Penelope Isles – “I Loved You, Robert Pattinson”
What a year for Robert Pattinson! I thought he was sensational as a wormy little fuck in The Drama, and we’re a few days away from seeing him as Antinous in The Odyssey. Later in the year, he’ll pop up in Dune: Part Three, and he’ll also play Chris Hansen, alongside a debuting Phoebe Bridgers, in Primetime. Also! He and Denzel Washington are the leads of the Fernando Meirelles bank-robbery picture Here Comes The Flood. On top of all of that, Penelope Isles have a new song about how they loved him. That’s pretty good, too!

THE OCEAN Stream New Single Belligerence” From Upcoming Album “Solaris”
The Ocean have shared “Belligerence,” the second single from their upcoming 12th studio album, Solaris. You can check the visualizer video below.
Solaris follows The Ocean’s 2023 album Holocene and is rooted in the late Soviet filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky’s landmark 1972 science fiction film of the same name. As previously reported, the band described Solaris as the most ambitious album of their 25-year career. The album’s lead single, “Light Pollution,” explored humanity’s growing obsession with simulated reality and the pitfalls of 21st-century technology.
Where “Light Pollution” opened the campaign with slow-burning orchestral grandeur, “Belligerence” arrives as a harder, heavier statement — a song that makes deliberate reference to the band’s older catalog while charging it with a fresh and intensified energy. Thematically, the track draws on the same Tarkovsky framework that underpins Solaris as a whole, casting the destructive belligerence of contemporary political leaders against the filmmaker’s probing vision of memory, identity, and the limits of human nature.
The track also carries a direct thread back to Holocene. That album’s closing piece, “Subatlantic,” ended with the line “prepare for departure” — a phrase that now reads as an unmistakable signpost pointing toward the cosmic reckoning Solaris sets in motion.

Vocal duties on “Belligerence” are shared by The Ocean’s new frontline: Enrico Tiberi and Lane Shi. Shi records and performs as Otay:Onii and was formerly a member of experimental rock outfit Elizabeth Colour Wheel. Shi has garnered recognition across avant-garde and contemporary performance circles, having appeared at CTM Festival and the Berlin Biennale, and as part of Austrian choreographer Florentina Holzinger’s widely acclaimed opera Sancta. Both vocalists joined the band following the departure of longtime frontman Loïc Rossetti, part of the sweeping lineup overhaul The Ocean underwent between 2022 and 2025.
Solaris was recorded with a core lineup anchored by founding guitarist, songwriter, and lyricist Robin Staps, alongside longtime bassist Mattias Hägerstrand, new drummer Jordi Farré (also of Crippled Black Phoenix), and guitarists Emmanuel Jessua (Hypno5e) and Marco Gennaro. The album’s extended creative circle includes Thorsten Quaeschning of Tangerine Dream on modular synthesizers, Orestis Zafiriou on keys, Simen Eifring on trombone, and Jiawei Zhang on vibraphone. Jens Bogren — who previously handled mixing and mastering on Pelagial, Phanerozoic I, and Phanerozoic II — returns in the same role for Solaris.

SHORT BUT SWEET: BEYOND DEVIATION / FERAL WOUND / SALT DIVINATION
(Andy Synn is a busy man right now, but still found time to recommend three killer EPs today) Despite the fact that our work here at NCS may give the impression that we’re a professional, well-oiled machine (right?), the truth is that we don’t necessarily plan out everything we do here in advance. That’s not […]

Beabadoobee Shares Off-Kilter New Track ‘Switchblade’
Beabadoobee has shared another piece of her upcoming album ‘Pylon’, a tribute to her love of emo, and it delves deeper into the roots of the genre.

The track is called ‘Switchblade’ and is a glitching, shifting, machine-like piece of slow-burning melody, full of changes of pace and tempo. There are glimmers of noodly riffs hiding below the surface, as there are The Postal Service-esque quips and churns, all serving as a curious amalgamation of the passion and purpose that has inspired this era.
The album ‘Pylon’ will be released on on September 18 via Dirty Hit and Interscope Records. It serves as the follow-up to their 2024 record ‘This Is How Tomorrow Moves’.
The album is set to see Beabadoobee expressing their affection and adoration for emo and alternative music, which is where the guests that bolster it come in. You have Hayley Williams, Turnstile’s Brendan Yates, Deftones’ Chino Moreno, Pinegrove’s Evan Stephens Hall and Title Fight’s Shane Moran all offering up their talents, as well as The 1975’s Matty Healy and George Daniels helping out on production on ‘Write Me a Letter’.
Here is ‘Sun Has Set’:

Deep Sea Diver – “Teardrop” (Massive Attack Cover)
You might think of Massive Attack’s glimmering, perfect 1998 song “Teardrop” as the lead single from their classic album Mezzanine or as the theme of the TV show House. I think of “Teardrop” as the song that was playing on my Walkman headphones during a moment that’s always somewhere near the top layer of my memory.
