It's a big week for 2hollis: the producer and pop star just announced his new album, Pirouette, and shared a blistering new track, "Warhorse." The song feels like an alter ego to 2024's "Gold," with its blown-out bass and high stakes, emo-inflected vocal performance. It's one of the most energetic tracks he's ever put out, and it's a treat to hear Hollis constantly upping the ante on his own style; "Warhorse" goes from massive and oversaturated to chopped up and bitcrushed, then Hollis rounds it all out with a strangely serene piano outro. Everything is fair game for 2hollis, making each offering an unpredictable foray into his loaded pop vision. — Paolo Ragusa
There shouldn't be much common ground between screamo, chiptune, and UK bassline, but 300SkullsAndCounting and Jenny Sparks make the collision work on “The Ballad of St. Nick’s Park.” Named for a now-demolished skatepark in Leamington Spa, the track turns 300SkullsAndCounting's memories of the place into an appropriately unruly sound, with throat-shredding screams and boyish raps over Jenny Sparks' bouncing low end and toy-like keyboard melody. It makes for an increasingly catchy experience with every listen. — Helena Parada
You might have already been able to guess that the upcoming AMC mystery series Yaga originated in Canada, considering that it stars Canadian actors like Carrie-Anne Moss and Heated Rivalry breakout Hudson Williams. To really cement that fact, here's Alanis Morissette covering "Season of the Witch," as featured in the new trailer for the show. The Canadian icon's soaring vocals meld with some quirky instrumentation, bringing a deceptively low-key vibe to this reinterpretation of Donovan's psychedelic classic. It's all very Canadian — in the best way. — Liz Shannon Miller
Current Joys live up to the title of “CHAOS,” tearing through glitched-out pop-punk with blown speakers, buzzing electronics, and Nick Rattigan's voice fighting its way through the distortion. It's the third preview of ROSEBUD, his forthcoming album out November 6 via his own They Are Evil imprint, and another glimpse at a record built from an unlikely pileup of nu-metal, electronica, hip-hop, and more. Yet underneath the digital wreckage, “CHAOS” is still unmistakably catchy: a simple keyboard line keeps poking through the noise, giving all that overload a clear melodic center. If ROSEBUD is meant to collect the many directions Current Joys has wandered over the years, “CHAOS” shows how naturally those seemingly incompatible sounds can coexist. — H. Parada
Quadeca has readied his new album Life 1 for an October 1st release, and given fans a new preview with "Life 1 (where did the time go)." Like the last single "Hell of a time," the new track features an unassuming blend of natural and digital, led by busy piano, acoustic guitar, and honeyed vocal harmonies that sound like they were lifted from a Justin Timberlake B-side. There's a more experiential, atmospheric emphasis on Quadeca's new material, more content with drawing together evocative soundscapes than offering straightforward pop hits. It's all landing in subtler territory for the Los Angeles artist, making Life 1 one of the most anticipated releases of the season. — P. Ragusa
RIP Magic have made a rock record without guitars, and “Stadium Drive” shows just how little they need them. The London quartet build the song from live drums, synths, samples, and vocals that slip between spoken and melodic delivery, channeling the sensory overload of American sports into something dreamy and enormous. Roaring motors and booming announcements seem to hover around the track's edges before a towering vocal sample cuts through like an interruption from the stadium PA. It's a fittingly oversized introduction to 1,2,3, RIP Magic's debut album, arriving October 30 via section1. — H. Parada
This one's a banger: TEILZ is back with "double," a thumping new track that appears on her upcoming album come to mommy. There's a strong trace of discovery and disco-aided catharsis in "double"; the synths bubble and glow, and the clap-snare that punctuates each beat is mixed with an appropriate thwack. But even with some hi-fi production work, TEILZ keeps it cool and a little silly on "double." "You got me riding in your ambulance/ We dying baby" go the track's opening lines, setting the tone for a playful rumination on inescapable attraction. — P. Ragusa
