Numero Group is finally giving Majesty Crush their flowers with Butterflies Don’t Go Away, an upcoming double-lp collection commemorating the oft-overlooked shoegazers’ beloved discography.
Majesty Crush formed in Detroit in 1990 and were opening for bands like Mazzy Star and Royal Trux shortly thereafter. After a few smaller releases, including 1992’s Fan EP, the quartet signed with Elektra subsidiary Dali Records. But when Dali folded less than a month after putting out Majesty Crush’s sole LP Love 15, their bright future burned out fast.
Out March 29th, Butterflies Don’t Go Away compiles all of Majesty Crush’s material, from Love 15 to various singles to the Fan EP (the latter of which will be available digitally for the very first time on February 20th). Pre-orders for the double-lp are ongoing, and as a preview, Numero and Majesty Crush have shared the Fan EP version of one of their best-known tracks,...

Kacey Musgraves has released a studio version of the oft-covered Bob Marley and The Wailers classic “Three Little Birds.” Her rendition is for Reinaldo Marcus Green’s upcoming biopic Bob Marley: One Love.
Musgraves wisely didn’t try to replicate Marley’s roots reggae instrumentation here. Instead, she used his melodies and evergreen lyrics over a gentle acoustic guitar strum, some minimal drums, and a pedal steel. It’s all blanketed in heavy reverb, staying authentic to the comforting quality of the original song while making it her own.
“Three Little Birds” is just one of six Marley covers on an eponymous EP accompanying One Love. That’ll also feature Leon Bridges, Daniel Caesar, Bloody Civilian, Jessie Reyez, Wizkid, and Bob’s grandson Skip Marley. Stream Musgraves’ contribution and then see the full EP tracklist below.

Universal Pictures has shared the official trailer for Monkey Man, the directorial debut of Dev Patel. Produced by Jordan Peele, the action thriller comes swinging into theaters on April 5th.
Inspired in part by the tale of the strong-willed Hindu deity Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an everyman whose mother was murdered at the hands of his country’s corrupt and uber-wealthy leaders. He earns his living by participating in an underground fight club, wearing a gorilla mask as he gets bludgeoned by more seasoned fighters.
The official logline reads: “After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.”

Brittany Howard has shared another single, “Prove It to You,” ahead of her upcoming studio album What Now.
“My next song is one I’m really proud of,” Howard captioned a TikTok teasing the song last week. “It’s different than anything I’ve ever done but felt like a cornerstone of the new record. The band and I are excited to perform this one live for you all.”
On “Prove It to You,” which Howard co-produced with returning collaborator Shawn Everett, the Alabama Shakes singer goes full-on house. It’s backed by a chugging four-on-the-floor beat and a deep, heavy bass, as Howard takes on the persona of a disco diva: “Every time I try it comes out incomplete,” she sings, lamenting her inability to adequately express her love for her partner. “All I wanna do is prove it to you.”
Watch the lyric video for “Prove It to You” below.

Sunny Day Real Estate just announced a 30th anniversary tour for their seminal debut album Diary, and the emo heroes are keeping up the excitement with the release of “Novum Vetus,” their first new song in 10 years.
Though “Novum Vetus” is “new,” its origins go way back to just after the Diary era, having first been conceived of while Sunny Day Real Estate were recording 1998’s How It Feels to Be Something On. Original members Jeremy Enigk, Dan Hoerner, and William Goldsmith decided to bring the song into Seattle’s renowned London Bridge Studio, fleshing it out into a seven-minute epic with Greg Suran and Chris Jordan.
While in the studio, Sunny Day Real Estate also laid down a live, track-by-track re-recording of Diary, which is out May 3rd. Pre-orders are now ongoing. For now, stream “Novum Vetus” below.

Doug Liman says he’s boycotting the South by Southwest premiere of his new movie, the Jake Gyllenhaal-starring Road House, following Amazon MGM Studios’ decision to skip a theatrical release and send it right to Prime Video.
“When Road House opens the SXSW film festival, I won’t be attending,” the director wrote in a new guest column for Deadline. “The movie is fantastic, maybe my best, and I’m sure it will bring the house down and possibly have the audience dancing in their seats during the end credits. But I will not be there. My plan had been to silently protest Amazon’s decision to stream a movie so clearly made for the big screen. But Amazon is hurting way more than just me and my film.”

