New Video: Atabasca Shares Ethereal and Dreamy “Kundela Mawedi” Italian trio Atabasca -- Luca Mongia (guitar, lap steel, keys, vocals), Paolo Mazzioti (bass, keys, vocals) and Valerio Pompei (drums, percussion, vocals) -- features three highly accomplished musicians, who over the course of the past 20 yers have made names for themselves individually on the national and international scene. Formed back in 2023, the trio got together to create a project that merges experience, experimentation and creative freedom. The trio's sound moves through jazz-funk, world music and film scores while weaving together elements of Afrobeat, desert and psychedelic influences into a personal and timeless musical language. Each composition manages to set a scene with each sound, each chord is a fragment of a world. Ultimately, their work is a dream-like journey between reality and imagination seamlessly blend. Atabaca's self-titled debut is slated for a March 27, 2026 release through Rome-based Killer Groove Records. "Kundela Mawedi," the album's second and latest single is an ethereal and slinky tune anchored around shimmering pedal steel, jazz-like four-on-the-floor and twinkling keys that evokes the sensation a psilocybin trip in a tropical paradise. The accompanying video for "Kundela Mawedi" follows the trio as each individual member skateboards, rollerblades and/or bikes their way through the Italian countryside while they goof off. The video captures the trio's easy-going, playful chemistry.

New Video: Joshua Idehen Shares Euphoric “This Is The Place” After nearly two decades in London's poetry scene, Joshua Idehen found widespread recognition with the viral success of "Mum Does The Washing," a poignant, witty pice set to music by his creative partner Ludvig Parment, a.k.a. Saturday, Monday. The success of "Mum Does The Washing" led to sold-out shows, major festival appearances -- including Glastonbury -- and a new chapter in Idehen's artistic life. Initially drawn to film, Idehen's poetic journey began after being captivated by Dizzee Rascal's Vexed on Channel U. Inspired by Scroobius Pip, he began poetry with music, collaborating with the likes of LV, Benin City and Sons of Kemet. His career as a singer/songwriter/performer alongside a series of personal channels, including a divorce and mental health struggles. Relocating to Stockholm during the COVID-19 pandemic gave him space to reflect and begin anew. That period of rebirth led to Idehen's highly-anticipated debut album, I Know You're Hurting, Everyone Is Hurting, Everyone Is Trying, You Have Got To Try. Slated for a March 6, 2026 release through Heavenly Recordings. Made with his longtime collaborator Parment, the album is a sonic embrace for the weary, mixing house-tinged beats, choral flourishes and lyrical meditations on hope, self-worth and collective resilience. The album will feature the previous released "It Always Was" and "Don't Let It Get You Down." I Know You're Hurting, Everyone Is Hurting, Everyone Is Trying, You Have Got To Try's third and latest latest single "This Is The Place" is a euphoric bit of Larry Levan-inspired house featuring glistening and woozy synth arpeggios and skittering beats serving as a lush bed for Idehen's poetic meditations on the club being much like a church with music and dancing as a form of connection with yourself and others and as a form of freedom from your daily struggles, from the harshness of our world, from your own self-doubt and the like. It's a much-needed joy bomb in a desperate, uneasy time -- and a reminder that joy is a form of resistance. "The way I squealed when Ludvig sent this beat over! When I heard it, I was taken back to bouncing in-between rooms early morning in Fabric, on one of those weekend nights that felt so non-special at the time 'just another average night out' but were a quiet healing, a ordinary burst of joy, and I wanted to capture that feeling," Idehen explains. "'This is the place where I pick all my pieces up; was the first line, and everything else flowed after that." Directed by PREHUMAN, the accompanying video is an elegant yet joyfully minimalist visual that begins with a person on the street style interview that quickly becomes a joyous dance session. PREHUMAN adds: "Joshua is an unusually compelling performer — put him in front of a camera and much of the work is already done. The video itself is deliberately stripped back, with no distractions. I wanted the feeling of a shared space, like a club: bodies moving together, connection through rhythm. The treatment is clean and minimal, but the movement is intentionally angular and imperfect. I love the line 'everyone's a bit broken here.' Those ’90s white cyc music videos with fisheye lenses were a strong reference point throughout. Ludvig on the old MPC3000 was the icing on the cake."

