Sugar have shared a new 7″ single, “Long Live Love” b/w “”House Of Dead Memories”.
Bob Mould shared this about the song: “I wrote ‘Long Live Love’ in 2007 while living in Washington DC. It was the George W. Bush era, I was deep in my DJ world with Blowoff, yet still writing pop songs on guitars. Garbage 2.0 is one of my desert island albums, so it’s not surprising that ‘Long Live Love’ reminds me of a long lost Garbage song!”
The Sophs have shared the fourth single and title track for their debut album “GOLDSTAR” out March 13th via Rough Trade.
TRACKLIST:
1) THE DOG DIES IN THE END
2) GOLDSTAR

5) HOUSE
6) SWEETIEPIE
7) DEATH IN THE FAMILY
8) A SYMPATHETIC PERSON
9) They Told Me Jump, I Said How High
10) I’M YOUR FIEND
Ethan Ramos shared this about the song: “‘GOLDSTAR’ is the worst person you know yelling at God to give them a sign that they are good. In a deliberately unserious way, we want the song to prompt the same question that the album raises, which is, if you are a good person for the wrong reasons, does that detract from your goodness?”
Tanya Tagaq has shared the first single, “Foxtrot”, off her upcoming album “Saputjiji” out March 6th via Six Shooter.

Tanya Tagaq shared this about the release: “Designated protector. We must stand. We must protect her. The world is choking on the rancid smoke of capitalism. We must breathe. You are being feasted upon. Time to embrace carnivorous tendencies. Defend, protect, embrace.”
The Notwist have shared the second single, “How The Story Ends”, off their upcoming album “News From Planet Zombie” out March 13th via Morr Music.
The band shared this about the song: “We chose the cover of ‘How the story ends’ because we really love the song and the Lovers… it has a great energy, melody and lyrics and is really fun to play and sing,” they say. “When I first heard the demo-version, ‘Honea,’ on a Kill-Rockstars compilation, I played the song in an endless loop until I could sing along all the lyrics. And also as the other cover-version on the album is by Neil Young and has a more romantic view on relationships, we thought it is good to have this song as a sort of counterpart.”
Dälek have shared the first single, “Better Than”, off their upcoming album “Brilliance Of A Falling Moon” out March 27th via Ipecac.
TRACKLIST:
1. Better Than
2. Knowledge | Understanding | Wisdom
3. Normalized Tragedy
4. Expressions Of Love
5. Substance
6. I AM A MAN
7. For the People
8. By the Time We Arrive in El Salvador
MC Dälek shared this about the song and album: “‘Better Than’ encapsulates the new sound and feel of the record perfectly. It conveys the anger, frustration, and defiance of the moment. Sonically, it is somehow simultaneously, sparse and stripped down, yet complete and dense. A new wall of sound built only of the absolutely necessary elements. The whole project was very influenced by what’s happening in the world and this country. During the initial days of the I.C.E. raids, it got me thinking. You see those powerful photos from the sixties when Black men were marching with the ‘I AM A MAN’ sandwich board signs. It was powerful then; it’s powerful now.”
Sleaford Mods have shared their latest single. “Elitest G.O.A.T”, off their just released album “The Demise Of Planet X” via Rough Trade.
The video for the song was directed by John Minton, who shared this about it: “The video is a feeding frenzy of images. Vampires and sharks chomping through themes of infighting, herd mentality, privilege, fear and escapism. Get taken for a ride. Outright.”
Minton’s most recent film “GAME” starred Jason Williamson and was released via Invada Films.
Williamson shared this about the song: “When we did the bare bones of “Elitest G.O.A.T.” it unnerved me because it almost sounded like a small band because for the bassline we really took influence from progressive music like David Bowie’s “Low”. But Andrew always comes up with something really good and tasteful, and his beat ticking away pulls it back into Sleaford Mods. As I put the vocal on, I knew it was a goer. We’ve created something a bit different, and Aldous Harding really helped with that. She is brilliant on this track, and it is one of my favourites on the album. It’s such a good song.”
James Blake has shared the first single, “Death Of Love”, off his upcoming album “Trying Times” out March 13th.

I can’t wait for you the hear the new record, it’s incredibly special.”
The Album Leaf have shared a new single, “Fight Or Flight” featuring Aisha Badru.
Jimmy LaValle shared this about the song: “This song was actually created back in 2021. I had written the original track during the ‘Future Falling’ sessions, and during that long stretch of COVID isolation, I began exploring collaborations on songs that had space for a vocalist. Nettwerk connected me with Aisha Badru, who wrote and recorded her vocals remotely. She brought a deeply internal, unguarded emotional weight to the track, capturing the anxiety of that time, the sense of movement driven by restlessness rather than freedom, and the feeling of trying to outrun something that keeps circling back. Even though we weren’t in the same room, her voice sits at the heart of the song, carrying both tension and vulnerability. James McAlister also contributed percussion remotely, giving the track a subtle human pulse beneath the haze. The entire song came together from a distance, which somehow made it feel even more intimate—living in that space between urgency and stillness.”
Flea has shared the second single, “Traffic Lights”, off his upcoming album “Honora” which is out March 27th via Nonesuch.
TRACKLIST:
1. Golden Wingship
2. A Plea

5. Morning Cry
6. Maggot Brain

8. Thinkin Bout You
9. Willow Weep for Me
10. Free As I Want to Be
Flea said this about the album cover: ” This is the cover for my record “HONORA”, coming out at the end of March. The cover is a photograph of my beautiful mother-in-law, in Iran in the late 60’s, Shahin. Shahin is a strong Persian woman, and the spirit of a free Iran lives in her heart.
Flea shared this about the song: “Deantoni and I played what became ‘Traffic Lights’ the first day. Something about it reminded me of Atoms for Peace, so I sent it to Thom. Just knowing him, I thought it would be a rhythm and a sensibility that he would relate to. And I was right, he did. With a gorgeous melody and the words, you know, about living in the ‘upside down’ and how do you make sense of things when we’re getting all this fake shit and real shit? Everyone has their ways of dealing with the world. But he’s just the warmest, free flowing, jamming motherf*cker.”
