There’s so much music coming out all the time that it’s hard to keep track. On those days when the influx of new tracks is particularly overwhelming, we sift through the noise to bring you a curated list of the most interesting new releases (the best of which will be added to our Best New Songs playlist). Below, check out our track roundup for Wednesday, September 10, 2025.
Ouri – ‘Daisy Cutter’
Montreal producer and multi-instrumentalist Ouri has announced a new album, Daisy Cutter, which is out October 24, and shared the mesmerizing title track. “All these trusting miles in the dark led me to these 13 songs,” Ouri explained in a press release. “Daisy Cutter is music but it’s also the leader of a militia, a part of me. Like a rotor, I started a practice that brought all this album to life and it’s gonna keep spinning even when I let go of the wheel.”
C.Y.M. – ‘Life of Mine’ [feat. Day Wave]
Vampire Weekend’s Chris Baio and British producer Fort Romeau (aka Mike Greene) have announced their debut LP as C.Y.M., sharing the driving, hypnotic Day Wave collab ‘Life of Mine’ along with the news. The track comes paired with a video by Tom Mull.
Kali Malone and Drew McDowall – ‘The Sound in My Mind’
Kali Malone and Drew McDowall have announced a collaborative album titled Magnetism, which arrives November 7. “Playing this music felt like singing, as I freely followed my internal voice,” Malone commented. “I had been holding a lot of those melodies inside of me for so long.” McDowall added: “The music is surprisingly accessible even though some of the timbres are extreme; it’s not foreboding or even opaque. We might even be dabbling with pop sentiments.” I wouldn’t call the first single ‘The Sound in My Mind’ pop, necessarily, but I do hear the internal voice Malone mentions taking the music to some interesting places.
Whitney – ‘Back to the Wind’
Whitney have previewed their upcoming record, Small Talk, with a breezy tune called ‘Back to the Wind’. “I think what’s stuck with me most about ‘Back to the Wind’ is the way the imagery ended up unfolding across the instrumental,” the band’s Julien Ehrlich shared. “In the past, we’ve always insisted that each word on a lyric sheet so deliberately leads you back to the sentiment of the hook that it almost leaves no room for imagination. With ‘BTTW,’ it felt more compelling to steer the second half into a series of images that might mean something different to each person that hears it. And, since this was the first song we wrote for the record, I think it informed the way we pushed ourselves to explore and dig deeper lyrically overall. Also, [Max Kakacek’s] guitar solo goes crazy.”
Skullcrusher – ‘Dragon’
Skullcrusher has followed up ‘Exhale’, which we named one of the best songs of August, with the second single from her forthcoming And Your Song is Like a Circle. Helen Ballentine wrote the hazy, absorbing song “while thinking about dissociation and how it can feel to be brought back to the ground from this state,” she explained. “Like in Spirited Away when Chihiro begins to disappear in the spirit world she touches Haku’s hand, which pulls her back but then she can’t move her legs. It is a heavy thing to feel the weight of living and pull yourself back to earth. I was interested in the idea of this being a heavy burden but also a necessary aspect of living. It is hopeful but scary as well. Similar to the way armor is a protection but also a burden, either physically or mentally. It’s difficult to protect yourself.”
Sudan Archives – ‘COME AND FIND YOU’
As she gears up for the release of her new album THE BPM, Sudan Archives has dropped a new single, the snaky, confident ‘COME AND FIND YOU’. The track was built around a loop created by one of Sudan Archives’ stylists, Umesi, which she turned into a beat in real time.
Militarie Gun – ‘Throw Me Away’
Militarie Gun have shared ‘Throw Me Away’, the second single from their forthcoming album God Save the Gun, following ‘B A D I D E A’. Like that song, it’s both infectious and heartfelt. “‘Throw Me Away’ is about the feeling of only being valued when you’re visible or useful and the desperate need to hold onto that,” frontman Ian Shelton explained. “What someone loves about you one day might be cited as a reason they hate you now. It’s the desire for external validation and also the deep resentment of it.”
