Photo Credit: Tim Saccenti, 2016 Following the release of new album Stardust, a glitch-driven, genre-warping futuristic dispatch from the fringes of hip-hop culture, Danny Brown celebrates a decade since the release of his much-loved 2016 album Atrocity Exhibition with anniversary special editions and a quartet of live shows in which he will perform the album front-to-back for the first time.  Atrocity Exhibition was the first Danny Brown album on Warp Records, an inspired coming together of artist and label. The record was greeted as a high watermark in experimental rap, a sonic swirl inspired by the work of Talking Heads and Joy Division that nonetheless sounded like nothing else from the past or present. Along with contributions from producers like Evian Christ, Petite Noir, Black Milk and the Alchemist, the bulk of production is handled by long-time collaborator Paul White, absolutely in the pocket with the rapid-fire rhymes of Brown on Atrocity Exhibition. The pair fashion laser-beam guitars, gym-teacher whistles, creaking vocal samples, and air-raid drones into the most intriguing take on hallucinatory rap since the heady heights of Cold Vein or Madvillainy. The album boasts features from Kendrick Lamar, Earl Sweatshirt, Ab-Soul, B-Real, and labelmate Kelela; with mixing deftly handled by Derek ‘MixedByAli’ Ali as the cherry on the cake. The melding of Brown’s unique flow and tone with an innovative soundscape, pulling samples from such esoteric sources as 70s German cosmic rock records, radiophonic experiments and industrial techno, with tracks like “Really Doe” and “Ain’t It Funny” becoming leftfield anthems, the latter track rapturously received by a whole new generation of fans on the recent Stardust tour. Atrocity Exhibition explores some weighty themes, but there’s light amidst the darkness, too. Brown’s sense of humor and party-starting vibe is more than present throughout the record, from the frantic electro-combustion of “When It Rain” to the raunchy travelogue of “Golddust”, the latter in which our protagonist rhapsodizes about twerk-offs and Bloody Marys for brunch over a martial soul sample. Soothed-out smoking anthem “Get Hi” finds Brown taking a literal breather to remind listeners about the finer, more fragrant things in life, while “White Lines” turns a dizzying drug binge into the type of sing-along you’d find on a demented, alternate-universe Sesame Street.  For the tenth anniversary, original sleeve designer Ed Davis (formerly of Brain Dead) has come up with new alternate artwork, with the limited 2LP colour vinyl edition housed in shiny silver mirriboard packaging, printed inner sleeves and an 8 page 12” booklet. The CD version is housed in an 8 panel mirriboard card wallet, also utilising the alternate artwork, and comes with a bonus disc containing previously unreleased instrumental versions of all the tracks on the album. Both of these are one time pressings that will not be available again. The instrumentals are also landing on streaming services for the first time, with the version of “Ain’t It Funny” available now as a taste of what is to come. The special edition formats will be available in record stores worldwide on November 13, 2026. For the live shows, Danny Brown will be performing Atrocity Exhibition in full, front-to-back, the first time that he’s done this for any album, four unique shows taking place in Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago and Austin. Tickets go on sale on Thursday 24 September at 10AM local time.

ELISSA MIELKE RELEASES NEW SINGLE "LEMON TREE"; UPCOMING SHOWS IN NASHVILLE AND NEW YORK

ELISSA MIELKE RELEASES NEW SINGLE “LEMON TREE”

OUT NOW ON LD RECORDS; LISTEN HERE

UPCOMING LIVE DATES IN NASHVILLE AND NEW YORK

SINGLE ART | PHOTO: CJ Harvey Today, Canadian singer-songwriter Elissa Mielke releases her new single “Lemon Tree”, a tender reflection on the uncertainty that lingers after a love story comes to an end. Produced by Grammy nominated Philip Weinrobe (Big Thief, Adrianne Lenker, Lucinda Williams), the song opens with warm twangs of pedal steel played by country steel legend Russ Pahl (Willie Nelson, Elton John, Kacey Musgraves) and soft drums as Mielke’s tender vocals revisit a memory through confessional questions, retracing the details of a relationship and where it went wrong. Built around a series of increasingly specific memories and imagined explanations, the song turns the familiar post-breakup impulse to comb over details and insecurities into something both wry and deeply human. Mielke asks whether it was a gesture, a missed moment, a shirt, a kiss, or simply some unknowable distance that made the relationship impossible. As the song unfolds, that obsessive self-questioning gives way to something more liberating: the relieving decision to stop searching for an answer and move forward. At its center, Mielke sings, “I could be angry but maybe you see / something I didn’t why we couldn’t be,” before arriving at the song’s quietly hopeful refrain: “call the future a friend / let go and give in / go on loving again.” LISTEN HERE: LDRecords.lnk.to/LemonTree

