Ahead of a packed run of UK shows, the slacker icon talks to NME about End Of The Road, new talent, surviving hype, hosting his first Mac’s Record Label EOTR showcase, keeping things intimate, and his next move
Riot grrrl legends Bikini Kill have announced a 2026 US fall tour. The trek kicks off on September 6th in Portland, with stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and more before wrapping up in Brooklyn on September 25th. See the full schedule below.
Tim Presley is back with his first White Fence album in six years. It’s titled Orange and will be out April 24 via Drag City. He made it with friend and collaborator Ty Segall at his Harmonizer II studio in Los Angeles. Ty plays drums on the album, as does Dylan Hadley (Cate Le Bon’s band), Alice Sandahl (ex-La Luz) plays keyboards, […]
Tim Presley has announced the first new White Fence album since 2019’s I Have to Feed Larry’s Hawk. Produced by Ty Segall, Orange arrives April 24 via Drag City. Star of Julia Ducournau’s Titane—and Presley’s wife—Agathe Rousselle helmed the music video for lead single “Your Eyes.” Watch it below. In press materials, Presley said “Your Eyes” is about “Love/loss, addiction/rehabilitation, and a good […]
Dylan Bird is joined by Ty Segall ahead of his upcoming Australian tour to chat about his memories in the country, the evolution of his voice and sound, the process of making his latest album Possession and the role of music during social and political unrest.
After reuniting in 2019, Bikini Kill have continued to tour, but they were quiet for much of 2025. That’ll change this year though, as they’ve announced new shows following their headlining set at Oakland’s Mosswood Meltdown. They’ll be on the road in the US in September, and you can see all dates below. The NYC shows wrap up the […]
Bikini Kill are hitting the road again. Kathleen Hanna and her band, who’ve toured consistently since reuniting in 2017, will play shows across the United States in September. They’re also set to headline Oakland’s Mosswood Meltdown on July 19. Check out all of Bikini Kill’s 2026 dates below. 2019 saw Bikini Kill play their first full shows together since 1997. In 2024, […]
The unflappable musician discusses returning to his calling of building songs from scratch after becoming preoccupied with other DIY projects in the garage and at home. Mac DeMarco is a true follower of the DIY path. It’s where he’s always felt at home, making his songs of woozy, deeply felt, gently melodic indie rock, telling personal […]
Written and recorded over the course of a month in November 2024 at his Los Angeles home, Guitar leaves the edges raw. There’s tape hiss lingering in the background, an intentional looseness, and a voice that slides effortlessly into an ethereal falsetto. “I didn’t overthink too much about what I’m doing. It felt like magic, and I […]
After the “intermission”, King Gizz and the orchestra behind them twinkled into the full ten minutes of fan favourite, ‘The River’, followed by another ten-minute epic ‘Crumbling Castle’, opening up the mosh pits and sending the audience swirling. At least two dozen people under the Hall’s dome were carried over the heads of fellow onlookers […]
Ezra Furman today shares new single titled “One Hand Free”. The track was recorded during the studio sessions for Goodbye Small Head, her LP released earlier this year via Bella Union. “One Hand Free” comes accompanied by a video shot by JJ Gonson featuring Ezra accompanied by an assortment of birds, lizards and myriad other species. […]
For how unabashedly bizarre his music can be, Ty Segall is an affable guy. Settled on an outdoor couch, sipping from a Pacific Coast Highway mug, his measured cadence makes a real case for oceanside life’s tranquilizing effect. At times, that breezy tone is tough to square with his reputation for grinding rock’s cutting edge […]
In a press release, Ezra Furman described her new album, Goodbye Small Head, as “twelve variations on the experience of completely losing control.” Asked in a late June interview if this was a new idea for her, and if she was traditionally someone who needed to have a firm grasp of the steering wheel, she paused. […]
On stage, DeMarco projected a charismatic, likable and humorous persona that went beyond his simple attire of a baseball cap and a T-shirt. He mostly roamed around holding a microphone as his excellent touring band played around him, although he did put on a guitar for a few numbers. DeMarco was also entetaining with his […]
