Who doesn’t wanna dance with Charli Xcx? The U.K. star has been pop’s party girl since her debut, writing high-octane hits for other artists, like Icona Pop’s “I Love It” and Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy,” while saving her most extreme and wildest avant-garde impulses for her own excellent LPs, most recently 2022’s Crash. On her sixth album, Brat, she stays out later and goes harder than ever before. And while she’s spinning around on the dance floor she’s also spiraling out in her head,...

Tnght member Lunice has announced his sophomore album, Open, out June 23rd via LuckyMe. As a preview, the Montreal producer has shared the first single, “No Commas,” and its accompanying video.
Open is the follow-up to his 2017 solo debut, Ccclx, and each song on the album was created with the thought of how it would translate to live performances in mind. Collaborators include rappers and producers like Cali Cartier, Zach Zoya, Yuki Dreams Again, DAGr, Jay Centrury, Stargate, and Drtwrk.
Already a staple of Lunice’s live sets, “No Commas” is a slice of twisted, club-ready hip-hop, as Cali Cartier whisper-raps over thumping production punctuated by xylophone. In a statement, Lunice explained the process of making the song.
“This track is the result of multiple natural occurrences where the melody, drums, and vocal performance coincidentally fit with each other in the moment of creation without any prior motive behind it,...

Ten years ago, Scottish producer and DJ Hudson Mohawke was a major influence in “wonky” electronic music, a subgenre full of disjointed and unexpected beats. But he couldn’t have known, when he released his 2011 album Satin Panthers, that he’d one day wield far greater influence over a young man’s love life.
“My girlfriend of two years told me the music that I play during sex is weird and a major turn off,” redditor u/TylerLife wrote last week on the “Today I Fucked Up” subreddit. He’d...

On “Free Ride,” the first single from Mykki Blanco’s new mini-lp Broken Hearts & Beauty Sleep, the musician constructs a tabernacle from which to worship the sensation of love. The accompanying video features Blanco refiguring tropes of family, community, and celebration to more inclusive ends. What might read as dysfunctional — multiple generations dwelling in a rickety Rv — is recast with gentle reverence. Blanco’s gift has always been the queering of perspective, refusing to stay fixed in any particular mode. Broken Hearts & Beauty Sleep brings that framework to notions of love and loss.

Tnght, the electronic duo of Hudson Mohawke and Lunice, has returned from a six-year hiatus with “Serpent,” a frenetic and feverish new song and video.
The track is built on wild vocal samples, including a series of groans and a pitch-shifted yelp that functions as the primary hook. Around those exclamations, the producers layer skeletal mallet percussion, glitchy static, pounding drums and festival-friendly eruptions of dirty bass.
Tnight paired “Serpent” with a bizarre video featuring crescent moons, rocky landscapes, strobe lights and two computer-animated faces with bulging eyes and snaking tongues.

Since her gothy 2014 single “Beggin’ For Thread” (“to sew this hole up that you ripped in my head”), Jillian Banks has stepped with a vanguard steering pop from butterflies and rainbows towards darker, weirder places. She doubles down on III, suggesting Billie Eilish’s graver older sis with a timely set full of menacing sub-bass distortion, suspended silences, grimey organ tones and digitally-abraded vocals. It’s a snow-globe of tainted love that makes the apocalyptic outside world seems near- manageable by comparison, a public service for that alone.

“The only system is a sound system and if I can’t dance to it, it’s not my revolution,” preaches one of the lead characters in Beats, the UK rave culture film executive-produced by Steven Soderbergh. Here is some first footage, which channels iconic movies such as Trainspotting and La Haine.

Dawn celebrates sexuality on her atmospheric new song “Sauce.” Cole M.G.N. (Christine & the Queens, Ariel Pink) and Hudson Mohawke (Kanye West, Drake) co-produced the single, which highlights the electronic R&B singer’s upcoming fifth LP, new breed, out January 25th.
“I’ve been a good girl all week, so I can dirty them sheets from Friday to Sunday,” Dawn croons on the track over a reverb-swathed guitar line, snaking trap beat, warbling synths and faded soul singer samples. “It’s the weekend, and I’m ready for...

Twin Peaks Recap is a weekly column by Keith Uhlich covering David Lynch and Mark Frost's limited, 18-episode continuation of the Twin Peaks television series.There's a brief, very beautiful moment in Part 7 of the new Twin Peaks, during the scene in which hotelier Benjamin Horne (Richard Beymer) and his secretary Beverly Paige (Ashley Judd) are investigating a strange sound emanating from the walls of the Great Northern. Ben points in the direction that he thinks the soft, soothing tone is coming from, and for a second he seems to be pointing right at the camera—past it, really…toward our world, at those of us on the other side of the fiction/fact divide. A blink-and-you'll-miss-it breach, but it lays some subtle groundwork for what follows: The aesthetically and thematically provocative Part 8 fitted the Twin Peaks mythos into our very real history of atomic destruction. And this week's...

This is where I'm supposed to summarize the past year, find some overaching theme or thread running through my choices, spot trends, or something along those lines. Instead it's just another mea culpa for my continuing and accelerating estrangement from mainstream pop music. Don't mind me, I'm just a grumpy old fart. But these twenty new albums made me less grumpy.
1. Diiv: Is the Is Are (Captured Tracks)
I enjoyed their first album, and far from a sophomore slump, their second is even better. Sure, I'm heavily predisposed to love bands that conjure a moody '80s vibe with thrumming bass, chiming guitar jangle, and submerged vocals, but this is greater than the sum of those parts, simultaneously updating the sound while tapping into a new level of melodicism for this band.
2. David Bowie: Black Star (Sony)
I wrote about this at length. What can I add now that...
