Today, Lael Neale is sharing the official video for the new song “Some Bright Morning,” which is available now on all streaming services worldwide from Sub Pop.
An outtake from this year’s critically acclaimed Altogether Stranger, “Some Bright Morning” is an uptempo burst of lo-fi rock n’ roll in the tradition of Loaded-era Velvet Underground (think “Train Comin’ Round the Bend”). The track is powered by a blown-out vintage drum machine and pairs Neale’s signature Omnichord with the driving rhythm guitar and explosive backwards soloing of her producer and accompanist, Guy Blakeslee. Neale’s radiant vocal shines throughout.
The song’s protagonist, like all of us, is searching for meaning and belonging in an increasingly polarized world, driving through civilization and filling up the gas tank yet again as world events take ever stranger turns. Neale’s poking fun at the “grass is always greener” mentality that results from the dominant gospel of salvation through consumerism, the marketplace of endless self-help products and techniques, a hamster wheel that’s always pulling us out of the present moment.
Describing the “Some Bright Morning” music video, in which she performs chores on her family’s farm, Neale says, “My dad is a farmer, and as I watch him working, day in and day out, I realize being an artist is very similar. Both are tending to work that is never done, in service of a broader life-long vision. There’s always more to do, new approaches to take, and leaps to make in the midst of mundane everyday tasks. You have to be motivated by a belief in what you are doing without attachment to the results. There’s a quiet satisfaction in the daily steps.”
Lael Neale’s fall tour in support of Altogether Stranger begins this Thursday, September 25th in Toronto at Wavelength at St. Anne’s and currently ends December 6th in London, UK at Ivy House. Please find a complete list of dates below.

What People Are Saying About Lael Neale’s Altogether Stranger: “With this album, Neale manages to translate existential torment into strange and beautiful sounds, yet again progressing with the chimerical vision of rock & roll that’s uniquely her own.” ★★★★ ½ All Music
“While oscillating between these conflicting states, Neale delivers her near-apocalyptic songs with eloquence and sangfroid. If Altogether Stranger is Neale bidding adieu to Los Angeles, then it is an unforgettable farewell.” 8/10, PopMatters

Filmmaker, author, comedian, and cultural icon extraordinaire, John Waters, 79, returns with his second Christmas parody single (and third holiday single with Sub Pop), “John Waters covers ‘Little Cindy,’” produced again by his longtime friend and colleague, Grammy-winner, Ian Brennan (Tinariwen, Parchman Prison Project, The Good Ones [Rwanda], Ramblin’ Jack Elliott).
Waters says, “In the tradition of novelty records, which I’ve always loved, this year I pay tribute to one of my favorite hymns that was once included in my ‘John Waters Christmas’ album – sung by the ever-holy child vocalist Little Cindy. I have never been in drag professionally, but with this little sticks-and-stones gift record to bad children everywhere, I channel Little Cindy’s voice and aura, even stumbling over the exact words she did on the original 45rpm version. Little Cindy is beyond saintly in my opinion, a minor miracle, a human spiritual sacrament who brings her devoted sanctity to this psalm of southern sentimentality. For a few vinyl minutes, I hope listeners will agree: John Waters IS Little Cindy.
“Side B is beyond the valley of gimmicks, over the top of parody and underneath the mountain of linguistics, recorded in Pig Latin – a secret dialect my mother taught me in the ‘50s. I don’t take easily to learning a new language but this maddeningly ugly way of speaking is a tongue I eventually licked. I even used Pig Latin in ‘Pink Flamingos’ where Divine’s family skipped, happily chanting, ‘We Are The Filthiest People Alive.’ What better way to remind my public of this lunatic way of communication (even the Three Stooges spoke it in some of their 1930s movies) than to translate this beloved poem into a consonantly confused vernacular? ‘A Visit from St. Nick?’ As-tway E-thay Ight-nay Efore-bay Istmas-kray! See? I’m speaking in tongues! Want to clear your house of holiday party guests who have overstayed their welcome? Just play the flipside of this record, and they’ll run like they’ve just been teargassed! Ig-pay Atin-lay! Learn it, you little devils!” - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - On Friday, November 8th, Sub Pop will continue its expansion into the hot holiday single market with the release John Waters’ new Christmas parody single “John Waters Covers ‘Little Cindy’” b/w “A Pig Latin Visit From St. Nicholas,” available worldwide on 7” vinyl and on all streaming services. The single is available to preorder now.

