SUKI WATERHOUSE DROPS NEW SINGLE “TINY RAISIN”

SUKI WATERHOUSE DROPS NEW SINGLE “TINY RAISIN”


NEW ALBUM LOVELAND OUT JULY 10TH

PRE-SAVE / PRE-ORDER HERE

Today, Suki Waterhouse drops her new single “Tiny Raisin” – the second song from her freshly announced forthcoming album Loveland. “Tiny Raisin” was written by Suki, Steph Jones, Carrie K, and Gabe Simon, the latter of whom produced the track. Listen HERE.

 

The lovingly cheeky single arrives with a visualizer that stars Suki as the ultimate cool girl in a vintage convertible on a glamorous joyride. Watch the visualizer HERE.

 

Suki shares, “‘Tiny Raisin’ is a love song at its core. It’s a song that stands by the fact that real love in its truest essence can be chaotic, ridiculous, and imperfect, while still being something that is absolutely worth choosing over and over again at the end of the day.”

 

“Tiny Raisin” marks the second single from Suki’s upcoming album Loveland, out July 10th via Island Records. It follows “Back in Love,” the album’s buoyant lead single, which Harper’s Bazaar declared “a super joyful track made for late summer nights dancing around with friends” and NYLON praised, “The instrumentation is grand, luscious, and builds a world that perfectly supports Waterhouse's self-respecting, life-affirming lyrics."

“DANCE TO THIS”
 
Today, multi-platinum, award-winning duo Icona Pop officially announce details on their fourth studio album Ritual, arriving August 14 via Ultra Records/Iconic Sound Recordings. 

Written during a transformative chapter in the duo’s lives that could have easily seen the beloved duo split, Ritual is Icona Pop at their most honest, liberated, and emotionally fearless—an album shaped by friendship, reinvention, motherhood, heartbreak, healing, and joy. Across the record, the longtime creative partners turn the dancefloor into a space for release and renewal. Ritual is the sound of two women at the height of their creative confidence, reclaiming their artistry—and inviting everyone to the dancefloor with them.
 
Speaking on the project, Icona Pop share: “Healing requires you to slow down and reflect, but you can’t work on yourself 24/7 forever. Eventually, you have to get back out into the world and see what happens. You might mess up—but that could be exactly what you need. For us, the dance floor has always been a place where we find ourselves and each other again. It’s where we can disappear into the music and let go of everything else.”

Alongside the announcement, the duo delivers an infectious new single, “Dance To This,” out today with an official music video directed by Gustav StegforsWatch HERE.

Co-written by the duo themselves, and produced by Sebastian Furrer“Dance To This” channels the raw energy from the beginning of their career, matched with a sharp-edged modern pulse. Fueled by swaggering verses, chant-ready hooks, thundering beats, and dancefloor abandon, the track captures the feeling of losing yourself in the night and finding yourself again in the music. With lines like “Kinda wanna burn a bridge / Kinda wanna be a bitch / Kinda wanna take a risk / Kinda wanna dance to this,” the song bottles chaos, confidence, and catharsis into three minutes of pure Icona Pop electricity.

Speaking about the track, Aino reveals, “The production definitely reminds me of old Icona Pop. We could perform it live, but we could also put it in a DJ set.” Caroline adds, “It’s one of those nights when you’re finding yourself by going out… it’s the moment you see yourself dancing and connected to your essence.”
 
Dance To This” follows the release of the album’s powerful title track “Ritual” featuring Daya, alongside an official music video directed by Gustav Stegfors. Built around themes of survival, movement, and self-reclamation, the song introduced a more vulnerable and emotionally grounded side of the duo.

Irmin Schmidt's New Album 'Requiem' Is Out Now On Mute

IRMIN SCHMIDT’s new album Requiem, is out now on vinyl, CD and digitally via Mute / Future Days Music (Spoon).

Requiem is an album of exquisite balance between human-made and nature-produced sounds. The album – presented in two sections - sees Irmin Schmidt playing prepared and unprepared piano alongside environmental recordings of the sounds of nature that surround his home in Southern France.

Listen to the album HERE.

Listen to a new excerpt HERE.

“In nature,” Schmidt explains, “I find so much music, and that becomes a kind of dialogue.” After hearing a nightingale sing in his garden that he felt compelled to record, Schmidt began to build up these sounds - recording water, bird and frog noises and his local surroundings – in a form of personal ritual. The piano that accompanies his environmental recordings – prepared and unprepared – was spontaneous and, in the tradition of Can’s recordings, some of these spontaneous compositions were edited at a later date, with the help of long-time collaborator René Tinner. 

Schmidt, who will be 89 years old in 2026, explains that Requiem is a meditation on remembrance, on loss and commemoration. The slow melding and manipulation of these environmental and piano recordings creates a liminal space that allows the listener to embark on their own journey of contemplation.

The preternatural, meditative movement between Schmidt’s piano and recordings brings both present and distant memories into view, their symbiosis creating one of Schmidt’s most affecting and inspiring works to date.

After an extensive classical education as pianist, conductor and composer, Irmin Schmidt, who studied under Stockhausen and Ligeti, co-founded Can in the late 60s, combining classic new music with rock and jazz. Outside of his work with Can, Schmidt has released over a dozen solo albums and written an opera, Gormenghast, based on the novels of Mervyn Peake. The opera, which originally premiered in 1998, was recently performed at the Linz Opera in Austria. For his contribution to art and culture he was awarded the highest honours in France, the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, and in Germany, the Bundesverdienst Orden. In 2018 Faber Social published Can – All Gates Open, a two-part book – the first section is Can’s biography, written by Rob Young, and the second section is Can Kiosk, a collage of diary entries and interviews edited and written by Irmin Schmidt. His new album, Requiem, follows 2018’s 5 Klavierstücke, a piano work using prepared and unprepared piano and 2020’s Nocturne, a live album documenting his Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival performance followed.

