Witch Post are magically split down the middle. The duo — Dylan Fraser and Alaska Reid — sing together in every song, latticing their contrasting vocals to create rough yet engaging texture. They also bring their own spirit to the project: Fraser, who hails from Scotland, carves a ramshackle rock energy to each track, letting the songs build out into needling guitar solos, booming drums, and a cracking voice on the verge of a breakdown. Reid, on the other hand, flickers with alt country flair, bringing the sparse, cold atmosphere of her home state of Montana to the recording studio. Together, they pieced together Butterfly, their sophomore EP that’s a satisfactory blend of momentous alt rock and meditative gothic folk.
The Butterfly EP is both solid and pretty, even…

Just weeks before unveiling their highly anticipated third studio album, Getting Killed, New York City’s Geese take the stage at The Blue Room at Third Man Records in Nashville to debut the record in full. Recorded live, direct-to-acetate, the performance captures the band’s raw intensity and the electricity of a sold-out crowd hanging on every note, bottling the urgency and excitement surrounding one of the most talked-about bands of the moment.
What makes Geese compelling live is their ability to simultaneously feel tight and sprawling. Songs move with the precision of a disciplined ensemble, yet there’s always room for chaos and spontaneity—moments that suggest the band is discovering themselves as much as the audience is discovering them. It’s a paradoxical energy…
The album features the film’s original songs by the post-punk band Idles, as well as the movie’s original score composed by Rob Simonsen (Deadpool & Wolverine, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, The Way Back, It Ends with Us, The Age of Adaline, (500) Days of Summer, Nerve, Foxcatcher) and performed by Idles. The soundtrack will released digitally by Pertoza/Partisan Records. As previously reported, a first song (Rabbit Run) has already been released as a digital single last month.
Aronofsky enlisted Idles to capture the energy of the 1990s New York punk scene that colors Caught Stealing. “I built Caught Stealing to be a roller coaster of fun and wanted to supercharge the film by main lining a punk sensibility,” the director said in a press statement.
‘Another Picture’ is the deluxe edition of Blondshell’s acclaimed 2025 album. More than your typical deluxe release, ‘Another Picture’ features a new song plus covers by Conor Oberst, Folk Bitch Trio and more. – an expanded, reimagined look at a record that’s already become essential.
For her second album as Blondshell, L.A. singer-songwriter Sabrina Teitelbaum is figuring out how much of her life story she wants to tell the world — how much she needs to tell — and how much to hide away for herself. On her acclaimed 2023 self-titled debut, she was really letting it all hang out, in searing confessional indie-rock.
But on If You Asked for a Picture, Teitelbaum’s more ambivalent, more questioning, reckoning with her painful past, from childhood…
Will Westerman thinks he spent too much time on An Inbuilt Fault. He’s still proud of it, but the British musician, who records under his surname, wanted to do something differently this time around. “Nothing is ever really finished if it’s a new idea,” he says. “It’s just an arbitrary line in the sand because there’s no template to judge it being finished, other than your own exhaustion.” He spent a long time tinkering with his sophomore album, which was released in 2023, so he decided on another course of action for its follow-up: capture something made in a short timeframe.
Maybe that’s why A Jackal’s Wedding, by contrast, sounds so much looser, not in the sense that it feels unfinished; rather, it’s far more spacious than its two predecessors.
“I don’t wanna go where I can’t feel a thing,” pines Just Mustard frontwoman Katie Ball on ‘Dreamer’, the intricate and skittering track at the heart of the forever-rising Irish indie kids’ third album. “I just wanna make it feel good.”
From their shoegaze-leaning lowkey 2018 debut ‘Wednesday’ to the more industrial yet kaleidoscopic breakthrough-threatening 2022 follow-up ‘Heart Under’, the Dundalk five-piece have traded in a genre haze that lands somewhere around ‘noise rock’ but always dabbles in darkness. This time, they’re looking for something more.
Always a gut-punch hidden in an enigma, they’ve found fans in and support slots with their globe-conquering countrymen Fontaines D.C. and gothfathers themselves The Cure…
