Remaining tethered to their psych roots, the four-piece also absorb the world-building electronics of Massive Attack and Underworld." -CLASH "Whereas 2014’s debut Sun Structures reveled in vintage psych-pop pastels, the band’s latest single “Jet Stream Heart” sounds far more contemporary in its pulsating neons and pounding electronic beat as James Bagshaw’s familiar vocals waft through the mix." -FLOOD "joy in a soulless world" -Vanyaland "And if ‘Jet Stream Heart’ is anything to go by, then ‘BLISS’ as a whole promises to be just as bold, merging Temples’ psych-rock roots with the “melancholic euphoria” of early ’00s dance greats like Faithless, Underworld, and Massive Attack." -DIY "The record ventures into electronic territory while staying true to the band’s core DNA, pairing euphoric and melancholic late-’90s dance melodies with psych-tinged riffs and looping textures." -JamBase "Re-shaping their perception, Kettering 4-piece Temples today serve up their brand new single ‘Vendetta’, taken from their forthcoming new studio album BLISS - out June 26th on V2 Records - and one that flies in new electronic directions, while staying true to their core DNA, making it their most adventurous and liberated record to date." -FrontView Magazine Last week, British indie-psych rockers and cult favorites Temples released their highly anticipated new LP, BLISS, with focus track, "Glimmer," via V2 Records. Expanding into new electronic territory while retaining the band's signature sound, BLISS stands as Temples' most adventurous and liberated record to date. The album has already garnered strong acclaim, with "Glimmer" landing in DORK Magazine's Tracks of the Week and earning playlist support from Spotify's All New Rock and Apple Music's New in Rock (worldwide). The release has also been backed by an interview with Rolling Stone Germany and reviews in VISIONS, InMusic, Classic Rock, and additional outlets. Commercially, BLISS debuted at #10 on the UK Record Store Chart, #27 on the Physical Albums Sales Chart, and #64 on the Scottish Albums Chart. Following singles “Jet Stream Heart,” “Vendetta,” and "Blue Flame," the group’s latest material has drawn comparisons to ’90s electronic pioneers Underworld and Massive Attack, signaling a darker, more expansive sonic direction. Uncut described the album as featuring “some of the Kettering band's most compelling and energetic music since their mid-2010s chart peak.”  The album marks an exciting new chapter following 2023’s Exotico, and sees the band - James Bagshaw (vocals/guitar), Thomas Walmsley (bass), Adam Smith (keys/guitar) & Rens Ottink (drums) - reimagine their psych-rock roots through the prism of late ’90s and early 2000s dance music, drawing on the euphoric melancholy of the Ibiza scene and European electronica while staying true to the band’s core DNA. Influenced by the emotional pull of artists like Faithless, Underworld, Massive Attack and Portishead, BLISS taps into what Temples describe as “melancholic euphoria” - simple structures giving rise to complex feeling.    While Exotico saw Temples collaborate with guest producer Sean Ono Lennon, BLISS was produced entirely by the band. Embracing a more instinctive and hands-on approach, the group worked together in the same room, leaning into improvisation and experimentation. Using samplers not to reshape other artists' material but to manipulate and reconstruct their own recordings, they developed a shared sonic language that gives the album its interconnected, collage-like feel. Across BLISS, tracks explore themes of disconnection, frustration, surrender and renewal. Tracks such as "Revelations" draw from the Gregorian chant that was commonly deployed in late ‘90s and early ‘00s European dance music with its own take, while the crunching stomp of "Megalith", confronts feelings of helplessness and stagnation. “It’s about finding your inner stillness, but then having found that stillness, maybe it’s not so pleasant,” says keyboardist & guitarist Adam Smith. “You can sometimes feel helpless and stuck when the world is moving around you, and you feel like a standing stone – like a megalith – and there’s nothing you can do about it.”  For Temples, BLISS is more than just a stylistic shift -  it’s a statement of intent. A record made without compromise, driven by instinct, chemistry and the joy of making music together again.     As the band put it, “it’s about permission: to let go, to move, and to become something unexpected." "Glimmer" and BLISS are out now via V2 Records.

Jennifer Finch, L7 Bassist  Diagnosed With Aggressive Brain Cancer Friends and Family Launch GoFundMe  to Help Cover Urgent Medical, Rehabilitation  and In-Home Care Expenses

Photo Credit: Jennifer Finch  L7 bassist, photographer and multidisciplinary artist Jennifer Finch has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. What initially appeared to be a condition that could be addressed through treatment and a full course of radiation has progressed rapidly. Unforeseen complications have required Jennifer to undergo multiple surgeries and have resulted in significant physical limitations. She now requires extensive ongoing medical care, rehabilitation and professional in-home assistance. Jennifer’s many friends, collaborators and family have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the substantial expenses associated with her treatment and recovery. **DONATE + SHARE: Jennifer Finch’s GoFundMe** Jennifer’s diagnosis also means that she will be unable to participate in the fall 2026 U.S. leg of L7’s previously announced Last Hurrah Tour. L7’s  final tour was planned with Jennifer when all four members were in good health and spirits. Although she will not be able to join the band for the upcoming U.S. dates, Jennifer has asked L7 to continue with the tour as planned, which the band has made the decision to do.  “We are all devastated by the news and are surrounding her with love, protecting her privacy and dignity, while helping raise the resources she urgently needs for the care ahead,”says bandmate Donita Sparks, “Jennifer is family, and we want her to feel the full strength of the community that has loved and supported her for so many years.” The band’s immediate priority is helping Jennifer’s GoFundMe reach as many fans, friends and members of the wider creative community as possible.

