ...
