Mick Harvey and Amanda Acevedo are stepping deeper into their own world. The Australian-Mexican duo have shared the video for new single “Perfect Storm” and announced their new album ‘Psychedelia in White’, arriving September 4 via Mute. The single and video are out now.
The 10-track record was recorded mostly in Australia and mixed in Chile by Alain Johannes. It lands on white vinyl, CD, and digital, and a run of live dates follows: a UK and European tour with Mercury Rev, plus headline shows in Sweden and Norway, closing at The 100 Club in London on November 4.
‘Psychedelia in White’ is the pair’s third album together, following ‘Phantasmagoria in Blue’. Where their debut and second release ‘Golden Mirrors (The Uncovered Sessions Vol. 1)’ leaned on reinterpretations, this one carries seven tracks of original material. The duo revisit themes from their debut, mythology, love, hope, loss, and mysticism, with a shift in musical style and an overarching idea about finding a safe space inside the chaos of the outside world.
“Perfect Storm” sets the tone with woozy, tripped-out psychedelia, Acevedo’s evocative vocals riding a maelstrom of layered guitar and synthesizer washes. The track sounds genuinely immersive, the kind of song that pulls you fully under. She wrote the lyrics after Canadian musician Peter McNestry (who runs the project Pink Elephants) sent her an early instrumental, describing the result as a statement of confidence and playfulness shot through with a dark, stormy feeling. The two built it through file exchanges, and Harvey later layered in guitars, sound effects, and backing vocals.
The album marks a real leap in the duo’s songwriting. It picks up the folklore threads of their debut tracks “Medusa” and “Atlantis” and runs them through playful turns, including “Song for Aurora,” an ode to Marc Bolan stuffed with T-Rex references. Three reinterpretations sit among the originals: a new take on PJ Harvey’s “Slow-Motion-Movie-Star” (which Mick had recorded for his 2007 album ‘Two of Diamonds’), plus translations of Silvio Rodríguez’s “Sueño Con Serpientes” and Jose Maria Cano and Mecano’s “Bride of the Sea.”
The partnership has roots worth knowing. Acevedo met Harvey years ago in Mexico City while he was touring with PJ Harvey, though the current project didn’t ignite until 2021. In the five years since that first meeting, they’ve put out two albums and toured widely across Europe and Australia, and this kaleidoscopic third record pushes the journey further still.
Natanya is stepping out on her own for the first time. The London-based artist is celebrating last week’s release of her new single “Candyland!” by launching her very first headline tour, a run that spans Europe, the UK, and North America. It’s a real milestone moment for an artist building fast.
The Attitude Tour covers 11 dates and kicks off October 22 in Paris, France at Les Etoiles. From there the European and UK leg rolls through Cologne, Amsterdam, London, and Manchester, hitting intimate rooms built for a close connection with the crowd.
Then she crosses the pond. The North American leg opens November 3 in Toronto at Drake Underground, followed by Boston, New York City, Washington, D.C., and Chicago, before wrapping November 12 in San Francisco at Popscene at Brick & Mortar. These are the kind of tight, sweaty club shows that turn early fans into lifers.
Artist presale begins Wednesday, June 10, with general on-sale Friday, June 12.
The Attitude Tour Dates:
October 22 – Paris, FR at Les Etoiles
October 23 – Cologne, DE at Yuca Club
October 26 – Amsterdam, NL at Bitterzoet
October 27 – London, UK at The Garage
October 28 – Manchester, UK at YES Pink Room

The Killers turned Chicago’s Grant Park into one giant singalong at Lollapalooza on August 4, 2017, delivering a masterclass in stadium rock built on indie grit, new wave synths, and pop anthemics. Frontman Brandon Flowers worked the massive crowd through a setlist stacked with staples, “Mr. Brightside,” “Somebody Told Me,” and “When You Were Young,” then tipped his hat to his influences with covers of Muse’s “Starlight” and The Smashing Pumpkins’ “Disarm.” It stands as proof of why the Las Vegas natives remain one of the most reliable and exhilarating live acts of their generation.
