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. 

Interpol :: This Mirror Weighs a Ton

Saw NYC indie legends Interpol earlier this year in concert here in Miami. They were amazing as always! At the time we did not have word on a new album, but since then they have announced new album This Mirror Weighs a Ton being released August the 28th. Been hearing "See Out Loud" being played on satellite radio a ton and I get excited every time it comes on. Starts with a bang to their trademark indie sound. Can't wait to hear the whole thing!

Check out "See Out Loud" plus title track "This Mirror Weighs a Ton" below to hold us off till that August 28th release date. 

Nouvelle Vague :: A Date with Depeche Mode

French bossa nova band Nouvelle Vague are getting ready to release a covers album A Date with Depeche Mode on October the 30th. In it they cover 13 tracks from these synthpop legends from the ones you'd expect to hear ("Enjoy the Silence", "Personal Jesus") to more obscure tracks like ("Ice Machine", "Leave in Silence"). The first taste we've gotten so far from the album is for "Enjoy the Silence" and "Never Let Me Down Again". Loving both of the covers! I will definitely be playing these out at home. Super chill and soothing renditions.

Check out those two tracks below, then be sure to mark your calenders for that Oct 30th release date.
