St. Vincent was at Paris Fashion Week on Monday to provide a live soundtrack for Gabriela Hearst's spring 2027 collection, which was inspired by Afghan women’s textile traditions. Annie Clark's stripped down four-song set in the courtyard of the Petit Palais included three of her own tunes — it was bracketed by _MASSEDUCTION_ singles "New York" and "Los Ageless" and featured "Violent Times" from 2024's _All Born Screaming_ — but most notably, she covered the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

It's been years since we've checked in with Scottish composer and electronic musician Anna Meredith. In recent years she's released all kinds of projects including the bumper car sound installation _Bumps Per Minute: 18 Studies For Dodgems_ , a collaboration with the string quartet Ligeti Quartet called _Nuc_ , and soundtracks for the movies _The End We Start From_ and _Thursday_. More recently, she scored _Wicker_ , a Sundance fantasy comedy starring Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård, set for release Oct. 23 in the United States.

FKA twigs settled her sexual battery lawsuit against ex-boyfriend Shia LaBeouf last year, then filed another lawsuit this year regarding a non-disclosure agreement in the original settlement. The suit seeking release from the NDA was sparked by an arbitration demand from LaBeouf's legal team after twigs (real name Tahliah Barnett) told an interviewer she didn't feel safe during her relationship with LaBeouf.

Freddie Jackson, the R&B singer who made a long string of smooth romantic hits from the mid-'80s to the early '90s, has passed away. In a social media statement posted this afternoon, Jackson's family shared the news that he "went home to rest last night." No cause of death has been revealed. Jackson was 69. The post Freddie Jackson Dead At 69 appeared first on Stereogum.

As far back as he can remember, Justin Timberlake always wanted to be a human beatbox. Even in his *NSYNC days, Timberlake would take every available opportunity to go dorm-room Rahzel on the world. Maybe he was doing it even _before_ then. Maybe he was getting spit all over his hands on _The Mickey Mouse Club_. I'm not a deep enough Timberlake scholar to know the extent of it. But by the time he reached international fame, Timberlake would think nothing of giving himself a _pshh-ficky-hugga-hugga_ showcase for entire minutes at a time, as he did during *NSYNC's HBO special in 2000. The post Justin Timberlake Apologizes For Past Beatboxing appeared first on Stereogum.

The Portland-based singer-songwriter and composer Gabriel Kahane already graced us with one ambitious album this year: _Elevator Songs_ , a theatrical, high-concept collaboration with the vocal group Roomful Of Teeth.

Last weekend, former Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello held his star-studded one-day Power To The People festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. The whole event was framed as a left-wing political gathering, and Morello joined Bruce Springsteen for a set of protest songs. Before the show, Morello did a _Rolling Stone_ interview, and he went viral for saying that he "certainly did not" vote for Kamala Harris. The post Tom Morello Clarifies He Does Vote, Just Not For “Corporate Democrats” appeared first on Stereogum.

We last heard from Joe Stevens' oft-morphing musical project Peel Dream Magazine about a year ago with the release of the mini-album _Taurus_. Today he's announced an expanded edition, which I guess brings it to regular album size. This will mark the first time _Taurus_ is released on vinyl. Along with the announcement comes "Blind Faith," a skittering electronic pop track that once again reframes my understanding of Peel Dream Magazine.

Phil Collins has been making the media rounds in the lead-up to his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame as a solo artist next month. (He's already in there as a member of Genesis.)

Hayley Williams has a habit of riling up the Republicans, like when she told Morgan Wallen to find her "at Whole Foods, bitch." She caught heat from the Department of Homeland Security after proclaiming "Fuck ICE" and "Free Palestine" at her show at Chula Vista, California on Saturday (Oct. 3), and she's responding by refusing to back down.

Last year, Queen discussed new music and a potential Sphere residency. The legendary band unearthed the previously unreleased Christmas song "Not For Sale (Polar Bear)" for the holidays, and now Roger Taylor released a new solo album called _Violence Insane In A Beautiful World_.

Chrissie Hynde is famously not easy to impress and has even been accused of being grumpy.

