<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-14T21:11:43+00:00“>May 14, 2021 | 5:11pm ET Danny Brown and Bruiser Brigade Records have dropped the new compilation album TV62. Stream it below via Bandcamp. Bruiser Brigade began as the title to one of Brown’s solo EPs, then morphed into a Detroit hip-hop collective and, now, a proper record label. So far this year it’s put out J.U.S.’ GOD GOKU JAY-Z, Fat Ray’s Santa Barbara, and Bruiser Wolf’s Dope Game Stupid. You’ll want to remember the names, because all three MCs shine on TV62. Brown himself lords over four of the 16 songs, but his presence as executive producer is felt on every track in the impeccable selection of beats. Most of the production comes fr...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-14T15:39:27+00:00“>May 14, 2021 | 11:39am ET Jorja Smith has released Be Right Back, her new eight-track project and follow-up to 2018’s Lost and Found. Stream it below via Apple Music and Spotify. She’s also shared a video for the song “Bussdown”. This is Smith’s first studio release in three years, but don’t call it an album. According to the R&B singer, it’s more like an EP than anything else. “It’s called be right back because it’s just something I want my fans to have right now,” she said when announcing it last month. “This isn’t an album and these songs wouldn’t have made it. If I needed to make these songs, then someone needs to hear them too.” Be Right Back is a...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-14T15:45:45+00:00“>May 14, 2021 | 11:45am ET Smol Data have unveiled their new debut album Inconvenience Store. Stream it below via Apple Music or Spotify. Lead songwriter Karah Goldstein wrote and recorded all of Inconvenience Store, with mastering by Billy Mannino (oso oso). The album works as a concept album about the Long Island music scene — songs about money, jealousy, and insecurity come at you faster than your 30th birthday, creating a feeling so specific it becomes universal. “Inconvenience Store is a collection of ten individual stories about the insane little art community you made the center of your universe as a teenager — and the one you are now,...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-14T01:43:30+00:00“>May 13, 2021 | 9:43pm ET The Black Keys have released Delta Kream, a new covers album paying tribute to Mississippi Hill Country blues artists who inspired them. Stream it via Apple Music and Spotify below. The 11-track collection’s title comes from William Eggleston’s iconic Mississippi photograph that also doubles as the LP’s cover art.

The entire album was recorded in ten hours spread out over two afternoons at the end of their tour for 2019’s Let’s Rock. During the session, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney were joined by Kenny Brown an...
St. Vincent Premieres New Album Daddy’s Home: Stream
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-14T01:55:11+00:00“>May 13, 2021 | 9:55pm ET St. Vincent has unveiled her seventh studio album, Daddy’s Home. Stream it below on Apple Music and Spotify. As it turns out, this is not Annie Clark’s Tool-inspired record that some fans were waiting for. Rather, Daddy’s Home comes from an intensely personal place, written in the aftermath of her father’s release from prison in 2019. Produced by Jack Antonoff, who previously worked with Clark on 2017’s MASSEDUCTION, the 14-song collection eschews the kinetic synth pop of that prior album in favor of a more “sleazy, grimy” sound, rooted in the classic funk and soul records that she heard in h...
Paris Texas Unveil New EP BOY ANONYMOUS: Stream
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-14T02:10:08+00:00“>May 13, 2021 | 10:10pm ET Paris Texas have unveiled their debut EP BOY ANONYMOUS. Stream it below with Apple Music and Spotify. Contrary to their name, Paris Texas aren’t actually from Paris, Texas. Rather, the duo of Louie Pastel and Felix hail from the Mecca of West Coast rap in Compton. While many young artists are eager to make statements that might draw attention to their art, Paris Texas seem to adhere to the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words. Instead of interviews or elaborate press releases, they’ve been focused on a stunning Instagram feed full of cryptic, evocative imagery. They haven’t said exactly what they’re up to, but we kno...

Stream it below via Apple Music and Spotify. Bright Green Field spans 11 tracks in total, including the previously released singles “Paddling” and “Narrator”. Squid went all in when creating the record, which can be heard in the 30-person choir, the horn and string ensemble, and their strange use of field recordings of bees. Props to producer Dan Carey (black midi, Bat For Lashes, Hot Chip) for making it all work together in a way that’s not too far off from LCD Soundsystem’s weirder moments. Back in March, we caught up with the five-piece band abou...

Stream it below with Apple Music or Spotify. Blade broke out last year with Aphelion’s Traveling Circus, while L’Orange has been bubbling just below mainstream success for close to a decade.

Stream it via Apple Music or Spotify below. TEKE::TEKE named themselves after a Japanese slang term for those into surf culture, which is an onomatopoeia that’s meant to sound like a surf guitar riff. Their sound is inspired by 1960s and 1970s era psychedelic Japanese soundtracks while mixing in modern punk influences. The nine-track Shirushi (or “signs of great changes to come”) covers themes of identity, spirituality, rebirth, and self-exploration, featuring supernatural storytelling across its lyrics.