All of these wonderfully twisted releases are available from Sub Pop.

Today, September 12th, Guerilla Toss has released their latest long-player, You’re Weird Now, available worldwide on CD/LP/Digitally from Sub Pop.
With You’re Weird Now, Guerilla Toss reclaim the word “weird” for everyone brave enough to let their freak flag fly and stay true to their artistic vision, no matter what—a way riskier act than it’s ever given credit for, and one that requires a certain amount of serene self-confidence that it takes time and effort to cultivate and sustain.
While in Vermont recording their new full-length album, frontwoman Kassie Carlson would prepare what she called ‘punk lunch’: a communal meal made by raiding the studio fridge for whatever was left and assembling a sandwich from the most random ingredients imaginable.
Regularly joining punk lunch were two legends from their own corners of the weird music world: Stephen Malkmus (Pavement, The Jicks) and Trey Anastasio, Phish guitarist and owner of The Barn, the recording studio where Guerilla Toss made You’re Weird Now, with Malkmus in the producer’s seat. Also at the table were engineer Bryce Goggin, who has worked with Malkmus since Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, and Ben Collette, Phish’s longtime engineer at The Barn.
While the idea of the guy from Phish and the guy from Pavement sitting around with Guerilla Toss, congenially assembling sandwiches from random foodstuffs dug up from the depths of a studio fridge, might seem absurd, it also makes total sense. Because really, if there’s any band that serves as the natural bridge between slacker punks who saw Pavement way before you did, wild-eyed wooks who’ve seen Phish more times than you ever will, and even the eccentrics in ’90s drip following former GT tourmates Primus—it’s Guerilla Toss. A band so imaginative and unapologetically themselves, they’re basically the real-life manifestation of a utopian, post-snob world where all musical ideas are worthy of expression and everyone is welcome.
Beginning tonight, Guerilla Toss will embark on a 28-date North American run. This tour includes standout dates in Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle, Los Angeles, Austin, and Brooklyn, culminating in Boston, MA, on October 19. See below for a complete tour routing.

Flock of Dimes today shares a new single and lyric video for “Defeat,” a sublime new offering from her forthcoming album The Life You Save, out worldwide Friday, October 10th, from Sub Pop.
The absorbing new visual feature is directed and edited by digital artist and animator Sabrina Nichols, shot by frequent video collaborator Spence Kelly (“Long After Midnight,” “Afraid”), and features Flock of Dimes’ Jenn Wasner throughout.
Wasner says of “Defeat,“ This song represents a moment of total surrender. It’s about the moment I finally allowed myself to accept my own powerlessness, and started the process of learning how to step back and allow others to face the consequences of their actions. It features a moment of melodic counterpoint that became a sort of mantra for myself as I attempted to make my way through this process—I’m inside it, after all. This realization—kindly first introduced to me by someone I love who sees me clearly—was something of a breakthrough for me. Learning to see myself as a part of a dynamic (rather than separate, having escaped) was an important step in changing my own behavior—which is, ultimately, the only real agent of change over which I have any sort of control. Three years after I wrote it, the work continues—I am still working on trying to see myself not as some kind of savior figure, but just another flawed human being, doing her best.”
Flock of Dimes will support The Life You Save with headlining US tour dates in November and December. The east coast run begins Thursday, November 6th in Philadelphia at Johnny Brenda’s and ends Wednesday, November 12th in Saxapahaw, NC at Haw River Ballroom. The west coast run will start Monday, December 1 in Seattle, WA at Barboza and runs through Friday, December 5th in Los Angeles, CA at Zebulon. Tickets are on sale now.

What People Are Saying About Flock of Dimes: “Her thoughtful, intricately layered ballads on The Life You Save, grapple with codependency, addiction, responsibilities and limits, with how much anyone can help someone they cherish.” New York Times
“Clear-eyed and unflinching… She articulates her feelings in lush folk ballads, whose effortless warmth belie the challenges facing Wasner.” - [The Life You Save] 8/10, Uncut
“Another warm, twilit ballad.... In the video, directed by Spencer Kelly, Wasner is surrounded by projections of her younger self. It looks as pretty as the music sounds.” [“Afraid”] - Stereogum
“Beautiful new song ‘Long After Midnight’ is sharply poetic, the dulcet acoustic guitar line reminiscent of Joni Mitchell’s jazz-adjacent chording. The tender, single-take visual stars Jenn and is directed by Spence Kelly – highly evocative, it feels like a courageous step forwards.” CLASH
“A beautiful acoustic meditation about offering help against your better judgement.” [“Long After Midnight”] The Guardian
“In true Wasner fashion, it’s honest, raw, and beautiful.” [“Long After Midnight”] The AV Club

