Chris Walla, the former Death Cab for Cutie founding member/guitarist/producer, has surprise-released a new EP of songs he originally recorded in 2002. It’s fittingly titled "2002 ep" and is out now, timed to Bandcamp Friday.
Midlake and John Grant have teamed up for two new songs: “Roadrunner Blues” and “You Don’t Get To.” The latter is an expansive near-eight-minute song that builds to an extended instrumental jam at its climax. The double AA single is out now via Bella Union, the UK label home to both artists.
Late night TV finally returned this week, following the end of the writers’ strike, and one of the first musical guests was boygenius, who performed “Cool About It” last night on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." The supergroup featuring Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, and Phoebe Bridgers performed the song acoustically, all huddled around the same microphone, and it was an intimate and special performance.
Wilco have released a new album, "Cousin," today via dBpm. Now that it’s out, you can stream the whole thing here. You can also read our review of the album.