Hayden Haddock has found a way to make a breakup feel like a celebration. The independent Texas country artist has announced his new single “I’ll Bring The Matches,” out Friday, July 10, 2026. Written by Jacob Boyd and Dan Hutson and tracked at the historic Rosewood Studios in Tyler, Texas under producer Drew Hall, the song taps the juke joint and barroom saloon tradition that runs through the Texas scene.
The track has real swagger. It opens on a rockabilly guitar riff, settles into a classic country instrumental bed, and lets a flirtatious fiddle dance through the arrangement. Haddock’s vocals sit right at the center, traditional in spirit and modern in delivery. It’s the kind of honky-tonk cut that earns its place on a Texas dancefloor.
The storyline keeps things cheeky. Haddock plays a narrator with hopeful intentions, coaxing his love interest to walk away from Mr. Wrong so the two of them can light their own fire. He describes it as a feel-good breakup anthem that trades tears for a matchstick, nodding to the mischief of The Chicks’ “Goodbye Earl” and the flirtatious lean of Brooks & Dunn’s “We’ll Burn That Bridge.”
The release rides a strong run of momentum. “I’ll Bring The Matches” follows his March single “Heaven On Horseback,” and Haddock’s catalogue has pulled more than 7 million cumulative streams. His songs have landed on Spotify’s “Texas Music Now” and “Texas Music Rewind,” Apple Music’s “Don’t Mess With Texas,” and Amazon Music’s “Texas Forever.”
His story keeps building fast. The Texas A&M graduate broke through in 2018 off a video shot in his college dorm and has since grown into a genuine road warrior, playing close to 100 dates a year and opening for Randall King, Steve Wariner, Kevin Fowler, Casey Donahew, Roger Creager, and Jon Wolfe. He was named New Male Vocalist of the Year at the 2021 Texas Regional Radio Music Awards, has charted six tracks on Texas radio with three reaching the Top 10, and scored his first number 1 on the Texas Country Music Chart in 2025 with “Front Porch In The Rain.”
Ian Munsick is heading for the summit. The Wyoming native, one of modern country’s only true Rocky Mountain voices, has announced his fourth studio album ‘The Mountain Goat’, arriving August 21 via West to the Rest Records and Triple Tigers Records. He shared the news with fans at his fan club party during CMA Fest on Saturday, June 6.
Munsick built this one with his hands all over it. He co-produced alongside Jeremy Spillman and Mike Robinson, and played nine different instruments across the record: acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, mandolin, banjo, harmonica, piano, bouzouki, and kazoo, plus background vocals and programming. The sound he describes leans on folky textures, steel guitar, and plenty of fiddle.
His vision for the album is rooted in place. Munsick frames the songs as a dedication to the land and the people who live with it, not on it, a horseback ride through pastures and prairies, past the timberline, up to the peak. He wants melodies that haunt you and lyrics that carry you straight into the West that fuels him.
The rollout is already moving. His single “Love Is Blind” keeps climbing country radio, and the next song, “World War III,” drops this Friday, June 12, from the 15-track album. Five direct-to-consumer fan packs are up for pre-order on his store, including an exclusive autographed zoetrope vinyl.
The live celebration spans the Mountain Time zone. The Road to The Mountain Goat runs through Nevada, Colorado (including the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre), New Mexico, Texas, South Dakota, and Utah. The official album release show lands August 22 at Deer Valley Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater in Park City, Utah, part of the Deer Valley Concert Series. Munsick calls Utah a crowd that shows up and sings every word, and he’s bringing 15 new songs for them to learn.
