Two new Liily songs, one video shot in a homemade Ames room. "FOREVER" floods glitchy nerves with distortion, "EVERYDAY" breaks into a huge chorus. First music on Atlantic.

@stereobar.netEx:Re's "Sleep" started as a demo in a Paris hotel room, and that guitar is still in there: looped, vocodered, over a drum machine, like a party through the wall. Save As out Oct 30.
@stereobar.netJohn Glacier's most direct track yet. "Lights" puts bells and winding synths over skittering drums, and she looks at life on camera in a voice that makes the surreal sound ordinary. Out now.
@stereobar.netGhost Funk Orchestra plug the fuzz back in. "Leave Me Alone" is garage-rock guitars, spacey Wurlitzer and Camellia Hartman telling someone exactly where to go. Album out Dec 4.

@stereobar.netGarbage man, landlord, a kid coming out on the stairs: BALACLAVA's "WHAT A REGULAR DAY" is a sitcom on fast-forward, recorded in a Queens basement in one day. Lo-fi punk, sharper than it lets on.
@stereobar.netBonnie Bloomgarden lost her home in the Eaton Fire. "How Losing Everything in the Fire Taught Me to Love Myself" is the comeback: fuzz, sax, a crowd singing in unison. Album out Friday.

@stereobar.netJoe Stevens shelved "Blind Faith" after take upon take, then cracked it with The Eraser and The Books in mind. A song about a mind stuck in bad habits. Expanded Taurus out Nov 11, on vinyl.

@stereobar.netAlex Burey ran all of "Chocolate" through a pitch shifter and dropped it low: soft drums, warm sax, a tender vocal. Best bit is the climbing sax harmony. Half-Light EP out Nov 13.
@stereobar.netA woman sure of her own purity, until she meets the monster inside. Sheherazaad wrote "Pakeezah" in Lucknow's Mughal ruins, about purity culture and caste. Debut album out Nov 20.
@stereobar.netBibi Club cover Lhasa De Sela's "J'arrive à la ville", her song about a great-grandfather arriving in Marseille from Lebanon, quicker and brighter, and aimed at today's hostility toward immigrants.
@stereobar.netA live favourite finally on record. Madra Salach's "Ribbon Factory" runs on a conveyor-belt guitar, mandolin and harmonium, and climbs until it crushes. Recorded in New York with Loren Humphrey.
@stereobar.netHMLTD call "Umami" the closest they've come to a club track. Bloghouse and eurotrash synths, one night told in flashes, and a vampire bite on the dancefloor. From FANGS, out Oct 23.
@stereobar.netA girl rehearses confronting the man who abused her, and someone keeps calling cut. PISS's "blocking a scene you can't remember" builds from near silence to a heavy slow-core surge. Debut album out Oct 30.
@stereobar.netPorchlight's "Topsoil" lives on the ledge between standing still and moving on: a snake at the threshold, a stall at the junction, a storm that won't break. All nerve, no certainty.
@stereobar.netIggy Pop wrote it, sings it and gets crude in the first line. Mogwai answer with a tornado of guitar noise straight from their punk side. "Underground" is on Happy Tears, out Jan 8.

@stereobar.netRototoms, a racing drum machine and a heartbroken vocal. Art Feynman's "Down With Heaven" writes off paradise as a cheap fantasy, with a video shot entirely on LiDAR scanners. Out now on Western Vinyl.
@stereobar.netSharp guitar stabs, Rebecca Allan at her most sardonic, and a song about working out who your people are. Delivery's "Measuring Cup" opens Zone 3, out Feb 26 on Heavenly Recordings.
@stereobar.netAl Doyle plays everything on "Hard Times In America" except the Korg Delta, that's James Murphy. A US travel diary with the dread turned up, sung in his own voice at last. From Hollywood Saviour, out Nov 20.
@stereobar.netA gift left for an old friend, a flaw owned up to, a circle of friends bound for life. Pit Pony's "The Present" is softer and wider than "Thunder", recorded with Jackie Purver seven months pregnant.
@stereobar.netEighteen minutes, five singers, one refusal. Archive's "Not In My Name" traces colonialism from empire to drone war and turns the title into a flat no. Title track of their 14th album, out March 19, 2027. go.stereobar.net/2b1z2jr #Archive #BestNewMusic2026
