Pulsejet Studios and Björk Partner for Remastering and Creation of VR Experiences From ‘Vulnicura’ Studio Album

PulseJet Studios, San Francisco’s leading VR music studio, is excited to announce a new virtual reality experience in the works with Icelandic singer-songwriter, Björk. The PulseJet team is remastering the content from her Vulnicura VR experience, first released in 2019.

“We think Björk has the formula right. She took the album concept and doubled down on the investment to make an incredible artistic experience for her fans,” said John Gearty, founder and CEO of PulseJet Studios. “Björk brings you into her world both literally and figuratively with some scenes from Iceland and some completely imagined. This is exactly the next-level vision we see for artists as they discover the creative possibilities in VR.”

Currently, the PulseJet app has a growing number of VR experiences for music fans to enjoy.

PulseJet is taking the concept of a VR music album, pioneered by Björk, and expanding with other genres and artists. The platform is built to support VR music in a way that re-invokes the album business model in hopes that artists have a new way of making money.

Remastering Vulnicura will be completed in two phases. The first is to update it to current technology on both Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro. The second phase will be to complete the artistic vision that may have fallen short due to technological limitations of the time when the initial project was produced.

Björk’s music career began in the late 1980s. She was the lead singer of the alternative rock band, The Sugarcubes, before beginning her solo career. She has had two songs on the Billboard Hot 100 list and has been nominated for 16 Grammy Awards. Björk is also well known for her fashion. Last year, she was named as one of the most stylish musicians of 2023 by Rolling Stone.

The VR experience is planned for release in 2025. It will be available for purchase on the Meta Quest app store. It will also be accessible for Apple Vision Pro users on the PulseJet app, which can be downloaded here.

Paul Cauthen Announces 2024-25 Headline Tour: Stops at Ryman Auditorium, Royale, 9:30 Club, and More

Known for his raucous, high-energy live shows, country star Paul Cauthen is set to embark on an extensive headline tour beginning in January. The run of dates includes performances at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium, Boston’s Royale, Atlanta’s Variety Playhouse, D.C.’s 9:30 Club, and more. See below for the complete itinerary.

Tickets will be available starting Friday, December 6, at 10:00 A.M. local time. Full details can be found at paulcauthenmusic.com.

The tour adds to a landmark year for the breakout musician. In October, he released his critically acclaimed new album, Black on Black, via Atlantic Records. He also shared the stage with Lana Del Rey for a duet of “Unchained Melody” during his Stagecoach set and was featured on Shaboozey’s latest album on the track “Last of My Kind.”

A consummate road warrior, Cauthen wrote Black on Black over the past several years during his travels across America, traversing the open road on his motorcycle and in the tour bus. The LP was largely recorded at Rosewood Studios in his hometown of Tyler, TX, with longtime collaborator Jason Burt (John Mayer, Leon Bridges).

Celebrated for his remarkable baritone voice, which has earned him the nickname “Big Velvet,” Cauthen grew up singing in the church choir and cut his chops as part of a tight-knit creative community in East Texas.

Cauthen has steadily risen through the ranks of country and Americana, first gaining notoriety with the roots duo Sons of Fathers before embarking on a solo career with his debut album, My Gospel. He’s gone on to release two more much-lauded albums—2019’s Room 41 and 2022’s Country Coming Down—and has toured the world over. Known for his dynamic live show, Cauthen has collaborated and shared stages with Margo Price, Orville Peck, Elle King, Midland, Cody Jinks, and many more.

Leftover Salmon & Kitchen Dwellers Announce 2025 “Memorial Day Pick-Nic” at Red Rocks

Leftover Salmon & Kitchen Dwellers Announce 2025 “Memorial Day Pick-Nic” at Red Rocks

Today, Leftover Salmon & Kitchen Dwellers have announced they are teaming up to host the “Memorial Day Pick-Nic” at Colorado’s historic Red Rocks Amphitheatre on May 26, 2025. The show will celebrate the 35th anniversary of Colorado’s “polyethnic cajun slamgrass” pioneers, Leftover Salmon. Both of these bluegrass acts will perform two sets each, accompanied by collaborations with the High Country Horns, as well as some very special guests who have yet to be announced. The show will also feature an opening performance by rising Denver-based “good folk’n Country” outfit, Clay Street Unit.

