Queens Of The Stone Age’s new album ‘Perfecth’
The songs each sound like they’re from different worlds, not what you’d expect from QOTSA, but then again, you should expect the unexpected! Funky-bluesy tracks, organs flooding the room, Homme working his upper register. Inspired by kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold: it’s about love, lust, foolishness and the wisdom on the other side. Brilliant. Out today on Matador.
thredd’s new single ‘Swimming’
New wave-inflected and anthemic, a lighter younger sibling to their previous single ‘Party’. Dev Hynes hand-picked them for RALLY festival and you can see why.
Cobrah’s four new songs ‘Touch Of An Angel’, ‘Apex’, ‘For You’ and ‘Sign From God’
Four seductive new additions to her debut album ‘Torn’. Throbbing goth-club electro-pop absolutely built for this weekend. The crown jewel is ‘Sign From God’, a collaboration with Grimes, who co-produces alongside Vadakin: both delivering whispery vocals over a dark, danceable pulse. Spiritual, but in an occult way.
Megan Thee Stallion’s new three-pack release ‘Tina Tuesday Freestyles’
Tina Snow is back. Freestyling over Mike Jones’ ‘Still Tippin’, over Limp Bizkit’s ‘Break Stuff’, over whatever she feels like. More bite and hunger than she’s shown in years, a combative warm-up for ‘MEGAN ACT III’.
Sofia And The Antoinettes’ new single ‘Eden’
A beautifully big and wistful guitar anthem, it’s got an Olivia Rodrrigo feel to it.
