Emily Yacina has announced a new compilation titled All the Things, which spans the last 10 years of her music career. It’s due out July 29 via Danger Collective Records and includes the new single ‘DB Cooper’, which was co-produced by Jay Som’s Melina Duterte and features Gia Margaret on bass. Check out a video for the track, directed by Sierra Morris and Bec Pecaut, below.
“This song is about the experience of losing my dear friend and musical collaborator Eric Littmann in July of 2021,” Yacina said in a statement about ‘DB Cooper’. “He was a master story-teller, and the last time I saw him in L.A. he told me the story of D.B. Cooper with such life and vivaciousness. The song itself is about losing him, and how grief forces you to stop whatever you’re doing and re-evaluate your life. It’s also about finding meaning when that person is gone- even when it seems like an impossible thing to do.”

Hovvdy have announced a new EP, billboard for my feelings, which is comprised of songs that were written primarily during the sessions for the Texas duo’s 2021 LP True Love. It’s out May 27 via Grand Jury. The project includes the previously released singles ‘Everything’ and ‘Town’, as well as a new track called ‘Hide’, which the band called “a lighthearted song about learning when to let your thoughts run wild and when to batten them up.” Check out a Boone Patrello-directed video for it below.
The billboard for my feelings EP was co-produced with Andrew Sarlo. “I allowed myself to focus more on how everything feels, and a little less about telling a complex story,” Charlie Martin said of the EP in a statement. “Both are super valuable – how a melody or texture makes you feel, versus how a super-emotional piece of songwriting impacts you.”
Will Taylor added: “We got to have more fun; we got to cut back. I’m realizing there are many forms Hovvdy can return to, and this EP is a different form.”
Joyce Manor have dropped a new single from their upcoming album 40 Oz. to Fresno, which is set for release on June 10 via Epitaph. It’s called ‘Don’t Try’, and it follows lead cut ‘Gotta Let It Go’, which landed on our Best New Songs list. Give it a listen below.

Cola, the new project from former Ought members Tim Darcy and Ben Stidworthy and US Girls/The Weather Station drummer Evan Cartwright, have released their latest single. ‘Degree’ is set to appear on the forthcoming album Deep in View alongside previous entries ‘Blank Curtain’, ‘So Excited’, and ‘Water Table’. Check it out below.
“The character in ‘Degree’ is cycling in and out of these dreamscape states (movie theater, meditation, etc) and then trying to catch up to something in their day to day life,” Farcy explained in a press release. “I picture what it feels like running to catch the bus when you’re in a daze and suddenly have to sprint.”
“‘Degree’ is based on a 2-step kinda track I produced while trying to do the fabled and well-trodden path of using guitars in electronic music,” Stidworthy commented. “I came up with this psych-drenched outro that I really enjoyed so I decided to base a song around that chord progression.”
“I wanted the beat to feel like the opening and closing of a mechanical valve,” Cartwright added. “The guitar riff supplies this relentless propulsion and I thought that the drums should act as a stiff regulator: aggressively blocking, then releasing the heavy flow that comes pouring out of the guitar.”
Drive-By Truckers have unveiled ‘Every Single Storied Flameout’, the latest single from their new album Welcome 2 Club XIII. The band previously shared the LP’s title track. Check out the new track below.
“I wrote that song when my son was turning 16 and going through a rough patch for a bit,” the band’s Mike Cooley explained in a statement. “Luckily, he’s turned it around and he’s doing great now, but it was a tough time for a while. Part of my way of dealing with it was to take ownership of the example I might’ve set, in the hope of leading him out of it.”
Welcome 2 Club XIII will be out on June 3 via ATO Records.