Squid have shared a new single called “Fugue (Bin Song),” an outtake from the sessions of their recent sophomore album O Monolith.
After implementing it into their live performances over the past few years, Squid recorded “Fugue (Bin Song)” in spring 2022 as they were making O Monolith alongside their longtime collaborator Dan Carey at Peter Gabriel’s Real World studio. After its initial iteration didn’t make the cut on the record, Tortoise’s John McEntire re-mixed and edited the tune in late 2023, resulting in the version we hear today.
At nearly five and a half minutes, “Fugue” is a wandering jam that draws from elements of dance punk, post rock, and noise pop. You can hear a bit of McEntire’s influence as the song culminates into a furious coda, almost like “TNT” with a lot more shredding. Stream it below.

Matthew Houck of Phosphorescent has announced his new album Revelator, out April 5th and marking his debut for Verve Records. As a preview, he’s also shared the record’s title track.
Houck self-produced Revelator and recorded it in his own Nashville studio over the course of six months. It features collaborators including Jack Lawrence of The Raconteurs and Jim White of Dirty Three, as well as Houck’s partner, singer-songwriter/pianist Jo Schornikow. The album is billed as an exploration of “unspoken truths that come with the gravity of navigating home, partnership, and family,” contemplating the dark sides bubbling beneath one’s seemingly idyllic life.
Houck says that he considers “Revelator” to be perhaps the best song he’s ever written. “You’ve ridden beyond where you can safely touch down/ And you’re out in the void past where you could’ve had turned around,” he sings over an expectedly dreamy instrumental.

The key word here being “single,” so, why are there so many versions of the song on streaming platforms? On Spotify, there are eight versions of the track filed into a single “album.” It’s a bit less obvious on iTunes, where each version of the track is organized as a separate single — that is, until you go to the overall bestselling tracks, and realize that 14 slightly different versions of “yes, and?” are currently floating around the top 100 spots.
So, what the hell is going on here?

Ariana Grande has announced her seventh studio album, eternal sunshine, set for release on March 8th via Republic.
Arriving three and a half years after 2020’s Positions, eternal sunshine marks the end of the longest break Grande has ever taken between subsequent studio records. Though the pop star has yet to share many additional details behind the album, it’s worth noting that eternal sunshine will be released almost 20 years to the day since the premiere of Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; the psychological romantic drama stars Jim Carrey, of whom Grande is quite the fan.
It’s also safe to assume eternal sunshine will include last week’s comeback single “yes, and?,” which Grande co-wrote and co-produced with Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh. See the artwork for the album below.

Though the pop star has yet to share many additional details behind the album, it’s worth noting that eternal sunshine will be released almost 20 years to the day since the premiere of Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; the psychological romantic drama stars Jim Carrey, of whom Grande is quite the fan.
It’s also safe to assume eternal sunshine will include last week’s comeback single “yes, and?,” which Grande co-wrote and co-produced with Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh. See the artwork for the album below.

Kim Gordon has announced her second solo studio album. The Collective is out on March 8th via Matador, and the Sonic Youth musician is celebrating the news with the lead single “Bye Bye” as well as a batch of 2024 tour dates.
Gordon’s follow-up to her 2019 debut No Home Record brought her back to producer Justin Raisen, whose knack for dub and hip-hop leaning beats intermingle with Gordon’s best-in-class rock songwriting.
Those colliding genres are especially evident on the rumbling, ear-splitting “Bye Bye.” You would probably never guess it was a Kim Gordon song until her droning voice comes in, rattling off what sounds like her to-do list before a big trip: “Buy a suitcase, take pants to the cleaner,” she raps. “Call the vet, call the groomer/ Call the dog sitter.”
Before long, roaring guitars come in, almost as if signaling anxiety about travel — or something more sinister.

Kali Uchis has shared her new album Orquídeas, her fourth studio album overall and her second sung entirely in Spanish.
Orquídeas includes the previously released singles “Muñekita” featuring El Alfa and City Girls’ Jt, “Te Mata,” and “Labios Mordidos” featuring Karol G. Other collaborators on the 14-track album include Peso Pluma, and Rauw Alejandro, as well as her real-life partner Don Toliver, with whom she just revealed she’s expecting her first child in the new music video for “Tu Corazón Es Mío / Diosa.”
Orquídeas translates to “orchid,” and Uchis explained the significance of the album’s botanical title in a statement: “The orchid is the national flower of Colombia, and we have more species of orchid than anywhere on earth,” she said. “I always felt distinctly intrigued and magnetized by the flower. This album is inspired by the timeless, eerie, mystic, striking, graceful, and sensual allure of the orchid.

