Back in May, Drake released the mixtape Dark Lane Demo Tapes, which included the hit single ‘Toosie Slide’. He’s put out a number of joint singles since then, including ones with DJ Khaled and Headie One. A few weeks ago, the Canadian rapper broke Madonna’s record for the most Top 10 hits.

Erik Drost, better known under the moniker of Mouissie, has released his debut single Skytrain, just today. The song comes before the release of his debut EP.
Skytrain is a throwback-like song, mixing vintage synthesizers with disco-driven energy resulting in a party-driven atmosphere. Having presented his first track, Mouissie marks himself as a potential connoisseur of 80s music.
With Skytrain released, we are eager to see what is next for Mouissie.
Sigur Rós’ Jónsi has shared a new song in collaboration with Cocteau Twins’ Liz Fraser. It’s called ‘Cannibal’ and it arrives with an accompanying music video co-directed by Giovanni Ribisi. Check it out below.
“When Sigur Rós was starting, we were always compared to Cocteau Twins and I really didn’t like that. I hated being compared to anybody,” Jonsi said in a press release about the track. “Then I got really into Cocteau Twins like two or three years ago. They’re so good. I understood the comparison then.”
‘Cannibal’ is taken from Jónsi’s upcoming album Shiver, set for release on October 2 via Krunk. Co-produced by A. G. Cook, the follow-up to his 2010 solo debut Go will include the previously released singles ‘Exhale’ and ‘Swill’.
As they gear up for the release of their upcoming album, Imploding the Mirage, The Killers have shared a new single titled ‘Dying Breed’. Check it out below.
Frontman Brandon Flowers revealed in an interview with Rolling Stone that the track was a collaboration with producer Flood, who previously worked with them on 2006’s Sam’s Town. He said that he helped give the song “an industrial vibe”, adding: “What I love about Flood is he doesn’t have a problem x-ing something out if he doesn’t like it. What he did with it was a lot more stark than what we would have done, but it kept the spirit of the song. It has a heart to it that really grabs you.”
Last month, the Rolling Stones unveiled a previously-unheard track called ‘Scarlet’, which featured Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page. Now, they’ve collaborated with the War on Drugs for a new remix of the track. Listen to it below.
“I just re-imagined the song as if I had Mick, Keith and Jimmy in the room with me,” The War on Drugs’ Adam Granduciel said in a statement. “After messing with my Linn Drum for a bit, the song fell into this double time thing and I just went with it. I called my friend and bandmate, Dave Hartley, to fill out the bass on the new groove.”
“Then I figured if I had Jimmy Page in the room I’d probably ask him to plug into my favorite rack flanger so that’s what I did,” he continued. “My friend Anthony LaMarca added some last minute percussion. I’m so honored to have gotten to work on this especially since ‘Angie’ was probably the first ‘rock’ song that I asked to be played on repeat when I was really young. Hope you enjoy it!”
‘Scarlet’ was originally recorded in 1974 during a session in Ronnie Wood’s basement. The original version of the track will feature on the forthcoming reissue of the band’s 1973 album Goats Head Soup,along with the recently unveiled ‘Criss Cross’. The War on Drugs’ last LP was 2017’s A Deeper Understanding.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have released a new song called ‘Some of Us’. It arrives with an accompanying music video directed by previous collaborator John Angus Stewart, filmed using a thermal heat camera. Check it out below.
According to a social media post by the band, the track was written earlier in the year. “This Cookie penned, Stu sung song came together early this year as the world was slowly descending into madness, but before it was truly on fire,” they wrote. “Can’t wait to show y’all some more tunes before we go down in flames.”
The prolific psych rock outfit added that they’ve made “heaps of tunes lately” and are “currently putting some sparkles on em.”
‘Some of Us’ marks the band’s second single of the summer following ‘Honey’. Their last album was Infest the Rats’ Nest, released last summer.
Elvis Costello has announced a new album titled Hey Clockface, out October 30 via Concord. Accompanying the announcement, Costello has unveiled a new track called ‘We Are All Cowards Now’. Check it out below, and scroll down for the album’s cover artwork and tracklist.
Recorded in Helsinki, Paris, and New York, the 14-track LP features Elvis Costello’s longtime bandmate Steve Nieve, in addition to Bill Frisell, Nels Cline, Mickaél Gasche, Pierre-François “Titi” Dufour, and others. It includes the previously released singles ‘No Flag’ and ‘Hetty O’Hara Confidential’.
“I sang live on the studio floor, directing from the vocal booth,” Costello said of the new album in a statement. “We cut nine songs in two days. We spoke very little. Almost everything the musicians played was a spontaneous response to the song I was singing. I’d had a dream of recording in Paris like this, one day.”
He continued: “I wanted to write “Helsinki-Paris-???” on the record jacket like this was a perfume or an advertising agency. “London” was a possibility for the third city but London is forever. We’ll be there again. Michael sent this music to me from New York at the perfect time. It connected to elements in both of the previous sessions and completed the picture.”
“I wanted the record to be vivid, whether the songs demanded playing that was loud and jagged or intimate and beautiful,” he added.
Elvis Costello And The Imposters released the EP Purse in 2019. Their last full-length release was 2018’s Look Now.