Requiem is out now on vinyl, CD and digitally via Mute.

US dream-pop duo Magic Wands have released a new EP entitled ‘Wishing Well’ today (24th April) on Metropolis Records. It includes the singles ‘Sacred Mirrors’ (a collaboration with Psychedelic Furs guitarist John Ashton) and ‘Wishing Well’, a remastered version of the 2024 single ‘Hide’, a remix of ‘Golden’ (from their 2025 album ‘Cascades’), plus the brand new songs ‘Starline’ and ‘Yesterday’s Dream’.

"‘Starline’ is a push-and-pull between fear and surrender, burning like something you can’t quite hold,” the band explain. “It’s about longing, release and the moment of truth. As the lyric states, 'will you run’ or ‘can I stay?’" With a growing emotional intensity, the song builds into a powerful realisation: when everything else falls away, there’s 'nothing left but love’.

'Sacred Mirrors’ YouTube and 'Wishing Well’ lyric video have both been issued in 2026. The former is built around an instrumental track by John Ashton, a self-professed fan of Magic Wands. He sent it to the duo, who added further guitar, keyboards, percussion, lyrics and vocals. The latter has an insistent rhythm, swirling guitars, plus a vocal that adds to its hazy atmosphere. It sounds like an immediate post-punk meets shoegaze classic.

Originally formed in Nashville, but now based in Los Angeles, Magic Wands are the duo of vocalists/guitarists Dexy and Chris Valentine. Renowned for a shimmering, dreamy sound that melds elements of shoegaze, dream-pop, post-punk and goth, their music utilises heavily textured guitars, synth drones and ethereal vocals to conjure an otherworldly atmosphere.

Their current album, ‘Cascades’, was released in October 2025. It explores transformation, reflection and the pull of distant horizons. Imbued with the spirit of centuries-old poetry, gothic romance and myth, its celestial mood bridges the sound of their 2012 debut album, 'Aloha Moon’, with more recent releases.

“Amid the cacophony of today’s world, Magic Wands emerges like a whisper in the wind; a spellbinding blend of sound that feels both familiar and foreign"
POST-PUNK
“Moody and atmospheric. For maximum effectiveness, listen to it at dusk with a single candle lit ****”
SPILL MAGAZINE
“Both familiar and quietly bold, a record that walks that razor-thin line between dream-pop and gothic atmosphere. A slow, smoky invocation 4.5/5”

Miss Grit's New Album 'Under My Umbrella' Is Out Now On Mute || Release Show In NYC Tonight

MISS GRIT
NEW ALBUM UNDER MY UMBRELLA
OUT TODAY ON MUTE

SHARES VISUALIZER FOR FOCUS TRACK
“WASTE ME”

RECORD RELEASE SHOW TONIGHT IN NYC, 5/2 IN LA

SUPPORTING JUST MUSTARD ON TOUR THIS SPRING

"Miss Grit has a clear vision, and she knows how to make music that's both off-kilter and widely-appealing." - Brooklyn Vegan

"Exploring uncanny sonic spaces is something Miss Grit excels at.” 
- Rolling Stone

 

Miss Grit—the project of New York-based, Korean-American musician Margaret Sohn (they/she)—releases their new album, Under My Umbrella, today via Mute and presents the visualizer for the focus track, “Waste Me.” The song is about the feeling of being misunderstood but being equally unable to express oneself fully: “I’m a real slow book // And a lot is left unsaid // Most things go through me // So I barely exist.”

Sohn reflects: “I learned a lot about myself through making this album; it was an exercise in vulnerability. With “Waste Me,” especially, I had never been so honest with my lyrics. . . to the extent that I almost wasn’t comfortable including it on the album.”

“Waste Me” follows “Mind Disaster,” which Consequence called “a perfect demonstration of their majestic, hypnotic approach,”  the “trippy, futuristic electronica” (The Forty-Five) of  “Tourist Mind” and the “dreamy electro-pop track” (Stereogum), “Stranger.”

Sohn is a bold experimentalist and architect of sculptural texture, known for deftly moving between analogue and digital, guitar and synths, and creating an immersive cosmos of sound with futuristic frameworks for their searching introspection. For their second full-length album, Under My Umbrella, they’ve lifted the lid on their internal world, lasering in on the anxieties and heartbreak of the past two years. It’s an album that is as immersive and expansive as it is intimate, channeling the noirish atmosphere of classic trip-hop bands, while adding a hefty dose of maximalism and a dream-pop sensibility. 

Under My Umbrella began to take shape when Sohn returned from an intense touring schedule where they’d driven themself around North America totally alone. When they returned home, Sohn found themselves yearning to capture that specific, less restrained energy of playing live. Like Follow The Cyborg, its creation mostly took place in Sohn’s Queens apartment. The music came to them quickly, streams of consciousness with one new guiding principle: don’t overthink it. “I tried not to edit too much or force a moment to happen,” they explain, leaning into big choruses where it felt right. Some guitar sounds were first takes, ditto vocals, thus preserving the immediacy and authenticity of the emotion. As such, it’s a densely layered album, charged with electric crescendos that build to moments of unbridled catharsis. “It feels truer to myself, and more of a representation of what is actually coming out of me,” says Sohn.

Miss Grit will play record release shows in NYC tonight at Nightclub 101 and Los Angeles on Saturday, May 2nd at ScribbleIn May, they will support Just Mustard on their North American tour. A full list of dates is below.
