The Flaming Lips :: The Teardrop Throbs

Another long time favorite and psychedelic rock legends The Flaming Lips are getting ready to release new album The Teardrop Throbs on January the 22nd, 2027. Our first taste from the new record is called 'God Will Control the Werewolves' and it is a slow sensual tune with quirky lyrics, horns and you know spaceship sounds. Classic Lips! Can't wait for the album to drop.

Check out 'God Will Control the Werewolves' below and a 2002 classic of theirs 'Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots' (I used to have an amazing poster of that album. Where did it go?!)

Junior Boys :: The Gore

Canadian electronic band and old time favorites Junior Boys (who we brought down to Miami many moons ago) are getting ready to release new album The Gore on February the 12th, 2027. Seems the album is themed around horror movies and nostalgia. Who doesn't like that? The first single from the album 'Underneath the Moon' is pretty experimental and dark with a repetitive groove. Curious to hear where the rest of the album will go. Will there be more vocals? We shall see.

For now check out their Poltergeist inspired video for 'Underneath the Moon'. 

Justice, Tame Impala, SZA & King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard :: Flower in a Hurricane (from GTA VI)

Can't say I've ever posted a track that I heard from a video game before, but that's exactly what happened with this track 'Flower in a Hurricane' that I first heard in a commercial for the new GTA VI video game coming out in November. The track had a great 80's vibe and a guitar riff they must have sampled from Dire Straits 80's classic "Money for Nothing" that immediately caught my attention, so I looked it up and lo and behold it was from Justice, Tame Impala and friends. Pretty crazy. Video game business is big business when they could get heavy weights like these to make music for their game. 

Anyways the tune is a jam and of course this game takes place in Miami so I had to post it. Hopefully they release an 80's inspired video for the track at some point.

She Wants Revenge :: Black Wax / Our Love

I was big fan of She Wants Revenge excellent self titled 2006 debut album which featured their big hit 'Tear You Apart' as well as many other great tracks. That whole record still holds up well and you can still hear 'Tear You Apart' being played at a goth party near you. Fast forward to 2026 and She Wants Revenge are getting ready to release their first new album in 16 years titled The Loved on February 2027. The first track they've released from it is called 'Black Wax/Our Love' and they still have that great dark signature sound of theirs. In other words, they still got it! Lead singer Justin Warfield's vocals still sound as great as ever. Can't wait to hear the rest of album.  

Check out their video for 'Black Wax/Our Love' and set up your clocks for that Feb release date.

MG x CD + JL = :: Cross Whisper

If you know me you me you know what a huge Depeche Mode fan I am. I got super excited when I heard a new single 'Cross Whisper' the other day that Martin Gore did with Cliff Damavandi which also features vocals from Martin Gore's daughter. They aptly named the project MG x CD + JL =.  Great electronic track that features vocals from Martin as well. They will be releasing a vinyl of the track with remixes in December. 

Check out that beaut below and hopefully there is more to come.
