Magdalena Mclean is best known for playing in caroline , the critically acclaimed British post-rock collective whose latest record was our Album Of

In 2024, London-based experimental singer-songwriter Martha Skye Murphy released her riveting debut album Um , which featured composer and guitarist Roy Montgomery on the beautiful single " Need ." Today, the pair is announcing a joint LP called Nebular . The enrapturing lead single "Cloudburst" it out now, and it's a sprawling seven and a half minutes.

With 2024's , Beabadoobee stuck mostly to the alt-pop sound she's known for. Now it looks like the English singer-songwriter — who turned 26 earlier this month — is pivoting to emo. Today, she's announcing her fourth studio album Pylon , and it features major alternative names like Hayley Williams, Matty Healy, Chino Moreno, Brendan Yates, and George Daniel, as well as low-key legends like Title Fight's Shane Moran and Pinegrove's Evan Stephens Hall.

A couple weeks ago, Stereogum's VJ Winter was on the red carpet of the Songwriters Hall Of Fame Induction at New York's Marriott Marquis Hotel. She talked with legends like Brandi Carlile, Kenny Loggins, and even Billy Corgan, who gave her an update on Zwan, his long-dormant supergroup with Jimmy Chamberlin, Matt Sweeney, David Pajo, and Paz Lenchantin. It turns out, the long-promised reissue is finally on the way, along with a lot more.

In 2024, Dean Blunt and Joanne Robertson released the joint album Backstage Raver , and the track "repeat offenders" featured Iceage's Elias Rønnenfelt. Now, the three musicians have reunited to somewhat officially share a new album via MediaFire. It features A$AP Rocky, Jeremih, Vegyn, Wraith9, evilgiane, and the Last Artful, Dodgr.

I miss Ovlov. The shoegazy indie rock crew hasn't released much since 2021's great Buds , though they shared some demos of those tracks last year. Frontman Steve Hartlett releases solo music occasionally, and now drummer Theo Hartlett is playing guitar in Gouge Away. But today we get Mannequin Pussy covering Ovlov, which is awesome.

In 2024, Morrissey complained that he was being erased from the Smiths' origin story, and now he's angry about it again. In a since-deleted Morrissey Central post titled "The Art Of Forgery," the singer said he was not invited to take part in the process of a forthcoming BBC Smiths documentary, and that it's critical of him while painting Johnny Marr, his longtime foe, as an "angel." In the lengthy screed, he says that Marr "has intentionally divided the Smiths audience into Marr or Morrissey factions."

Robert Smith recently earned his first-ever Hot 100 entry as a solo artist thanks to his wonderful Olivia Rodrigo collab " what's wrong with me ." Now, the Cure frontman appears on a new Rolling Stones single called "Divine Intervention."

We here at Stereogum are stoked for the new Smirk record, Speculative Fiction . Today's new single, "Going Off To Die," has us even more stoked. A fuzzy ripper about feeling "like an animal going off to die"? Great in theory, and great in practice.

In the time since her 2024 album For Your Consideration , Empress Of's family home in California burned down in the Altadena fires. She grappled with the tragedy on last year's " Blasting Through The Speakers " and March's " Dream House ," and now the singer-songwriter is announcing her new LP called Dream House