Earlier this summer, Mielke released her single “Don’t Have to Hate You”, a contemplative celebration of finding power in letting go, the track finds Mielke turning away from resentment and toward release, pairing a breezy, upbeat arrangement with confessional songwriting that explore the long afterlife of a relationship. That same confessional spirit carries in “Lemon Tree”, but it is presented in a way that reveals not only Mielke’s musical versatility, but also the conflicting emotions that come with moving on. As the song circles through intimate memories and repeatedly wonders “why?”, there is a rawness in her tone that speaks to the heart of her artistry, allowing vulnerability to be translated into something universal.

Mielke first drew attention for her powerful vocals and stripped-back songwriting on her 2021 EP Finally, which earned praise from Pitchfork, who described her voice as “an immense ocean of an instrument” and highlighted the directness and emotional clarity of her writing. Uproxx noted “her ability to pen rich and introspective songs” and Exclaim! crowned her an “Artist To Watch”. Since then, she has continued to develop a body of work that moves between folk, indie rock, and intimate singer-songwriter traditions, balancing vivid lyrical detail with understated arrangements.

Mielke kicked off her tour in Los Angeles this past July and will return over the next month with dates in Nashville and New York - details below. “Lemon Tree” and “Don’t Have To Hate You” are out now and available across all digital platforms via LD Records / Secretly Distribution.

Lowly Shares New Single: “Stretch Under Strain” | 'Softy' LP out 10/30 via Bella Union

Lowly Shares New Single: “Stretch Under Strain” Softy LP due out October 30 via Bella Union Softy album pre-order Singles: “Liminal Space” “Softy” “Stretch Under Strain”

Credit: Herup Mørck  Danish quintet Lowly will release their fourth studio album Softy on October 30 via Bella Union. With Brian Eno expressing open admiration for their acclaimed previous work, Nanna Schannong (vocals), Soffie Viemose (vocals), Kasper Staub (synthesizer), Thomas Lund (bass), and Steffen Lundtoft (drums) have delivered an album of deep emotionality, exploring themes of parenthood, family, love, and loss, while expanding on the dreampop sound that made their previous releases so popular.  Today, the band shares new single “Stretch Under Strain” which invites the listener to freely feel what you actually feel in your body right now. A lowly piano sets off the ballad coloured by subtle electronic touches, soon followed by Soffie Viemose’s vigorous voice, putting all these feelings into words. The song reaches the lowest lows and the highest heights in its monumental cry for relief. The band explains, “We were brought up told to pull ourselves together, rise through the ranks and fight for our countries. But maybe we’re not supposed to be able to bear this pressure we’re under. Maybe new generations will teach us that there’s something to discover in our vulnerability, the overwhelmedness and even incapabilities.”  Watch / Share: “Stretch Under Strain” For the first time in their career, the Danish 5-piece decided to self-produce their album, a choice that brought them even closer to fully realizing their impact. Across 10 sprawling tracks, the band tell a tale of modern life, weaving together stories of raising children, searching for togetherness, and finding courage in the face of an increasingly unstable world. “When the world is going so crazy, bravery is more relevant than ever,” says Steffen. “Maybe that's why we’re channeling these feelings on this particular album, because right now is the craziest time in all of our lives. We talked a lot about, what do we want to do? Why do we want to be a band under these circumstances? And if we're going to be a band, then we should do it in a really, really caring and sustainable way. Let’s take responsibility for the process, and also be brave enough to put out an album that's not overproduced.” Softy is the sound of five people who have created a seamless listening experience made up of their biggest achievements and most vulnerable moments. Four albums in, and this is just the beginning.  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube Spotify | Bandcamp | Apple Music