There’s a brick-and-mortar chapter too. Munsick is partnering with The Landmark Hotel & Casino to open the Ian Munsick Cowboy Bar & Western Grill in Deadwood, SD, on September 18. The Landmark, built between 1894 and 1920, is Deadwood’s largest historic structure at roughly 35,000 square feet, and the bar will occupy over 2,600 of them, with old-school country decor and two stages, one indoors and one out.

The whistle that defined an indie era is coming back to the stage. Swedish trio Peter Bjorn and John have announced the Writer’s Block 20th Anniversary Tour, a run through Mexico and the U.S. marking two decades of the album that broke them worldwide. The shows kick off this October, pairing songs from the classic record with favorites pulled from across their catalogue.
The run builds on momentum from last year. The band returned to North American stages in 2025, including a Just Like Heaven festival set, their first stateside shows in six years. Fans responded loudly, and this fall’s tour answers with a deeper dive into the record that put them on the map.
‘Writer’s Block’ arrived in August 2006 and still stands as one of the defining indie albums of the 2000s. It earned Pitchfork’s “Best New Music” tag, and The Guardian called it a delight from beginning to end. The album introduced Peter Bjorn and John to a global audience and has held its grip on listeners ever since.
At its center sits “Young Folks,” one of the most recognizable indie songs of its time. That whistled melody traveled everywhere, turning up across film, television, advertising, and pop culture at large. Twenty years on, the song and the album it anchors still land with longtime fans and newcomers alike, a rare staying power for any record.
This tour gives fans a genuine chance to hear the album performed live by the people who made it. Beyond the ‘Writer’s Block’ material, the band will revisit standout moments from their broader career, building a show that honors both the record’s legacy and everything that came after.
The run opens October 10 in Queretaro, Mexico, then heads into the United States with special guest Josh Rouse on every U.S. date. Artist presales run from June 10 at 10 am through June 11 at 11:59 pm local time, with general on-sale Friday, June 12 at 10 am local time.
Tour Dates:
October 10 – Queretaro, MX – TBA
October 14 – Los Angeles, CA – Pacific Electric (w/ Josh Rouse)
October 16 – San Diego, CA – Music Box (w/ Josh Rouse)
October 17 – Phoenix, AZ – Walter Studios (w/ Josh Rouse)
Downtown Las Vegas lit up in September 2022 when Lorde headlined the Life is Beautiful Festival. The New Zealand pop force turned the open-air setting into a showcase for an artist who’d grown from teenage prodigy into a commanding performer, balancing theatrical, emotionally resonant pop with the kind of intimacy that pulls a massive crowd in close.
The setlist moved through every chapter of her catalogue. Songs from ‘Pure Heroine’ landed hard, including the generation-defining “Royals” and the wistful “Ribs,” while ‘Melodrama’ anthems “Green Light” and “Supercut” cracked the night open. She wove in the sun-soaked material from ‘Solar Power’ and slipped in a delightfully retro cover of Bananarama’s “Cruel Summer.”
Show Me the Body are turning belief into action, on record and in the street. The New York collective have announced a 23-city North American tour behind their fourth studio album ‘Alone Together’, out July 10 via Loma Vista Recordings, and dropped the record’s third single “Eat For Peace.”
The fall run opens in Boston this September and carries the band’s notorious live show across the continent. The hometown stop at Webster Hall will be their first show without a stage barrier in over a decade, a fitting move for a band that builds its whole world around community. General on-sale starts Friday, June 12 at 10 am local time. A London show at The Cause, presented by Outbreak, lands June 30, with presale underway now.
The community work isn’t a metaphor. The band are reviving their weekly CORPUS Self Defense Training at McCarren Park in Brooklyn, running 2 to 4 pm every Sunday through June, July, and August. The sessions are open to all, built on horizontal skill sharing and mutual protection, and footage from them will appear in the “Eat For Peace” lyric video.
Frontman Julian Cashwan Pratt frames the single as the album’s opening statement and its core credo: radical love that compels him to fight. “Eat For Peace” is the first track on ‘Alone Together’ and the first message the band send.