Matt Berninger – ‘Blue Monday’ (New Order Cover)
The National’s Matt Berninger, backed by his Get Sunk band, has shared a cover of New Order’s ‘Blue Monday’ as an Amazon exclusive.
Melody’s Echo Chamber & El Michels Affair – ‘Daisy’
Are you starting to miss that Clairo Charm energy? Well, Melody’s Echo Chamber, the moniker of French musician Melody Prochet, has come through with her own collaboration with El Michels Affair, aka Leon Michels. “‘Daisy’ started as a daydream while listening to Leon’s finest music,” Prochet recalled. “I reached out to him, and we instantly created this sweet overlapping zone—like an invisible playground between our worlds. It’s a privilege to have made this one together!”
Dove Ellis – ‘To the Sandals’
Dove Ellis, who is opening for Geese in North America this fall, has unveiled a new single. The stirring ‘To the Sandals is made up of “reflections on a failing shotgun marriage in Cancún,” according to the Irish singer-songwriter.
Margaret Glaspy and James Bay – ‘These Days’ (Jackson Browne/Nico Cover)
Margaret Glaspy’s covers EP The Golden Heart Protector is out this Friday, and she’s teamed up with James Bay for its latest single, a cover of Nico’s Jackson Browne-penned ‘These Days’. “Margaret and I met back in 2016, I reached out as a huge fan of her record Emotions and Math,” Bay recalled. “We were playing the same festival and though we were on different stages at the same time, she sent a signed copy of her record to my dressing room. We’ve been friends ever since! In 2024 Margaret was in London playing some solo shows; she asked if she knew anyone who might be able to open up the show. I asked if I could and she said yes! We decided it would be fun to do a cover song together and we found These Days on a playlist of hers and thought it could make for a cool duet so we worked out a version that afternoon and that evening we played it live. We loved duetting and agreed it would be fun to capture it in the studio some time. At the end of 2024 we happened to be in LA at the same time and Margaret was working with Ryan Lerman in the studio. Margaret and I realised this was our chance to record These Days, she invited me over and we captured it in just a couple hours! The rest is history! I’m so grateful to Margaret for her friendship and inspiration, I’m such a huge fan of her work.”
Joy Orbison – ‘play it again’
UK electronic musician Joy Orbison has dropped a new single called ‘play it again’. “‘play it again’ started in London, but it really began to take shape while I was out in San Francisco,” he explained. “That trip ended up being quite a memorable one. I got pulled in to Portola to fill in for another artist and I ended up playing to a lot more people than I expected. My music’s far from Stockhausen but it still surprises me when I get to play to so many people in big spaces like that. I spent the rest of the trip chipping away on ‘play it again’, I recorded some synths at Empire Studios in San Fran, and I think the drums came together on the flight home, elbow deep in those mini bottles of wine and newly procured sleeping aids.” He added, “This track is going to be part of something bigger but I got impatient waiting for that to come together (my fault). I just really wanted to have this one out there. This is where my heads at right now and there’s a lot more to come.”
dust – ‘Alastair’
Australia’s dust have shared a gorgeous new single, ‘Alastair’. The band’s Gabriel Stove and Justin Teale explained: “‘Alastair’ is a song about meeting someone down on their luck and feeling conflictingly empathetic for them. It is navigating the challenges of growing up without getting bitter. It’s a short story from when we went on a writing trip in Mullumbimby. We met a man named Alastair at the Mullumbimby Motel and within 5 minutes of meeting him he recounted his whole recent years of life, how he couldn’t get ahead.”
Wisp – Yellow (Coldplay Cover)
Wisp transfers Coldplay’s ‘Yellow’ into a modern shoegaze context with her new cover, which reminds me of IAN SWEET’s rendition. “‘Yellow’ to me is a childhood memory that I wanted to rendition into my present life,” Natalie R. Lu explained. “A song that I never understood the depth of, to now relating to the lyrics and singing them with the emotion of my romantic journeys this past year.”
