Cover Of Debut Album ‘WHAT’S IN BETWEEN’ By Aussie Post-Punks RADIO FREE ALICE

Posted on by JL

5 November 2026

Band: RADIO FREE ALICE
Who: Aussie post-punks
coming on strong, very fast.

Album: WHAT’S IN BETWEEN
Their debut.

Clash Magazine (UK): “What’s In Between’ was mostly recorded with producer Peter Katis (Interpol, The National) at his studio in Connecticut. He has added a widescreen dimension to their music. Radio Free Alice were ripe for this approach and the result is a body of work which sees them take a giant leap forward. It’s a breathtaking debut and one which no doubt will add to their ever-growing fanbase.”

Artwork

From the first previews in July 2026, it was speculated and analyzed by
graphic designers that the cover art was generated entirely or partially
using AI.

The images have a dark, occult aesthetic reminiscent of an intro
cutscene or classic style elements such as from Japanese video game series
Shin Megami Tensei

Cover Of Upcoming 45th Album By Rock Seniors GUIDED BY VOICES

Posted on by JL

For your eyes

30 October 2026


Photo by Sarah Zade Pollard

Band: GUIDED BY VOICES
Who: Commended rock unit formed in 1983
by singer-songwriter Robert Pollard, who is
the only constant member.

Album: SPECULATION AND GOSSIP

It’ll arrive on 22 Jan 2027. Tracklist
and digital pre-order info here.


New album artwork

Polard says in an interview with Rolling Stone that Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 movie
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (hence the creepy artwork?) and other influences
he immersed himself with in the creation of the album, including surrealism and dada.

It’s their 45th one. Yes, 45, and I need to add that Robert Pollard also has 22 solo LPs
on his résumé. That sounds surreal, but these are the incontestable facts. And it’s not
that GBV deliver mediocre work. If you check AllMusic‘s reviews of their full-lengths this century (31, that is), they gave them an average rating of 3/5.

I wonder how many albums prog-rock machine King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – so
far 28 in 14 years – will have released after a career as long as Guided By Voices, 43 years
at this point.

Anyway, here’s the lead single, called DESIGNED FOR USE.

A solid gold rocker. Hats off to GBV.

Posted on by JL

25 October 2026


Credit: Subpop Records

Band: PISS
Who: Hefty, genre-bending punks from Vancouver, B.C. Combining punk, poetry, sound collage, performance art, and visual art, the band creates a multidisciplinary body of work that blurs the line between personal and political.

Debut Album: YOU MADE ME / SKIN ON LINEN
It’ll hit the streets on October 30th. More info
and tracklist here.

Artwork: “The artwork and the accompanying aesthetic, including imagery and poetic motifs regarding clay, bodily impressions, and memories, reflect the record’s themes of youth, trauma, and systemic violence.

NME says: “With their searing performances and their powerful, upcoming
debut album, the Canadian four-piece shine a stark spotlight on the trauma
of sexual violence.”

TUTV: Smashing, trashing, and crashing
iconoclasts on a maddening mission.

Cover Of New Album By Aussie Synth-Pop Vets THE AVALANCHES

Posted on by JL

For your eyes

21 October 2026

Band: THE AVALANCHES
Who: Synth-dance-pop
veterans from down under.

Active: Since 1997

Album: BAD MEMORIES
Their 4th in 29 years.
Lazy bastards.

TUTV: The album sounds quite passé. It’s overcrowded with samples,
crazy little voices, and kickstars. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

Artwork: The cover features a cartoon-like, futuristic, and nostalgic illustration
including an anthropomorphized iPod and a floppy disk. It aligns with the album’s
themes, which revolve around memories, nostalgia, and the influence of the modern world of technology and consumer culture.

It was designed by Australian artist Jonathan Zawada.

Posted on by JL

18 October 2026

Artist: TROYE SIVAN
Who: Australian mega R&B pop star and actor, who
was born 31 years ago in Johannesburg, South Africa

Album: SHE’S THE BEST
His 4th.

Pitchfork writes: “The pop star’s fourth album explores the cracks
between the hits, the climaxes, and the comedowns. When he steps
off the dancefloor, he finds a looser and more liberated sound.”

If so she hasn’t aged much.

Cover Of Brand New Debut Album By Irish Post Punks BASHT.

Posted on by JL

12 October 2026


Photo by Turn Up The Volume – Rock Werchter, Belgium – 6 July 2026

Band: BASHT.
Who: Serrated post-punks
from Ireland.

Album: POOR ADVICE
Their brand new debut.

About the artwork: “We thought it was perfect to have the child – Harley – be shooting at something. It’s like he’s the kid shooting at the establishment, shooting at the stained-glass that you might find in a church. He’s taking shots at what he perceives to be the authority in his life, and he’s questioning what he’s been told from an early age.”


Album artwork

Mojo Magazine says: “The LP’s 10 squally, dynamics-rich songs skewer
ld Ireland Catholicism, the nanny state, and their hair trigger fragility of
peaceful existence.”

TUTV: Fresh Dublin‘s deep-seated, unambiguously
opinionated and socioemotional kneecap post-punks
make their mark.

Posted on by JL

Artist: REMI WOLF
Who: Conquering 30-year old soulful pop
songstress from Palo Alto, California.

Album: MUD
Her brand new 3rd one.

NME: “Funk-pop maximalist gets her hands dirty. The genre-blending artist
emerges from a period of emotional turbulence to unearth a more grown-up,
toned-down sound.”

Muddy cover if you ask me.

Cover Of New Album By Modern Day Soul/Country Songsmith GREG FREEMAN

Posted on by JL

8 October 2026

Artist: GREG FREEMAN
Who: Modern day soul-country
singer-songwriter from Maryland.

Album: ALL SET THE BONE
His brand-new 3rd one.

Press info: “Freeman writes about the fears of love nursed by catastrophe,
yet protected by the limits of its own memory. He dives well and far here into
what it costs to live through the present moment, and his band’s instrumentation
mirrors that with dense song structures and spacious improvisation.

The weirdest angel I ever saw.
