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.
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.
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.
Formal Sppeedwear – Hit ‘n’ Run
Formal Sppeedwear return with ‘Hit ’n’ Run’, a fuzzed-out, rhythm-twisting indie banger recorded DIY in Stoke-on-Trent. Channeling DEVO and Steve Reich in equal measure, the trio deliver a high-octane groove that’s part chaos, part genius, and 100% Formal Sppeedwear.
Alabama Shakes – Another Life
Alabama Shakes return after a decade with “Another Life,” a soul-stirring comeback single that bridges past selves and present realities. Brittany Howard’s soaring vocals and the band’s timeless groove remind us why the hiatus was worth the wait.
Gum Parker – Two Subarus
Sonically, Gum Parker leans into the scrappy, jangly corners of indie rock—think ‘90s college radio meets early-2000s DIY basement shows. It’s loose but intentional, catchy but unpolished, with just enough punk bite to keep things unpredictable. Gritty, hooky, and made to be played loud. Listen to Two Subarus via Sodwee.com
Get Addicted to Jadu Heart’s “Heroin Song”
Whatever dangerous, comfortable warmth it is that pulls so many into those clutches seems to be appropriately present in Jadu Heart's "Heroin Song", a hugely spacious, sweetly sorrowful sonic-needle in the arm.