"I’m fine/ Actually, nevermind/ Rememberin’ why I was mad." That's how Lizzie Killian starts off "I Do," the new single from her Raleigh-based project Teens In Trouble. Relatable! Killian's music is somewhere between pop-funk and fuzzed-out garage rock, and "I Do" is a great example of what she does. The post Teens In Trouble – “I Do” appeared first on Stereogum.

Jennifer Finch, longtime bassist of the great veteran grunge-punk band L7, passed away in July at the age of 59, just a few days after she revealed her brain cancer diagnosis. Just a couple of months before Finch's death, L7 announced plans for their final tour. At Finch's request, the band is going ahead with that tour, which starts on Tuesday in San Diego. Today, L7 have shared a new song in advance of that tour kickoff. The post L7 – “Loma Linda” appeared first on Stereogum.

Giant Drag's Annie Hardy played a messed up joke. News of Hardy's death circulated the internet Sunday after an obituary graphic was posted on her Instagram, Facebook, and Threads accounts. It featured the words "RIP Annie Hardy" and "June 5, 1981 - Oct 3, 2026" above a photo that musician Joel Jerome wrote in the Instagram comments that he took her of playing his drums.

The prolific memory-exploring dreamweaver DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ probably doesn't use too much vinyl, so Andrew Garfield might have some feelings about her decision to use the term "DJ" twice in her name. But there's nobody else who conjures so much feeling out of recombining obscure records and familiar aesthetics. She can and should call herself whatever she wants.

I've been waiting nearly half a decade for this day. Knifeplay, the dreamy, dreary, deeply dramatic Philadelphia Band To Watch, released their breakthrough sophomore album _Animal Drowning_ way back in 2022. Since then, the TJ Strohmer-led combo has toured intermittently, updated their ephemeral Christmas EP annually, and released the stunning _Live In Seattle_ , a six-song collection featuring several unreleased epics begging for a studio treatment. Now those songs are indeed part of a new Knifeplay LP. The post Knifeplay Announce New Album <em>What Is Truth?</em>: Hear “Love Song” appeared first on Stereogum.

The entire reason to go on _SubwayTakes_ , Kareem Rahma extremely viral internet series, is to fire off some possibly uninformed opinions that will annoy people who are scrolling on their phones. That's what movie star Andrew Garfield did when he appeared last week on _SubwayTakes Uncut_ , the longer iteration of _SubwayTakes_. Garfield prepared eight different takes for his appearance, and his first was one that he described as "soft." That take: "You can't legitimately call yourself a DJ unless you use physical records."

You may have heard that Ed Sheeran recently lost all his opening acts. After Macklemore ruffled feathers by using his platform as Sheeran's opening act to advocate for a free Palestine, Sheeran capitulated to his friend Robert Kraft and other stadium owners by kicking Macklemore off his tour, then shared self-pitying statements online and onstage. All of the rest of Sheeran's support acts dropped off the tour in solidarity, as did Sheeran's backing band. At his first show back, Sheeran performed without an opening act, but he's since found at least one performer willing to share a stage with him.

Jason Isbell was 22 years old when he joined the Drive-By Truckers in 2001. Over the next few years, he did some great work with that band, writing and singing lead on some of the best songs from their classic 2003 album _Decoration Day_. Isbell left the band to go solo in 2007, and after struggling for a while, he found his way to roots-rock stardom. This past Saturday, Isbell rejoined the Drive-By Truckers for an entire set — his first with the band in 19 years.

On Saturday, the Chicago cult rap star Lucki reportedly got hurt in a brawl outside the Los Angeles version of ComplexCon. TMZ reports that 30-year-old Lucki, whose government name is Lucki Camel Jr., was posing for photos with fans outside the Los Angeles Convention Center on Saturday afternoon when a fight broke out. The LAPD tells TMZ that four people were stabbed in the fight, three of whom are in stable condition and one of whom transported themselves to a hospital. In videos from the incident, Lucki, holding a towel to his bloodied neck, gets put into a waiting car, then moved to the backseat, looking shocked and angry.

