New York's most audacious architects of sound, Water From Your Eyes announce details of their new album It's A Beautiful Place, landing August 22nd via Matador Records. Where 2023's Everyone's Crushed reimagined emotional entropy with glitching pop hooks and existential shrugs, this new chapter flings listeners even further out-into galaxies of time, dinosaurs and space. Think Kubrick directing an Adult Swim rerun.

So, post-punk nostalgia seems to be having another moment. You know the story: a young band finds the classics, adds some dub and art-school noise, works on debut with a gatekeeper producer, then either vanishes or ends up opening for Fontaines D.C.But this is not Lifeguard 's story. While the teenage trio from Chicago have all the usual ingredients-angular guitars, infectious exuberance, a fondness for This Heat and Swell Maps- they're not revivalists.

When: 24th MayWhere: Stockholm, SwedenEcho Three Fest begins slowly. It's mid-afternoon, and the unexpected May sunshine has that strangely Scandinavian quality - like it's been through therapy. The doors open into the Slakthusområdet - a place that once dealt in meat, now in music. Beneath the concrete and steel bones of Slaktkyrkanand Hus 7, the third edition of this compact but beautifully curated Stockholm festival starts to hum.

Growing up doesn't stop the past from tapping us on the shoulder-throw on the right song and, suddenly, you're staring through a fogged-up mirror at half-lit fragments of everything you thought you'd left behind. The Balloonist's album Dreamland floats in that space, slowly demisting the glass. First up, 'Look at Us Then,' transports to Summer, 1986. It's warm and granular, sounding almost like Tycho in its sensory immersion.

New Thing just starts. Just a voice, a few chords, and then a feeling that lingers longer than it should. Avery Friedman's debut is like reading Ocean Vuong by streetlight-half of it's about what's said, the rest is shaped by silence. There's that same softness threaded through sharpness, a sense of someone figuring themselves out mid-sentence.

By the time Earthling's debut album Radar appeared in May 1995, the sounds of Bristol's nascent trip-hop movement had already captured the wider public imagination. Massive Attack had firmly entrenched themselves with Protection, Portishead reflected the spiralling political mood with Dummy, and Tricky had pushed into darker corners, hissing poetry for seamier sections of the scene through a ghostly broken telephone.

Dumb Things have been perfecting their breezy, introspective jangle-pop in Meanjin/Brisbane since 2017, starting with a homespun self-titled debut and a more focused follow-up, Time Again, in 2019. On this third outing, Self Help, the five-piece continue down that sun-dappled pathway, but there's a notable deepening of ideas and a warmth that shows how far they've come. They exude a confidence born of testing and refining their craft while keeping their easygoing, Queensland vibe intact.

In the middle of a chaotic summer, somewhere between flooded country lanes and a battered Vauxhall Corsa, lilo began to piece together what would become Blood Ties. Christie Gardner and Helen Dixon had already been writing songs together for nearly half their lives - since school, swapping folk CDs and entering songwriting competitions with borrowed guitars. But this was something else.

For some time Graham Reynolds' music has inhabited a curious space between concert halls, dance theatres and cinema screens. If you've heard his film scores - for Richard Linklater's Before Midnight or the animated intricacies of A Scanner Darkly - you'll know Reynolds' gift for turning scenes into musical landscapes. On Mountain, the map is rather more personal.