The Telephone Numbers – ‘Battle of Blythe Road’
San Fransisco band The Telephone Numbers have shared a new single, ‘Battle of Blythe Road’, from their upcoming LP Scarecrow II. “A lot of this record was written about my journey in music, and while I was coming up with the lyrics for ‘Battle of Blythe Road’, I came across the story of the magickal battle between William Butler Yeats and Aleister Crowley,” the group’s Thomas Rubenstein explained. “This incredible anecdote felt like a parable for my tussles with ego – personal and otherwise – in the music world. I had a lot of fun coming up with the mandolin sections and was blown away by K. Dylan Edrich’s off-the-cuff fiddle solo before the outro. Always a blast working with her.”
villagerrr – ‘Portsmouth Raceway’
villagerrr has shared a new unreleased track from the band’s 2024 LP Tear Your Heart Out, which will be reissued by Winspear on October 10. “This song is about Portsmouth, Ohio. I lived there for five years in my early 20’s going to school and running and making guitar loops and some of my first recordings,” Columbus, Ohio’s Mark Allen Scott explained. “It’s about an hour south of Chillicothe, down state route 23, where I grew up. There’s a huge floodwall with murals painted on it that give a history of the city. I’d run by it almost every day. River Days is a street fair that happens there every summer that’s mentioned in the song. Smash Mouth played there for free, and Blue Oyster Cult.”
Armand Hammer (aka billy woods and ELUCID) have announced their second album with producer The Alchemist. The follow-up to 2021’s Haram is called Mercy, and it boasts guest appearances from Earl Sweatshirt, Quelle Chris, Pink Siifu, Cleo Reed, Kapwani, and Silka. The album is out November 7 via woods’ own Backwoodz label, with global physical distribution by Rhymesayers. Check out the album art (by m. Musgrove) and tracklist below.

Sports wagering is a popular form of entertainment in the modern era. This form of betting allows you to predict the outcomes of specific sporting events and receive generous rewards.
However glamorous it may seem, indulging in sports wagering demands having a strategy and carefully analysing data. Let’s review how data and strategy ensure you stay on top of your game in the wagering scene.
Sports Data & Strategy
Before advancing in any field, you must familiarise yourself with the basics. Having an understanding of the fundamentals of sports data gives you a solid foundation to build on. Before making any wager, you must be well-versed in the sport. Those relying on sports gaming platforms like betway get both historical and real-time data.
Understanding sports data means you learn the game rules and collect information on which teams or players are likely to win and which side showcases more power. Furthermore, different bets have varying benefits and disadvantages. Understanding them broadens your general knowledge of the sport, giving you a better shot at receiving big payouts..
For instance, football enthusiasts understand the impact a single player can have on the game. Knowing that certain influential players are on the team’s lineup three days earlier allows you to wager on good odds before they decrease as the matchday approaches.
Technological advancements enable Betway and other platforms to bet on events of a live game. With this new form of live wagering, players can access real-time data during the match and adjust their bets to the changing conditions. For instance, if the top scorer in a football team has been injured, you can adjust your goal bets to suit the remaining part of the game.
Managing Your Bankroll
Managing the money you’ve put aside for betting on sports betting zambia determines how long you can play and how successful you will be. In sport wagering, losses are inevitable, especially when you don’t have a bankroll management strategy.
Bankroll management primarily aims to manage risk during wagering by taking calculated and informed risks. This increases the odds of being profitable in the long run. Depending on how you are fairing, you can customize your betting size.
Consistency & Discipline
Consistency and discipline are crucial elements to your success in any field of life, including the sports universe. Though considered simple concepts, they can dramatically shift your bankroll balance when properly implemented.
