I love it when I hear a song that fits into absolutely no known genre rubric and I have to invent some new combination of words to describe it. For instance, if I told you that the London trio Ebbb’s new single “Public” is dreamy chamber-rage, would that even mean anything to you? Do you think that’ll catch on? Or do I have to come up with a stupid nonsense word like blinggaze or something?

Andrew Savage has a new band. The Parquet Courts member, sometimes known to release solo joints under the name A. Savage, has launched Iconic Fugues today with debut single “2025 Dream/2025 Blues.” It’s a shuffling folk-rock track that technically encompasses two songs’ worth of lyrics, though it plays as one seamless six-minute piece.
Keb’ Mo’ has been making music for more than half a century, but he still approaches a song like there is something left to figure out. Born and raised in Compton, California, he came up listening to Nat King Cole, church singers and the blues guitarists who traced the music backward toward Mississippi. At 21, […]
Since 2005, the Portland musician Liz Harris has been making entrancing, quietly experimental music under the name Grouper. She’s a mood-conjurer and a cult hero, and she sounds like nobody else. On the rare occasions that she plays live, it’s a big deal. (She just did a short North American tour last month.) Harris has a few other musical projects, as well. Last week, her dream-pop trio Helen returned, after 11 years of inactivity, with the lovely new album Linda’s Head. Today, Harris announces her first record under her government name.
YUNGBLUD has released official footage of his performance of ‘Zombie’ alongside The Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan earlier this year.
The pair took to the stage together at a Lollapalooza pre-show at The Riviera Theatre, ahead of Dom performing and Billy headlining across the weekend.
The collaboration was officially released as 2025 turned into 2026, and serves as a melding of different eras of rock history in a beautifully affecting manner. And when the pair are on stage together, there is a clear sense of respect as well as a potent stream of energy. It allows the song to feel all the more beautifully affecting and deeply poignant.
It is also the only time the pair have performed the song together, so it feels even more special as a result.

Eddie 9V has released his new single, “Satisfy The Way I Do,” from his forthcoming album Down Here, due November 6 via Easy Eye Sound. The Atlanta-born singer, songwriter, and guitarist has also announced an extensive U.S. headline tour for early 2027.
Produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, “Satisfy The Way I Do” was originally written and demoed in Eddie 9V’s home studio before being reworked during the album sessions. Auerbach helped develop the song’s hook, while the two musicians drew inspiration from their shared appreciation for Derek and the Dominos’ “Layla.”
“Another song I wrote and demoed in my home studio. Working with Dan was key—he smoothly came up with the hook I needed. This song makes me feel like I’m driving in a ’65 Mustang through the Hollywood Hills,” says Eddie 9V.
The single follows previously released songs “Whole Lot Coming For You,” a cover of George McCrae’s “Rock Your Baby,” and “Blowin’ Up,” which has climbed to No. 22 on Billboard’s Triple A chart.
Recorded at Easy Eye Sound Studios in Nashville, Down Here features 12 songs recorded in less than a week. Eddie 9V collaborated with Auerbach, Marcus King, Pat McLaughlin, and Daniel Tashian on the project, which incorporates elements of blues, Southern rock, country, gospel, folk, and R&B.
The recording process marked a change for Eddie 9V, who had previously handled much of the production work on his albums himself.
“It was fast and fluid. Dan really knows how to push me,” Eddie 9V says. “Realistically, it was also the first time where I was able to be an artist rather than to have to act like a producer, too, and think of everything else.”
Down Here follows Eddie 9V’s previous albums Little Black Flies (2021), Capricorn (2023), and Saratoga (2024).
The new release comes after a busy year that included a month-long tour supporting The Black Keys and an appearance with the band on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Eddie 9V will continue touring throughout the remainder of 2026 before beginning his newly announced U.S. headline tour on January 15 in Greenville, South Carolina. The tour will run through February 27 in Denver, Colorado.
Additional headline performances in the United Kingdom and Europe are scheduled for 2027.