This announcement follows Kitchen Dwellers’ recently sold out three night run in Denver including two nights at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom and the band’s first headlining performance at the Mission Ballroom. Similarly, Leftover Salmon just wrapped up two sold-out nights for their annual Thanksgiving run at Boulder Theater.

Early bird presale tickets and VIP packages are on sale now with presale code BANJO. General on sale is this Friday, December 6 at 10am MT. Tickets available here.

Few bands stick around for thirty years. Even fewer bands leave a legacy during that time that marks them as a truly special, once-in-lifetime type band. And no band has done all that and had as much fun as Leftover Salmon.

Since their earliest days as a forward thinking, progressive bluegrass band who had the guts to add drums to the mix and who was unafraid to stir in any number of highly combustible styles into their ever evolving sound, to their role as a pioneer of the modern jamband scene, to their current status as elder-statesmen of the scene who cast a huge influential shadow over every festival they play, Leftover Salmon has been a crucial link in keeping alive the traditional music of the past while at the same time pushing that sound forward with their own weirdly, unique style.

Leftover Salmon is continuing their long, storied history, which found them first emerging from the progressive bluegrass world and coming of age as one the original jam bands, before rising to become architects of what has become known as Jamgrass and helping to create a landscape where bands schooled in the traditional rules of bluegrass can break free of those bonds through nontraditional instrumentation and an innate ability to push songs in new psychedelic directions live.

Leftover Salmon is a band who, for more than thirty five years, has never stood still; they are constantly changing, evolving, and inspiring. If someone wanted to understand what Americana music is they could do no better than to go to a Leftover Salmon show, where they effortlessly glide from a bluegrass number born on the front porch, to the down-and-dirty Cajun swamps with a stop on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, to the hallowed halls of the Ryman in Nashville, before firing one up in the mountains of Colorado.

Today, Do LaB have announced the music lineup for North America’s original boutique festival, Lightning in a Bottle, returning to Buena Vista Lake in Southern California during Memorial Day Weekend from May 21-25, 2025.

LIB is your gateway to the extraordinary, a technicolor beacon for individuality in a monochrome world. It’s a place where outrageousness is currency and fun triumphs over all – a journey hand curated by the counterculturists and party-people of Do LaB, dotted with surprises that continually reimagine what a festival can mean to its attendees. It’s not just about catching Lightning, this is your chance to be the electricity you wish to see in the world and have the best time of your life in the process – are you ready?

Music curation is an art at LIB. The 2025 lineup is stacked with some of electronic music’s most sought after talent, but this festival isn’t just about names on a poster. The Do LaB crew have dedicated their lives to redefining how music is experienced, designing stage atmospheres that bring out the absolute best from their artists, inspire joy, and promote connection. One minute you are seeing your favorite artist in a larger than life stage environment, the next you are seeing them go B2B with an under-the-radar DJ on a small community stage late into the night. It’s wild, it’s unpredictable, and it’s all waiting for you.

LIB’s 2025 music programming criss-crosses electronic genres du jour, spanning from indie-electronic, house, and techno, to UKG and dubstep. Highlight acts include crossover super producer Jamie xx, meteoric Chicago tech house sensation John Summit, the inimitable UK selector Four Tet, pioneering psychedelic funk trio Khruangbin, and Compton DJ and beatmaker Channel Tres.

Other top billing highlights include British powerhouse Shygirl presents Club Shy, riddim royalty Subtronics, breakout star Sammy Virji, German electro-dance producer Monolink, iconic and unifying dance figure The Blessed Madonna, trap titan TroyBoi, and the return of legendary house producer and Dirtybird founder Claude VonStroke.

Indie music shines through on the 2025 lineup with acts such as synth pop duo Magdalena Bay, one of the most vital voices in Alt R&B Amaarae, Brooklyn brightlights and Book Club Radio founders Tinzo + Jojo, Toro y Moi and Poolside alumn Brijean, hyper pop princess Audrey Nuna, and Tamil-Swiss vocalist Priya Ragu.

