<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-01T15:02:14+00:00“>May 1, 2021 | 11:02am ET After announcing their seventh studio album, The Nightmare of Being, a month ago, Swedish melodic death metal pioneers At the Gates have unleashed “Spectre of Extinction” as the LP’s first single. The song comes ahead of the album’s July 2nd release, and boasts a guest appearance by King Diamond guitarist Andy La Rocque. “Spectre of Extinction” starts off with a cinematic instrumental intro before the heaviness kicks in around the 90-second mark. All told, it’s nearly two minutes before singer Tomas Lindberg Redant comes in with the first growl on the track, which features a blistering guitar solo by La Rocque. “It is always very hard t...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-30T19:34:07+00:00“>April 30, 2021 | 3:34pm ET Nigerian superstar Burna Boy is back with his first solo song of 2021, “Kilometre”. Via Okay Africa, BB unveiled the single during an appearance on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music 1, at which time he also teased a new album in 2021. “I’m definitely planning to drop my next album this year,” he said. “Especially at the same time I dropped the last one. I’m trying to do that as long as I can.” He was referring to 2020’s Twice as Tall, which came out in August and was one of our favorite albums of the year. If we’re only three or four months away from another Burna Boy meal, then “Kilometre” is a perfect aperitif. Over a sun-baked beat...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-30T04:12:08+00:00“>April 30, 2021 | 12:12am ET After nearly a year of silence, DJ Khaled has finally released his new album Khaled Khaled. The star-studded record features cameos from some of the biggest names in the music, including Drake, Justin Timberlake, JAY-Z, and Megan Thee Stallion. Stream it below via Spotify. DJ Khaled started teasing his follow-up to 2019’s Father of Asahd last summer, but then he vanished out of nowhere. It looked like he was hyped on wrangling a number of high-profile artists into the studio to record before realizing that the ongoing coronavirus pandemic wouldn’t end anytime soon. It’s fitting, then, that the hit-making producer would want to releas...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-30T04:28:24+00:00“>April 30, 2021 | 12:28am ET Rising California MC Baby Keem has teamed with Houston’s finest Travis Scott for the new single “durag activity”. The song is a major step forward for Keem, as it marks the first major collaboration from the young rapper. While he’s worked on projects like his cousin Kendrick Lamar’s Black Panther: The Album and Beyoncé’s The Lion King: The Gift, “durag activity” is his first official joint track. After being teased last week, the cut has now dropped alongside an accompanying music video. Over a clicking, slinking beat Baby Keem and Scott drop braggadocios bars about the money, influence, and women in their lives — in other words, th...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-28T18:42:35+00:00“>April 28, 2021 | 2:42pm ET New York dark pop group Cold Cave have announced a new album. It’s called Fate In Seven Lessons and it’s due out June 11th via Heartworm Press. To tease the release, the gothic duo have just shared a music video for the single “Prayer From Nowhere”, which you can stream below. Fate In Seven Lessons has been a long time coming for fans because it’s Cold Cave’s first full-length record in a decade. It follows the duo’s 2018 EP You & Me & Infinity and their 2011 album Cherish the Light Years. A press release calls Fate In Seven Lessons the band’s “heaviest and most romantic release yet” despite its relatively ...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-28T19:53:14+00:00“>April 28, 2021 | 3:53pm ET Garbage have shared a new song, “No Gods No Masters”, the title track from their upcoming album. It’s the latest taste from No Gods No Masters, the alternative rock band’s seventh studio album, and first in five years. Featuring New Wave synths, the track finds Shirley Manson taking control of her own destiny. “The future is mine just the same,” she sings. “No master or gods to obey/ I’ll make the same mistakes/ Over and over again.” In a statement, Manson said the single was inspired by a visit to recent protests in Santiago, Chile. “We were driving down the street, and the whole city was covered in graffiti, like all the old museums...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-27T18:01:12+00:00“>April 27, 2021 | 2:01pm ET Two years after releasing their most recent album, End of Suffering, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes are back with the new single “My Town”. The song features guest vocals from Joe Talbot of fellow UK punk act IDLES. The album cycle for End of Suffering didn’t quite go as planned for Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes. Carter was involved in a serious car accident in the fall of 2019, forcing the band to postpone their North American tour. And then, like every other music act, they were forced off the road in 2020 due to the pandemic, but did perform a “By Request” livestream show in November. “‘My Town’ is a bruising metaphor fo...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-26T15:51:35+00:00“>April 26, 2021 | 11:51am ET Philadelphia punk rockers Mannequin Pussy have released the title track to Perfect, their upcoming EP due out May 21st. The new song comes with a flashy music video that’s inspired by the kitschy glamor of Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, too. Check it out below. Musically, “Perfect” is a distorted blaze of rock guitars that sees vocalist-guitarist Missy eviscerating the idea that people must manicure their own social media presence. “Last year, I found myself spending more time on my phone than I ever had in my life… I realized that through years of social media training, many of us have grown this deep desire to manicur...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-23T15:43:07+00:00“>April 23, 2021 | 11:43am ET The lost album Mutator from late Suicide singer Alan Vega is out now via Sacred Bones. To celebrate the release, a new archival video for “Muscles” has been unveiled. Mutator was recorded from 1996 to 1998 in New York City by Vega and with his wife and longtime collaborator Liz Lamere. The songs were unearthed in 2019 by Lamere and Vega confidant Jared Artaud from the singer’s vast archive of unreleased music. The first singles “Nike Soldier” and “Fist” showcased Vega’s unrelenting creative spirit and knack for beguiling wordplay. The fact that these songs sat in the vault is a testament to just how prolific Vega was, steadily releas...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-23T04:00:07+00:00“>April 23, 2021 | 12:00am ET The Chemical Brothers have been relatively silent since dropping their apocalyptic dance album No Geography in 2019, but that’s about to change. The legendary electronic duo — comprised of Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons — have just returned today with “The Darkness That You Fear”, their first new single in two years. Stream it below. “The Darkness That You Fear” is equal parts retro dance music and disco-styled vocal coos. It blends the moodiness of alternative club hits with deep-cut ’80s pop in a way that feels more mysterious than anything else, and potentially signals a new direction for The Chemical Brothers moving forward. If you s...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-21T17:36:41+00:00“>April 21, 2021 | 1:36pm ET Little Simz has announced her new album Sometimes I Might Be Introvert. It’s out September 3rd via Age 101, and today she’s offered a preview with lead single “Introvert”. The British rapper vaulted into hip-hop conversations on both sides of the Atlantic with her 2019 album GREY Area, one of our favorite albums of the year. Since then she tided over fans with the 2020 Drop 6 EP, and as good as that was, her return to the long play is welcome news. For her fourth album she’s once again she’s producing alongside her longtime collaborator Inflo, and here she’s lined up feature verses from Obongjayar and Cleo Sol. To ...

As a final preview of what to expect, they just dropped a new song from the record called “Take It Back” and it comes with a delightfully absurdist claymation video to boot. Check it out below. Musically, “Take It Back” is a surprisingly upbeat number that features J Mascis flaunting his guitar solo skills and his digital mellotron talent alike. It’s chipper and lighthearted, and that sound is all the more drawn out in the track’s playful music video, directed by Callum Scott-Dyson. In it, a little claymation creature can be...
