Psych's favoured son Ripley Johnson of Wooden Shjips / Moon Duo teases the ecstasy of summer with his ode to the season and second solo album as Rose City Band.

Preorder Summerlong now

While the vocal treatment here would be instantly recognizable to any Wooden Shjips fan, Summerlong’s lean arrangements lay bare the beauty of Johnson’s songwriting, delivered with a distinct country-rock twang.

Essential listening at summer cookouts and long evenings out on the porch, grab yourself a copy on preorder so you're prepped and ready.

With just over a week to go until the release of their darkly magical new record We Love to Look at the Carnage, Wrekmeister Harmonies have shared the album’s opening track “Midnight to Six”.

Listen to "Midnight to Six"

Charting a restless journey beginning in the middle of the night and ending in the small hours of the morning, the track finds vocalist JR Robinson grappling with phantoms real and imagined, apparitions amplified by the feverish anxiety of insomnia. Delicate piano figures from multi-instrumentalist Esther Shaw open the track on a moment of relative calm, before it descends into a darkness amplified by subtle electronic flourishes from Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu) and Thor Harris’ steady churn of cymbal scrapes, thuds, and twinkling glockenspiel.

We Love to Look at the Carnage is available to pre-order now on limited-edition orange vinyl, CD and digital.

Ahead of the release of their debut album Grave of a Dog, the trio of Lee Buford (The Body), Kristin Hayter (Lingua Ignota) and Dylan Walker have shared two new singles, "Ocean of Mercy" and "Drunk on Marrow".

Listen to both tracks now

Together the songs showcase the trio's eclectic, diverse, and forward-thinking tastes, utilising samples of Rufai mystic rituals, contra bassoon, and explosive percussion.

Grave of a Dog is available to pre-order now on limited-edition translucent pink vinyl.

Much like the track itself, visual artist Sveta Rybkina's video takes the piano as a starting point and twists it into surprising new shapes, taking the instrument apart and reassembling it into a dizzying and ecstatic barrage of digital patterns.