Ty Segall Releases New Single "Running to Nowhere"; South American Tour Announced

TY SEGALL & ASSOCIATES ON THE RUN TO NOWHERE

Photo by Denée Segall

LISTEN TO "RUNNING TO NOWHERE" Burnin' rubber and breaking the sound barrier, Ty and his band are blitzing through the end times in an armored vehicle of destruction: that is, Chrome, their new album done up DIRTY & due out August 28. Today, Ty & co. unleash a new single, "Running to Nowhere," with new tour stops in Argentina, Chile, and Brazil mapped out for 2026. Uncorking rock moods, shades and existential basement raves, "Running to Nowhere" is a combo of hammering, haunted fuzz verses with a light refrain of Blue Öyster Cult-era paranoia guitar & dreamy acoustic piano. A thirst for psychedelic mischief manifests in twists of claustrophobia-inducing dry vocal reverbs and textured guitar interplay throughout, head-twisting us in a magical other reality colored gunmetal grim. Here, “Now we’re nowhere!” is despair AND defiance! Chrome was a job for the full band: that's Ty, Ben Boye, Evan Burrows, Mikal Cronin, and Emmett Kelly. Sensing a cataclysmic sound on the songwriting horizon, Ty and the guys co-wrote half the songs together (Matt Yoka and Denée Segall wrote some parts, too), turning up the heat at every rehearsal for a solid month before hitting record. All mixed immediate and flexible, colorful and clean, spicy-sweet, with Ty’s vocals of vinegar and sand, wine and grains of silver nitrate, pointing the way. That’s Chrome. Get Chrome in your dome on August 28, 2026, with a limited new EP "Love Fuzzz" available the same day. Tickets for Ty Segall's 2026 tour dates are on sale now.

Marrow Deep cover art by Paul Romano @workhardened


Select press quotes for early single “Your Ghost Again”

“Mastodon at their best, hurtling through breakneck time signature changes with violent vivacity while exorcising heavy, cathartic emotions. Hinds isn’t physically on the track, but his memory is present and his spirit echoes through it.” - GUITAR WORLD

“It's a roiling, thundering song that moves between proggy contemplation and all-out attack mode, and it sounds like classic Mastodon.” - STEREOGUM

“The chorus certainly has shades of the melancholic melodies the band has experimented with on their recent albums, but the main riff and especially the outro on this single seems to indicate the band are evolving their beloved heavy songwriting.” - FORBES

“The veteran metallers' blend the ferocious sludge of their early years with the refined prog rock of the last decade, offering a fitting stylistic survey of their career on this rumination of loss, which seems to follow them everywhere.” - CONSEQUENCE


Mastodon have announced their long awaited new album, Marrow Deep is set for an August 28 release via Loma Vista Recordings. The news is paired with the release of blistering new single "Snakes For Dinner" featuring a guest vocal appearance by Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, who also appears in the accompanying music video - watch it here.

Five years on from the expansive Hushed and Grim, Marrow Deep documents founding members Brann Dailor, Troy Sanders, and Bill Kelliher emerging from years of personal upheaval with a renewed sense of purpose and reinvigorated drive. Inspired by the Three Fates of Greek mythology and the fragile threads connecting life, loss, and destiny, Marrow Deep channels the intense personal experiences of the intervening years into some of the most expansive, adventurous, and emotionally resonant music of the band’s storied career. The album marks the band's first full-length to feature guitarist Nick Johnston alongside significant contributions from keyboardist João Nogueira. Marrow Deep was co-produced by Mastodon at their own West End Sound in Atlanta with Patrik Berger (Lana Del Rey, Charli XCX) and Kurt Ballou (High On Fire, Converge), was mixed by Andrew Scheps (Adele, Black Sabbath, Metallica), and includes a staggering roster of guests to be revealed soon.

New single "Snakes For Dinner" (which follows on the heels of last month’s immediate fan favorite “Your Ghost Again,” which ranked #2 on a Revolver reader’s poll of best songs of 2026 so far) is an emotionally charged epic featuring Josh Homme's first appearance on a Mastodon recording since his contribution to “Colony of Birchmen” on 2006’s Blood Mountain. Anchored by crushing riffs, and soaring melodies the song unveils the emotional core of Marrow Deep, reflecting on the lingering absence of those we've lost and the winding path ahead. Appropriately, the announcement follows last week's release of the band's short film, The Mastodon in the Room, an intimate document of the band as they attempt to process the unresolved grief surrounding the loss of founding guitarist Brent Hinds. The piece presents an extraordinary meditation on the legacy of their remarkable 25-year journey together while staying honest and candid about the relationship dynamic that led to the split.

While the film honored Mastodon's past and the tragic path that led them to the current moment, Marrow Deep marks the beginning of an ambitious new era. The album preserves the crushing riffs, adventurous songwriting, and emotional depth that have long defined Mastodon, while a renewed sense of purpose pushes the band toward some of the most compelling music of their career. “Bill, Brann, and myself are thrilled that we still have the opportunity to do this, and we've got other members who are just over the moon to be in the band with us,” Sanders says. “That's a magical feeling that makes us keep wanting to go to band practice. It’s reminiscent of the very beginning of our band, where all members are hungry, we're united, and excited to get to work. And we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to do this record.”

The band will celebrate the release with the upcoming The Poisonous Weapons Tour, a nationwide run of dates with support from Deafheaven and Alcest. Kicking off September 16 in Orlando, the trio of bands will cut their way across the full country before closing out October 24 at Sick New World Dallas.
