Mykki Blanco – CAFE PARADISO
Mykki Blanco returns with CAFE PARADISO, a new album built for late-night wanderers, solitary café dreamers and cosmopolitan aesthetes. Lead single “Little Feet” offers the first taste of a sensual, stylish and beautifully unpredictable new chapter.
Fontaines D.C. – Dopamine Chamber
Dopamine Chamber finds Fontaines D.C. leaving their guitar-driven past behind for a colder, stranger and more synthetic future. With “Marianne” as its decadent calling card, the band's fifth album explores pleasure, escapism and anxiety in an increasingly fractured world. Beautiful, unsettling and very, very Fontaines.
Basement – WIRED
Ipswich band Basement return with WIRED, a loud, emotional and deeply satisfying alternative rock record packed with huge hooks, raw atmosphere and restless energy.
Cloud Droppings #Springtastic
A sun-soaked selection of fresh tracks to soundtrack the brighter days ahead — from shadowy slow-burners to groove-filled gems, these spring-ready picks bring warmth, rhythm, and nothing but good vibes.
Future Islands – From a Hole in the Floor to a Fountain of Youth
Twenty years deep and still hitting like a late-night epiphany, Future Islands return with From a Hole in the Floor to a Fountain of Youth — a 20-track dive into rarities, alternate takes, and fan-loved deep cuts. Less a greatest hits, more a greatest feels, this one stitches together the band’s emotional DNA with two new tracks already in the wild. Arriving May 22, it’s not here to look back politely — it’s here to pull you right back in.
Cloud Droppings – #Drenched
Cloud Droppings returns with four fresh obsessions — tender indie pop, neon-lit electronica and disco-charged daydreams. Your playlist just got emotionally complicated (in a good way).
Arctic Monkeys – Opening Night. From HELP(2)
Arctic Monkeys quietly steal the opening scene on HELP(2) with their brand new track titled Opening Night. A restrained, cinematic cut that sets the tone for War Child’s urgent new compilation. No grandstanding, just purpose.
Introducing : supermodel*
There’s a special kind of confidence in not trying to be cool, and Beanie — the 24-year-old brain behind supermodel* — has turned that philosophy into a surprisingly addictive debut statement. Inspired by early Talking Heads doing absolutely nothing until it somehow became iconic, supermodel* operates in a blissful state of anti-intent. No grand lore, no mood boards, no “this record explores…” press-release nonsense. Just instinct, taste, and a healthy disregard for expectations.
