Today, rising alt-country singer-songwriter Jack Van Cleaf released his sophomore album JVC. And if you’re a sucker for self-deprecating, existential songwriting with strong melodies like me, it’s a release standout. He’s already gotten a good bit of traction, having opening slots for Noah Kahan, Briston Maroney, and Madi Diaz. He’s even struck up a creative relationship with polarizing country super star Zach Bryan, who’s featured on the album.

Alt-rock legends Garbage are releasing their new album Let All That We Imagine Be The Light at the end of the month. We’ve already heard the single “There’s No Future In Optimism” and now they’ve shared another called “Get Out My Face AKA Bad Kitty,” which calls out patriarchal bullshit. “When I was young, I didn’t really notice how things worked,” Manson shared. “People like to shuffle older women off the lot, because you start to see the chessboard in a way you didn’t when you were younger.

Personally, I think it’s a bold move to have a self-titled single in addition to a self-titled album, let alone announcing both of them simultaneously. But, sometimes, audacity is a beautiful thing to behold. Such is the case for the seven-piece group from Ann Arbor, MI named Racing Mount Pleasant. Today, they’ve pulled off the trifecta, sharing “Racing Mount Pleasant” and announcing their forthcoming debut album Racing Mount Pleasant.

At the beginning of this year, the Weeknd dropped Hurry Up Tomorrow, the follow-up to 2022’s Dawn FM. The pop star cinephile also hasn’t given up on his film career yet. He’s releasing a film of the same name on May 16, which co-stars Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan. Seems like he’s preparing to remind us of this big venture by dropping a new remix of his Playboi Carti collab “Timeless” featuring the extremely in-demand Doechii.
