NYC electronic post-punk band Public Circuit announce new album 'Modern Church'

NYC ELECTRONIC POST-PUNK BAND PUBLIC CIRCUIT ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM MODERN CHURCH ARRIVING ON SEPTEMBER 12 VIA  À LA CARTE RECORDS — PRE-ORDER CUT THEIR HAIR AND STEAL THEIR STRENGTH ON FIRST SINGLE “SAMSON” — STREAM / WATCH THE OFFICIAL VIDEO ANNOUNCE HEADLINE TOUR OF NORTH AMERICA AND  EUROPE — SEE ALL DATES HERE Press photo by Nicole Miller “If one were to create a new band by means of in-vitro fertilization using a frozen embryo donated by electronic music pioneer Delia Derbyshire (RIP) pollinated with genetic materials from the members of Belarusian post-punk band Molchat Doma; Parisian coldwave artist Marc Nguyen Tan a.k.a. Colder; Meat Beat Manifesto as remixed by Aphex Twin; Martin Gore via an old pair of bondage trousers from 1986’s Black Celebration tour; M83 circa Saturdays = Youth, and finally some backup DNA from various Hypnagogic pop and vaporwave artists looking to get out of debt…”

Today, New York City electronic post-punk band Public Circuit announce their new record Modern Church: arriving on September 12 via à La Carte Records. Built up by Ethan Biamont, Sean Holloway and Nelson Fisher, the band are the pagan heretics driving their scene forward with an indomitable will to live. This news is heralded with a US and European tour announcement, as well as the first single and video of the album, the Pet Shop Boys meets The Faint stab at fragile masculinity, “Samson” — Stream / Watch the official video.  Named after the character of Abrahamic mythology known for superhuman strength and a betrayal that led to his downfall, “Samson” touches on the hubris wrapped up in masculine society. Propelling the elements of a synth-pop ballad forward with punk expression, the result is a danceable groove with striking instrumentation and vocals.   “This song was named after the religious tale of Samson the warrior, a character I always thought was so cool as a child,” shares the band’s Ethan Biamont. “What does it mean to embrace or defy the concepts of masculinity in a world so choked by patriarchal ideals for gender expression and sexuality? Samson loses his hair which is the key to his masculine strength, and I think that when you stray from the binary ideas of gender, it can feel like you need some obvious physical denotion to express that feeling. Cut me free.” On Modern Church, NYC trio Public Circuit dismantle and reassemble post-punk with surgical precision. Gone is any pretense of retro revivalism—what remains is something sharper, darker, and entirely their own. This is a record that dances in the flicker of candlelight and fluorescent glare alike, channeling an austere pulse of angular electronic instrumentation, and raw percussive rhythms all bathed with the high-gloss ache of sophisti-pop into a sound that’s equal parts ritual and revolution. The album is overtly religious in theme; an analogical tool to explore gender identity, the fleeting faith of society, and the illicit repercussions of unresolved trauma. Public Circuit is deeply influenced by NYC’s constant feed of noise and bustle the city delivers. Channeling these pensive emotions into explosive energy, the band commits to live up to the historical behemoth of NYC music as their sphere of influence continues to expand.  Following the release of their debut album in 2024, the band took Lamb to the road with sold-out shows across 30 states including festival performances at New Colossus, Hopscotch and MACROCK. They’ll continue to spread their gospel this coming Fall on their newly announced tour of the US and Europe. While in Berlin, they will join the lineup of 8mm Festival alongside A Place To Bury Strangers and Snapped Ankles. And in the Netherlands, they will play Left Of The Dial festival.

Laura Groves Announces 'Yes' EP out August 1 via Bella Union || Shares First Single "Deep Blue"

Laura Groves Announces Yes EP out August 1 via Bella Union Shares video for first single "Deep Blue" UK/EU Live Dates

