Last month, Friko — one of the Best New Artists Of 2024 — announced a deluxe expanded edition of their debut album . It arrives this Friday with 11 new bonus tracks, including studio outtakes, exactly one My Bloody Valentine cover, and today's new single “Pride Trials.” The band say it's probably the oldest song of the bunch, with an almost Sufjan Stevens-like acoustic guitar instrumental. Listen below.

It'll probably be a few weeks before Coachella announces their 2025 lineup, but little birds have been giving us clues here and there about who might perform. Last month, we heard that Fred again.. was a “lock” for the festival. Today, Post Malone has announced his forthcoming Big Ass Stadium Tour — his words, not mine — in support of his recent country-crossover album . And would you look at that? He's got shows in Indio, California scheduled for Apr. 13 and 20.

Before there was “ Espresso ,” there was “Feather,” the song that earned Sabrina Carpenter her first Top 40 hit and also put her in a bit of hot water. Its music video, released on Halloween last year, features a scene where Carpenter frolics inside Our Lady Of Mount Carmel-Annunciation Parish in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. She's wearing a teeny-tiny tulle dress and there's a coffin that says “RIP BITCH.” Some folks really, really did not like it. Now, the priest who allowed the music video shoot to happen has been relieved of his duties, again.

Genesis' landmark album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway turns 50 years old this year. Today, they've announced they're marking the occasion with a new Super Deluxe Edition of the double LP, featuring a full remaster, a new Dolby ATMOS mix, a recording of an entire 1975 concert, three previously unheard demos, and various other ephemera from the era.

From a new EP out this week.

Patterson Hood’s last solo album Heat Lightning Rumbles In The Distance arrived way back in 2012. Today, the Drive-By Truckers co-founder has announced its follow-up Exploding Trees & Airplane Screams, arriving in February. The lead single “A Werewolf And A Girl” is out now.

Hey, two more new Aminé songs! Just shy of a month ago, the Portland rapper released “Adam” and the Smino-assisted “Passenger Princess“; now, he’s back with another two-fer with “s2wik” and “Wingz,” the latter of which features Twin Cities producer/rapper Cardo Got Wings. Together, all four songs comprise Aminé’s new EP .mp.3s.

Kim Deal doesn't care much for the beach. “I don't like hot weather,” she tells me over Zoom. “I'm from Ohio. I don't go into the ocean. I don't do water sports. But then again, I do like the view.”

Mac Miller was sitting on a lot of unreleased music when he died unexpectedly at 26 in 2018.

It's been quite a while since we've heard from Sacred Paws. The Glasgow/London duo of Ray Aggs and Eilidh Rodgers made some buzz with their 2017 debut album Strike A Match and its 2019 follow-up Run Around The Sun , making a unique brand of arty post-punk with a sunny Afrobeat flair. This week, Sacred Paws are back after five years with the new single “Another Day.”
