First single from the next War On Drugs album has dropped and it is smoooooooooth.

this is excellent. my son says it's like a mix from the last three albums. yes please.

Your son knows his shit.

I wonder if "wake in fright" from Chat Pile's "Intruder" is a reference to the Australian horror film; it would make total sense considering their grimey aesthetic similarity

Probably. They opened all of their shows here in Australia (maybe everywhere?) with the vocalist asking the crowd about films made in that city with a bias towards the horror genre.

New album from Liars announced, new single is interesting. Sonically it is pretty striking.

OK, I'm now totally onboard with these two 2026 records from Twisted Teens. And they have a third on the way!

Highly recommended lofi and unvarnished rock and roll.

Late getting to Kevin Morby's latest but a few songs in and this is really sitting well.

Snuck in Brian Fallon’s new album today. Sounds like he’s still trying to somehow recreate the early Gaslight Anthem years but most of the songs mostly sound the same…until the end where Walkin’ Through the Garden and Wolf by the River both sound different and great! Just a shame it took him 4/5th of the album to get there.

That new War On Drugs song is the tits

It sure is. That band just doesn't miss.

It sure is. That band just doesn't miss.

Speaking of: I know that they’re readying the next album, but do we know for a fact that the new single is from that upcoming album or just a one-off?

My bet is that they include it on the album - it's too strong not to.