Consistency in your wagering size means you risk a steady amount of your bankroll on each bet. Discipline is equally essential in following through with your wagering plans, regardless of small or big payouts. Doing so lets you stay in the game longer and absorb more swings.
Conclusion
Sports wagering no longer involves taking a wild swing in the dark. There are systems in place that collect data that drives gaming strategy. Receiving key information such as historical performance statistics, team, and player news early enough gives you a better chance of making data-informed wagering decisions. Sticking to a plan prevents you from clouding your judgment, making way for rational decisions.
Photography has always been about capturing the right moment. But as every creator, business, or casual smartphone user knows, photos don’t always turn out perfect. Lighting might be off, details may blur, or unwanted objects can sneak into the frame. That’s where AI-powered photo editing tools like mejorar calidad de imagen and remove object from photostep in.
With AirBrush, these tools are more than quick fixes—they’re part of a complete suite that empowers anyone to transform images into professional-quality visuals. Whether you’re restoring clarity to a treasured memory, enhancing content for social media, or cleaning up a product photo for e-commerce, the combination of Image Enhancer and Object Remover gives you total creative control.
Part One: Image Enhancer
What Is an Image Enhancer?
An Image Enhancer is designed to automatically improve photo quality. Instead of manually adjusting contrast, sharpness, and noise, AirBrush’s AI studies every pixel in your image and applies corrections intelligently. The result? Clearer, brighter, and sharper photos in just a click.
This tool is especially valuable in a digital landscape where high-resolution visuals are critical for engagement, sales, and credibility.
Why Image Enhancement Matters
Clarity Wins Attention – Blurry photos are quickly ignored online. Sharp images attract more eyes.
Better Conversions for Businesses – Crisp product images increase trust and purchase likelihood.
Restoring Memories – Old or low-quality photos can be revived, preserving important moments.
Professional Image – For resumes, LinkedIn, or company websites, quality visuals make a strong impression.
Key Features of AirBrush’s Image Enhancer
AI Upscaling – Improves resolution without distortion.
Noise Reduction – Removes grain from low-light photos.
Color and Tone Adjustment – Balances exposure and brightness.

E-Commerce Sellers – Display products clearly, even when shot in suboptimal conditions.
Photographers – Speed up post-processing by letting AI handle the basics.

Part Two: Object Remover
What Is an Object Remover?
An Object Remover is a tool that identifies unwanted elements in an image and removes them seamlessly. With AirBrush, it works intelligently—filling in the erased area with surrounding details so the edit looks natural, not patched.
Whether it’s a photo-bombing stranger, a distracting background element, or a watermark, the Object Remover lets you take control of your images.
Why Object Removal Matters
Distraction-Free Visuals – The focus stays on the subject, not random clutter.
Professional Content – Cleaner images boost brand consistency.

Step 2: Remove Distractions – Clean up the background or remove unwanted objects.
Step 3: Final Touches – The result is a professional-looking image that’s ready to share or use for business.

Speed – Minutes instead of hours.
Accessibility – Anyone can edit without advanced knowledge.

In recent years, loot boxes have become a feature in modern video games, particularly in some of the big games like FIFA, Fortnite, and Overwatch.
For some players, they’re an entertaining feature, a kind of digital scratchcard that adds a layer of excitement to gameplay, while for others, especially concerned parents, loot boxes raise uncomfortable questions about how closely gaming is beginning to resemble gambling—especially when millions of players are children or teenagers.
Loot boxes are essentially virtual grab bags. Inside might be a rare player card, a weapon upgrade, or a cosmetic skin. Sometimes you earn them by playing the game, but increasingly, players can purchase them directly using real money, usually through an in-game currency like FIFA Points.
The Gambling Comparison and Its Psychological Impact
The catch? You never know what you’re buying until after the transaction is complete. That randomised outcome—combined with the option to keep spending for another chance at something better—has led many to draw direct comparisons to gambling. And those comparisons aren’t without merit.
