You have to love those guitars.

"Bear Biscuit," the latest track from Mr Oizo, should come with a whiplash warning.  Opening with an ominous drone, the track explodes into head-banging stupidity, and I mean that in the very best way.  For almost three minutes disconnected voices, abrasive fire-alarm squeals, and steroid-injected glitch mosh together in a beautiful demonstration of organized chaos.  As the dust settles and a broken-record vocal loop closes out the track, one gets the feeling of being in a post-Godzilla Tokyo; equal parts confusion, terror, and amazement.

A week ahead of its scheduled release date, Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly is up for sale on iTunes.

Because I'm reading Secret Wars and actually enjoying it, this one is titled after the current Marvel event. The Marvel U is destroyed, and replaced with a frankensteined universe called Battleworld.

FKA twigs has released her M3LL155X EP, out now via Young Turks. The EP was made with collaborators Boots, tic and Cy An, and the bulk of it came from “a spontaneous creative period” a few months after the release of her LP1 that lasted just a few days.

Renata Flores' version of Michael Jackson's 'The way you make me feel' has become a YouTube hit in South America. Something neither she nor her mother expected when they first made the video in Quechua, the language of the Incas .

How does Depression Cherry work out for someone who's depressed? Our writer finds out... the hard way.

My favorite music meme of the summer was this mix boiling down the Human League’s 1981 hit “Don’t You Want Me?” to its opening phrase: “You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar,” repeated in endless, sublimely moronic variations. It condenses into less than three minutes all the smart dumbness and stylish awkwardness of ’80s music.

No matter if you listen to country music at dive bars, tailgate parties or spin class, there's a little something for everyone among the new albums being released this fall.

Because sometimes you need to GTD!

Calexico is a Tucson, Arizona-based Americana / Tex-Mex / indie rock band.

Great new album from Disclosure - check it out if you like house music and you might like this too. I shared on Apple Music, but check it out wherever you get your music from.

Conjuring a virtual indie rock orchestra out of its two members, Bad Veins emerged from the Cincinnati scene in the late 2000s with a diverse sound slyly incorporating electro, space rock, new wave, goth, and shoegaze.

Hailing from sunny San Diego, the Alternative Pop-Rock quartet Belmont Lights was launched in the summer of 2012. Belmont Lights, made up of Casey Peek (guitar), Chad Wolf (drums), Isaiah Blas (vocals, keys), and Jed Peek (bass, synth), has spent the last two years honing their soaring, melodic sound while playing up-and-down the West Coast,

Fictionist is an alternative rock band from Provo, Utah, with origins in Salt Lake City, Utah and Sacramento, California. The band consists of Stuart Maxfield (lead vocals, bass guitar), Robbie Connolly (lead vocals, guitar), Brandon Kitterman (guitar, bass guitar), and Aaron Anderson (drums).

John Pita, Avi Snow and Zach Para. Two guitars, a box, some bells, and a sound that is far greater than the sum of those parts. Their music has been called "tremendous," "powerful," "mesmerizing," and "a re-invention of acoustic music." It's acoustic, it's instrumental. It's worldly, running the gamut from wide-screen post-rock dynamics to gypsy jazz.

It didn't take long for David Wimbish's solo project to become a full band. The community that had inspired his music quickly began to embody the songs, wielding instruments last played in middle school marching band, and fulfilling 'the Collection's name. Coming from Greensboro, North Carolina, their songs stem from an awareness of their state's folk roots, and an appreciation of orchestral and world music.

Beecher’s Fault hails from beautiful Astoria, New York. The leaders of the band, Ken Lamken and Ben Taylor, met in New Jersey a few years back before they booked it to NYC to seek out the limelight after realizing their musical compatibility. Max Maples (drums) and Serge Ruccolo (Bass) now complete the quartet that has been said to have live performances that produce a “wall of sound” complemented by “raw, honest lyrics” and “pristine vocal harmonies”.

Electro-Vogue - New York, New York A blend of voice, dance, and electronic music, in a land far, far away from convention. Pop, House, World, Soul- This is Shirley House.

Glasgow, Scotland Band. There’s something appropriately off-colour about WHITE, a Glasgow pop outfit sending the genre’s conventions into dark grimy corners. With a mixture of glam and funk. It’s led by Leo Condie, a magnetic frontman.

Prides are a Scottish synthpop band formed in Glasgow in 2013. Made up of Stewart Brock (piano, lead vocals), Callum Wiseman (guitar, piano, vocals) and Lewis Gardiner (drums).

No Devotion are a Welsh/American alternative rock supergroup formed by American singer Geoff Rickly (formerly of the band Thursday) from New Jersey, and former band members of the Welsh band Lostprophets from Pontypridd. It was formed almost 6 months after Lostprophets broke up on 1 October 2013.

So, Chis Baio of Vampire Weekend makes dance songs on the sly, and what do you know, they're not too shabby at all. Though the jarring combination of DFA-esque house and tacky "dumbsmart arena techno" shouldn't work, it most definitely does. Out 18 September

Meat Wave – 'Delusion Moon': For fans of speedy, suburban garage rock and/or 'Humbug'-era Arctic Monkeys, Chicago three-piece Meat Wave channel the loose and lysergic sound of Austin TX's little known 90s punk scene. This, their sophomore album, is an unvarnished, urgent missive from the real people of the heartland, and a bloody good laugh.

A supergroup forged from various luminaries of the ever-fertile Leeds indie scene, Menace Beach continue in their quest to revive the gorgeously wasted sound of stoned, early 90s hippy-grunge.

Fidlar specialise in cassette-punk beamed direct from some trashed suburb of Santa Cruz in the late '80s, back when So-Cal bands did punk as sunny, fast and silly garage rock. 'Too' continues the lineage with a more mid-fi new turn, nailing a sub genre well worth reviving.

The Wombats are an English indie rock band formed in Liverpool. The band comprises native Liverpudlians Matthew Murphy (lead vocals, guitar, keyboard), Daniel (Dan) Haggis (drums, percussion, guitar, keyboard and backing vocals) and Norwegian-born Tord Øverland Knudsen (bass guitar, guitar, keyboard and backing vocals). The band is signed to 14th Floor Records in the United Kingdom and Bright Antenna in the United States.

You know what The Strypes are all about. Sure you do. Four Irish teenagers who’ve been playing garage blues since roughly the time they learnt to walk. Thrashing out R’n’B rave ups like a group of mates who’d bunked double Geography to play a quick covers set down the Bag O’Nails club circa 1965. All mini mohair suits, wailing harmonica and punky freakbeat.

Great music.
