On May 13, M(h)aol will release their new album Something Soft, which will be out on Merge Records.

We’ve already heard three brilliant songs from it, and now the band continues their hot streak of singles with another new offering — “I Miss My Dog”. Clocking in under three minutes, it’s a short, raw, and gnarly slab of noise rock, soaked in distortion and industrial grime.

The track is released alongside a lovely, band-made video featuring crowd-sourced clips of fans’ pets. It is a touching homage to the dogs we’ve cherished, both those we’ve lost and those still by our side.

Check it out below and pre-order the LP here.

[video] The Horrors – More Than Life

Having already teased us with some great new singles, The Horrors have shared another new cut/video, “More Than Life”.

The song is a striking testament to the enduring allure of gothic rock and post-punk, combining the brooding introspection of its verses with an unforgettable, anthemic chorus that ignites a cathartic release.

The band explains: “We still needed a couple more songs for the album before going to LA to record at Yves’ studio, and we were in that insular part of the process where it feels like the outside world doesn’t exist. The song is basically about the question of what matters to you and by that point we were definitely clear on where we were heading”.

All released songs will be part of the forthcoming LP Night Life (set for release on March 21 through Fiction Records), the band’s sixth album and the first one with the updated lineup.

Building on the success of their previous single “Mere Mortal”, DEADLETTER have unveiled another preview of their upcoming debut album Hysterical Strength (out on September 13 through SO Recordings) — “Mother”.

The song takes direct inspiration from the Bong Joon Ho film of the same name and is another outstanding art punk stomper from the group. It blends intricate guitar riffs with cascading saxophone melodies, featuring segments that rise and fall dramatically, leaving a lasting impression on the listener.

Earlier this month Charly Bliss announced their new LP FOREVER, which will be out on August 16 via Lucky Number. We already heard “Nineteen”, and now the group presents another new single/video “Calling You Out”, an anthemic track that exemplifies the essence of a guitar-pop hit.

It balances the infectious energy and edge of rock music with the polished, hook-laden structure of pop and is accompanied by a video directed by Adam Kolodny, which draws inspiration from the Beastie Boys’ 1989 “Shake Your Rump” music video and Wong Kar-wai’s 1995 film Fallen Angels.

Renowned Anglo-French avant-garde electronic pop artist Julia-Sophie announced her debut solo album forgive too slow, which would be out July 26 via Ba Da Bing Records.

Together with the news she is sharing a beautiful new single/music video “numb”, the artist’s effort to convey the tumultuous thoughts swirling in her mind and heart. It is a powerful audiovisual experience and compelling piece that combines sophisticated electronic production with raw, heartfelt emotion.
