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.
Cloud Droppings – Hot Hot Heat
Four tracks, four wildly different moods. Alabama Shakes return in glorious form, Emmit Fenn and LudWic drift into cinematic electronica, Chad Hugo and Tierra Whack embrace joyful chaos, while Kelela and Fousheé imagine the future of R&B.
Helado Negro & Reyna Tropical – Helado Tropical
Like finding the perfect patch of shade on a scorching afternoon, Helado Tropical is cool, comforting and impossible to leave behind. Helado Negro and Reyna Tropical deliver nine effortlessly gorgeous songs that linger long after the ice has melted.
Dua Saleh – Of Earth & Wires
Dua Saleh returns with Of Earth & Wires, a soulful and shape-shifting album blending indie, R&B, Sudanese folk, and electronic experimentation into a powerful meditation on grief, identity, and home.
Kate Boy – Constant
After eight years in the wilderness, Kate Boy return with Constant—a delicate, emotionally rich reintroduction that trades bombast for quiet resonance and proves some voices are worth the wait.
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.
15 15 – Mārara
Paris collective 15 15 unveil MĀRARA via S76 Records — a hypnotic journey blending futuristic electronics, R&B textures and Polynesian-inspired mythology into a vibrant sonic island of its own.
SEB – Backpack
SEB drops Backpack, a 12-track reset that trades polish for momentum. New rules, new creative playground — and a tight-knit crew shaping the sound from the inside out. Consider this the first brick in a much bigger build.
Art School Girlfriend – Lean In
Art School Girlfriend returns with Doing Laps, a pulse-driven meditation on movement and emotional survival. Paired with the expansive calm of The Peaks and the bittersweet charm of L.Y.A.T.T., Polly Mackey continues to refine her signature blend of introspective pop, restless electronics, and late-night honesty.
Retro Kid – Think I Know
A warm, 90s-leaning hip-hop/soul groove with wobbling synths, flute flourishes and quiet confidence. Think I Know sees Retro Kid delivering nostalgia with precision and restraint.
