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 Today British indie-psych rockers and cult favorites Temples release 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. 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.

Lykke Li Shares The Magician Remix of "Lucky Again." Final Album "The Afterparty" Out Now

LYKKE LI UNVEILS THE MAGICIAN REMIX OF "LUCKY AGAIN" — OUT NOW   LAUNCHES A WEEKLY SUMMER-LONG REMIX SERIES FEATURING REWORKS BY THE MAGICIAN, MURA MASA, HORSE MEAT DISCO, ONLY FIRE, REBECCA &FIONA, AND KILLEN

LISTEN LUCKY AGAIN – THE MAGICIAN REMIX LISTEN THE AFTERPARTY (ALBUM) Internationally acclaimed artist Lykke Li shares a brand new remix of "Lucky Again," reimagined by legendary Belgian producer and DJ The Magician. The collaboration marks a full-circle moment for two artists whose creative history has already left a lasting mark on electronic music. More than a decade after The Magician's iconic remix of Lykke Li's "I Follow Rivers" became a global phenomenon, surpassing one billion streams and cementing itself as one of the defining dance records of its generation, the pair reunite for a fresh interpretation of "Lucky Again." Originally one of the emotional standouts from Lykke Li's latest album, The Afterparty, "Lucky Again" explores the fragile hope of finding light after heartbreak. The Magician elevates the track into an uplifting, late-night anthem, pairing Lykke Li's ethereal vocals with warm piano chords, shimmering synths, and the euphoric melodic house production that has made him one of the genre's most beloved producers.   The remix arrives amid a major new chapter for Lykke Li. The Afterparty has been celebrated for its raw songwriting, cinematic production, and deeply personal storytelling, further cementing her status as one of alternative pop's most singular voices. At the same time, her influence continues to reach new audiences, most recently through Drake's interpolation of "I Follow Rivers" on "Janice STFU," which introduced one of her most beloved songs to a new generation of listeners and earned Lykke her first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 as a credited songwriter. The renewed attention has sparked a broader resurgence across her catalog, underscoring the enduring impact of her music. For The Magician, the remix continues an extraordinary career that has bridged indie and electronic music for more than a decade. Following the release of his debut album Voyage, collaborations with artists including Purple Disco Machine, A-Trak, and Inner City, and performances at Coachella, Tomorrowland, Printworks London, and a five-year residency at Elsewhere Brooklyn, he remains one of dance music's most influential tastemakers. The release arrives as Lykke Li continues to expand one of music's most distinctive catalogs, once again demonstrating the timeless connection between her emotionally rich songwriting and The Magician's ability to transform intimate songs into euphoric dance records. The release serves as the first installment in an expansive remix campaign that breathes new life into standout tracks from her latest album, inviting a diverse lineup of celebrated producers to reinterpret her music across the dance spectrum throughout the summer. The forthcoming remix rollout includes: June 26 – Lucky Again (The Magician Remix) July 10 – Lucky Again (Horse Meat Disco Remix) July 17 – Happy Now (Only Fire Remix) July 31 – Lucky Again (Rebecca & Fiona Remix) August 14 – Future Fear (Killen Remix) August 28 – Knife In The Heart (The Magician Remix)   The Magician's remix of "Lucky Again" is available HERE on all digital streaming platforms.

Icona Pop Release "Yellow Top." Forthcoming Album RITUAL Out August 14.

ICONA POP UNVEIL SUN-SOAKED NEW SINGLE “YELLOW TOP” - LISTEN   NEW ALBUM, RITUAL ARRIVES AUGUST 14 - PRE-ORDER/SAVE [ULTRA RECORDS / ICONIC SOUND RECORDINGS]   CONFIRMED TO PLAY CINCINNATI & ST. LOUIS PRIDE FESTIVALS THIS WEEKEND