Noted Ohioans The Black Keys have announced their 12th studio album, Ohio Players, which comes out April 5th via Nonesuch Records. Its lead single, “Beautiful People (Stay High),” is streaming now.
The follow-up to 2022’s Dropout Boogie, Ohio Players boasts an impressive list of collaborators. Among the guest stars are Noel Gallagher, Greg Kurstin, Dan “The Automator” Nakamura, and Beck, the latter two of whom co-wrote “Beautiful People (Stay High)” along with The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney. Pre-orders for the album are ongoing.
Backed by rollicking drums and a rock ‘n’ roll piano, “Beautiful People” is a soulful ode to hedonism with a chorus that gleefully proclaims: “All of those beautiful people stay high.” Its accompanying lyric video feels straight out of the 1960s, playing to the song’s retro vibe with grainy, black-and-white footage and plenty of mid-century digs.

“Omg,” Suki Waterhouse is back with a new single.
Waterhouse has been teasing “Omg” — which she co-wrote with Natalie Findlay — on social media for about a week now. But it took a while for the shimmering pop-rock tune to get off the ground: “We started half the song and then put it to the side,” Waterhouse told Rolling Stone. “We were like, ‘It’s not working.’ And then two months went by and we were back in the studio, and suddenly this chorus came out with this energy around it.”
Taking cues from electric synth-pop and the garage rock revival, “Omg” is a bit vengeful and very full of attitude: “You know I only tried to play your games/ So you cannot forget my name,” she belts on that aforementioned energetic chorus. The music video, directed by Émilie Richard-Froozan, features Waterhouse in Edith Piaf-inspired glam — and gives us a glimpse of her growing baby bump.

Paul Thomas Anderson is writing, directing, and producing an upcoming film from Warner Bros. starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Regina Hall.
Deadline reports that details about the currently untitled project are largely being kept under wraps for now. What we do know is that it’ll be a modern-day story featuring a big ensemble cast, and will mark Anderson’s “most commercial” project to date, with a hefty budget to match.
Stay tuned here for information about the film as it comes.
DiCaprio recently starred in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, while Penn appeared in the medical drama Black Flies. Anderson’s last full-length feature was 2021’s Licorice Pizza, and he also teamed up with The Smile for Wall of Eyes, On Film, a cinematic event premiering later this month.

Water from Your Eyes have shared a cover of Ween’s “If You Could Save Yourself (You’d Save Us All),” as part of Sounds of Saving’s “Songs That Found Me at The Right Time” series.
The CoSign alums picked the 2003 track to cover in part because of how relatable it was to vocalist Rachel Brown. “The reason that I even started making music by myself was ’cause I was really mentally unwell, but I didn’t really know how to communicate,” they explained in a Q&a accompanying the release. “I was like really depressed and suicidal for most of high school. I spent a lot of time thinking that there was no other option besides to have terrible thoughts that ruined my day…I just started writing songs ’cause it was like the only place that felt appropriate to be expressing the things that I was thinking about.

Fox News’ latest insane conspiracy theory is that Taylor Swift is being used as a Pentagon “psyop” to swing young voters towards Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election. No, really.
Tuesday night’s (January 9th) episode of Jesse Watters Primetime aired a clip from what host Watters insinuated was a recent meeting between the Pentagon and NATO to discuss online misinformation: “Social influence can help encourage or promote behavior change,” said the woman presenting in the clip. “So, potentially as a peaceful information operation… I include Taylor Swift in here because she’s, you know, a fairly influential online person.”
“Yeah, that’s real,” Watters said after the clip ended. “Pentagon’s psyop unit pitched NATO on turning Taylor Swift into an asset.” As Newsweek points out, however, the clip was actually from a 2019 cyber security conference organized by NATO — before Swift even endorsed Biden in the 2020 election.

Saltburn had a happy ending for Sophie Ellis-Bextor, whose “Murder on the Dancefloor” just debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 over 20 years after its initial release. Cruising in at No. 98, the song marks Ellis-Bextor’s first-ever entry on the chart.
The piqued interest in “Murder on the Dancefloor” can certainly be credited to the song’s inclusion in Emerald Fennell’s comedy thriller Saltburn late last year. The 2001 dance-pop tune soundtracks the film’s unforgettable closing scene, during which Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan) gleefully dances by himself, butt-ass naked.
“Murder on the Dancefloor” has since become a viral TikTok sound, backing hundreds of thousands of videos of fans doing their own dances — albeit usually clothed. Ellis-Bextor herself even joined the fun on her personal TikTok account, posting a video of herself dancing to the song in a very Saltburn-like outfit. See that below.