Photo credit: Anika Mottershaw  Following her recent collaborative work with Richard Russell’s Everything Is Recorded project, Laura Groves today announces the release of Yes, a new 4-track EP out 1st August via Bella Union and available to pre-order here. Alongside the announcement Laura has shared alluring lead track “Deep Blue”, a song that encompasses themes of emotional intensity, passing through doors of perception and recollection; questions of trust and paranoia; knowing when to surrender and concede; tuning in to intuition like scanning through a radio. The accompanying video, which as a multi-disciplinary artist Laura created herself, is a striking video collage similar in style to her previous video work for 2023’s Radio Red album, made up of layered footage she shot and collected over the last few years. Click HERE to watch.   Commenting on “Deep Blue” Laura Groves says: “Deep Blue is a song about asking somebody to be vulnerable and reveal more of their secret world, whilst also trying to embody those things myself. There is a directness to the hard kick drum and opening lines of the song - a confrontation and then an admission of deep feelings, stirred up like a deep blue body of water by the heavily modulated Juno 106 synthesiser. My close friends Joviale and Fabiana Palladino join me on backing vocals in the chorus.” 3rd July - Headline show, Spanners, London, UK 5th July - Zorlu Performing Arts Centre, Istanbul, TR w/ Jessica Pratt 7th July - Paradiso, Amsterdam NL w/ Jessica Pratt 8th July - 4AD, Diksmulde, BE w/ Jessica Pratt 13th July - w/ Everything is Recorded band - Gent Jazz, BE 16th July - w/ Everything is Recorded band - Manchester International Festival, UK 2nd August - w/ Everything is Recorded band - All Together Now, IE 16th August - w/ Everything is Recorded band - We Out Here, UK 30th August - w/ Everything is Recorded band - Into the Great Wide Open, NL 4th November - w/ Everything is Recorded band - Village Underground, London, UK 8th November - Hotel Cecil, Copenhagen, Denmark w/ Nourished by Time 10th November - Nochtspeicher, Hamburg, Germany w/ Nourished by Time 12th November - Hydrozagadkaklub, Warsaw, Poland w/ Nourished by Time 21st November - Band on the Wall, Manchester w/ Nourished by Time 22nd November - Glasgow School of Art w/ Nourished by Time   Laura Groves is a singer‑songwriter, producer, multi‑instrumentalist and multi-disciplinary artist known for her deeply evocative, avant‑pop sound. Born in Bradford and based in London, Groves crafts richly textured, subtly experimental songs that blend ambient synths, layered harmonies and poetic storytelling. Fiercely unique and uncompromising, her work probes human connection with rare intelligence and emotional clarity. Her most recent album was 2023’s critically acclaimed Radio Red while the past two years have seen her collaborate with Richard Russell’s Everything Is Recorded and provide keyboards and vocals in Sam Morton’s live band having performed on her album “Daffodils and Dirt.” She also presents a long-running show on NTS Radio called ‘Desire Paths.” Yes EP artwork and tracklist:

Frost Children shares new single / music video + new album 'SISTER' due 9/12 via True Panther/Dirty Hit

FROST CHILDREN SHARE NEW SINGLE “FALLING” HEADLINE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR THIS FALL SISTER DUE SEPTEMBER 12TH  VIA TRUE PANTHER / DIRTY HIT

Frost Children by Lotus Blossom “Falling” LISTEN: LINK WATCH: LINK SISTER PRE-ORDER / SAVE: https://frostchildren.ffm.to/sister (July 1, 2025) - Following the announcement of their forthcoming album SISTER due September 12th via True Panther / Dirty Hit, Frost Children share the new single “Falling.” The new track delves into emotionally raw territory with the lyrics and blends that vulnerability with big pop hooks and ascending electronic production. “Falling” arrives with a music video directed by Lotus Blossom. SISTER will also include the previously shared single “CONTROL,” which blasted open the new era for the sibling duo and arrived with a video directed by Ben Turok.  Speaking about “Falling,” Frost Children share, “‘Falling’ is the double feeling of euphoric and melancholic, both of which seem to be glued together. The best part of dance is that you get to let go and leave whatever reality is in the shadows for a moment, and this song especially had that intention to feel like the euphoria was also an escape of something so real and so sad as your life falling apart in front of you, and wanting someone or something else to take that burden away and take you over.” SISTER is saturated in the golden age of EDM and blog house music that Angel and Lulu Prost grew up listening to at home in St. Louis. The forthcoming full-length delicately weaves strains of emo, electro, and pure pop sonics while exploring close-to-home themes of co-dependence, consistency, and change through their lyricism. The third full-length is an exhilarating return to those first sounds that moved them, echoing with the reverence and refinement of two formidable artists crafting exactly what they want to hear. But it’s also a striking portrait of Frost Children’s singular creative partnership: as bandmates, as roommates, as symbiotic savants well-versed in the art of what Angel calls “twin telepathy.” Boldly revitalizing and revolutionizing a too-often-devalued subgenre, Frost Children are delivering their most forthright and full-bodied identity statement yet. As Lulu puts it: "This is so confidently what we love, and what we breathe.”  The duo cut their teeth in the New York City nightlife scene, frequently performing well before they had a full-length project out. Those shows eventually led to the organization of their Frost Fest, which was a two-night extravaganza with performances from Danny Brown, Lip Critic, Nation, MGNA Crrrta, Feardorian, and Babymorocco. As their following grew, so did their creative community – collaborating with the likes of the aforementioned Porter Robinson, Danny Brown, Fever Ray, Thrilliam Angels, Eliminate, Dorian Electra, and Jane Remover over the last few years.  Frost Children bring that energy from the stage directly into the studio during their creative process. Their debut album SPEED RUN, released in 2023, is packed with propulsive power and cheeky lyricism. That same year, the duo released Hearth Room, showcasing their musical dexterity with stripped-down and acoustic tracks written in a wholesome manner alongside their parents. SISTER melds the sensitivity and songcraft of Hearth Room with the vigor of SPEED RUN and puts forward an arrestingly personal vision for modern dance music that transcends nostalgia and trend-chasing.  For the last few months, Frost Children have been bringing their explosive live show to stages around the globe – and it’s not over yet. The duo performed at Primavera in Spain, to which Billboard stated, “Taking a punt on a random act who turn out to be your new favorite artist is one of the greatest joys of festivals, and Frost Children will have been that for many this weekend,” Governors Ball in New York City, along with DJ sets in London and Toronto, and still have performances at Summerfest in Wisconsin, Piknic Electronik in Montreal, Pop Messe in Czechia, O days in Copenhagen, OFF Festival in Poland, and a Boiler Room set with The Dare, Hudson Mohawke and Avalon Emerson in Vancouver on the horizon.