New Audio: Bronco Forte Shares Bruising “Obvious Alias” Los Angeles-based stoner rock outfit Bronco Forte -- Chris Klepac (vocals, guitar), All Hail the Yeti's Sako Inajaian (guitar), White Forest's Jen Glomboski (bass), and Batillus' and A Storm of Light's Geoff Summers (drums) -- will be releasing their full-length debut, Lightning Scars on April 3, 2026. After years of creative toil and preparation, the Los Angeles-based stoner rock quartet's full-length debut sees the band stepping into the spotlight as a fully-formed heavy rock phenomenon with roots in the classic heavy music of the 1970s --- but with a modern sensibility and sonic approach. Lightning Scars was tracked and mixed by engineer Kevin McCombs at The Steakhouse, the studio where Queens of The Stone Age recorded Era Vulgaris. The album was mastered by Nick Townsend, who cut the album to lacquer on his own personal lathe. Thematically, Lightning Scars chronicle the uncertain lives of ordinary people of California and elsewhere, with the characters each song depicts desperately striving to maintain their integrity and sanity in the face of a rapidly-changing, increasingly dystopian hellscape. And as a result, the album's lyrics balance literary style and kitchen-sink realism. The album's material is anchored around deep, dirty riffs, hard swinging grooves and song structures that are clever without being cluttered or overly complicated. And this is paired by a pop leaning sense of harmony. Lightning Scars' second and latest single "Obvious Alias," is anchored around the sort of bruising riffage that seemingly channels Queens of the Stone Age, Dirt-era Alice in Chains and Badmotorfinger-era Soundgarden while showcasing a band with an uncanny knack for pairing catchy, melodic-driven hooks, rousingly anthemic hooks and lived-in lyrics.

New Video: Tinlicker Shares Euphoric “Release” Acclaimed Utrecht-based electronic music outfit Tinlicker — founding member Micha Heyboer, Jordi van Achthoven and their newest member Hero Baldwin — can trace their origins back to 2012, when the project was founded as a solo project. As a solo project, Heyboer released Tinlicker’s debut EP, 2012’s My First Time Here and the 2012’s Remember The Future demo compilation through his own label, Zero Three Zero.  Jordi van Achthoven was introduced to Heyboer through a mutual contact in 2014. The pair bonded over their mutual inspirations of Paul Kalkbrenner, Trentemøller and Moderat, and at that point, Tinlicker expanded to a duo, releasing three EPs through Feed Me‘s Sotto Voce, 2014’s Like No Other, 2015’s Into The Open and The Space In Between, which featured “Oudegracht,” a track that amassed significant attention online.  2017 saw the duo releasing material through Anjunadep, Armada Music and deadmau5′s mau5trap before singing a record deal with Anjunadeep, who released their breakthrough full-length debut, 2019’s This Is Not Our Universe, which featured contributions from alt-J, Run Rivers, Thomas Oliver and Belle Doron. The album reached #1 on the dance charts in the US, Australia, India, Canada and Finland and #2 in the UK, The Netherlands and Poland.  The duo’s sophomore album In Another Life was released in February 2022. But by November 2023, the duo announced that the third album, 2024's Cold Enough for Snow would be released through [PIAS] Électronique. The album featured collaborations with Brian Molko, Editors‘ Tom Smith and Circa Waves. The Dutch duo supported the album with sets at Pinkpop Festival, CRSSD Festival, Crystal Palace Bowl, Coachella and Sziget Festival.  Back in 2020, as the Dutch duo were achieving commercial and critical success, they started a successful collaboration with London-based signer/songwriter and producer Hero Baldwin that has continued through a series of singles including last year's “I Started A Fire.” Last year, also saw Heyboer and Achthoven inviting Baldwin to be a full-time member of the group. “Jordi and Micha seem to pull something out of me that resonates with my emotional landscape every time we make a song,” the London-based singer/songwriter and producer says. “I think it’s so important to feel creatively and emotionally secure, and Jordi and Micha always afford me that privilege.” The act’s Melkweg Amsterdam show was their official debut as a trio. She also joined the duo for their biggest live show to date, Tinlicker In The Park at Crystal Palace Bowl.  Tinlicker’s highly-anticipated fourth album — and first as a trio — Dreams of the Machine is slated for a February 27, 2026 release through [PIAS] Électronique. Dreams of the Machine will feature the previously released singles “I Want My Freedom,” and "Reborn." The newly-constituted trio's third single "Release," is a lush, euphoria-inducing track anchored around melodic, rippling synth arpeggios, skittering, industrial-inspired breakbeats and reverb-soaked bass paired with Hero Baldwin's sultry, commanding delivery and the trio's unerring knack for crafting expansive, club and festival friendly tracks underpinned by a deep soulfulness. Lyrically, the addresses the modern obsession with our cell phones -- to the point that we're not fully present with ourselves, with others or within the moments we should be enjoying and cherishing. How many times have you attended some event and 98% of the people around you are fixating on their phone -- whether to text, instagram or to record every single moment? But the song also focuses on the potential conflict between human and the influence of AI-led algorithms. "At its heart, 'Release' is about how easily we slip out of the moment without noticing. The habit of checking, fixing and responding instantly on our phones and how that slowly takes over our attention to each other," the members of Tinlicker explain. "We're not anti-technology, perhaps just quietly aware of what disappears when distraction becomes automatic. ‘Release’ is about pausing and staying in the moment with the people around you." The accompanying video by Carl Frazer-Lunn begins in a bustling London with businesspeople, commuters, students and others busily fixating on their phones, completely unaware of their surroundings. The video then quickly turns to live footage of the trio performing at Crystal Palace in front of an enraptured crowd. It's proof that there are only a few truly transcendent moments in our morally bankrupt world: that moment when our favorite act plays our favorite song live -- or that moment when that act gets into an irresistible groove. Put that phone down and dance already.