Additional highlights include euphoric UKG flagbearers salute and Interplanetary Criminal, the recent global underground triumphs of Joy Orbison, fashionable twin sister duo Coco & Breezy, Haitian house star Francis Mercier, newly formed power duo Girl Math (VNSSA & Nala), melodic maestros like Sultan + Shepard (DJ Set) and Tinlicker, and bass favorites Hamdi, Tape B, and PEEKABOO.

Rounding out the lineup, fans will be able to enjoy sets from Sama’ Abdulhadi, Sofia Kourtesis, Chloé Caillet, Flowdan, and KILIMANJARO alongside the next generation of showstopping talent represented by SYREETA, BIIANCO, Sicaria, Bianca Oblivion, AHADADREAM, Mary Droppinz, Kito, and more.

LIB’s musical journey guides attendees from its wildly immersive core stages Lightning, Woogie, and Thunder, onwards to its community-driven programming at The Stacks, The Junkyard, and The Grand Artique. Each stage features its own unique aesthetic, vision, and sound, balancing fan-favorite bookings with a constant sense of discovery.

The immersive Compass area offers a diverse array of educational opportunities to engage the senses, expand the mind, and inspire community action with topics that include indigenous cultures, psychedelic medicine, climate change, love & relationships, healthy eating, and more. Attendees can learn from the past and present in order to better integrate, collaborate, and thrive in our world’s future.

Lightning in a Bottle offers both three day and five day ticket options, as well as hotel packages. The three day pass will be available as part of the general on sale, and makes the LIB experience more accessible to those who’d like to build their own adventure at their own pace.

Other packages available this year include the return of Easy Peasy Pre-Set Camping and Pre-Set RV options, taking away any of the stress of setting up camp upon arrival and instead being met with the convenience of having accommodations taken care of from the outset. VIP options will also be available for guests looking for the joy of a camping festival with an elevated experience. VIP pass holders can find reprieve in backstage lounges at Lightning, Thunder, and Woogie, grab refreshments in these areas at exclusive bars, enjoy special pop-up interactive experiences, and much more.

Cody Jinks Announces 2025 Hippies and Cowboys Tour Alongside Tribute Album to Lefty Frizzell

Today, multi-platinum singer-songwriter Cody Jinks announces his 2025 Hippies and Cowboys Tour alongside his upcoming project, Cody Jinks Sings Lefty Frizzell, a tribute album to the late honky-tonk legend Lefty Frizzell. The album features covers of many fan-favorite tracks, including “If You’ve Got the Money I’ve Got the Time.” Breathing new life into these classics, Jinks approaches the music—a cornerstone of traditional country and honky-tonk—with the same sincerity and emotional depth that has endeared him to fans throughout his career.

The electrifying performer, who has sold over 2 million tickets to date, is preparing for another ambitious stage setup as he embarks on his 2025 North American tour. Produced by Live Nation and FPC Live, the Hippies and Cowboys Tour promises the same inclusive, big-tent atmosphere for which Jinks is renowned.

“It’s a really divided time in our nation,” Jinks says. “But we’ve always been the type of band that wants everybody. Next year, it’s going to be a statement: ‘Man, we’re just an American band.’ That’s what we are. We’re a honky-tonk band. We’re American music. You’ve got country, rock, rhythm, and blues—all in one. We’re hippies, we’re cowboys, and we’re everything in between.”

The tour will include major stops in Franklin, TN; Morrison, CO; Philadelphia, PA; New York, NY; Boston, MA; and many more. Another Planet Entertainment will present two shows: the Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harveys on July 11 and the Greek Theatre at UC Berkeley on July 12. Tickets will be available starting with a fan club presale on Tuesday, December 3. The Another Planet Entertainment presale begins Wednesday, December 4, at 10 AM local time (password: verano). General on-sale starts Friday, December 6, at 10 AM local time via codyjinks.com.

