New Albums 2026

NINE INCH NOIZE = Trent Reznor’s NIN And German Acid House DJ BOYS NOIZE

Posted on by JL

17 April 2026

NINE INCH NOIZE is the collaborative project of Trent Reznor‘s
industrial rock turbine NINE INCH NAILS and German acid house
DJ BOYS NOIZE.

They did/do a series of shows together, with the most
recent one, last weekend at Coachella festival.

And today their first, self-named longplayer is out.

The album consists of re-recorded and reworked versions of songs by NIN, a new version of Memorabilia, a song by legendary British electro pop act Soft Cell they had previously covered, and a cover of a song by Reznor and Ross‘s side-project, How To Destroy Angels. It features a mix of live and studio recordings.

Reznor: “The creative fulfilment of working on the Challengers and Tron scores with
Boys Noize led me to think that including him in the Peel It Back tour could be an interesting way to express NIN in more purely electronic terms live — a concept I’ve wanted to explore for some time. The result was so much fun for us we felt it was worth expanding and formalizing
in some way.”

“The album was recorded “all over the place, some of it’s live, some in studios,
hotels, planes, etc. We had a lot of fun revisiting these songs and hope you enjoy.”

TUTV: NIN + Boys Noize = Nin Inch Noiz = UNDERWORLD.

BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE Release Their 6th Album ‘REMEMBER THE HUMANS’ In May – Hear The 3 Singles (So Far) Here

Posted on by JL

Albums in the pipeline

17 April 2026

It’s already been 9 years since Canadian indie-pop rockers
BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE have released their 5th album
Hug Of Thunder.

But a few weeks ago, they made their fans
happy with the announcement of a new one.

It’s called REMEMBER THE HUMANS and will land
on May 8th. Tracklist and pre-order info here.

Press info: “Across 12 tracks the arrangements are dense and enveloping – a lattice of horns, guitars, voices, and electronics – yet melody always remains sovereign, refusing to be swallowed by the sheer sound. When the music drifts towards abstraction, a grounding bass line arrives to anchor the listener, reminding us always that there are human hands on the controls and that, however artful, this is still rock and roll.

As ever, Broken Social Scene operates less as a band than as a community and songs
evolve by ceding control to whoever can best carry them forward in the moment. Kevin Drew may be the designated driver, but collaborators on the record, including Hannah Georgas, Lisa Lobsinger, and Feist, step into the foreground throughout the record, shaping songs with a sense of collective authorship that has always defined the group’s ethos.”

Since the album news BSS shared 3 preview tracks.

POND – Australian Psych Rockers Launch Their 11th LP In June – Info & First Two Singles Right Here

Posted on by JL

16 April 2026

Band: POND
Who: Popular psych-rock
vets from down under.

New album: TERRESTRIALS
Their 11th. Out on June 19th.
Pre-order info here.

Press info: “Terrestrials is a cyclone of urgent, scorched earth rock’n’roll, tipping
the hat to the sounds of then while squarely facing up to the here and now.

Conceived from a place of reverence for a particularly potent epoch in Oz rock, Terrestrials mines the sound of open sky melancholia, heat haze sizzling on the plains and jangly pub backrooms that hits an eternally poignant nerve for anyone familiar with the sound, time and place.”

Two spaced-out tasters so far.

– TERRESTIALS –

A both glittery and far-out tune
with a supercharged finale.

– TWO HANDS –

Funky groover.
Edgy earworm.

JOE JACKSON – British Veteran Songsmith Has His 22th Album ‘HOPE AND FURY’ Out

Posted on by JL

10 April 2026

Artist: The lauded British,
singer-songwriter veteran.

New Album: HOPE AND FURY
His 22nd one.

Press info: “Often labelled a musical chameleon, Jackson insists that most of his work belongs to his own “mainstream” – sophisticated pop songs with ever-shifting rhythms
and textures. After his playful detour with What A Racket! (a 2023 side project exploring early 20th-century British entertainment and music), he now returns to that core territory.

The result, according to Jackson, falls somewhere between Fool (2019), Laughter and
Lust (1991), and Night and Day (1982). Nine new songs in total – ranging from biting,
witty pop to moving ballads.”

TUTV: At the age of 71 and after an impressive 56-year career, Jackson has earned
lots of stars and stripes. This new LP will be another one to remember. The versatile
songsmith obviously wanted to have and make fun.

He returns to his swinging Latin-pop side with both jaunty and vigorous ballroom tunes: Welcome to Burning-By-Sea, I’m Not Sorry, Made God Laugh, Do Do Do, and Fabulous People (actually the first 5 tracks).