Developers deliberately design these systems to ramp up anticipation. Consider FIFA’s Ultimate Team mode. In that game mode you open a pack and that triggers bright graphics, celebratory sounds, and animations that draw out the reveal.
The entire process echoes the thrill of a slot machine or that of a casino spin and the psychological principle behind it—variable ratio reinforcement—keeps users engaged by rewarding them with unpredictably. A quick look at casino sites like Betfree shows that the majority of online casinos use bonuses, and flashy graphics to keep people hooked – similar to loot boxes.
When you look at it it is the same principle that drives slot machines, where the uncertainty and the occasional big win keeps players hooked. The concern is heightened by the age of many of the players.
Titles that feature loot boxes are extremely popular among teenagers, and even children. In competitive environments—particularly in games like FIFA—having better gear or rare players often translates into a real advantage.
So while developers insist that most loot box rewards are cosmetic or optional, the reality is that many games hift toward a pay-to-win model and that is seen in games such as Call of Duty as well. I In that game, as well as Fifa, stories have emerged over the past few years of children spending hundreds—or even thousands—on loot boxes in pursuit of a competitive edge.
Regulation, Ethics, and the Future of Loot Boxes
Academic research has only added to the alarm. A study published in the journal Addiction in 2020 found a significant link between money spent on loot boxes and signs of problem gambling, especially among younger players. The study concluded that the more money someone spent, the more likely they were to report behaviours consistent with gambling harm, such as chasing losses or struggling to stop.
While researchers stop short of claiming causation, the pattern is difficult to ignore. A separate report highlighted by Eurogamer in 2021 found that loot boxes generate billions annually. Much of that revenue comes from a relatively small group of players who spend a lot more than the average user. This revenue model is nearly identical to that which is seen in casinos, which rely on a small subset of heavy users to drive profits.
Despite growing concern, regulatory bodies have been slow to act. In the UK, the Gambling Commission has so far declined to classify loot boxes as gambling mainly because in-game items lack real-world value under the law. Critics argue that this is a legal technicality that misses the point entirely.
Whether or not you can cash out the items, the player is still paying money for an unknown outcome—exactly the core mechanic of gambling. The presentation of loot boxes doesn’t help the industry’s case. In FIFA, for example, the visual and audio cues during pack openings mimic the dramatics of a game show or a live draw, making the experience more about chance than skill. Games even encourage players to share their rare pulls on social media, which is a trend that you can see all over TikTok and Twitter now, reinforcing the buzz around these digital “wins.”
The money involved is staggering. In 2020 alone, EA made more than $1 billion from FIFA’s Ultimate Team mode. According to figures from Juniper Research, loot boxes worldwide generated around $15 billion that same year.
This reliance on microtransactions, particularly from a small group of users, has sparked ethical debates—especially considering that many of these high spenders are underage or unaware of how much they’re spending.
Governments have responded differently. Belgium and the Netherlands have taken firm action by banning loot boxes that involve real-money purchases. Belgium went so far as to outlaw them entirely in 2018. In the Netherlands, EA was fined €10 million in 2020 over FIFA packs, although that case is still under appeal. The UK has instead opted for a softer approach, encouraging game developers to self-regulate. EA’s move to introduce “preview packs,” which let players see contents before deciding to buy, was welcomed by some but widely viewed as a minimal concession. Critics argue that relying on voluntary measures is inadequate, particularly given how aggressively games target younger users.
Loot boxes don’t just resemble gambling—they introduce children to gambling-like behaviours long before they’re old enough to walk into a betting shop. The UK’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport launched a review into loot boxes back in 2020, but a final report is not expected until late 2025. In the meantime, stories continue to emerge of children unknowingly spending thousands.
The debate ultimately centres around a difficult but pressing question: should companies be allowed to monetise chance-based mechanics in games marketed to young people? Loot boxes may not always meet the legal definition of gambling, but the psychological effects, particularly on impressionable players, are well documented.