New Audio: Crá Croí Returns with Brooding and Anthemic “Feeding The Fear” Deriving their name from the Gaelic word for “heartache,” “vexation of spirit,” County Cork-based duo Crá Croí — RG (songwriting, production, mixing and mastering) and CD (vocals and visuals) — have employed a fiercely DIY ethos while establishing a sound that meshes elements of 1980s New Wave, post-punk and goth, featuring melancholic synths, dark melodies, angular guitars and sharp, hook-driven vocals.  The Irish duo’s work explores themes of nihilism, love and destruction, dystopian collapsed and nuclear annihilation, often wrapped in irony and paired with post-apocalyptic metaphors.  The Cork-based duo’s self-produced, 12-song, full-length debut, Tá brón ormis slated for release during the second half of 2026. Deriving its title from the Irish phrase for “sadness” or “sorrow is on me,” the duo’s debut effort will feature the previously released “Radiation Romance,” and “Fires At Dawn,” as well as their third and latest single, "Feeding The Fear." Sonically seeming to channel a synthesis of Chain of Flowers and Interpol, "Feeding The Fear," showcases the Irish duo's knack for crafting broodingly cinematic, hook-driven material. The duo explain "Feeding The Fear" explores themes of fear, endurance and rising through uncertainty, which seems remarkably prescient and fitting for our current moment.

New Audio: Club 8 Shares Lush and Dreamy “Echoes Of Our Time” Since the release of 2024's A Year With Club 8, Stockholm-based JOVM mainstays Club 8 — Karolina Komstedt (vocals) and electronic music producer, artist and Labrador Records founder and label boss Johan Angergård — the duo spent last year releasing a single a month over the course of last year, including tunes like “ooo,” “None Of This Will Matter When You’re Dead,” “Staying Alive,” “Born The Wrong Time,” “Sneaky Feelings” and "Daydreams."  The duo begin 2026 with "Echoes Of Our Time," a nostalgia-inducing bop that channels classic New Order and shimmering, 80s pop while showcasing the duo's unerring knack for catchy hooks and rousingly anthemic choruses. The song touches upon some familiar and deeply universal themes -- the heartache, despair and longing for a loved one, who you're no longer involved with, the dreaminess of northern hemisphere winter and the longing to spend a wintry day in bed not doing much.

