Father John Misty has unveiled a new song called ‘The Next 20th Century’, taken from his upcoming album that’s out on Friday. The seven-minute track follows previous singles ‘Funny Girl’, ‘Q4’, ‘Goodbye Mr. Blue’. Listen to it below.
Chloë and the Next 20th Century, Josh Tillman’s first album since 2018’s God’s Favorite Customer, will be out via Sub Pop worldwide and Bella Union in Europe.
After returning with their single ‘Rotting’ in February, Minneapolis-based band Poliça have announced a new album called Madness. It’s due out June 3 via Memphis Industries. The follow-up to 2020’s When We Stay Alive is led by the single ‘Alive’, which is out today. “Bad things happen, the fire goes out; even with the best flammables it stays dark until nothing matters becomes the fire itself,” singer Channy Leaneagh said of the track in a press release. Check it out and find the album’s cover art and tracklist below.
Madness was primarily recorded between 2020 and 2021 in producer Ryan Olson’s Minneapolis studio. According to a press release, the band used the “anthropomorphic production tool” AllOvers(c), designed by Olson and sound artist Seth Rosetter, during the making of the record, which features co-production by Dustin Zahn Alex Ridha and Alex Nutter. Talking about the lyrics of the album, Leaneagh summarized them as follows: “I am here for you all and I am never truly myself here. I am her for you all and I am never truly her.”

On this week’s list, we have Angel Olsen’s warm, patiently reflective ‘All the Good Times’, the lead single from her new album Big Time; Beach Bunny’s ’Fire Escape’, the driving and earnest first single off their upcoming LP Emotional Creature; Rosie Carney’s new single ‘dad’, which infuses her evocative brand of indie folk with more of a shoegaze influence; My Idea’s off-kilter yet sincere new track ‘Breathe You’; ‘PUPTHEBAND Inc. Is Filing For Bankruptcy’, the funny, toweringly anthemic closing track to PUP’s new LP; and ‘I’m Gonna Say Seven’, a gorgeously stripped-back highlight off Alabaster dePlume’s new album GOLD.
