Thurston Moore
20 BEST TRACKS OF THE MONTH – SEPTEMBER 2025
ALL TOGETHER
.
TRACK BY TRACK
– 1 –

Band: KASABIAN
Who: British star rockers from Leicester. One of the best bands
of the past 25 years on record and on stage, in my book.
Track: HIPPIE SUNSHINE.
Lead single from their forthcoming
9th LP. Details TBA.
TUTV: Expect a mega vitalizing, disco-charged haymaker.
Since co-founder/songwriter/frontman Serge Pizzorno pulls
all the band’s strings he provides dynamite tunes you can
throw 24-hour parties with.
Yoohoo.

Band: GURRIERS
Who: Post-punk upstarts from Ireland.
They released their debut LP Come And See
last year.
Track: ERASURE
TUTV: These young Irishmen punch left and right with puisssant post-punk panacherie.
Hit here, hit there, hit everywhere. Best thing about Erasure is, you can bounce like a ping pong ball to it. If its bang-up drive doesn’t make you go bonkers, I recommend to check your shrink. Pronto.

Band: SPRINTS
Who: Irish post-punk whirlwind, led by charismatic
voice/songwriter/guitarist Karla Chubb.
Track: BETTER
Along with Something’s Gonna Happen, my top fav track
on their brand new, second LP, called All That Is Over.
TUTV: Every time I play this pure punk-rock gem, I feel way better. Fact. No, it doesn’t
have that by now known Sprints quiet/Loud/quiet progression. It’s Better‘s striking swagger, superb groove, excited duet vocals, and infectious guitar play that make this one of the best cracking tunes they ever wrote. Hallelujah!

Band: BIKINI BEACH
Who: Three turbulent indies from Konstanz, Germany.
They released their boisterous 5th album Cursed last
February.
Track: BRAIN TILT
TUTV: This ferocious wham bam uppercut doubles your adrenaline production instantly. Loud, nasty, brutal and red-hot are the keywords. Roasting post-punk at its fieriest best. Titanic stroke. Hells bells!
The single comes with a video filled with live and tour footage, captured in the last
couple of months as the band is constantly on the road since the release of ‘Cursed‘.

Track: OVERSTIMULATED
Title track from their brand-new debut LP.
Discover the album here.
TUTV: Lobsterbomb‘s passionate punk razzmatazz works like a nuclear magnet.
Their vigorous vivacity is infectious and Nico Rosch‘s piquant vocals perk up your
troubled mood. Move your furniture and start a solo mosphit.

their boiling debut longplayer Who Let The Dogs Out and their spectacular shows.
Track: CUNTOLOGY 101
The Girlzz invited legendary queer artist Peaches do a remix of their LP’s closer.
TUTV: And? Fuckin’A! Queers rule the dancefloor.
Smell the cunty spirit, move your lazy ass and
shake your hot booty.

Band: PINS
Who: Power pop trio
from Manchester, UK
Track: I’LL BE YOURS
Their first new music since their
fab 2020 EBM album Hot Slick.
TUTV: Feel the funky bravado vibes. Move to the bootylicious groove,
surrounded by torching guitars. Swing yourself around the booming
beats. Hear the sensual vocals. Pump up the Pins jam. Welcome back.

Artists: PRINCESS UGLY
Who:J. Christopher-Rome and Christopher Moncrieffe – from Portland, OR
who are influenced by goth, post-punk, darkwave, and adjacent genres.
So far, the tandem has released two albums.
Track: THE OUT
“Even as the things we perceive as negative can sometimes light our way with an
unsettling brilliance, we look away. Tear it all up. Everyone is looking for their out.”
TUTV: Hypnotic beats. Limbs activating eurhythmics. Pounding bass drones.
The darkwave EBM duo strikes again with a nightclub killer. The Out has a 2025
doom and gloom vibe. The future isn’t predictable anymore. Let’s ignore its
demons for 200 seconds and dance. NOW.

Artist: BEDROOM JUNE
Who: Singer-songwriter from Hamburg, Germany who transforms personal fractures into delicate electronic pop songs that oscillate between vulnerability, alienation, and a quiet longing for closeness.
Track: DISTRACTED BY YOU
Piece from her New EP. It tells of inner vulnerability, the search for
connection, and small moments of clarity—all wrapped up in a warm,
electronic indie pop sound.
TUTV: Propelled by enrapturous bass reverberations, luminous synths and sultry vocals, this jagged jam takes you on a whirling ride. Trust me, you will be attracted, not distracted by this swift thrill. Startling stuff.

Artist: ROSIE STUART
Who: Restless Belgian singer-songwriter who writes raw songs
in stark contrasts: 100 percent black and white, with no room
for gray.
Track: VEGAN
Debut single from her
upcoming debut EP.
“Rosie reveals her most vulnerable side, though an impenetrable wall shields her deepest longings. She carries an intense energy, is uncomfortably honest, and constantly balances between bravado and self-sabotage.”
TUTV: This exorcistic cry out gives you the creeps. Tension and danger in the air all
the way, fueled by Stuart‘s agitated vocals. No birds and bees here. Vegan resonates
like a wandering soul screaming in the darkness, hoping to get saved. Goosebumps.

Artist: ASSASUN
Who: Berlin-based dark-techno-wave artist
Alexander Donat (Vlimmer, Fir Cone Children, WHOLE)
“Sound-wise, you could imagine Assasun operates somewhere between irate Clipping, a parallel timeline of early Nine Inch Nails, and Sleaford Mods on a havocked, misanthropic hotel lobby techno party. In short: dense, raw, uncompromising.”
Track: POISONALAN
Opener from his 4th LP, named
Retrofate. You can stream it here.
TUTV: I don’t how many hours Berlin has in a day, but I think it’s definitely more than in other countries as Alexander Donat‘s musical production with his 3 different projects is off the charts. Anyway, this dark-techno-wave stomper from his new LP is one to play out loud, while going berserk on a trampoline.

