100 gecs are back tenfold: Not only has the cult duo just announced that their next album 10,000 gecs is due out on March 17th, but they’ve surprise released a new called Snake Eyes EP. Since they came out swinging with their 2019 debut LP 1,000 gecs, 100 gecs’ Dylan Brady and Laura Les helped turn hyperpop from an underground subgenre into the sound of a generation. If the handful of singles they’ve release in the few years since are any indication, 10,000 gecs will see them go where no gec has dared to go before. Pre-orders for its physical release are ongoing. The three-song Snake Eyes EP includes the first official release of fan-favorite “Hey Big Man,” which 100 gecs have teased as the opener of their more recent live shows.

Danny Elfman Unveils Soundtrack for Noah Baumbach’s White Noise: Stream
Danny Elfman has shared his soundtrack for White Noise, Noah Baumbach’s upcoming disaster film adapted from Dom DeLillo’s eponymous novel. Starring Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig as a husband and wife in a crisis, White Noise is billed as equal parts hilarious absurdism and apocalyptic terror, all filtered through Baumbach’s eccentric lens. Leave it to Elfman — whose repertoire is just as wide-ranging — to set the scene with an eerily whimsical score. “Composing for White Noise was really exciting because there’s no singular genre for this film, which meant no predetermined musical direction, no indication of what the music should be. The possibilities were endless,” Elfman said in a press release. “Nothing is more fun to me than being able to try different things and experime...

Bones and All is a cannibal love story starring Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell. In an interview with The Independent, Guadagnino said he asked Reznor and Ross to “find the sound of a road trip” and “the sound of the American landscape.” “There was never a focus on the horror element,” Reznor told Variety, adding, “It’s in there and it serves a purpose.” Advertisement Related Video Ross explained, “We’d have long conversations with Luca about this element of inviting interpretation. But the real heart is the romance. Luca had mentioned the idea of an acoustic guitar. So, we worked around esta...
Phoenix Return with New Album Alpha Zulu: Stream
Phoenix return today with their long-awaited seventh album Alpha Zulu, their first full-length since 2017’s Ti Amo. Phoenix recorded Alpha Zulu in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (a.k.a. Museum of Decorative Arts) in Paris. “For every album, we’ve always tried to find an unusual place, a place that’s not dedicated for music, to a ridiculous extent sometimes,” explained frontman Thomas Mars in an interview with Consequence. “So for this album, instead of gold records on the wall, it was Napoleon’s throne.” Guitarist Christian Mazzalai added in a statement: “I was a bit afraid, when there was too much beauty around us, that to create something could be a bit hard. But it was the opposite: we couldn’t stop producing music. In these first 10 days, we wrote almost all of ...

Track by Track is a recurring feature series in which artists share the story behind every song on their latest release.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard Reveal New Album Change: Stream
It’s another New Music Friday, which means we’re due for another King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard record: Changes, the Aussie psych-rockers third studio album of October and 23rd overall, is out today. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard technically began working on Changes back in 2017, but it took a while until they were satisfied with the songs that wound up on the record, which includes the single “Hate Dancin.’” “I think of Changes as a song-cycle,” vocalist Stu Mackenzie said in a press release. “Every song is built around this one chord progression — every track is like a variation on a theme.” He continued: “But I don’t know if we had the musical vocabulary yet to complete the idea at that time. We recorded some of it then, including the version of ‘Explo...