New Video: Bibi Club Shares Dreamy “Washing Machine” Deriving their name from their living room discotheque, where their "bibis" -- or loved ones -- come to dance, the Montréal-based duo Bibi Club -- Adèle Trottier-Rivard (vocals, keys) and Nicolas Basque (guitar) -- earned acclaim across both Québec and Europe with their debut album, 2022's Le soleil et la mer, an album that won a Most Promising Award at that year's GAMIQ Awards, a Discovery of the Year at that year's ADISQ Awards and landed on the Polaris Music Prize long list. Le soleil et la mer received praise by a number of French outfits including Les Inrocks, Magic Magazine, Libération and France Inter and landed on Le Devoir, Les Inrocks' and Tsugi's Best Albums of 2022 lists. And adding to a rapidly growing international profile, the album received airplay from BBC 6 Music's Steve Lamacq. Their sophomore album, 2024's Feu de garde saw the band expanding upon their sound with darker textures and luminous synths. The album earned several nominations at that year's ADISQ Awards and landed on the Polaris Music Prize short ling. The album was FNAC's album of the month for May and received praise from MOJO, Télérama, Record Collector, Uncut and many more. Building upon a growing profile, the Montréal-based duo have begun making a run of the international festival circuit with sets at SXSW, The Great Escape, FOCUS Wales, MaMA Festival, Osheaga, The New Colossus Festival, as well as clubs in Brazil, Germany and Canada. They've also opened for Blonde Redhead, Circuit des Yuex and a list of others. Bibi Club's highly-anticipated third album Amaro is slated for a February 27, 2026 release through Secret City Records. The album sees the acclaimed French Canadian duo inviting the listener to brave the dark beasts that shadow us beneath the surface, and to devote ourselves to the healing power of a fierce will to live. It explores the liminal spectrum between the here and beyond, pointing to love, nature and community as the deeply unifying purpose. The album's material reportedly draw a detailed map of a world completely of its own, following the trajectory traced by the pair in recent years. Now, out of the living room, we dance in a mental space overloaded with grief and fear in their most rawest forms. Following the death of two dear, loved ones in the last year, the mantra "I want to love, I want to live," resonates intensely in each song's melody, underlined by the belief that if the heart is a place that never dies, we must reach it as quickly as possible. Inspired by their tours with Blonde Redhead and Circuit des Yeux and a collaboration with Calvin Johnson, the duo's sound now incorporates elements of avant pop, electronic body music, dark wave and neo-folk while simultaneously borrowing from baroque sounds with harpsichord, trumpet and ritual chants. The album also features contributions from saxophonist Dimitri Milbrun and singer/songwriter Helena Deland, who help contribute to its overall sound. "Washing Machine," Amaro's second and latest single, as well as the album's first English language single is a breakneck churn of a song that's one-part shoegaze, one-part dream pop, one-part post punk that evokes a complicated yet lived-in mix of joy and sorrow that often coexists throughout our lives -- if we pay attention. The duo say of the album's new single: “The anomaly. This song is a homage to Tobie, who loved washing machines, the way they rush in and spin in every direction. It’s also a reflection on our experience as parents and the visceral bonds that connect us to our children. The song is full of light and life despite its underlying grief, the guitars dance together, the keyboard pulses with life, it's energetic, even danceable. It evokes the short passage on Earth of a child who left a vivid, powerful mark on everyone who loved him.”  Directed by Anna Arrobas and featuring sculptures by Anna Arrobas and Marin McMillan, the accompanying video for "Washing Machine" features various sculpted pieces meant to look like ancient symbols. "For 'Washing Machine,' I wanted to explore symbols of life, death and reincarnation," Arrobas explains. "Marin and I sculpted them to look like ancient relics and I filmed them in flickering light in front of a black backdrop to make them look suspended and floating."

New Audio: Silverdeer Shares Lush and Yearning “Open Mouth” Los Angeles-based duo Silverdeer -- longtime friends Halsey Bousquet (vocals) and Nika Fazeli -- have been centered by a long-held warm, flirty and playful kinetic energy that they first established with their first project saturn 17. Formed back in 2019, saturn 17 quickly gained attention with their breakout single "could this be love," which amassed over 10 million streams. But by 2024, the duo found themselves facing unexacting challenges. Bouts of writer's block and an overwhelming urge to explore new sounds and genres led to a creative hiatus. Both Fazeli and Bosquet recognized that they were undergoing a personal and artistic metamorphosis that ultimately required a new name for their project that matched it. Over the past couple of years as Silverdeer, the duo have established a sound that melds the spirit of 90s alternative rock with lush, dream pop textures. The duo's latest effort, the Casey Lagos-produced House of Devotion is slated for a March 20, 2026 release. The forthcoming EP will feature the previously released "Montauk" and "Drift." "Meeting Casey was like finding the missing puzzle piece," the Los Angeles duo say. "We had been trying for so long to explain our vision to people, and it was so refreshing to find someone who immediately understood it and had the tools and the creativity to push us where we wanted to go. He is such a supportive and sweet person too, we feel so safe being vulnerable and creative with him.”  “House of Devotion is inspired by the beach house in Eternal Sunshine — a place meant to feel safe and intimate, but one that starts collapsing the moment you step inside,” the duo explain. “It’s built from memories, desire, and the fragile structures two people create together, and it begins to fall apart under the emotional weight of devotion.” And fittingly, the EP's material explores themes of love, connection, nostalgia and longing. “House of Devotion invites you to reflect on connection — how we relate to people who have entered and exited our lives.” The EP's third and latest single, "Open Mouth" is a dreamy mix of dream pop, shoegaze and trip hop, anchored around the duo's penchant for remarkably catchy, razor sharp hooks -- and a palpable sense of yearning and barely controlled desire that feels youthful and explosive. “‘Open Mouth’ is our most addicting song on the EP,” the duo shares. “It exists as a celebration of sexuality, a snapshot of desire and almost-caught moments.”