But with the closing quartet of songs After All This Time, The Face, End Of The Pier, and
See You In September he leaves the cocktail party behind him and offers some good
old Jackson musings. It makes Hope and Fury an album with, sonically, 2 different
moods. I like the ebullient one the most, it smells like spring spirit.

Amazing Album Artwork – Cover Of New One By, Eh… British Xenofeminist Crisis Energy Duo GUTTERSNIPE

Posted on by JL

10 April 2026


Promo shot

Band: GUTTERSNIPE
Who: Two normal-looking people, making
not-so-normal, chaotic and cacophonous
racket.

Album: EXTINTION BURST!
Their 2nd.

Press info – take a deep breath and start reading: “Extinction Burst! is the new invocation in album-form by Guttersnipe, Leeds’ premier and pre-eminent Xenofeminist crisis-energy rock duo.* Slamming at full speed to multi-dimensional oblivion, Extinction Burst! is the most full, hi-definition lurid dream-mare yet spewed out by Uroceras Gigas & Tipula Confusa.”

I’m quite sure you’ll agree that the album’s artwork is pretty cool and eye-catching.
But I’m not sure you’ll dig the duo’s vociferous and caterwauling punk mayhew,
although is worth a try.

Let’s have a go with the album’s new single, right here below.

This is how this Xenofeminist Crisis-Energy duo sounds live.

A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS – New York’s Nightmare Rockers Release ‘2015-2025’ Compilation ‘RARE AND DEADLY’

Posted on by JL


Photo credit: Heather Bickford

New York‘s nightmarish noiseniks A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS, founded and
fronted by singer/songwriter/bassist Oliver Ackermann, have a new album out,
titled Rare And Deadly.

Press Info: “The record cracks open a decade-long vault of raw nerve and sonic chaos. Spanning 2015–2025, the collection gathers demos, B-sides, abandoned experiments, and forgotten fragments pulled from Ackermann’s personal archive of late-night recordings, blown-out tapes, and half-finished sessions.

These tracks capture the band at their most unfiltered, caught between
breakthrough ideas and beautiful mistakes, with the edges left jagged
on purpose.”

TUTV: Generally, albums featuring previously unreleased tracks, demos, rarities, etc.,
are an excuse for being too lazy to make new music and/or to make some easy money. This is an exception. This compilation counts enough badass barnstormers to get APTBS fans in an intoxicating rush of bafflement. Kudos to mastermind Ackerman for assembling a worthy collection of tracks that could have ended up on any of their 3 last albums.

SINE – Texan Electronic Boom Artist Beeches On Repeat On New Single ‘CRUEL’

Posted on by JL

Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine

7 April 2026

Artist: SINE
Who: Austin, Texas-based musician Rona Rougeheart, who blends dance beats,
sub-bass, rhythmic synths, and industrial elements into an overall sound that
she describes as ‘electronic boom’.

Track: CRUEL
The final single from her new upcoming album, named
La Mordre, out on May 22nd. Tracklist and order info here.

Sine: “The song is about people who purposefully choose to be cruel to others.
The words are both sarcastic and serious and I like the contrast of the lyrical
content against the upbeat nature of the music, which otherwise makes it a
fun dance track.”


Album artwork

TUTV: From the word go, you get caught up in a spiraling whirlwind of chemical
brothers electronics and a salvo of EBM beeching. Sine‘s sensual vocals roll over it,
repeating this thump-thump whopper’s crucial question, “Is it cool to be cruel?”
I guess we all know the answer.

Hey boy, hey girl.
Time for your wake-up
trance.

of MONTREAL Announce 20th Album – Hear Flaming Fuck Single ‘WHEN’ Here

Posted on by JL

Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine

4 April 2026

It’s already 30 years (time flies indeed) since Athens, Georgia-born Kevin Barnes
launched his band oF MONTREAL, named after a failed romance between him
and a woman ‘of Montreal‘.

Barnes just announced their 20th LP, titled Gethermead.
It will show up on 6 June. Tracklist and order info here.

The album was made following a lot of personal upheaval including a breakup
with his then-fiance which found him relocating from Vermont to Brooklyn.

The lead single, named WHEN is a flaming, riff-packed rocker.

Barnes: “‘When’ is mora a song about yearning, sadness, confusion, frustration, than it is a song about having sex. I’m hiding behind a shield of sexual bravado and pretending as if my only needs are physical. It’s very transparent that I’m longing for much more than just libidinal fulfillment, but those other things are being withheld.’”

“When can I fuck you again?”
