Margaret Farrell — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 21:11:54 +0000

I implore you to listen to Arima Ederra’s sophomore album A Rush To Nowhere. The Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter’s follow-up to 2022’s An Orange Colored Day captures that feeling when your lungs make room for extra oxygen and life slows down. Things begin to feel more tangible, clearer. A Rush To Nowhere has an urgent ’80s rock…

Deloyd Elze’s Deconstructed Country Ballads Sound Splendid On The New Nellene EP

Chris DeVille — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 20:41:22 +0000

LA-based Deloyd Elze specializes in deconstructed sad-eyed alt-country. There’s more than a little Bon Iver in the way he dissects the singer-songwriter format, but there’s nothing abstract about his deep drawl and plainspoken lyrics, which remind me of everyone from Fust to Justin Townes Earle to Zach Bryan at times. Sorry to go full RIYL…

DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ – “HeartsDesires”

Tom Breihan — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 17:49:58 +0000

We’re spoiled. The mysterious sample wizard known as DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ releases so much warm, nostalgia-drenched music that you can just immerse yourself in her sound and lose all touch with reality. That’s a fun thing to do. I recommend it. In December, DJ Sabrina released her fantastical album Fantasy, which is 40…

John Dwyer Shares Surprise New OSEES EP Cara Maluco, Damaged Bug Single “Over-Exposed”

I wonder if psychedelic garage rock overlord John Dwyer can keep all of his projects straight in his mind. He definitely doesn’t make it easy for anyone else. Dwyer releases a lot of music under a lot of different names, and two of his projects, OSEES and Damaged Bug, have new tracks out today. OSEES,…

Keanu Reeves looked at his bass and whisper-shouted through gritted teeth, “People keep asking if I’m back, and I haven’t really had an answer. But now, yeah! I’m thinking I’m back!” This is me being stupid. Keanu Reeves probably did not actually do that. But on the subject of rocking out with his reunited ’90s…

Amber Mark, J Balvin, Travis Barker, and Steve Vai have teamed up to cover Van Halen’s “Jump” as the Coca-Cola Anthem for the FIFA World Cup 2026. Does this make sense? Absolutely not. Is it terrible? Only a little bit. Do I ever want to hear it again? No. That said, Mark’s voice sounds good…

The Mountain Goats & Mary Chapin Carpenter Team Up On Two New Cover Songs

Tom Breihan — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 15:43:12 +0000

Here’s a combination I never expected to see. Country-folk star Mary Chapin Carpenter was been making stately, pretty music since 1987. In the ’90s, she sold millions and won a bunch of Grammys. She was one of my dad’s favorite singers. Carpenter turns out to be friends with John Darnielle, frontman of the Mountain Goats,…

ME REX rang in 2026 with the new single “Angel Hammer,” which saw the playful London indie rockers go a slightly more experimental route.

Toronto-based producer Loukeman has been pretty lowkey since his last album, 2024’s Sd-2.

Glasgow-based musicians Megan Pollock and Desmond Johnston make up the band Cowboy Hunters.
