<p>A new soundtrack for anyone still making those “liminal spaces” videos on social media just dropped, courtesy of Sex Week. The Brooklyn duo of Pearl Amanda Dickson and Richard Orofino have brewed a dense fog of alt-pop with their new single “Coat,” the group’s first release since their 2024 self-titled album. Falling into “Coat” feels like stumbling through an unsettling dream; it’s familiar, but not recognizable — calm, but not exactly comforting. That eeriness is the tune’s secret weapon, luring listeners back […]</p>

<p>“LIC,” the new single from Wooll, technically isn’t a sonnet. And per the Providence band, the tune’s sound doesn’t fit squarely under “shoegaze” — they instead hear it as “shoegaze-adjacent.” But damn if “LIC” isn’t the closest thing to a shoegaze sonnet we’ll ever hear. The new song — which is short for “left in circles” — is a melancholic twister that’s laced with heart-piercing lines (peep the potency of the near-Shakespearean observation “sweetness realized much too late”). “LIC” follows […]</p>

<p>Around these parts, we simply love a good O’Connor comeback story. So we’re excited and intrigued by the return of Charlotte OC, the English singer-songwriter who not only resurfaces with an elegantly dramatic new single in “God, We Tried,” which already feels like one of 2025’s best, but also reveals some personal setbacks that allow proper view to this enchanting new release. “God, We Tried” dropped on Wednesday (March 19) via Embassy of Music, and sets up a new EP […]</p>

The record will be played in full, from “Wilma’s Rainbow” to “Sam Hell,” alongside some […]</p>
