The Jesus Lizard have announced Rack, their first album since 1998’s Blue. It’s out September 13 via Ipecac, and today’s announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘Hide & Seek’. Check it out along with the Austin noise rock band’s just-announced tour dates.
In a press release, vocalist David Yow described ‘Hide & Seek’ as “a perky ditty about a witch who can’t behave, and it’s got nearly as many hooks as a Mike Tyson fight.” Guitarist Duane Denison added, “There are definitely some references to the past, but it’s more as a point of departure: We don’t stay there.”
The Jesus Lizard reconvened in 2009 for a small number of shows. “We literally only made the record because we thought it would be fun to make the record,” bassist David Wm. Drummer Mac McNeilly commented, “We are bonded by the music we make, and also by the respect we have for each other.”

Ahead of the release of their new album Below the Waste this Friday, Goal Girl have offered up one more single, ‘words fell out’. Following previous cuts ‘motorway’ and ‘ride around’, the track comes with a video directed by singer/guitarist Lottie Pendlebury’s sister, Molly Ann Pendlebury, and choreographed by her mother, Lauren Potter. Check it out below.
Lottie Pendlebury wrote the lyrics of ‘words fell around’ while watching drummer Rosy Jones struggle with addiction. “The song is about the helplessness felt amongst our friends as we attempted to nurture Rosy, a time that felt really hard to find words for,” Pendlebury explained. “I wrote it to sort through the emotions that are pushed aside in the midst of dealing with a crisis. The opening line ‘I only want the best for you’ is the central theme, not only of the song but also our friendship.”
bar italia have released a new EP, The Tw*ts, via Matador. It features three previously unreleased tracks – ‘The only conscious being in the universe’, ‘Sarcoustica’, and ‘drumstart’ – written directly after the London-vased trio’s 2023 LP The Twits. Take a listen below.
Kaytranada has teamed up with Channel Tres for ‘Drip Sweat’, the latest single from his upcoming album Timeless, which is out Friday (June 7). Check it out below.
In addition to Channel Tres, Timeless – the follow-up to 2019’s Bubba – boasts guest spots from Childish Gambino, Tinashe, Anderson .Paak, Don Toliver, and Dawn Richard.
Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic treatment that helps to remove or reduce unwanted body hair. Many people use laser hair removal as an alternative to more traditional methods such as waxing and shaving. In this article, The Laser Treatment Clinic explains everything you need to know about laser hair removal. From how to work to the various benefits, stick around if you’re considering laser treatment as an option for hair removal.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal works by using lasers to destroy hair follicles whilst leaving the surrounding skin structures intact. Destroying the hair follicles disrupts the growth of hair, effectively removing it. Laser or IPL (intense pulsed light) penetrates the skin where the hair is and heats the area up which results in damage to the hair follicle. This treatment is much more long-lasting than shaving or waxing, but can result in some side effects too. The more common side effects include: red skin, pain, and discomfort.
However, there are many benefits to laser hair removal treatment. See below:
Permanent hair reduction
One of the main advantages to laser hair removal is the long-lasting reduction in hair growth. Whilst your hair will regrow, it can significantly reduce the thickness and density of the hair in the target areas, making managing your body hair much easier. Many people who opt for laser hair removal see effective and long-lasting results, which can make this procedure worth it.
Speed
Laser treatment for hair removal is a quick procedure, so it won’t take up much of your time. Shaving and waxing have to be done much more frequently and can take a bit longer to remove all the hair, whereas one session of laser treatment is longer lasting and more effective.
Reduce the amount of ingrown hairs
Anyone who shaves will know the pain of ingrown hairs. But did you know that with laser hair removal, you’re much more unlikely to get them? By destroying the hair follicle, not only are you less likely to regrow hair, but hair is less likely to become trapped under the surface of the skin, creating an ingrown hair.
Save time & money
Shaving and waxing can take up a considerable amount of time, since it has to be done more often. With laser hair removal, you not only save time but you can save money in the long run as regular waxing sessions can be expensive as well as always purchasing razors. These ongoing costs add up over time meaning laser hair removal may be the method that saves you money and time, depending on how much you already wax/shave.
Better skin texture
When it comes to laser hair removal, many people find that their skin becomes smoother and less prone to irritation after than it would with other hair removal methods. This is because with shaving or waxing, you have to do this almost constantly, which can really irritate the skin, but laser treatment is less often and more precise.

Sister. – the New York trio composed of Hannah Pruzinsky (aka h. pruz), Ceci Sturman, and James Chrisman – have unveiled a new single, ‘Colorado’. It marks the band’s first new music since their 2023 debut LP Abundance. Check out its V Haddad-directed video below.
“We wrote ‘Colorado’ together,” the band explained in a statement. “Hannah started with the chords and the line ‘You drive to Colorado and I get emotional,’ and we built it all from there. The idea sprawled from the kind of spiraling out that can take over in the early days of a new relationship where so much is still unsaid and inaccessible. Similarly to putting up a front that you’re okay and not over-thinking something, we wanted the song to initially feel gentle, hiding those feelings of circling uncertainty in the drawn out instrumental sections within layered acoustic guitars, a piano spilling over, glitches in a system. The softness never quite breaks, until it erupts in the outro, when we spiral three vocals around the phrase: ‘Despite what you thought you knew. I’m in your corner. I get emotional.’”
Los Bitchos have announced their sophomore album, Talkie Talkie, which will arrive on August 30 via City Slang. The London band laid down the follow-up to 2022’s Let the Festivities Begin! with producer Oli Barton-Wood (Wet Leg, Nilüfer Yanya) and engineer Giles Barrett (Shabaka Hutchings, Ezra Collective). It includes the previously unveiled single ‘La Bomba’, as well as a new track, ‘Don’t Change’. Check out Tom Mitchell’s video for it below.
“’Don’t Change’ is a pure bliss track; think holiday vibes with ice creams, beach balls, sunsets and margaritas,” the band shared in a statement. “It’s feel good, with sun soaked melodies, vibrant arpeggiator synth bass, and layers of percussion. We had such a fun time making the video, making up little dances and frolicking about in the sand and sea!”
