New Music Highlights In Alternative Sounds

  • Kacey Musgraves – “Dry Spell”

    Kacey Musgraves – “Dry Spell”

    Musgraves doesn’t need much beyond an echo of twang and a few barnyard double entendres to get what she means here — especially if you’re not getting any either.

  • HOLY DOSE – “Fluorescents”

    HOLY DOSE – “Fluorescents”

    The highlight from the alternative hardcore band’s debut EP doesn’t let the best moments out of sight, yet loudly makes it known how tough it is to grapple with when they’re getting further away from you, too.

  • Buzz Sound: Knumears

    Buzz Sound: Knumears

    Burning behind their debut album, ‘Directions’, the future is alit for the Los Angeles skramz trio, even as everything else in this world turns to ash.

  • Teen Suicide – “Suffering (Mike’s Way)”

    Teen Suicide – “Suffering (Mike’s Way)”

    For anyone damning themselves with preconceived expectations, the final flex from ‘Nude descending staircase headless’ is a reminder that Teen Suicide is not here to do it well just one way.

  • Kelela – “idea 1”

    Kelela – “idea 1”

    On her metal-bladed new single, the post-genre R&B futurist’s magnetic force field knows no bounds, be it in sound or allure.

  • Winston Hightower – “Selfish Shooter”

    Winston Hightower – “Selfish Shooter”

    The prolific lo-fi guitar-pop songwriter is a butterfly fluttering electric toward romantic fixations in wonderfully nervous its on the highlight off his new album, ‘100 Acre Wood’.

  • Iceage – “Ember”

    Iceage – “Ember”

    The Danish punk band grab you by the hand to run for dear life in the direction of a spectacular crash on the latest single from their new album, ‘For Love of Grace & the Hereafter’.

  • Marbled Eye – “Something’s Different”

    Marbled Eye – “Something’s Different”

    There’s no regard to slashing through the malaise here — only an intent to stand out just to feel something on the lead single from the Oakland post-punks’ new EP, ‘Forever’.

  • Gun Outfit – “So Easy To Love”

    Gun Outfit – “So Easy To Love”

    Capturing a desert mystique that still exists beyond the mirage of a screen, this is the kind of place you’d rather be with the latest offering from the hermitic Los Angeles band’s new double LP, ‘Process and Reality’.

  • Parlor Walls – “Arrow”

    Parlor Walls – “Arrow”

    Viscerally fixated yet sharply chic in its dark, industrial punk design, this highlight from the Brooklyn duo’s new album, ‘Big Crystal Dreams’, leaves behind a scene flushed in violent red.
