Next month, San Diego nouveau shoegazers Sparkler will release a new album called Glidewinder, and we already posted the bliss-drunk lead single “Postal.” Today, Sparkler share a smeary, pretty new track. It’s called “Come Today,” and it does the things that shoegaze tracks are supposed to do. The sighing harmonies and sculpted guitar noises are…

Blues-rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter Artur Menezes has released his powerful new single “Once Again,” available now on all digital platforms. The track arrived March 13 and serves as the first single from his upcoming full-length album, dropping just ahead of his highly anticipated performance at Lollapalooza.
“Once Again” showcases a bold step forward in Menezes’ evolving sound. Built around down-tuned guitars, thick walls of fuzz, and immersive psychedelic textures including synthesized guitars and synth bass, the song leans into a heavier and darker sonic direction while maintaining the groove and feel that define his artistry. Menezes’ commanding vocals sit at the center of the track, revealing a new level of maturity and control. Lyrically, the song explores heartbreak and the emotional aftermath of a breakup, capturing the weight of being unable to move on and the tension between memory and reality.
The single was produced by Pops Magellan, whose vision helps shape the sonic identity of both the track and the forthcoming album. Magellan brings a focused and expansive production style that balances raw power with depth and atmosphere, allowing the heavy riffs, layered textures, and dynamic shifts to feel cinematic while maintaining the grit at the core of Menezes’ sound.
All material for the upcoming album was written and performed by Menezes on vocals and guitars, highlighting his hands-on and personal creative approach. He also contributes bass on “Once Again.” The track additionally features Pops Magellan on bass and synth bass, Aaron Haggerty on drums, and Sara Williams on background vocals. The single was mixed by Randy Emata and mastered by Fili Filizzola.
Known for his electrifying guitar work and fearless stage presence, Menezes has earned a reputation for pushing beyond traditional blues boundaries. With “Once Again,” he continues that approach, expanding into heavier and more alternative territory that bridges blues roots with modern rock and psychedelic elements.
The upcoming album will be released independently, reflecting Menezes’ commitment to artistic freedom and direct connection with his audience.
Born in Brazil and based in Los Angeles for the past decade, Menezes recently became a U.S. citizen and continues to build international momentum as he prepares to release new music and bring his evolving sound to stages around the world.

It’s that time of the week again. Time to get through one last day of work before the weekend comes and saves us all. With that in mind, we’ve got some of today’s new releases here that we think you should check out.
Shadow Arc Suite (Self-released)
This ain’t your regular inclusion on our weekend STCOT. No, this is an avant-garde piano composition — albeit one coming straight from the mind of Imperial Triumphant keyboardist/bassist/vocalist Steve Blanco. That may sound like a little out of our regular wheelhouse, but this is enough of a wild ride that we think at least some of you guys will enjoy the hell out of it.
Starveil (Self-released)
Eluveitie co-vocalist and harpist Fabienne Erni put out her own solo work and it’s a proggy, symphonic, and sorta poppy slab of music. She’s incredibly talented and this new release proves that in spades.
Into Oblivion (Epic)
We’ve been talking about this album for long enough that I don’t need to get too deep into this. It’s chock full of grooves and it’s pissed off at the state of the world. Play it loud.
Screams From Beneath The Surface (Metal Blade Records)
After eight years away and a massive shift in their lineup, Florida technical death metal outfit Monstrosity is back with a new release. It’s hard, fast, and brutal in all the right ways, so if you like incredibly destructive death metal, this is it.
A Sinner’s Child (Heavy Psych Sounds)
This new EP from Swedish psych rock band Witchcraft features all kinds of chilled out, groovy riffs. That’s not to say they don’t get heavy on this thing too.
Other Shit That Comes Out Today:
Against I, Anti Life (Twisted Flesh Recordings)
Alkhemia, Häxen (Non Serviam Records)
Blood Red Delusion, Bloodlust Awakening (Blood Red Delusion)

My Chemical Romance were arguably the most theatrical band of the ’00s Myspace emo boom; their only possible competition is, what, Panic! At The Disco? And given that there has already been a Broadway musical based on Green Day’s American Idiot, it’s pretty easy to imagine another one being built on the bones of 2006’s The Black Parade, that decade’s other mega-successful punk concept album. When MCR first toured behind that LP, their show already looked something like a Broadway musical. Now, it looks like an actual MCR theater spectacle is in the works.

“Knife In The Heart” is much more jubilant than the title suggests. The latest song from indie pop fixture Lykke Li is a waterfall of whistles, claps, bongoes, and sprawling EBow textures. It’s lush and anthemic. The new track, the follow-up to last month’s “Lucky Again,” is the second single from her forthcoming album The…