‘Alone Together’ follows their acclaimed 2022 album ‘Trouble The Water’, trading atmosphere for direct communication, a call to galvanize yourself and the people around you. Working with producers Klas Ahlund (Robyn, Ghost) and Kenneth Blume III (Geese, Fcukers), the band have sharpened their language into something more focused and urgent. The songs hit with a rare mix of menace and joy, the sound of a band fully locked in.
The record’s roots run personal. The bones of the album took shape in their Corpus studio, in the basement of the building that doubles as the collective’s headquarters and the home where Pratt lives with his young family. He wrote much of it in the wake of his daughter’s birth, and that tension between darkness and new life gives ‘Alone Together’ its harrowing, exhilarating charge.

The Courteeners turned their home city into one giant singalong. Manchester’s indie rock favourites delivered a monumental set at Heaton Park in 2019, commanding a massive hometown crowd at a venue that carries real meaning for local bands and fans. The performance ran from the opening chords of “Are You in Love With a Notion?” straight through to the closing euphoria of “What Took You So Long?”, with frontman Liam Fray pulling things back for a stripped-down acoustic stretch on “Hanging Off Your Cloud” and “Smiths Disco” before the full band charged into the encore.
A psychological manga masterpiece and a pair of Mexican guitars have found each other. GRAMMY-winning duo Rodrigo y Gabriela have announced their new album ‘OurHome’, arriving September 18 via ATO Records, and unveiled the first single “Monster” alongside a video drawn by legendary manga artist Naoki Urasawa. Pre-orders and pre-saves are live now, including a limited 500-unit splatter vinyl pressing through the band’s store.
The Urasawa connection runs deep. The creator of Monster, 20th Century Boys, Pluto, and Master Keaton has sold more than 140 million copies worldwide, and the duo wrote “Monster” as a tribute to his thriller without knowing he was already a fan. Gabriela Quintero describes the story as one about a psychopathic killer that somehow leaves you hopeful, and the track ranks among the album’s darkest, most cinematic moments. Urasawa returned the admiration by drawing original artwork for the video himself.
Their stories collided by chance. Urasawa discovered Rodrigo y Gabriela through their live shows years ago, started collecting their records, and reached out through the band’s Japanese promoter once he learned a song had been inspired by his work. He calls the finished track a perfect match for the mood of Monster, crediting the duo’s playing with lifting it to another dimension.
‘OurHome’ was recorded in Japan and self-produced by Rodrigo Sánchez and Gabriela Quintero at NK Sound Tokyo. The country has long pulled at the pair, who cite its art, aesthetics, and attention to beauty as a constant source of renewal. After a stretch of creative frustration back at their Ixtapa studio, the duo found their flow again following the death of their studio cat, Pelusa. Quintero says Sánchez wrote a song for Pelusa the next day, and everything opened up from there.
The title came on a walk through Melbourne after a Japan and Australia run. Talking about what home meant, the pair passed a public housing tower marked with a sign reading “OUR HOME.” Sánchez photographed it on the spot, and that image became the album cover. The duo frame the record as a meditation on finding peace within yourself rather than chasing approval from anyone else.
Musically, ‘OurHome’ returns to the acoustic textures the duo are known for, stepping back from the electric sound of 2023’s ‘In Between Thoughts…A New World’. The playing is rich and conversational, the work of two musicians fully back in their element. The guest list is stacked: former Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman, jazz pianist Hiromi, cellist Hiyori Okuda, and guitarist Yukihiro Atsumi. Five-time GRAMMY winner Dave Sardy handled the mix and Stephen Marcussen mastered.
The road plan is enormous. A North American headline run rolls through fall 2026, hitting Austin City Limits, Washington’s The Anthem, New York’s Bowery Ballroom, San Francisco’s Castro Theatre, and theaters across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. The duo then carry ‘OurHome’ across Ireland, the U.K., and Europe through spring 2027.