We worked with Andrew Watt, who’s a younger pop producer-type guy, but he’s really a rock guy at heart — I think we’re his favorite band.

Sleater-Kinney have shared “Untidy Creature,” another single from their upcoming album Little Rope.
“Untidy Creature” is a slower pace than the average Sleater-Kinney tune, but it keeps up the energy with a cacophony of booming electric guitars: “And it feels like we were broken/ And I’m holding the pieces so tight/ And you can try to tell me I’m nothing/ And I don’t have the wings to fly.”
“‘Untidy Creature’ was the first song we wrote for Little Rope, although we didn’t know it at the time; we weren’t certain we were even working on another record,” the band said in a press release. “We also worried it had come too easy, the song featured two elements that come very naturally to Sleater-Kinney: a big guitar riff, an even bigger vocal. But as the year wore on, and our choices and bodily autonomy shrank, our feeling about the song changed.
“Untidy Creature” is a slower pace than the average Sleater-Kinney tune, but it keeps up the energy with a cacophony of booming electric guitars: “And it feels like we were broken/ And I’m holding the pieces so tight/ And you can try to tell me I’m nothing/ And I don’t have the wings to fly.”

Alanis Morissette appeared on a recent episode of PBS’ Finding Your Roots, during which the singer discovered that her great-uncles, Gyorgy and Sandor Feuerstein, died in the Holocaust.
Morissette already knew that her Hungarian Jewish grandfather, Imre Feuerstein, miraculously survived the Holocaust before relocating his family — including Morissette’s then-six-year-old mother — from the Soviet Union to Ontario, Canada in 1953. They decided to keep their Jewish heritage a secret from then on, so the “Ironic” singer had no idea she was Jewish until she was 28.
“I think there was a terror that is in their bones, and they were being protective of us and not wanting antisemitism,” Morissette said of the Feuersteins. “They were protecting us, keeping us in the dark around it.”
As for Gyorgy and Sandor, it was long believed that the two had disappeared during the Holocaust after being forced into a work battalion in Russia. But, as...

Maggie Rogers teased an upcoming new song in a post she shared to social media on New Year’s Day.
“See you in 2024,” Rogers captioned a screen-recorded clip of what appears to be “Don’t Forget Me,” a song she’s tested out in a handful of recent live performances (including at Newport Folk Festival in 2023) and in a TikTok last summer. “So close the door and change the channel/ Give me somethin’ I can handle/ A good lover or someone that’s nice to me,” she belts in the chorus over some twangy, fingerpicked strings.
Rogers didn’t clarify a release date aside from it arriving sometime in 2024, so that could mean any day now. Stream the preview of “Don’t Forget Me” below.
Rogers’ last album was 2022’s Surrender, and in January, she teamed up with Zach Bryan on his single “Dawns.”

Ratboys made their much-deserved national TV debut over the weekend on CBS Saturday Sessions, where the Chicago indie rockers performed their songs “The Window,” “Morning Zoo,” and “It’s Alive.”
All three songs come from Ratboys’ recent album The Window, which we just crowned one of the best albums of 2023. Their performance backs up that claim, with vocalist Julia Steiner sounding just as pristine in CBS’ live studio as she does on tape.
Watch Ratboys perform “The Window,” “Morning Zoo,” and “It’s Alive” below.
Steiner also recently chatted with Consequence‘s Kyle Meredith for an episode of the Kyle Meredith With… podcast, where she discussed The Window and working with producer Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie.

Alanis Morissette was a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Friday (December 15th), where the self-proclaimed Wham! superfan performed her own take on “Last Christmas.”
Morissette recorded a cover of “Last Christmas” for her new holiday-themed EP of the same name, which also features “Little Drummer Boy,” “What Child Is This,” and “Happy Xmas (War Is Over).” For her Wham! tribute on Fallon, she stayed faithful to George Michael’s 1984 original, her distinct mezzo-soprano seamlessly fitting into its melody.
Morissette also sat down for an interview with Fallon, where the pair discussed her upcoming “The Triple Moon Tour” with Joan Jett, being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with a speech from Olivia Rodrigo, and a questionable impression of Morissette that Fallon performed on SNL many years ago. Watch it all below.

