bdrmm - "Hidden Cinema"

UK shoegaze act bdrmm's second record is the fantastic I Don't Know. "Hidden Cinema" is a quietly dramatic song about looking back at your mistakes and striving to learn from them. 

bar italia - "Real house wibes (desperate house vibes)"

From bar italia's second album this year, The Twits, "Real house wibes (desperate house vibes)" is a ramshackle guitar explosion that sounds like Pavement hanging out with Sonic Youth.

Ian Sweet - "Sucker"

The title song to Ian Sweet's (aka Jilian Medford) latest album is a wondrous mix of fuzzy guitars, killer melodies, and a forlorn piano line. 

PinkPantheress - "Feel Complete"

PinkPatheress's feather-light voice flutters over strings, acoustic guitars, and hip-hop beats. 

House of Harm - "Roseglass"

Boston synthpop act House of Harm throws on its best Depeche Mode leather jackets on this ultra-catchy single off their upcoming album Playground.

Isabelle Adjani ft. David Sylvian - "Il Manque Un Mot"

French cinematic icon Isabelle Adjani finally completed her album of duets, Bande Originale. It's a concept album about the cycle of relationships from one breakup to the next. Her duet with former Japan frontman David Sylvian was formally completed in 2010 but is now finally seeing the light. The album features other contributors such as Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran, and Peter Murphy of Bauhaus.

Mannequin Pussy - "I Don't Know You"

Off Mannequin Pussy's upcoming record I Got Heaven, "I Don't Know You" starts off softly, with subtle bass, hushed drums, and a delicate keyboard line. It all erupts soon with washes of shoegaze guitars. The song is about the electricity you feel when you meet someone new.

MGMT - "Mother Nature"

The first single from MGMT's upcoming record Loss of Life is the sunny, Beatle-esque track "Mother Nature." It's quite lovely and warm. 

Hotline TNT - "BMX"

Hotline YNT's album Cartwheel is a monstrously catchy collection of shoegaze-inflected college rock; think My Bloody Valentine meets The Replacements. "BMX" is a gauzy haze of blistering guitars.

Drop Nineteens - "Tarantula"

From Hard Light, Drop Nineteens' first album in 30 years, "Tarantula" is a rush of guitars and propulsive drums. 

Mount Kimbie - "Dumb Guitar"

Mount Kimbie is back with the dreamy new single called "Dumb Guitar," about a doomed relationship. The duo is now officially a quartet and will be touring in spring 2024. 

The Serfs - "Club Deuce"

Cincinnati synth-punks The Serfs' third record Half-Eaten By Dogs is packed with raging bangers but also has some more atmospheric moments, like the hypnotic track "Club Deuce." 

Nathan Fake - "NWI"

Funky, slamming electro track from Nathan Fake's new EP called Guiro.
