Listen to lead single ‘The Power’ below, and scroll down for the album cover and tracklist.
“There’s a saying among my friends from Phoenix about ‘eating the whole apple’ and it has to do with making the most out of life,” Broderick said in a statement. “‘The Power’ is about eating the whole apple. This song meant to ward off anxious thoughts with the power of scuzzy guitars and positive affirmations. To me, this track has Beach Boys chords with Soft Boys production.”

Kristin Hersh has shared the details of her latest album, Clear Pond Road, which is slated to arrive on September 8 via Fire Records. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘Dandelion’. Check it out below.
“Dandelion’s main image is climbing a fire escape up to my dressing room in an alley outside a club I was playing (I’ve never needed to invent metaphors; they’re everywhere),” Hersh explained in a statement. “Anybody in love is always climbing to those eyes, you know? We’ve voyeurs because we can’t ever know the beloved as completely as we want to.”
Clear Pond Road, which follows 2018’s Possible Dust Clouds, was recorded at Stable Sound Studio. “Some records demand to be made,” Hersh added. “And you know this is the case when the songs function as systems in a body. I octavized an acoustic baritone as the skeleton, cellos are the lungs, a Nashville-strung Collings and glockenspiel were the fingertips feeling around in this weird-ass dark space, and drums are always your heart, of course… but the vocals are a strange narrator here. A narrator lost in the story, of all things, more like eyes.”

The San Francisco-based band Loma Prieta have dropped the new single ‘Circular Saw’, taken from their upcoming LP Last. It follows previous offerings ‘Sunlight’ and ‘Glare’. Check it out below.
“‘Circular Saw’ was written during summer of 2020, a time of deep fear and uncertainty; at the time, writing new music was meant as an escape from thinking about the state of the world,” the group shared in a statement. “Interestingly, the song reflects the internal chaos we were trying to calm with writing new music at that time. Listening back, it’s clear there was no way to ignore the mental toll of what was transpiring around us in that moment. It is a clear example of the effects of severe anxiety- serene and low energy one minute, raging anger the next.”
Last is set for release on June 30 on Deathwish, Inc.
Alaska Reid has released a new single, ‘Palomino’, lifted from her forthcoming album Disenchanter. It follows previous offerings ‘She Wonders’ and ‘Back to This’. Listen to it below.
‘Palomino’ finds Reid writing from the perspective of her mother. “My mom lived for a while in Los Angeles in the 80s and worked at a club called the Palomino in North Hollywood,” she explained. “She told me and my sisters all these crazy stories from those days. I wrote this song imagining I was her, working at a club like that.”
Disenchanter, which was co-produced with A. G. Cook, lands July 14 via Luminelle Recordings. Revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with Alaska Reid.
Protomartyr have shared another single from their new album, Formal Growth in the Desert, ahead of its release this Friday June, 2 on Domino. ‘Polacrilex Kid’, which follows previous cuts ‘Elimination Dances’ and ‘Make Way’, comes with a video that previews the band’s upcoming appearance on The Marty Singer Telethon, which premieres on Highland Park TV on Thursday at 7pm ET. Check it out below.
‘Polacrilex Kid’ takes its name from the chemical term for nicotine gum, which singer Joe Casey refers to as an “unwanted friend I’ve become acquainted with since getting on the quit smoking/start smoking again tilt-a-whirl.”
Oceanator, the project of songwriter Elise Okusami, has returned with a new single called ‘Part Time’. The song was co-written with Cheekface’s Greg Katz and mixed by Alex Newport. Give it a listen below.
Oceanator’s most recent album, Nothing’s Ever Fine, came out in 2022. Check out our Artist Spotlight interview with Oceanator.
Former Pains of Being Pure at Heart frontperson Kip Berman has announced his sophomore LP as the Natvral. It’s called Summer of No Light, and it arrives September 1 via Dirty Bingo Records. Lead single ‘Lucifer’s Glory’ is out today, and you can hear it below.
“Don’t let the title fool you – It’s not a full throated ‘Hail Satan’, but it is full throated,” Berman said in a statement. “I suppose I could’ve called it ‘Paradise Lust’. When you hit rock bottom, but wish you could fall deeper – when you’re proud to lose, ‘cuz you know the kind of people who win- when only what’s missing remains… Sure, It’s perverse, crushing, and wrong. But it’s also alright. There were other options, but only one choice. That’s Lucifer’s Glory.”
“These songs live somewhere between the climate crisis of 1816, the climate crisis of now, and the climate crisis of the heart,” Berman added of Summer of No Light. “You might say it’s a gothic record—but the house isn’t haunted. The ghosts moved out years ago, but I still get their mail from time to time.”
