Prewn–the project of Los Angeles-based musician Izzy Hagerup–today announced her new album System will be released on October 3, 2025, via Exploding In Sound. She has also shared the title track lead single alongside a Sophie Feuer-directed video. Led by Hagerup’s unique voice, and underscored by eerie strings and a restless intensity, the song slow-builds to a captivating peak.
If System feels immediately uncompromising it’s because it was never really designed for public consumption: Hagerup describes the album as a “private journal made public.” The arresting nine songs chronicle a deeply personal journey through the darkness of depression, but one that’s always undercut by moments of humor as well as selfishness and self-reflection–a push-and-pull that feels wholly distinctive.
Following on Prewn’s 2023 debut album Through The Window, System finds her crawling even deeper into the dense folds of the night. Hagerup wrote and recorded the album mostly in long stretches of bedroom sessions that found her working through the night until she began to hear birdsong. System reckons with a lot of the thoughts that tend to needle in during those small hours: guilt, shame, and self-absorption, as well as the societal pressures that sit at the root of such things.

Though he never had a chart hit, Terry Reid was one of the most respected voices in rock history.
Terry Reid was a singer’s singer, a musician’s musician — and one of the great “what ifs” of rock history. But more than that, he was a true artist who followed his own path, no matter where it led. His music will forever be passed from crate-digger to crate-digger, from roadie to headliner, and from one generation of dreamers to the next. Rest in power, Terry. You were always happening.

Canadian composer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Don Macdonald unveils Short Stories—a vibrant collection of original songs and imaginative re-interpretations that celebrate storytelling through jazz. Blending the intimacy of folk, the rhythmic vitality of jazz, and the emotional immediacy of great songwriting, Short Stories marks a striking new chapter in Macdonald’s multifaceted career.
Known internationally for his award-winning film and choral compositions, including the cult-classic Fido soundtrack and the opera KHAOS, Macdonald returns to his roots as a performer on this self-released album. His warm, expressive voice and deft saxophone and violin work are at the heart of the project, joined by a powerhouse ensemble: JUNO-winning guitarist Mike Rud, acclaimed pianist David Restivo, bassist Jill McKenna, drummer Joel Fountain, and guest appearances by Allison Girvan (voice) and Kiyo Elkuf (tenor sax).
Across ten tracks—seven originals and three inventive covers—Macdonald crafts vivid musical vignettes. From the rollicking, second-line groove of “Sofia’s Coming Out” to the moody balladry of “Fall From Grace” and a haunting rendition of Canadian composer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Don Macdonald unveils ‘Short Stories’—a vibrant collection of original songs and imaginative re-interpretations that celebrate storytelling through jazz.’s “One More Cup of Coffee,” the album pulses with character and narrative depth. Each song reveals Macdonald’s knack for melody and his fearless blending of genres, drawing on influences as diverse as Chet Baker, Django Reinhardt, and Madeleine Peyroux.
Short Stories was recorded with Macdonald’s colleagues and friends at the Selkirk College Contemporary Music and Technology Program in Nelson, BC, where he also teaches. The collaborative spirit of the project infuses every track, creating music that feels both sophisticated and deeply personal.
Following the release of his acclaimed debut album A Joy So Slow At Times I Don’t Think It’s Coming, Slow Joy — the solo project of Dallas-based, New Mexican-born Chicano artist Esteban Flores — will join influential post-hardcore vets Texas Is the Reason for a run of fall tour dates in September and October. Following the Texas Is the Reason run, Slow Joy will continue on the road with rising indie/alternative band Inoha for another US tour through mid-November.
These dates mark Slow Joy’s first tour since the album’s release, and serve as a milestone moment for an artist who’s been praised for bringing a fresh emotional perspective to the alternative landscape. The tour pairing feels especially meaningful: Texas Is the Reason helped shape the sonic DNA of ’90s emo and post-hardcore, and their invitation to Slow Joy underscores Flores’s emergence as a bold new voice in that lineage.
Produced by Mike Sapone (Oso Oso, The Front Bottoms), A Joy So Slow At Times I Don’t Think It’s Coming is a sweeping and vulnerable debut, rooted in Flores’s identity and grief. With its signature mix of shoegaze textures, grunge weight, and cathartic punk edge, the record has resonated deeply, led by fan favourites like “Gruesome,” which earned spins at alternative radio and helped introduce Slow Joy to a wider national audience.
Ahead of the Texas Is The Reason tour, fans can catch Slow Joy’s headline performance on Day One of this year’s Tough Luck Fest on September 5th in Boston, MA — details HERE. Slow Joy’s fall North American run will continue with Inoha, whose dynamic mix of intricate guitar work, catchy vocals, and rhythmic punch is quickly earning them a devoted following. Based in San Antonio, TX, the band features Keanu Bicol, Ricky Juarez, Christian Young (ImTrying), and Gavin Gonzalez.
