Tone Freq Studios captures pristine acoustics and emphasizes analog warmth, creating a tactile space that values collective experiences over the convenience of digital recording methods.

Thaiboy Digital's first album in four years showcases a collaboration with the Swedish production collective Swedm, featuring contributions from Varg2™, Eurohead, and Jamesjamesjames.

Band of Skulls emerged from Southampton, England with a gritty, blues-soaked take on garage rock that felt both scrappy and deliberate. Their breakout album Baby Darling Doll Face Honey introduced a sound built on thick riffs, tight rhythm work, and a push-pull vocal dynamic that gave the songs real tension.

Out now, this track captures the spirit of escapism amid emotional chaos, expertly produced by NKLAI, known for his work with Haven Everly and FLASCH, and mixed by Justin Hergett, a name synonymous with the sounds of superstars like Beyoncé and P!nk. It's an anthem for those who desire to dance through the turmoil, overflowing with the angst of recession-pop and the sensationalism of early-2000s tabloid culture.

It's times like these that make you realize, this is community. You know, this is having each other's back when we are all struggling. Every decade or so, it pops up again and they start kind of questioning our belonging. It's more important than ever to express yourself ... that you're not assimilating, you're not going to give up on your culture.

"It's slow music, the lyrics transmit good feeling and it's moody," said frontman Gustavo Raya Garcia following the album's release on March 26.

Rockie does kinda feel like the album Donna Hayward would make if she could pursue her musical ambitions: She'd be influenced by Julee Cruise, for sure, and probably Chromatics, and Sky Ferreira, and what could be more Badalamentian than the cloudburst of synth that opens "On Our Knees"?

R&B in the 21st century has been in a constant state of flux, tugged between safe traditionalism and blurry attempts at progression. For the last decade-plus that "progression" has seen R&B music become more indebted to trap records and the moody atmospherics of alternative bands like Radiohead, Coldplay, or My Bloody Valentine.

The category's been going around social media for a bit, but there's even a domain exclusively for Cigarette Mom Rock. There, the meaning of the genre is described as a "feminine counterpart to 'divorced dad rock,'" but is also meant to conjure up images of your own hard-working '90s mom, driving you to baseball practice with the windows down and a cigarette in one hand.

The new album Everything Must Go arrives on April 24 via Bad Time Records and Community Records, and first single 'Free Dom' is out now. It finds Bad Operation doing what they do best, fusing 2 Tone's influence with fresh, urgent new ideas and coming out with something danceable, catchy, and powerful.

Prince Daddy & the Hyena have announced a new album, Hotwire Trip Switch, which reunites them with Counter Intuitive Records (after a stint on Pure Noise) and producer Joe Reinhart of Algernon Cadwallader (who produced the band's 2016 debut LP I Thought You Didn't Even Like Leaving). It comes out on April 17.

'Cool Job' pulls from meme culture pastiche and 'Temporary Secretary' trope to skewer the fantasy that the right job will save your life. Written mid-burnout, it's an anti-work anthem about corporate rot, identity collapse, and trying to care about meetings that could have been emails while everything else is falling apart.

Last May, Ty Segall released Possession, a sophisticated set of psychedelic bubblegum that featured a string section, saxophone, and surprisingly sweet melodies. "Live" "at" "the" "BBC," taped about a decade ago, may take recent fans of the L.A.-based garage rocker by surprise. Now in his late 30s, Segall's already released 17 solo albums. The prolific songwriter has a knack for abrupt swings, so no one should be too shocked.

Green-House will release new album Hinterlands on March 20. The Los Angeles duo of Olive Ardizoni and Michael Flanagan has left their longtime home of Leaving to sign with Ghostly for the follow-up to A Host for All Kinds of Life. Listen to a new song from the record, "Farewell, Little Island," below, and scroll down for the album art.