Don Caballero are back. Earlier today, the Pittsburgh instrumental band that co-pioneered and later perfected math rock during their original ’91-2000 run, answered fans’ longstanding prayers by announcing an upcoming reunion of their Y2K-era lineup. A couple weeks ago, as the members geared up for a busy 2027, including a stop at Primavera Sound, they sat around bassist Eric Emm’s home in a pastoral Connecticut suburb, swapping quarter-century-old tour stories.

Barcelona's Primavera Sound Festival, generally known as the most consistent large-scale music festival on the planet, has unveiled the lineup for its 2027 edition. Next year's festival goes down June 3-5 at Parc del Fòrum, and the top three headliners listed on this year's poster are Doechii, Phoebe Bridgers, and Fontaines D.C. — three names that seem considerably lighter than what Primavera has booked over the last few years.

Last month, Macklemore was kicked off Ed Sheeran's tour after Robert Kraft, the owner of Massachusetts' Gillette Stadium, was unhappy with the rapper's pro-Palestine activism during his performances. Sheeran has subsequently faced lots of backlash for his persistent refusal to take a stance on genocide, whereas Macklemore announced a Free Palestine Tou that sold out. On Friday (Oct. 2), country superstar Zach Bryan wore a Free Palestine shirt at his Gillette Stadium show. The shirt also showed the words “An Appeal To Heaven” and a pine tree, a Revolutionary War-era phrase and symbol.

I'm not sure how or why this happened, but the nation of France has developed its own take on oi, the chant-along street-punk style that once seemed definitively British. French bands like Syndrome 81, Prisonnier Du Temps, Oi Boys, and Rancoeur have developed an echo-drenched take on oi that combines the original music with goth and post-punk, creating a dank, mysterious, and incredibly cool sound. Its influence is spreading, as bands like Quebec's Béton Armé and Edmonton's Home Front seem to be drawing from some of the same same wells.

Up until this very afternoon, I'd never heard of Jules de Corte, a blind Dutch singer-songwriter who won some European prizes in the '60s and who died in 1996 at the age of 71. I'd also never heard of the improvisational Belgian quartet Linus. I had, however, heard of beloved roots-music weirdo Bonnie "Prince" Billy, so the news that he's making a Jules de Corte tribute album with Linus demanded further investigation.

Six-string master Shane Parish has been in these (web)pages a fair amount in recent years, both for acoustic ventures like translating Autechre and Aphex Twin songs to guitar and electric pursuits like the Bill Orcutt Guitar Quartet.

As a result, there's a new surprise Shane Parish album out today. The post Shane Parish Surprise Releases New Album <em>Dental Work</em> To Pay For His Dental Work appeared first on Stereogum.

Back in July, the massively popular K-pop boy band BTS announced that they are boycotting next year's Grammys and refusing to submit any of their music for award consideration. This was a big pivot for the group, who performed on multiple Grammy telecasts and frequently talked about how badly they wanted to win one. (They've been nominated for five awards, but they've never won.) Now, Stray Kids, the _second_ -biggest K-pop boy band, are following BTS' lead, evidently declining to submit any new music for Grammy consideration.

Springfield, Illinois' Prevention have been cranking out righteous, passionate straight-edge hardcore since 2019.

Imagine finding out, deep into middle age, that you're the son of the honey-gargling king of yacht rock. Michael Goessling, a St. Louis resident, recently had just such an experience when he found out that he's Michael McDonald's son. For his whole life, Goessling knew that he was adopted. His parents conceived him when both of them were 14 years old, and he was put up for adoption as an infant. But Goessling didn't learn until much later that one of his parents grew up to become Michael McDonald. The post St. Louis Man Discovers His Father Is Michael McDonald appeared first on Stereogum.

Peter Gabriel kicked off the year with the announcement of his new album _o\i_. However, this wasn't a normal album cycle; the legendary singer-songwriter has been releasing a single for every full moon. Each track has two mixes — a Bright-Side mixed by Mark 'Spike' Stent and the Dark-Side mix by Tchad Blake — alongside a chosen piece of visual art. We've heard ten tracks so far: "Been Undone," "Put The Bucket Down," "What Lies Ahead," "Till Your Mind Is Shining," "Won't Stand Down," "A Hard Lesson," "I Belong To The Sky," "One By One," "Looking For The Happy," and "Face The Wall."