Band: LADYTRON
Who: British electro pop act, still with three of their original members, since 1999. Restarting now and then, they recorded/released 7 LPs so far with Time’s Arrow
from 2023 as the most recent one.
Track: I BELIEVE IN YOU
TUTV: It’s a new single shared without any further info,
but sources whisper that a new album is coming in the
near future.
Anyway, I Believe In You is an undisputable dancefloor thrill. Pounding percussion, bouncy and breezy synths, airy vocals, and a galvanic beat combine for a light-hearted pop gem.

Artist: MILES KANE
Who: British mod vet
who started his voyage in 2004.
Track: WITHOUT YOU
Newest single from his 6th full-length, baptized
Sunlight In The Shadows ready for release
on October 17th.
He wrote all songs with blues rock tandem The Black Keys.
TUTV: Kane is a retro rocker/popper at heart. And he’s very good at it.
Here he offers some of Marc Bolan‘s T.Rex glam rock grooviness. Hot love,
indeed.

Band: LOVINA FALLS
Who: The dark dream-pop project of Boston-based singer-songwriter,
multi-instrumentalist, and producer Valerie Forgione. In 2023, they released
their debut album, Calculating The Angle Of Our Descent.
Track: ABOUT THE SUN
Piece from their brand-new 5-track EP
Would That I Were. Stream it here.
TUTV: The band swing your ears between a bewitching torch reverie
and a power pop melody. The process repeats itself a couple of times,
around Forgione‘s seductive voice. Riveting. Am I the only one who thinks
that Chris Isaak is on guitar here and there on the slow part? Well, that’s
what my ears tell me.

Artist: MR BILLY FRITZGERALD
Who: Dublin-based singer-songwriter writing lush indie-pop songs that
simultaneously bathe in the faded light of heartbreak while pulling you
on to the dancefloor.
Track: YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE
Latest single from his debut album
A Grand Romantic Gesture,
released last February.
“Billy tackles enduring a vicious break up, wading through the emotional
carnage that accompanies it and coming out the other side.”
TUTV: With his chirpy high-pitched voice, his jazzy swagger, and his songwriting
prowess, Fritzgerald takes you back to the 60s/70s for some Motown soul excitement. Sexual healing ambiance.

Artists: peach|melba
Who: Queer femme indie duo,
half Brighton and half Los Angeles.
Track: HAVE A LATTE
Their 4th of the year, more to come
every six weeks of the year.
pIm: “It’s a raucous anti-genocide anthem recorded and mixed by us and features our trademark duo vocals, oscillating between unsettling quiet and raucous chaos set to a Severance-costumed video, but filmed in a swimming pool, naturally.”
TUTV: This new drone sounds like a vintage, raw bass/drum pounding
uppercut from the late Steve Albini’s band Shellac. No arty-farty production,
nor special effects for these two punkettes. What you hear is what you get.
Have A Latte has a poignant, garage punk edge as if it were recorded in, eh,
a garage without tuning up the instruments. In the end, it’s the real, honest
sonic deal that matters.

Band: DOPAMINE FIX
Who: Fresh Irish indie duo who’s manifesto says a lot about them:
“With a nod to the Dadaists, we create Post Punk, Experimental and
Electronica which aims to unnerve, to disturb and to question.”
Track: WELCOME TO THE SHARKTANK
Debut single.
“The song erves as a record of how dysfunctional and broken our world is. This single is a soundtrack for the alienated and the awake, those treading water in a dystopia they never asked to enter.”
TUTV: Ominous tension hangs all over this feverish and foreboding psych jam incited
by angstful guitars. A sign of the times. Welcome To The Sharktank isn’t a song about the birds and the bees, it’s about today, about 2025 and the uncertain future. Anxious vocals amplify the inauspiciousness in the air and get out of control in the end. Scary reality as
we know it.

Artist: THURSTON MOORE
Who: The former Sonic Youth top dog.
Track: TEMPTATION INSIDE YOUR HEART
TUTV: The tireless Moore treats us with a cover of a song by
The Velvet Underground. Not a really famous one. It dates
back to 1968, but did come out much later, on a VU
compilation from 1985.
It’s a fooling around, riff-rotating VU ripper
spiced with Lou Reed‘s characteristic vocality.

Artists: BRIAN ENO and BEATIE WOLFE.
Who: The ambient sound wizard and the Anglo-American songstress.

a fertile musical collaboration.

at the same time, titled Luminal and Lateral.

the pipeline to be released on October 10th.

Atmospheric, enchanting, and magnific

It’s a fooling around, riff-rotating VU ripper
spiced with Lou Reed‘s characteristic vocality.

Workaholic THURSTON MOORE Has 5th Solo LP In 7 Years Out In September – Hear New single ‘SANS LIMITES’
22 June 2024
Former Sonic Youth force THURSTON MOORE
has his 5th solo LP in 7 years ready for release.
At the age of 66 he doesn’t slow down whatsoever. Over the past months
he released 3 singles, but just now he announced that they’ll be on a new LP,
named FLOW CRITICAL LUCIDITY . It’ll show up on September 20.
More info here.
Along with the news comes another new piece, titled
SANS LIMITES, featuring Stereolab’s Lætitia Sadier.
Moore in a statement via Clash magazine: “Sans Limites” begins with a cyclic
guitar & piano figure which expands further and further with each revolution before
settling into a two-chord measure introducing lyrics intoning not only about eradicating
any limitations towards enlightenment, but going beyond limitations. The idea that
a soldier can fight the good fight. A warrior against war.”