Flatland Cavalry Announces 2025 “Flatland Forever Tour” with Stops Across the U.S.

Acclaimed band Flatland Cavalry will take their electric live shows across the country next year with their newly confirmed “Flatland Forever Tour.” Stops include Atlanta’s Coca-Cola Roxy, Birmingham’s Alabama Theatre, Omaha’s Steelhouse Omaha, Ann Arbor’s Michigan Theater, Madison’s The Sylvee, Memphis’s Minglewood Hall, Charlottesville’s Ting Pavilion, and Portland’s Crystal Ballroom, among many others. See below for the complete tour itinerary.

Tickets for the 2025 dates will be available for pre-sale starting this Wednesday, December 4, at 10:00 am local time, with the general on-sale following Friday, December 6, at 10:00 am local time. Full details can be found at www.flatlandcavalry.com/tour.

The tour adds to a landmark year for the band, who released their new album, Flatland Forever, last month via Interscope Records (stream/purchase here) and recently reached #1 on Shazam’s U.S. Top 200 chart after their song “How Long” was featured in Paramount’s hit show, Yellowstone. Receiving over 81,000 Shazams, the song surpassed tracks by Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars, The Weeknd & Playboi Carti, and more.

A celebration of their past ten years together, Flatland Forever features fan favorites from each of the band’s previous albums, along with four new songs and additional material. Released to critical acclaim, Billboard praises, “a stellar catalog of songs…top-notch new material,” while Holler declares, “It’s a brilliant collection, a stunning mix of the old and the new,” and All Country News proclaims, “the Texas powerhouses are proving why they’re the heart and soul of today’s country music…a perfect reflection of their musical ethos: honest, heartfelt storytelling paired with captivating melodies.”

Since playing their first show as a group in Lubbock, TX, in 2014, Flatland Cavalry has received widespread attention from fans, fellow artists, and critics alike, with Rolling Stone declaring, “Flatland Cavalry Are at the Fore of the Red Dirt Renaissance…one of the most dynamic presences in country music,” while The Wall Street Journal praises, “This is a straightforward, upbeat electrified country-rock band,” and American Songwriter proclaims, “a dynamic representation of country music…Kris Kristofferson and John Prine’s enduring influence of folk storytelling traces through.”

In just the past year, they wrote and recorded songs for two major film soundtracks (Twisters and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), received their first ACM Awards nomination (Group of the Year), and made their headline debut at iconic venues such as Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium and Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Additionally, they’ve garnered more than 500 million streams across platforms to date, had music featured on Paramount’s Yellowstone and Netflix’s The Ranch, earned six #1 singles at Texas Country Radio, and toured relentlessly, including countless sold-out headline dates as well as shows with Willie Nelson, Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Jordan Davis, Midland, and more.

Based in both Texas and Nashville, Flatland Cavalry is Cleto Cordero (vocals, acoustic guitar), Jason Albers (drums, percussion), Jonathan Saenz (bass, background vocals), Reid Dillon (electric guitar), Wesley Hall (fiddle), and Adam Gallegos (piano, organ, keys, mandolin, banjo, acoustic guitar, Wurlitzer, Mellotron).

My Next Read: From The 33 1/3 Series – The Avalanches’ Since I Left You By Charles Fairchild

Capturing a fraught moment in popular music history as reflected in and anticipated by Since I Left You (2000), the debut studio album from electronic music group The Avalanches has enthralled listeners for decades.

Since I Left You has a reputation amongst its advocates that exceeds those of nearly all of its closest peers. Yet despite the inordinate amount of attention this album has received, it has never been thoroughly examined in context. While repeatedly celebrated for its artistry, technical skill, and emotional resonance – in particular its sample-based material and then-cutting edge technological feats within the electronic music genre – it has never been definitively placed in the world that produced it.

Charles Fairchild studies this album in a way no one else has. Since I Left You is placed in its historical, technological, and cultural contexts and is examined for the social and aesthetic attributes it was said to possess at the time of its release. There is a focus on the clear set of aesthetic aspirations that guided the album’s creators and how those creators pasted together the fragments of many sound worlds.
