Spoon delivered an electric performance Thursday at the Palladium in support of their new album, “Lucifer on the Sofa.” It included an apt cover of John Lennon’s “Isolation,” songs from the album and swaggering takes on their hits.
Soaring through the misty memories of a love affair, “Taste the Rain” is the first release from Fatal Jamz in more than five years. It follows a series of equally glam-tastic solo releases by singer Marion Belle, whose arching chorus here is the stuff of dancehall dreams.
Trapdoor Social, with their sophomore album in the works, return with the keen single “Prophit,” which features Fred Schneider of the B-52s.
With the release of “Nervous at Night,” 22-year-old Charlie Hickey has passed the debut-album milestone. “It feels like the first thing that I’ve put out that I really feel like I can stand behind,” the singer-songwriter says in a chat about the record, out via Phoebe Bridgers’ Saddest Factory label.
Chinese-Icelandic singer-songwriter Laufey marries jazz, classical and pop sensibilities in her music, which will be on full display when the L.A.-based artist releases her debut album “Everything I Know About Love,” out Aug. 26.
Songs from Trapdoor Social, Fatal Jamz, Lauren Ruth Ward, No Win, Near Beer, Cayucas, Rare Hearts, Los Saints, Sudan Archives, Starcrawler, Kid Bloom and much more in tonight’s local music hour on 88.5 FM.
Set times are here for the three-day Outloud Raising Voices Music Festival, part of this weekend’s massive WeHo Pride celebration.
Possible Oceans’ debut album, “Death by Misadventure,” is out July 29. Its dark, cinematic space-rock casts a steely glare at world problems — as in the video for the single “Throw the Knife (Again).”
A newlywed couple endures a moment of matrimonial discord in the video for Near Beer’s new song, “Mixtape Generation.” It’s a fast-and-furious punk-rocker that speaks to losing one’s youth in the most youthful way possible — and the latest single from the L.A. trio’s forthcoming debut album.
No Win today announced the August arrival of their sophomore album, “Dodger Stadium.” The trio’s new single “Surfing” asks, “Why is it so hard to live in these modern times?” Meet the new question, same as the old question.