Celebrated producer Tom Sharkett recently took it upon himself to do his own edit of LCD Soundsystem’s “Home,” reworking the classic cut from 2010’s This Is Happening purely out of love for the track and LCD Soundsystem. 

Sitting quietly online, Sharkett’s edit caught the attention of Flo Dill, Breakfast Show DJ on NTS Radio who played the track twice in one show.

This then caught the attention of the band and it wormed its way into their hearts and never left. As a result they felt there was only one thing they could do – make it official.

It is released digitally today – stream here

iyla Releases Video For New Single "Corset." Debut Album Weeping Angel Out August 8

IYLA REVEALS OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR “CORSET”   DEBUT ALBUM, WEEPING ANGEL TO BE RELEASED AUGUST 8 AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER/SAVE HERE

WATCH | LISTEN “CORSET”   Today, critically acclaimed alt-R&B artist iyla releases the official video for her latest single, “Corset.” The visual brings her WEEPING ANGEL album artwork to life—literally. iyla served as creative director for the video, working closely with director Justin Moser, together crafting a surreal, cinematic world that mirrors the emotional tension of the track. The video features Sasha Glasser on makeup and SFX, with additional makeup by Raylene Guzmán, and standout styling by Carlos Aviles. It’s a haunting, empowering statement piece that amplifies iyla’s boldest and most personal artistic era yet.   Watch the official video for “Corset” HERE.   The video arrives on the heels of iyla’s debut album announcement, WEEPING ANGEL, out August 8.Following the life-changing loss of her mother, the 13-track project channels grief into creative clarity and marks her most fearless work to date — a full-length debut shaped by pain, but defined by power.   “I’m proud of everything I’ve done, but this is different,” iyla reveals. “A lot of it is because of the grief journey I experienced after my mom died. Having your world crash down will change you. I’ve opened my eyes more. I’ve grown in myself as a woman. I always made music from my soul. I shared my blood, sweat, and tears, but I would previously wonder, ‘What will people think?’ I hope this resonates, but I feel less pressure about anybody else’s opinions. The fact I made this record in the most challenging time of my life is a pearl I’m so proud of. I’ve attained a level of confidence I didn’t have before.”   Pre-order WEEPING ANGEL HERE.   Her latest single “Corset,” was produced by longtime collaborator Kadis, capturing the emotional whiplash of a relationship that binds tight but never quite feels right. Threaded with vivid metaphors — a lover like a corset down her back, untied and peeled away — the song explores the seductive push-pull of desire, detachment, and self-preservation.   “I wrote ‘Corset’ to paint a picture of a situationship that feels more like restriction than romance… tight, binding, sultry, but ultimately suffocating,” says iyla. “As the song builds, I lure a lover back in with a siren call, only to send him away again — too clingy, too attached, and destined to be put to bed once again.”   Listen to “Corset” HERE. “Corset” follows a string of standout singles that have cemented iyla as one of modern R&B’s most compelling voices. From the sultry tension of “Wild” (named a Billboard R&B Fresh Pick), to the fiery empowerment of “Skirt Hurt (Redemption),” to the hypnotic energy of “Overboard” (praised by Uproxx as “hypnotic” and “spicy”), and the no-holds-barred bounce of “Strut” (lauded by Rated R&B and VIBE), iyla continues to evolve — sonically, emotionally, and unapologetically. And the gut-wrenching ballad “Blue Eyes,” written in her mother’s honor after her passing. That loss, both soul-shattering and clarifying, became the emotional catalyst for her forthcoming album WEEPING ANGEL, out August 8.   “Corset” is available everywhere you stream music today. Watch the official music video HERE.   WEEPING ANGEL, the debut full-length album from iyla is out August 8 – Pre-Order/Save HERE.
