파란노을 (Parannoul) Announces New Album After the Magic
파란노을 (Parannoul), the elusive, anonymous Korean artist who’s become a cult favorite with extremely online indie rock fans, is returning this month with a new full-length album. After the Magic is out January 28th with physicals distributed by Topshelf Records. In typical Parannoul fashion, there’s not much we know about this new record right now. All the musician has said about the project is: “This album is not what you expected, but what I always wanted.” Will it be their usual breed of fuzzy, mathy, shoegaze-infused emo? We have no idea! Exciting! Sign up over at Topshelf’s website to be notified whenever physical LPs of After the Magic by Parannoul are available to pre-order. See the artwork for the album below.

Ghostface Killer (Not That One) Catches Multiple Bodies In First Full ‘Scream VI’ Trailer
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Roy Rochlin / Getty The Ghostface Killer is back but instead of causing a ruckus in the burbs of the West Coast, he’s terrorizing New Yorkers instead (he probably got a Death Row pendant under his costume).

Taking place after the events of Scream 5 in which the surviving “teens” move to New York to escape the bloody memories left in Woodsboro, California, Sam Carpenter (Melissa Barrera), Mindy Meeks-Martin (Jasmin Savoy Brown), Chad Meeks-Martin (Mason Gooding) and Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega) find themselves being hunted by the latest nut to take...
