AUDIO: T!ny – “Prada”

T!ny’s latest single blasts off with swagger and adrenaline. The hyperpop/hip hop fusion artist takes on sugar-rush production with this one, looking to live luxuriously and chasing the money, but being pursued by someone who’s trying to copy them/be them. You either get it or you don’t, T!ny says, cutting off anyone who doesn’t get the vision. T!ny flexes having

AUDIO: Hi-Milly – “HALO”

Hip hop/hyperpop artist Hi-Milly brings rambunctious energy with her latest single. Leaning into a trap, party side, Milly raps about getting so high that the ring appears above her head, then cutting off fake people who say they’ve got money but really don’t. “Penny pinching like Krabs” has got to be one of the hardest bars of the year, that’s

Detraction drifts off into dystopia with “More Songs About Rain.”

AUDIO: Bernadette – “Panic Songs”

Bernadette is the solo ambient project of post-punk duo Genau’s Chris Belkofer. His debut EP is out now, featuring two tracks that take the cold, gothic textures of Genau while removing the pop structures, creating no wave-adjacent soundscapes. Ominous guitar tones and droning tape loops conjure a bleak yet ensnaring atmosphere, like you’re exploring a vast underground cave with only

AUDIO: Soup Moat – “Soup Moat”

Soup Moat announced some time ago that the band is dissolving, but they weren’t going to throw the towel in before releasing a final, eponymous EP. They bring their sludgy, fuzzy, grungy rock and roll out in full force, unleashing four songs laden with shouted group vocals and booming riffage that accompany humorous lyrical themes such as National Packers Day
