Ravyn Lenae's 'Reputation' is an acoustic ballad that delves into the complexities of a crumbling relationship, featuring a guest verse from Dominic Fike.

Geoff Rickly began Thursday's set in the balcony, giving the first public performance of No Devolución track 'Empty Glass', which had previously been performed during a 2021 livestream set.

The Sound It Made opens Two Wheels Move the Soul like the blaze is roaring to life before your eyes. Zack James' shifty drumming hammers out a drum 'n' bass redux like a panicked heartbeat while Carney Hemler's bass lurches in slow motion, replicating the gut drop of a horrible realization.

Los Thuthanaka, who made Pitchfork's 2026 Album of the Year, will play Brooklyn's Elsewhere on June 4, showcasing their acclaimed music to a live audience.

With our music, I particularly like to be on the extremes of things. So if it's supposed to be pretty in your face, I like to be fairly in your face. And then at the same time, if it's kind of warm and gentle, I like that to be as warm and gentle as possible. I'm interested in those juxtapositions and making those, that's how we want it to come across.

You could go anywhere in America and argue with some success for the cultural impact wrought by most of the once-subcultural stars of Lizzy Goodman's oral history of New York's post-9/11 rock scene, 'Meet Me In The Bathroom.' Or, for God's sake, Jeff Chang's history of hip-hop, 'Can't Stop Won't Stop.' But to explain this era to someone who hasn't devoted their psyche or youth to 'indie rock,' you'd need to spend a whole dinner, and maybe a few drinks afterwards, justifying why the tentpole events that 'Us v. Them' returns to multiple times in its 300-page run mean anything.

Between our daily coverage, our Notable Releases and Indie Basement columns, and our monthly punk and rap roundups, we post tons of new music all the time here on BrooklynVegan. In an effort to keep track of all the new music we're excited about, we've been posting a new playlist each week with many of the songs we love that were (mostly) released that week.

San Francisco math rockers Covet announced an East Coast tour in June with LITE and Hikes, including NYC's Le Poisson Rouge on June 4. Built to Spill announced some new shows this spring and summer, with an East Coast run before they open for Bright Eyes in NYC including Asbury Park's Asbury Lanes on June 3 with Guerilla Toss and August shows in California.

On the older records everything was self-recorded, home-recorded, on a laptop or on tape, and always with really limited resources," Sam Ray says. "I think we became known for that but it was also very limiting to be seen as a lo-fi band.

Musician and visual artist Dan Reeder is one of the longest signees to Oh Boy Records (which John Prine signed him to), and more recently artists like boygenius (who covered his song "Stay Down, Man"), Jeff Tweedy and Wilco, and Joshua Ray Walker have revealed themselves as fans; he also performed during the first ever Newport Folk Festival edition of Jack Antonoff's Ally Coalition Talent Show last year, where he was joined onstage by Waxahatchee, Weyes Blood, and Bleachers.

Having already released two EPs under the moniker Georgia Gets By, 2024's Split Lip and 2023's Fish Bird Baby Boy, Georgia Nott (also of BROODS) has announced the project's debut LP, Heavy Meadow. We don't have more details on it yet, but earlier this week, she wrote on Instagram, "I have been imagining and growing this place for the last two years and to be on the cusp of beginning to share it with you all has me shaking with delight. More info forthcoming..."
