Car Seat Headrest // Gethsemane
Car Seat Headrest are steadily approaching hero status in the modern indie landscape. The announcement of new album The Scholars arrives alongside the gargantuan ‘Gethsemane’.
Paris Texas // mudbone
Dropping not one but two EPs already this year, ‘mudbone’ – and the rest of They Left Me With A Gun EP, for that matter – showcases the mercurial Paris Texas at the top of their game. Check out sibling EP They Left Me With the Sword too, while you’re at it.
Billy Nomates // The Test
Driving bassline tessellating with fragile keyboard chords: ‘The Test’ is everything that you need from a Billy Nomates cut. New album Metalhorse arrives in May following Billy’s headline performance at this year’s Ritual Union festival.
1-800 GIRLS // there 4 u
1-800 GIRLS has a way of fusing electronic beats and poignant melodies that no other producer comes close to right now. ‘there 4 u’ is no exception and 2025 could be a very big year for Jake Stewart.
The Orchestra (For Now) // The Strip
Messy punk sensibilities and freewheeling improv come together marvellously for The Orchestra (For Now)’s third single, ‘The Strip’. Check them out at London’s ICA on April 10.
shower curtain // starpower (Computerwife remix)
‘starpower’, lifted from shower curtain’s debut album words from a wishing well, has seen a mesmerising makeover courtesy of NYC compatriot Computerwife. Released via the ever-reliable Fire Talk Records, words from a wishing well brightened up a gloomy end of 2024.
