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.
Armand Hammer & The Alchemist – Mercy
Armand Hammer & The Alchemist’s Mercy drags you through beauty, ruin, and razor-edged poetry. A world of cracked beats, whispered warnings, and brilliant guests, it’s their most magnetic chaos yet — unsettling, addictive, and impossible to shake.
PVA – Enough
London trio PVA return with “Enough”, a darkly infectious electro track from their upcoming album No More Like This — out January 23, 2026. Expect distorted basslines, swapped instruments, and a VHS-soaked fever dream of desire and control.
ROSALÍA – LUX
Rosalía’s LUX isn’t just an album — it’s a cosmic opera that smashes pop conventions, loops the London Symphony Orchestra through 13 languages, and rewrites what modern music can feel like.
Aesop Rock – I Heard It’s a Mess There Too
Aesop Rock returns with I Heard It’s a Mess There Too, a stripped-down, lyrically surgical record that turns chaos into clarity. Where deadpan humor meets existential hygiene.
American Lips – On Strike!
Montréal/Los Angeles trio American Lips return with On Strike!, a razor-sharp art-rock album mixing absurdist humor, jagged riffs, and sardonic wit. Out via Ancient Fashion Records, it’s a noisy, analog rebellion against overwork and collapse — think Wire meets Devo on a caffeine bender.
Dave – The Boy Who Played The Harp
Dave returns with The Boy Who Played The Harp, a deeply introspective and lyrically flawless third album that fuses biblical symbolism with Brixton soul. Featuring Kano, James Blake, and Nicole Blakk, it cements his reign as UK rap’s thinking man—poetic, powerful, and unapologetically human.
Tame Impala – Deadbeat
Tame Impala returns with Deadbeat, a dazzling yet vulnerable mix of electronic psychedelia and late-night introspection. Kevin Parker dances through burnout and bliss with synths, heartbreak, and self-awareness.
Jamie Woon – 3, 10, Why, When
Jamie Woon returns with 3, 10, Why, When — a soulful, impressionistic blend of R&B, electronica, and pop. Vulnerable, haunting, and worth the wait.
