Rico Nasty and Boys Noize have announced a joint EP, HVRDC0RE DR3AMZ, which will drop on March 29. Today, they’re previewing it with the new single ‘Arintintin’, which you can hear below.
Discussing the collaboration, Rico Nasty said in a press release:
Me and Boys Noize started working back in 2018… We finally met in real life after being mutuals for like a year. We did one session, it was fire! And then a few months later ended up on the Friendship Cruise together (for the first time). After the cruise, we made “Money” (feat. Flo Milli) and “1+1” — a song you’ll hear very soon on this project. Fast forward again, maybe 3-4 years, and we did a couple more sessions. We kept gravitating towards techno dance music. He started putting me on to German dance music, and we traded a bunch of songs back and forth. Little by little over a few days, we ended up making three more songs that we really loved and decided we wanted to share with the world. Every session was so much fun and I’m sure that energy is felt across all of these tracks. One of my favorite songs on the project is… all of them. That’s why she is so short!! Talk to you later and see you guys soon.
New York five-piece Been Stellar – vocalist Sam Slocum, guitarists Skyler Knapp and Nando Dale, bassist Nico Brunstein, and drummer Laila Wayan – have announced their debut album, Scream From New York, NY. The LP, which was produced by Dan Carey, is out June 14 via their new label home Dirty Hit. Check out the Gabriel Jace Long-directed video for lead single ‘Passing Judgment’ below.
“We were finishing ‘Passing Judgment’ in the midst of our first tour in the UK. Playing through it a bit differently each show, we were learning to look at the song from different angles. The recording feels live because of this process — there’s a chaotic feeling in the drums and bass that wouldn’t be there if we hadn’t finished writing it live,” Slocum shared in a statement. “Lyrically I was thinking about why we judge the world around us, and how passing judgment on someone or something is usually rooted in being unsure in oneself.”

Los Angeles-based musician Tom Krell has announced his first How to Dress Well album in six years. Following up The Anteroom, the new LP, I Am Toward You, is slated to arrive on May 10 via Sargent House. To accompany the announcement, he’s unveiled the new songs ‘New Confusion’ and ‘No Light’, which feature contributions from CFCF, Trayer Tryon, and Anarthia DLT. Take a listen below, and keep scrolling for the album cover and tracklist.
Opening up about ‘New Confusion’, Krell said: “It’s about how to relate to the past knowing the hard limits on human memory and the challenges of metabolizing intergenerational-anthropogenetic trauma. ‘At best regret, at worst forgetfulness,’ I sing in the chorus – a tortured concept of memory, no doubt. But I also sing that there is a path to freedom from this bind.”
Of ‘No Light’, he added: “‘No Light’ is a song about contemporary LA, a place simply teeming with unspeakable suffering. It is, like LA, paradoxically and fundamentally also a bop. It’s a song I wrote after an interaction I had during the pandemic, something like a scene from Mulholland Drive, a young woman crawling across the ground in the alley behind my house in a white dress screaming about a ‘pig mask.’”
Chris Votek, Joel Ford, Josh Clancy, Brian Allen Simon (Anenon), and Aaron Charles Read also collaborated with Krell on the new LP. The title I Am Toward You came about as a result of Krell’s wife mishearing a lyric from Miley Cyrus’ ‘I Adore You’. “[She said,] ‘wow, that’s a powerful lyric,’ I asked which lyric, and she responded that she heard the chorus as having said: ‘I Am Toward You,'” he explained. “Because I had expressed to her that I thought the song was powerful, she generously attuned her mind to hear something powerful, something profound.”

mui zyu – the project of London-based experimental pop artist Eva Liu – has announced her sophomore LP, nothing or something to die for. The follow-up to last year’s Rotten Bun for an Eggless Century is due on May 24 via Father/Daughter Records. It includes the previously shared single ‘everything to die for’, as well as a new track, ‘the mould’, which comes with a video directed by Liu’s Dama Scout bandmate Danny Grant. Check it out below and find the album cover and tracklist below.
“‘the mould’ is a frosted glacial sweetie about the many meanings of mould. mould is very cool, and the right kind can give you super powers,” Liu explained in a statement. “unfortunately though, it’s less than ideal to be squeezed in to a mould that doesn’t fit snuggly. so i’m at the bottom of the rotten jelly bowl trying to work out what mould is the good kind, and what is the bad kind, and maybe realising none of it really matters at all, as long as i can get out of this steep, slippery bowl. this also marks a new approach for my writing indicative of the whole record in a kind of anti-overture-y way.”

St. Vincent has announced her next album, All Born Screaming.

It was recorded at her own Compound Fracture studio in Los Angeles, as well as Electric Lady in New York and Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio in Chicago. “There are some places, emotionally, that you can only get to by taking the long walk into the woods alone—to find out what your heart is really saying,” she said in a press release. “It sounds real because it is real.”

Bully has released a new song, a piano ballad called ‘Atom Bomb’. It marks Alicia Bognanno’s first new music since last year’s Lucky for You. The accompanying live video was directed by Bree Marie Fish and shot at MMK studios in Nashville, TN. Check it out below.
“The song was originally recorded with a drum machine and electric guitar; it was also quite a bit faster,” Bognanno explained in a statement. “When I played the demo for JT Daly (producer), he had the idea of moving it to the piano. I remember saying out loud, ‘Can you believe I’m trusting anybody like this?’ We both started laughing because starting off as someone who used to record, mix, and produce their own records to avoid the vulnerability that comes with working out creative ideas in the company of others, it was a huge step for me. That was our first real bonding moment, acknowledging that we were mutually up for trying new things and seeing each other’s ideas through before one of us shut it down.”
