    Shady Bug Share New Single "seed": Listen (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Shady Bug, the St. Louis band that are the latest signees to Julia's War Recordings, will release their latest LP I wanted to be there at the end of this month. Holy crap, it's October. Anyway, they've already shared the lead single "my night routine," and today, they've followed it up with the new single "seed." "seed" begins scraggly and discordant. Whirly guitars and pounding drums come in spurts like an unrelenting panic attack. When the track eventually slows, trying to catch its breath, th

    THICK are fucking back, baby. The Brooklyn quartet, which we dubbed a Band To Watch in 2018, have returned with a new single "Heavy Metal."

Her full take, whic

    Smush Announce New Album 'i’ll always wish,,': Hear "milkweed butterfly" (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    In February, Brooklyn-via-Vancouver group Smush made me understand Norah Jones and Owl City in a whole new way. Their covers EP Standards, which also featured takes on Big Rig, Hotline TNT, and Field Medic, breathed kinetic glitchy/shoegazey bliss into modern classics. Today, they're back with new original music: a spiky single, "milkweed butterfly," that announces their sophomore album i’ll always wish,, coming early next year. I love when genres have an explosive chemical reaction. That's what