What People Are Saying About Nation of Language’s Dance Called Memory: “The real deal…” ★★★★ MOJO
“The band’s fourth LP and Sub Pop debut is danceable, eccentric, and immaculate at once…” ★★★★All Music “For Dance Called Memory, the trio — Devaney, his wife and right-hand synth wizard Aidan Noell, and bassist Alex MacKay — once more teamed with LCD Soundsystem/Holy Ghost! member Nick Millhiser as producer. Together, the crew pushed the edges of NOL’s sound, creating something expansive enough to capture the weight of grief and loss that coursed through these new songs.” Stereogum
“Dance Called Memory, continues its study of synth-pop from the late 1970s and early ’80s. The new record adds more guitars to the mix, tempering the machine-made with a human touch.” New York Times
“It’s a fuzzy electronic project that’s both introspective and danceable, with flanged New Order–styled guitar parts sprinkled in to give their sound a refreshed feel.” FLOOD
“An instantly appealing synthpop track, melodic and understated. It’s a grower.” [“Inept Apollo”] BROOKLYN VEGAN
“The New York trio capture the tension between the need for creative expression and its futility by offering some romantic, rejuvenating synth pop.” [“Inept Apollo”] “100 Best Songs of 2025 (So Far),” Consequence of Sound
“There is something instantly transportive about Ian Richard Devaney’s voice, which leaps with an operatic ease, yet maintains a soft-focus diaphanousness as it curls around lyrical transmissions just vague enough to feel applicable to any situation.” [“Inept Apollo”] “Staff Pick,” EXCLAIM!
“…shades of my bloody valentine adorn the guitars, while the jagged post-punk aspects are illuminated with Human League style synths.” [“I’m Not Ready for the Change”] CLASH
“’I’m Not Ready For the Change’ is imbued with some psychedelic pop accents reminiscent of Animal Collective and MGMT.” Consequence of Sound
“It’s a blinky synth track with a rickety drum-machine beat and a whole lot of dreamy effects on the vocals and guitars. I’d say it fills up a room quite pleasantly.” [“I’m Not Ready for the Change”] STEREOGUM
“Ian Devaney’s vocals wash over a minimalist soundscape of bright synthesizers and oscillating strings, the sparse textures shining a spotlight on his yearning.” [“Under the Water”] “Best New Songs” - PASTE
“Further emphasizing the malleability of their synthetic pop impulses, this track initially appears to be a slow saunter through the woozy landscapes of ‘80s pop before allowing a bristling dynamic energy to carry it along to its conclusion.” [“In Your Head”] Beats Per Minute

Today, Hannah Jadagu is sharing a new official video for “Gimme Time,” a new pop ballad and standout from Describe, her forthcoming sophomore album out October 24th, 2025 worldwide through Sub Pop. The track was co-produced by Jadagu and Sora and mixed by Blue May in Los Angeles, and mastered by Heba Kadry in Brooklyn.
As for the ”Gimme Time” video, which was co-directed and edited by Jadagu and collaborator Sam Wilbert, it was filmed in and around the mountains around Estes Park, Colorado.

What People Have Said About Hannah Jadagu: “Like ‘My Love,’ Jadagu’s single from two months back, ‘Doing Now’ is phenomenal.” STEREOGUM
“New single ‘Doing Now’ is ace – potent and intentional, it finds Hannah wrapping her words around one of her best melodies to date.” CLASH
“A cozy, feel-good love song about wanting to be with the person you miss. Jadagu keeps it light and sweet here, with a bouncy beat and a soft undercurrent of longing.” [“My Love”] NYLON
“Hannah Jadagu’s “My Love” Is a Force of Nature” “Staff Pick,” EXCLAIM
“As an artist with a chameleon-like quality, shifting seamlessly from R&B to indie rock, Jadagu’s first preview of her new era is pure electro-pop. In “My Love,” she sings about a long-distance romance, craving to be with the person she’s enamored with and giving them all her time. It’s a song that you can imagine soundtracking a romantic moment in a teen TV show like Heartstopper, that captures the emotions of young love. “ “Best New Songs,” PASTE
