Maggie Lindemann has just announced that her second EP, HEADSPLIT, will arrive out on March 8. Fans can begin pre-saving the record on Spotify and Apple Music here. Plus, listeners can pre-order the eight-track EP on iTunes and in her store on vinyl beginning today, as well. In classic Lindemann fashion, the artist draws inspiration from iconic horror films.

Dallon Weekes is dancing into the new year with I Don’t Know How But They Found Me’s latest single, “Infatuation.” This comes ahead of their upcoming sophomore album, GLOOM DIVISION, which is set to release on February 23 via Concord Records. The companion video for the new iDKHOW track exudes a creepy, mirror-house vibe that elevates the initial lyrics to create an eerie, devotional message. A boppy introduction to the song draws a parallel to a nostalgic reminiscence of the 2010s indie-sleaze sound that has been on the comeback. The opening lyrics, “I need you now/But it’s infatuation/Love is my… Read more »

Guitarist Drew Rapier says they wanted to put out a cover of their favorite Christmas song as a gift for their fans. “It’s one that we’ve always played acoustically at Christmas parties or for our families. We challenged ourselves to create a version of the song that is unique to… Read more »