LISTEN “YELLOW TOP”   PRE-ORDER/SAVE RITUAL NORTH AMERICAN PRIDE FESTIVALS 06/27 – Cincinnati Pride Festival – Cincinnati, OH 06/28 – PrideFest – St. Louis, MO   Today, multi-platinum, award-winning duo Icona Pop release their irresistible new single “Yellow Top,” the latest taste of their forthcoming album Ritual, arriving August 14 via Ultra Records/Iconic Sound Recordings. Bursting with sun-soaked energy, shimmering tropical house production, and the duo’s signature club-ready pop sound, “Yellow Top” captures the rush of a fleeting summer romance with effortless charm.   Listen to “Yellow Top” HERE.   Anchored by the instantly memorable refrain, “One hand under my yellow top / Two hands, show me who you are,” the song bottles the carefree thrill of a beachside romance and the desire to make the moment last forever. Blending breezy indie-pop textures with euphoric dancefloor momentum, “Yellow Top” is poised to become the soundtrack to late-summer nights and golden-hour memories.   Building on the momentum of title track, “Ritual,” as well as “Dance To This” and “Butterfly Feelings,” “Yellow Top” further expands the vibrant emotional landscape of Ritual. Equal parts nostalgic and euphoric, the track leans into spontaneity, desire, and the kind of connection that feels destined to become a cherished memory. Speaking about the new song, Icona Pop share, “‘Yellow Top’ is about a flirty moment on a dreamy beach in southern Europe, drinking Palomas and just having fun, sun going down, the city lighting up. We hope the song will bring back your beach romance memories, or be the soundtrack to your next one.” With “Yellow Top,” Icona Pop continue to unveil the vibrant world of Ritual, an album that finds Caroline Hjeltand Aino Jawo at their most emotionally open and creatively confident. Written during a deeply transformative period in their lives, the project explores themes of friendship, reinvention, healing, motherhood, heartbreak, and joy while reaffirming the dancefloor as a space for release, connection, and self-discovery.   Speaking on the project, Icona Pop reveal: “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.”   Throughout Ritual, Icona Pop reshape personal experiences into expansive, feel-good anthems without losing the emotional honesty that has defined their evolution as artists. With “Yellow Top,” Icona Pop deliver the quintessential soundtrack to summer—a shimmering ode to spontaneity, sun-soaked romance, and the memories that stay with you long after the season ends.   Icona Pop will celebrate the release of “Yellow Top” with appearances at Cincinnati Pride Festival on June 27 and a headlining performance at PrideFest in St. Louis on June 28 (TICKETS). This Fall, the duo will kick off their Ritual Tour on October 23 in Göteborg, Sweden, with additional shows lined up in Oslo, Stockholmand concluding, November 13 in Copenhagen.

Cobrah and Grimes share new single "Sign From God"

