New Discoveries

One of the most talked about projects of 2026 has to be Steve Lacy’s Oh Yeah? Not to be confused with the lead off track of the same name His 2026 release sees Lacy potentially at his most introspective as he, just like the rest of us, navigates love in an increasingly complicated and digitizing world that prioritizes physical over emotional attraction.

What if a message from outer space arrived on Earth after 100,000 years and the only thing the aliens wanted to tell us was to “get down”? That’s the strange premise behind “Get Down,” the newest single from Brooklyn alternative rock icons They Might Be Giants.

Boston’s own Air Traffic Controller are back with the perfect summer anthem. Quietly making catchy indie pop for over a decade, the band is no stranger to creating the kind of songs you can’t help but keep coming back to. Their latest single proves they haven’t lost that magic.

Something that I have anticipated for what feels like years at this point is another album from one of my favorite bands of all time, Interpol. The New York-based band has one of my favorite sounds in the modern post-punk/alternative scene. On “See Out Loud,” and leading into their album, The Mirror Weighs A Ton, Interpol have refound the sound that made them one of rock’s best bands.

Steve Lacy is back once again with the release of his new single “The Feeling.” It reminds us exactly why he has become one of the most exciting voices in alternative R&B. The song blends dreamy synth, vulnerable lyricism, and the nostalgic atmosphere that has become synonymous with his music.

I think for most people my age we all had a phase where all we could listen to was Halsey. For me, as embarrassing as it is, it was the end of my eighth grade year going into freshman year of high school. With “Lucid” Halsey speaks directly to her fans both new and old, asking if this is the life they thought they would live. 

Lana Del Rey caught fans by surprise when she released her song First Light, the official theme song for the James Bond video game, 007: First Light. 

Australian indie-pop band Spacey Jane released their new song, “Do You Really Love Her,” on March 13, and I’ve had it on repeat ever since. The single leans into a hazy, echo-filled indie style reminiscent of the 80s, with soft synths and dreamy production.

In the newest album from the iconic band Gorillaz, there’s an incredibly well-produced song about the loss you feel when someone you love leaves in one way or another. The album, called The Mountain, was released in January, and much of it stems from a deep feeling of personal loss experienced by two band members, as well as a life-changing trip to India.
