FM PREMIERECybèle returns with Lovergirl, released via Siren Studios, folding contemporary R&B and dream-pop into a tighter study of self-worth, softness, and emotional boundary-setting. Created with Grammy-winning songwriter Tristan Rice, the track pairs lush harmonies, atmospheric texture, and elegant production with Cybèle’s expressive vocal control.French-American composer, producer, and multidisciplinary artist Cybèle explains:‘Lovergirl‘ is about the journey of pain, beauty, and self-acceptance that comes with learning that love and discernment don’t always live in the same place. As women who love deeply, we have to learn to match our capacity for giving with our ability to recognise who is truly capable…

HoodTrophy Bino continues to build momentum with the release of his latest single, “Fell 4 It,” featuring Detroit heavyweight Baby Money.

The remarkable debut of a 21st-century crooner.Where do crooners come from? Surely this thought must have kept you awake in the late hours, when time stands still and there’s nothing to do but face the big questions in life. If we were to make a case study of Andrew Sa, nothing would seem strange about a childhood riding around in a Ford F150 for his mother’s travelling karaoke business. It would also only be natural for names like Roy Orbison or Patsy Cline to emerge as inspirational figures for the young crooner-to-be. But of course, regardless of origin stories, the…
Putting some meat on the bones of last week’s passing reference to a new album when announcing their upcoming live dates, we can now reveal that the new album by The Jayhawks is called Sanctuary Park and it’s due to be released on the 28th of August, with the lead single Keeping Our Heads Above Water being released today. While the album title references an actual location in Dundas, Ontario, Sanctuary Park in the band’s vision is also being used as a fictional place where distant memories re-emerge, childhood friends from years prior start speaking again, and teenage lovers start…
© Adam WilliamsDownload Festival – Sunday (also see Friday and Saturday)Donington Park, Derbyshire14th June 2026By Sunday morning, Download Festival has become a test of character. Rather more specifically, a test of how many questionable decisions made last night could be overcome with coffee and stubbornness.Whatever optimism exists when my alarm goes off quickly disappears. Cameras stay in the bag. The campsite looks brighter than any human being should reasonably be expected to tolerate. Bands are playing somewhere. I assume they are probably very good. Eventually, however, duty calls.And so my final day at Download Festival begins not with an early…
“It’s very hard to make money off it, so might as well have fun, you know.” Right at the end of our chat,Shooting Daggersvocalist/bassistBea Simiondrops that line, and it basically sums up everything: the band, the new recordThe Real Life Thing, the punk ethics, the wrestling, all of it. This is a band living in the space between brutal graft and pure joy, and refusing to give up. We talk about their new release, working with Dennis Lyxzén from Refused, and why women’s wrestling is basically the best thing on TV right now, in WWE, AEW and beyond. “Now It…
We have been big fans of Nate Amos around these parts for some time now and what a few years he’s had. Between delivering breakout records both as a solo artist — under his This Is Lorelei moniker (which we have finally learnt how to spell which is progress) — and with his band Water From Your Eyes, sold out shows across multiple continents, to seeing artists such as Jeff Tweedy, Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman cover his songs, Amos has clearly found his stride, and he’s announcing today details of his next record which arrives on September 11th. As the…
The real showstoppers come slightly later. The emotion at the cracked heart of Love Me is so simple it’s almost primal, but it doesn’t diminish the anguish. ‘My body is all that I’m worth… why doesn’t anyone love me? / I just need someone to want me.’ Meanwhile, the title-track is a howled prayer of a song with a stunning vocal performance from Taylor that travels bloodstream-deep, but it’s the smouldering Dragonfire that’s an unexpected stroke of brilliance, its rhythmic, shifting acoustic guitar chords adding a genuine freshness. Somewhere, the light gets switched back on. About You brings an injection…
From an Instagram advert to a packed room at Gorilla, Lauren Klair explores how Culture Wars are using visual storytelling, authentic audience connection and great songs to build far more than a fanbase. There is a particular kind of comfort in discovering music that feels both familiar and entirely new. Originating from Austin, Texas, ‘cinematic alt rock’ band, Culture Wars, occupies that space effortlessly, blending contemporary alternative rock with the emotional immediacy that defined so much of the music many Millennials and Xennials grew up on. It’s what I can only describe as modern nostalgia, not a longing for a…
After rescuing six classic Can performances from the vault earlier this decade, the legendary krautrock band’s last surviving member Irmin Schmidt told Uncut: “I think it’s enough.” Thankfully Schmidt has changed his mind, because you can never get enough Can. Today, Mute and Future Days have announced a new addition to the series, set for release on September 25: Can Live In Arles 1975. Originating from a fan recording, the concert features the core line-up of Irmin Schmidt, Jaki Liebezeit, Michael Karoli and Holger Czukay, captured in their prime on a hot August night at the Théâtre Antique d’Arles. “I…
Juggling subscription services isn’t the most enviable of household tasks. It’s necessary one, though, when streaming libraries grow stale, or when prices rise a little too high for your liking. Then there’s the matter of picking the alternative – a matter that Amazon may have just made a little easier via a very tantalising Prime Day discount – on both sides of the Atlantic.That’s right, one of the best TV and film streaming services going is getting the Prime Day treatment. Paramount+ is one of the odder streaming platforms, being that it conglomerates the likes of MTV, Showtime and Comedy…
Today, Lisbon’s party-startersMAQUINA.have shared another new single from theirforthcoming album‘BODY TRANSMISSION’, due outJuly 10th via Fuzz Club. The single comes as the band confirm plans to bring their electrifying live showback to the UK later this summer,following buzzy shows at The Great Escape and across the country in the Spring. MAQUINA.embody all the sweaty togetherness and euphoria a collective music experience has to offer. The Lisbon trio have been getting punks to dance and club kids to pogo –“making the bubbles connect a little bit”– with such fervour they routinely pack out venues and inspire multiple waves of crowdsurfing at…