While Bandcamp’s default pricing for albums is set at $9 (with tracks at $1.50), the company says artist are still able to set “pricing in a way that reflects your goals, your audience, and the value of your work.” The novel pricing move by King Gizzard, implemented on Sept. 5, opens up their digital catalog with a no […]
In 2024, when they had a day off from their two-day, three show run at Colorado’s Red Rocks, the band took a field trip to Buena Vista to check out the site, “Michelle [Cable], our manager, who is the best, started looking for sites and this was a place that came recommended from some friends. […]
Today he’s talking to me down the line from a farmhouse on British Columbia’s Gulf Islands, where he’s decamped with his girlfriend Kiera McNally to grease the wheels for his own next world tour. He recently helped his mother Agnes move to a new home in Victoria, and bought his own tumbledown place a couple […]
DeMarco has become only more popular in the past decade. “Chamber of Reflection,” a teetering, synth-driven track from “Salad Days,” is ubiquitous on TikTok, and has been streamed nearly a billion times. DeMarco himself has more than twenty million monthly listeners on Spotify, a remarkable number for a dude who plays dazed, quivery guitar songs […]
Mac DeMarco tackles independence, self-discovery, and the importance of life seasons in his heartfelt single “Home.”
The lead single from Guitar is a soft, twinkly meditation called “Home,” and it’s all about the relationship that DeMarco has to his birthplace in British Columbia. It’s a short song, but it’s long enough to evoke a real bittersweet longing for something that you can’t always have. To make the video, DeMarco brought his camera onto […]
The indie singer-songwriter’s seventh album, Guitar, arrives Aug. 22
Ty Segall came up through the late-’00s West Coast garage-psych scene that also gave us the Oh Sees, The Intelligence, White Fence, and more. For a while, he was matching those artists’ output with a constant barrage of albums, including solo releases and through his various side projects. These days, 17 years since releasing his debut […]
Possession is billed as Ty Segall’s sixteenth album, but that feels about as underreported as the tip jar at an anarchist cafe. You have to factor in the slew of side projects as well, like Fuzz, GØGGS, and Freckle, the last of which being a new band with Color Green’s Corey Madden, which put out an unreasonably slept-on self-titled […]
With each decade, musicians who’ve been in the game since they were a kid get to add a little flair to their performance style, like badges on a Boy Scouts sash. John Dwyer and David Barbarossa are such unshakeable giants at this point that listeners tend to associate them with a specific sound: garage rock […]
For years, Ezra Furman’s music embraced protest and defiance. Now she’s striking a different chord.
Furman’s 10th studio album, Goodbye Small Head, was written in the wake of illness, sociological terror, collapse, and creative exhaustion. She recently spoke with Paste about invoking tropes of humiliation, deviance, and rebellion by repurposing them through the lens of agency.
There was no trepidation to be found during Spellling’s set at Great American, where Cabral’s body-bending theatrics and captivating command of the stage stood in stark contrast to the insecurities she sings about on her newest album.
‘Portrait Of My Heart’ shows Cabral, who has spent her nearly decade-long career building her own universe, not relishing comfort but raging against its vast expanse
Nevertheless, she describes Portrait as “a creative resurgence” and “a way to bridge the gap” between SPELLLING the artist and Chrystia the person: more forthright, more honest, less cloaked in mystery. The price of a small identity crisis in the process is one she’s come to terms with. Through asking the big questions like “Who am I?” […]
“[‘Fantastic Tomb’ is] an energy-charged anthem that would feel right at home on classic rock radio.” – Paste “Segall sets his hard-luck narrative to the grind of a fried electric guitar riff, while a smattering of keys and blustery saxophone solo further bring his story to life.” – Paste “[‘Fantastic Tomb’] explodes with color; every element sounds […]