Cher has joined the crop of fellow artists who’ve made their distaste for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame abundantly clear, saying in a recent interview that the folks behind the organization “can just go you-know-what themselves.”
The pop legend was a guest on a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, during which host Clarkson pointed out that Cher has No. 1 hits spanning seven decades — a milestone she shares only with The Rolling Stones.
“It took four of them to be one of me,” Cher said with a laugh. “And I’m not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! You know what, I wouldn’t be in it now if they gave me a million dollars. I’m not kidding you. I was about to say something else — I was about to say I’m not shitting you. I’m never changing my mind. They can just go you-know-what themselves.

Rivers Cuomo has hinted at some big touring plans for Weezer in honor of the upcoming 30th anniversary of their debut LP, The Blue Album.
Weezer notably didn’t celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album, which originally came out in 1994. But now, Cuomo in particular seems adamant on giving it its flowers, according to a new interview with Collider: “We are going to give it its due respect and come out with a really amazing deluxe package with a bunch of additional material, and of course, we’ve gotta do some kind of epic tour,” he said.
Weezer do already have some tour dates booked for the new year, including a handful of co-headlining dates in the UK with Smashing Pumpkins (which you can get tickets for at Viagogo) and an appearance at Shaky Knees Festival. Cuomo not-so-subtly hinted that there are more shows to come: “There’s...

Alvvays stopped by the NPR office for their long-awaited Tiny Desk Concert, performing just a handful of highlights off their still-fantastic 2022 album Blue Rev.
Even if you’ve only heard just one Alvvays song, it’s easy to tell that the band’s studio recordings and live performances both usually implement some really heavy reverb and other vocal effects. But their concert at the Tiny Desk — where such embellishments are usually frowned upon — proves that although those stylistic choices do sound nice, vocalist Molly Rankin certainly doesn’t need to hide any flaws.
The recent first-time Grammy nominees opened their four-song set with an impossibly massive rendition of “Belinda Says,” before Rankin gave some words of gratitude (and a subtle apology): “We’ve not worked up the courage to do this until today,” she said with a nervous giggle.
That lack of courage was undetectable as Alvvays ripped through “Pressed,...

The wait for VW5 is almost over: Vampire Weekend have confirmed that their next album is “done.”
Back in June, Vampire Weekend announced a new vinyl series in which they’d be sharing exclusive live LPs along with accompanying newsletters. In that first newsletter, the band wrote that their upcoming project was “close to done.” Now, in an edition shared on Thursday (December 14th), bassist Chris Baio wrote that, “LP5 Is Done.”
Baio didn’t go into much more detail on what to expect from the record itself, but he did reflect on recently hosting the “first ever Vampire Weekend Corporate Retreat” along the coast of Southern Oregon, and it seems like the band cooked up some good ideas along the way.
“It was a dream to show my guys around a region of the country I have fallen in love with over the past few years,” Baio wrote. “We...

Paramount has shared the official trailer for If, the upcoming fantasy-comedy film directed by John Krasinski.
“If,” in this case, stands for “imaginary friend,” and the film follows a girl (Cailey Fleming) who discovers that she can see these metaphysical creatures in the flesh. The bad news is that many of them have been forgotten by their real-life companions who’ve now grown up, and it’s on the young heroine — with a little adult supervision from Ryan Reynolds — to save them.
If boasts a star-studded cast, including Krasinski, Louis Gossett Jr., Bobby Moynihan, and Fiona Shaw, along with the voices of Steve Carell, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Awkwafina, Vince Vaughn, Sam Rockwell, Maya Rudolph, Richard Jenkins, and many more.
If arrives in theaters May 17th, 2024, and you can watch the trailer below.

With Greta Gerwig’s Barbie having proven how lucrative Doll Cinema can be, Mattel is further cashing in: The company and Paramount have teamed up to develop a feature film based on their historical American Girl dolls.
Lindsey Anderson Beer, who most recently wrote the Stephen King spinoff film Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, is set to write and produce the as-yet-untitled American Girl movie: “Growing up, my sister and I were American Girl girls,” Beer said in a statement (via The Hollywood Reporter). “They didn’t feel like dolls to play with, rather real people whose worlds we got to imagine ourselves in. They are historically accurate toys and accessories that feature elaborate and immersive backstories uniquely suited to bring to screen.”
The ever-rotating line of American Girl dolls features characters each set in their own specific era of American history. They launched in 1986 with Samantha, an orphan raised by her...
