Amyl and the Sniffers stopped by Late Night With Seth Meyers last night (April 20) to perform their single ‘Hertz’. Watch the performance below.
‘Hertz’ is taken from the Australian band’s 2021 sophomore LP Comfort to Me, the follow-up to their 2019 self-titled album. They’re set to embark on a North American tour later this month.
Church Girls have released a new track, ‘Telepathic Mind’, via Big Scary Monsters. Arriving ahead of their upcoming EU/UK tour, the single marks the Philadelphia band’s first new music since their 2021 LP Still Blooms. Check it out below.
“We all get depressed,” vocalist Mariel Beaumont said in a statement about the song. “I still comically buck against it: waking up early every morning and standing in direct sunlight for twenty minutes because a podcast told me that might help. During this particular bout, I knew I was driving my live-in partner a bit crazy with my silent brooding. I’ve heard telepathic communication doesn’t work so well, but I’m a slow learner.”
C’est Karma has shared one more single from her upcoming EP Amuse Bouche, which is out on May 13. ‘Coffee’ follows previous offerings ‘Bubblegum’ and ‘Gateaux’. Listen to it below.
“Coffee’ is a song about growing up,” Karma Catena explained in a press release. “I moved away from home for the first time this year. It was a strange and at the same time very liberating experience. This process also made me very aware of the fact that I am growing up. I’m leaving my adolescence behind and staring straight into adulthood’s eyes. I wanted to take the simple and subtle changes in my life and turn them into a metaphor for my own adulting. However, all these changes also come with existential fears, and insecurities I never knew I had. The fear of living an adult life, of being caught in an endless circle, the insecurity that the most exciting part of life will soon come to an end. ‘Coffee’ is a very introspective and intimate song, both musically and lyrically.”
Rosie Carney has released ‘break the ground’, the second single from her upcoming sophomore album i wanna feel happy. The track follows lead single ‘dad’, which made our Best New Songs segment. Give it a listen below.
In a statement, Carney explained ‘break the ground’ is “a song about being in denial when things are falling apart. Lyrically, I kind of wanted the song to feel like some kind of uncomfortable dreamlike world, the type where you feel heavy and when you run, your legs barely move and the killer is catching up, but in this case you’re pretending like you can’t even see them.”
i wanna feel happy arrives May 27 via Color Study. Check out our Artist Spotlight interview with Rosie Carney.
The Goon Sax have today released the deluxe digital edition of their most recent LP, Mirror II.

Take a listen below.
Mirror II, the Goon Sax’s third album and Matador debut, came out last year. The Brisbane trio is currently on tour opening for Snail Mail, and will join Interpol and Spoon on their co-headlining Lights, Camera, Factions tour this fall. Check out our Artist Spotlight interview with Goon Sax.
Ethel Cain has unveiled a new single, ‘American Teenager’, lifted from her forthcoming debut album Preacher’s Daughter. The track follows previous offerings ‘Gibson Girl’ and ‘Strangers’. Check it out below.
“Growing up I was surrounded by visions of Nascar, rock’n’roll, and being the one who would change everything,” Cain explained in a statement. “They make you think it’s all achievable and that if nothing else, you should at least die trying. What they don’t tell you is that you need your neighbor more than your country needs you. I wrote this song as an expression of my frustration with all the things the ‘American Teenager’ is supposed to be but never had any real chance of becoming.”
Preacher’s Daughter is set to arrive on May 12. Along with the new track, Cain has today announced the Freezer Bride Tour, which kicks off on July 14 in Bloomington, Indiana. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10am local time; find the list of dates below.

Rachel Sermanni has announced a new EP titled Every Swimming Pool Runs to the Sea. The follow-up to 2021’s Swallow Me EP will be out on June 16. Today, the Scottish singer-songwriter has previewed it with the single ‘Aquarium Kisses’, which you can hear below.
“I woke from a dream where an old school friend had led me into a huge aquarium,” Sermanni recalled in a statement about the new song. “More like a building with glass, water, and tropical fish for walls. In the glow, we kissed. It was a lovely, playful, sensual dream. This is where the song begins. As is obvious. Each verse that follows is an ode to a past lover. The reasons I loved them, little moments and memories. It has a nostalgic feeling for me which then comes to the present moment with the chorus words (written by Richard Walters) where I hold the hand of my now love. I believe that the chorus and the presence of another’s hand in mine is more symbolic.”

Art Moore, the new project from Taylor Vick of Boy Scouts and Ezra Furman collaborators Sam Durkes and Trevor Brooks, have announced their signing to ANTI- with the new single ‘Snowy’. Check it out below.
“We all met up at the studio, and it was never even like, ‘Let’s be a band’, that was never a thing,” Durkes explained in a statement. “It was more like, ‘Let’s write for movies and art projects’ — let’s think of a movie scene or a photograph or still image and see if we can write some shit around it to see if we can pitch it.”
“Four songs in, I think, after the first recording session, we realized it was going well, and it was pretty efficient,” Brooks added. “Making music with both Sam and Taylor has always been so easy. I record other artists, and it’s pretty rare to be so quickly on the same page with people. We don’t have to say much — we kind of get where each other is coming from. It happens way too easily.”
Commenting on ‘Snowy’, Vick said: “This song takes the perspective of a widow on a road trip, the thoughts they might have while traveling alone and having conversations as if they’re still around. ‘Snowy’ is that feeling that someone is right next to you, but you know they can’t be.”
Last year, Vick released her latest album as Boy Scouts, Wayfinder.
Jack White appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last night (April 20), performing ‘What’s the Trick?’ from his new album Fear of the Dawn. He also sat down for an interview with Colbert, where he talked about his surprise wedding to Olivia Jean, making custom furniture, and a piece of advice he got from Prince. Check it out below.
Fear of the Dawn is the first of two LPs Jack White is putting out this year; Entering Heaven Alive comes out on July 22 via his own Third Man Records. The label is planning to release Prince’s shelved 1986 album Camille, though a release date has yet to be announced.
Moreish Idols, a five-piece hailing from a Cornish coastal town and now based in London, are the latest band to sign to Dan Carey’s Speedy Wunderground label. To mark the announcement, they’ve shared a new single called ‘Speedboat’, which you can check out below.
Talking about the new single, frontman Jude Lilley said:
When I was about 18 I stopped off in Venice with some friends after a festival. One hot afternoon in our grubby clothes, we managed to find a place doing pizza slices and beer for a couple of euros. Hidden away from the intimidatingly glamorous tourists we sat on a jetty and tucked into our newly purchased treats. As we were chatting away over our lunch, we were interrupted by a thumping kick drum echoing through the canal. The kick grew louder and louder until a white speedboat drifted at full speed into our view and pulled up to the jetty. EDM blasted from the boat, as a slick, well built man in wrap around shades and a red polo shirt inspected his vast pile of parcels. He bent down, grabbed a stack and hopped off the boat. After making the drop at the house behind us, he hopped back into the motor and shot off into the canals. That’s when I knew: I wanted to be a postman in Venice.
