Ariana Grande has officially announced her new album, Eternal Sunshine. The follow-up to 2020’s Positions will arrive on March 8 via Republic.
Last week, Grande previewed the record with ‘yes, and?’, which was written and produced with longtime collaborators Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh. Since her last album, she has been busy filming the movie adaptation of the Wicked musical.
Sam Evian – the musician and producer known for his work with Big Thief, Palehound, Blonde Redhead, and Cass McCombs – has announced a new album called Plunge. The follow-up to 2021’s Time to Melt will be released on March 22 through his new imprint Flying Cloud Recordings/Thirty Tigers. The lead single, ‘Wild Days’, arrives today alongside a music video. Check it out below and scroll down for the LP’s cover art, tracklist, and Evian’s upcoming tour dates.
Plunge was recorded over ten days during the early winter months of 2023. Evian was joined by a group of friends and collaborators that included Liam Kazar, Sean Mullins, El Kempner of Palehound, and Adrianne Lenker of Big Thief. “No one knew the songs or what the plan was. We kept it loose and fun,” he said in a press release. “This was the spirit of the sessions. No headphones, no playback, minimal overdubs, or bleed. Fast and loose.”
“I spend so much time trying to make perfect recordings for everyone else,” Evian added. “So it was a slight act of resistance to make something wild and kind of fucked up for myself.”

One of the most talked about films that came out in late 2023, Saltburn follows Oxford University student Oliver Quick, played by award-winning Irish actor Barry Keoghan. In the movie, Oliver uses his untamed confidence to trick himself into his aristocratic classmate Felix Catton’s life and his family’s extra event estate, Saltburn.
Saltburn has been rated as one of the best releases of 2023. Critics have described the performances as “acerbic” and the overall film as “a delicious cinematic schadenfreude.” Barry Keoghan’s performance could only be described as phenomenal and rightfully gained him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture Drama.
Among great acting, Saltburn also features terrific cinematography led by Oscar-winning director of photography Linus Sandgren, who also worked on such films as La La Land (2017), No Time to Die (2021), and Babylon (2022).
All in all, the film is creepy and showcases some superb acting by a well-gifted cast. It is currently streaming on Amazon Prime. So, here are thirteen memorable quotes about love from Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn.
Oliver Quick: “Only rich people can afford to be this filthy”
Daniel Boeckner (Wolf Parade, Operators, Divine Fits, Handsome Furs) has announced his self-titled debut solo LP. Boeckner! was produced, engineered, and mixed by Randall Dunn at Circular Ruin in New York City and mastered by Heba Kadry in Brooklyn. It’s out March 15 on Sub Pop, and the new single ‘Lose’ is out today. Give it a listen below.
Boeckner! features Matt Chamberlain on drums, Medicine’s Brad Laner (who contributed guitar and vocal arrangements), and Jeremy Gaudet of labelmates Kiwi Jr., who co-wrote the song ‘Dead Tourists’. “This record is like an autobiography—Atlas Strategic music concrete synth explosions, lush synth stuff from Operators, the noise guitar from Handsome Furs, drawing influence from everything from Stockhausen to Tom Waits all at the same time,” Boeckner said in a press release.
Of working with Dunn, he added: “I’d been a fan of his forever, especially the Sunn0))) records he produced. Working with Randall really unlocked some suppressed musical urges, things that I enjoy in my private life but don’t normally weave into what I’m releasing—like occult synth, pseudo-metal, krautrock, and heavy psych influences.”

Villagers have announced their latest album, That Golden Time, with a video for the title track. The follow-up to 2021’s Fever Dreams is scheduled to arrive on May 10 via Domino. Below, check out the Rok Predin-directed video for ‘That Golden Time’ along with the album’s cover art and tracklist.
“I wanted the warmth of the record reflected in its title,” Conor O’Brien explained in a statement. “The song also touches on a theme that keeps cropping up, of romanticism versus realism. How can you have aspirational ideas about yourself and the world around you, whilst being confronted with a harsh, cold reality? The friction interested me.”
“For me, That Golden Time has an internalised voice, so much so that I almost found it impossible to let anyone else in,” he added. “It’s probably the most vulnerable album I’ve made. I played and recorded everything in my apartment, and finally, towards the end, invited people in.” The record features contributions from Dónal Lunny on bouzouki, American songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Peter Broderick on violin, and a group of musicians that O’Brien had first seen performing in a tribute to Ennio Morricone, adding soprano vocal, viola, and cello.

Lime Garden have dropped a new single, ‘Mother’, lifted from their upcoming debut album One More Thing. It follows previous entries ‘Nepotism (baby)’, ‘Love Song’, and ‘I Want to Be You’. Check it out below.
“This song is about the relationship with my mother evolving in tandem with my personal growth coming into adulthood,” the band’s Chloe Howard explained in a statement. “Coming to the understanding that my mother is just like me, someone trying their best to figure out life and not knowing 100% of the answers was a scary but beautiful realisation which bonded us. It’s cool how relationships shift and transform to match each phase of life. The song is the culmination of those feelings during adolescence and the realisation as an adult to appreciate our mothers.”
Produced by Ali Chant, One More Thing is due out February 16 on So Young Records.
Lucy Rose has announced her fifth album, This Ain’t The Way You Go Out, which is out April 19 on Communion Records. It includes the recent single ‘Could You Help Me’, as well as a new track, ‘The Racket’. Check out its Dylan Friese-Greene-directed video below.
Rose released her last album, No Words Left, back in 2019, and welcomed her first child, Otis, in 2021. “Five weeks after I gave birth to Otis, I started getting back pain,” she explained in press materials. “It was only mild, but it really restricted my movements. My GP insisted that it was normal to experience back pain after giving birth, but it made taking care of Otis difficult, lifting him slowly in and out of the cot, until one night, whilst lifting him, my back went.” She was eventually diagnosed with rare pregnancy-induced osteoporosis.
Speaking about ‘The Racket’, Rose said: “I wanted my new album to end on a note of defiance and triumphant; of accepting what’s happened to me, pushing through, picking myself up and continuing life in the best way I can. I also wanted to start the song thanking my son Otis for loving me throughout everything, because really in those darkest times, it was his love that pulled me through.”
“The song title nods to two things, the fact that the end of the song is an onslaught of noises and instrumentation, and also the fact that before breaking my back and receiving my diagnosis, tennis was a huge passion of mine, and I got told by my doctors I wouldn’t be able to play again, or potentially even walk,” Rose continued. “But slowly, slowly, I found my way back to the court and reclaimed that part of me. And a final side note, this song was SO much fun to make, from start to finish, it brought a smile to my face every time!”

Mumford & Sons have teamed up with Pharrell Williams for a new single, ‘Good People’. It marks their first new music since 2018’s Delta. Featuring the six-piece choir the Native Vocalists, the track debuted at the Louis Vuitton Men’s Autumn/Winter 2024 runway last night in Paris. Check it out below.
Speaking about the collaboration, Pharrell told GQ, “I always thought that their sound was an interesting one and the aesthetic was just as interesting. And I was very curious as to what it would be like to work with them, there was like a snowball effect of curiosity, and if I could even be of added value.”
Chelsea Wolfe has released a new single, ‘Everything Turns Blue’. It’s the latest offering from her forthcoming LP She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She, following ‘Dusk’, ‘Whispers in the Echo Chamber’, and ‘Tunnel Lights’. Check it out below.
According to Wolfe, the new track is about “finding yourself again after a long era of being part of something toxic.” She added, “Making a split with someone after 10 years, 20 years, 30 years — there’s going to be some high highs and low lows as you begin to process it all.”
She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She comes out February 9 via Loma Vista.