COBRAH AND GRIMES SHARE NEW SINGLE & VISUALIZER “SIGN FROM GOD” COBRAH’S NEW ALBUM TORN IS OUT NOW VIA ATLANTIC RECORDS Press photo credit Yulia Shur “Radical Swedish popstar Cobrah shifts from erotic provocateur to a more romantic, lyrical mode on her debut album”  Mixmag Cover Story “The album strips Cobrah of her incendiary mask to reveal the vulnerable interiority of a woman exploring a new side of herself — one who loves hard, desires long-term commitment, and fears heartbreak.” NYLON “COBRAH teases an ambitious lean into the theatrical passions of her teen years, stepping away from the booming sound systems and rave-ready BPMs dominating her club performances and instead slipping into the role of storyteller.” NME Cover Story “Cobrah excels at providing a high-octane good time with seductive ferocity” Stereogum “A full-body experience” Resident Advisor “Sign From God”  LISTEN: cobrahxgrimes.lnk.to/signfromgod Torn LISTEN:  https://cobrah.lnk.to/TornAlbum (June 26th, 2026) - Following the release of her debut album Torn out now via Atlantic Records, experimental pop provocateur Cobrah is back to share a new single with Grimes, sultry banger “Sign From God.” Cobrah and Grimes first debuted the song with a performance at Cobrah’s Coachella set this past April and fans have been highly anticipating the drop ever since.   The new single follows Cobrah’s debut album Torn, written and creative directed entirely by Cobrah herself, the record fuses stark emotional exposure with provocative, cinematic grandeur and explosive production. Torn stands as a striking self-portrait; visceral, theatrical, and unapologetically bold. Speaking about the album Cobrah shares, “With Torn, I am way more ‘me’ as a person, the songs pull from my real life. It’s a little bit scary. I love doing characters. I love making things up and being extreme - and I’m still doing that on this album - but I’m also peeling it all off and presenting my real self as a character.”  Following her world tour across North America and Europe Cobrah will be performing festival sets at Roskilde in Denmark, Dour Festival in Belgium, Way Out West Festival in her home country of Sweden and Lowlands Festival in the Netherlands this Summer. Cobrah will then be coming back to the U.S. in September for a Boiler Room set in Washington, DC and a performance in New York at Under The K Bridge with Tove Lo.  A multidisciplinary artist originally from Gothenburg, Sweden, Cobrah emerged from Stockholm’s underground fetish scene, channeling its energy into a bold and boundary-breaking pop vision. Her 2019 debut EP ICON introduced her subversive aesthetic and led to the launch of her label GAGBALL Records, while the breakout hit “IDFKA” earned a Swedish Grammis nomination for Music Video of the Year. 2021’s self-titled COBRAH EP—praised by NME as “a self-assured slab of sexy, celebratory wonky-pop”—and 2023’s SUCCUBUS EP, which won the Swedish Grammis for Electro/Dance of the Year, solidified Cobrah as one of Europe’s most forward-thinking pop artists. Her reimagined SUCCUBUS XXXTENDED featured Amanda Lepore, Ayesha Erotica, and VTSS, and her acclaimed Boiler Room set in London further underscored her reputation for immersive, high-concept performance.  Beyond music, Cobrah’s influence spans fashion and film. She has attended New York and Paris Fashion Weeks for designers including Dilara Fındıkoğlu, Dion Lee, and Matière Fécale, and her music has appeared in campaigns for Jean Paul Gaultier, Mugler, Lancôme, and Viktor & Rolf. Most recently, her single “BRAND NEW BITCH” featured in Yorgos Lanthimos’ 2024 film Kinds of Kindness and its official trailer. Listen to “Sign From God” and Torn above.  Tour Dates:  7/2-4 - Roskilde, Denmark @ Roskilde 7/18 - Dour, BE @ Dour Festival 8/13 - Gothenburg, Sweden @ Way Out West 8/21 - Biddinghuizen, Netherlands @ Lowlands Festival 9/12 - Washington, DC @ Boiler Room  9/19 - New York, NY @ Under The K Bridge w/ Tove Lo

Credit: Chloe Aftel  Feminist punk trailblazers heavens to betsy – Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney) and Tracy Sawyer (The Husbands, The Flying Tigers, The Lies) – brought fans to their feet as they reunited for an intimate, sold-out secret show last night in Portland. Today, the band has announced their first national tour in three decades, offering fans the chance to experience their electrifying performance once again! Tickets go on-sale Thursday, July 2 at 10am local. Led by Corin’s singular howl, heavens to betsy was inspired by Evergreen, WA area bands like Bratmobile and Bikini Kill and the growing community of young women making art, advocating for their rights and carving out space for new faces in the traditionally male-dominated punk scene. Their rebellious, trailblazing voices helped bring awareness to important issues, such as the pervasiveness of rape culture, discussions of intersectional politics and body shaming – issues still permeating American politics today – as well as celebrating female friendships, queerness and the strength of community. Corin and Tracy grew up in Eugene, Oregon, where they met in middle school and bonded over a mutual love of music and, eventually, the dream of starting their own band. The first time Corin and Tracy played live was at the International Pop Underground convention’s Girl Night, at KAOS DJ Michelle Noel’s request. “I don't think we had any material written,” Corin remembers. “But I was like, ‘Yeah, we'll do that’ with all the confidence in the world. Then we wrote two songs and played them at that convention, and it was a really big deal, because all of our musical heroes were in the audience that night: Fugazi, Bikini Hill, Bratmobile, Calamity Jane. We were terrified, but they were so supportive. All of them told us how much they loved the band that first night. It was like a Cinderella story.” heavens to betsy would go on to release three 7" recordings (in 1992, a split with Batmobile, followed by These Monsters Are Real, and Direction) and one, now-classic full-length album; Calculated came out in 1994 via Kill Rock Stars.