And while parents bear the financial burden when children overspend, the long-term behavioural effects may be an even higher price to pay. If gaming continues down this path unchecked, the industry risks not only public trust but the well-being of the next generation of players. The call for clearer regulation isn’t about limiting creativity in game design—it’s about drawing a line where profit should no longer outweigh responsibility.
Online casinos have grown to be a central piece of digital entertainment in 2025, providing players with instant access to slots, poker, table games, and live dealer experiences. In California, people typically opt for one of the established offshore websites that offer instant payouts, reliable payment methods, and a vast array of games.
Two of the most popular ones are Ignition and Jackbit, which are both online casinos that regularly rank among the top in a variety of consistent and engaging categories.
Both casinos offer players a seamless gaming experience, along with robust support for crypto, making them even more appealing to those seeking quick payouts and flexible fund access.
In this guide, we have highlighted the best California online casinos in consideration of their game libraries, promotions, payouts, and overall usability to support readers in selecting the best options available in 2025.
Note: California does not license online casinos for real money; people mostly play on sweepstakes platforms and offshore sites. You can use a VPN connection to play at these casinos and use cryptocurrency for deposit and withdrawal without breaking any local laws.

Find Your Perfect Bitcoin Casino in New Zealand

Kiwi players often look for fast payouts, strong welcome bonuses, a wide range of pokies, and even live sports betting options. Here’s a breakdown to help you pick your perfect fit:
Biggest Bonus:Cloudbet takes the lead with a massive 5 BTC welcome package, giving players a strong start for both casino games and sports betting.

Before committing your BTC, test the site’s customer support, explore demo modes, and check the user interface. This ensures the casino matches your gaming needs, whether you’re here for pokies, poker, or sports betting. With the right choice, your Bitcoin experience in New Zealand can be fast, fun, and fully rewarding.
Legality of Crypto & Bitcoin Casinos in New Zealand
Currently, it’s legal for Kiwis to access offshore crypto casinos, but regulation is rapidly changing. The Online Casino Gambling Bill, introduced in June 2025, is moving towards a licensing model, with 15 official licenses to be issued in 2026.
Until then, international crypto sites operate in a “grey” market, where players can gamble and withdraw winnings, but local authorities don’t protect funds or enforce fair play. Always choose reputable sites and stay informed about regulatory updates.
NZ Casinos to Avoid
Avoid casinos that lack transparent ownership, don’t publish provable fairness audits, or have a history of repeated payment complaints from Kiwi users. Steer clear of any site with murky licensing (like “Curaçao only”), minimal responsible gambling tools, or that operates without SSL security.
Shady operators may block NZ players from withdrawals, limit bonuses abruptly, or delay BTC payouts. Before joining, read recent NZ reviews and check community forums. Safer sites request KYC only once and follow through on instant payments; trust is everything.
How to Deposit at a New Zealand Online Casino Using Bitcoin?
Depositing Bitcoin at a New Zealand online casino is simple and fast, giving you instant access to pokies, table games, and live dealer action. Most top NZ crypto casinos like Ignition, Jackbit, and Wild.io make the process smooth, secure, and beginner-friendly. Here’s how it works step by step:
Register an Account: Sign up at your chosen crypto casino. Ensure your details are accurate to facilitate smooth withdrawals later.
Locate the Wallet Address: Go to the banking or deposit section and select Bitcoin. The casino will provide a unique wallet address or QR code for your deposit.

What Are BTC Withdrawal Speeds?
Most NZ crypto casinos process Bitcoin withdrawals within 10–60 minutes after approval, thanks to blockchain efficiency. Cloudbet and Bovada typically complete BTC cashouts within two hours. While some manual KYC checks may add time to the first withdrawal, most players face little delay.
Fast BTC withdrawals remain a major reason Kiwi players choose crypto casinos over traditional payment methods, as they expect funds to be processed much faster than with bank transfers.
