M83 :: I Wrote You a Letter

French electronic artist M83 is getting ready to release new album I Wrote You a Letter on September the 25th. The first taste from the album is 'Blister Sunrise' which is a dense shoegazey type of track. Curious to see if the rest of the album will go in this direction. 

Check out 'Blister Sunrise' below.

The Drums + Mareux :: It Didn't Matter

It had been awhile since I heard NYC's The Drums. I was super into their 2010 track 'Let's Go Surfing' back in the days when indie was king. Cut to 2026 and heard this new single from them 'It Didn't Matter' that they did with Mareux the other day and I instantly recognized his voice. Great new single that sounds pretty different from 'Let's Go Surfing' (more on the pop side), but still a solid track. Thought I'd post that for you guys to check out. 

The Avalanches :: No Bad Memory

Legendary Australian electronic act The Avalanches have announced their fourth studio album No Bad Memory being released October the 16th. I was obsessed with 2000's Since I Left You with all those amazing samples. Seems the new album is gonna have 31 tracks?! That is a lot of tracks for an album, but I have noticed all the tracks they've released so far are very short, plus I'm sure they will have plenty of sample snippets sprinkled throughout the album so that may be the reason for that. So far they've released some collabs they've done with Karen O from Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Jamie XX. That's a pretty impressive start!  

Check out a couple of those new tunes below and if you like what you hear they have two more tracks to hold you off on Apple Music.

Fontaines D.C. :: Dopamine Chamber

Irish rock band Fontaines D.C. that I have loved since 2022's Skinty Fia recently announced new album Dopamine Chamber which is being released October the 16th. I keep hearing the new record will be more electronic / Depeche Mode like with less guitars. The first taste of the record first single 'Marianne' definitely supports this hypothesis without totally leaving behind their trademark style. It is sooo good! I cannot wait to hear this album from this band that only seems to be getting bigger with each passing year.

Check out the video for 'Marianne' below then set your calendars for this October release.

Genesis Owuso :: Human Again

Been into Australian artist Genesis Owuso for a few years now. He has such a great vibe. Recently he released new single 'Human Again' that is pretty much fire! Super poppy indie dance jam that will hook you in no time flat, that chorus with female vocals is oh so good. 

Check out the video for 'Human Again' below and if you like what you hear you should definitely dig deeper into his catalog.
