She’s also shared lead single ‘Not In Your Mouth None Of Your Business’

Peaches has shared details of her first album in 10 years, titled No Lube So Rude.

Set for release on a currently unspecified date in 2026, the LP is preceded by lead single ‘Not In Your Mouth None Of Your Business’, which the Canadian artist recorded in Berlin with producer The Squirt Deluxe.

In a statement about the album, Peaches said: “When the world is friction, lube isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity. It’s how you turn that friction into pleasure, into power, into pride. I want people to understand that they can still have a voice no matter who they are or what the world says about them. Now…

Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore Unveil Joint Album, ‘Tragic Magic’


The two artists’ debut collaborative album is out in January

Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore have shared details of their debut collaborative album, Tragic Magic.

Spanning seven tracks, the new record was written and recorded in just nine days – a mark of the “musical telepathy” of the two artists, Barwick said in a press release. Arriving in Paris from Los Angeles to record together, shortly after the 2025 wildfires in LA, the sessions paired improvisation with the ideas and emotions they had brought with them.

The two artists were given access to the instrument collection of the Philharmonie de Paris’ Musée de la Musique for the recording sessions. Lattimore selected three harps dating from between 1728 and 1873, while Barwick chose several analog synth, including the Roland…

Cain Is Able: Ethel Cain live in London


Tariq Goddard sees the light, feels the heat and senses the numinous, temporarily at least, when watching the Preacher’s Daughter, live at the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith, London. Live photography by Connie Burke

I have not had as many religious experiences in church as someone who believes in God arguably deserves, but I did undergo one of my most intense musical experiences in one, and I cannot rule out that it may have been divinely inspired. Far from home one Sunday, coming from a C of E culture that emphasised decency while rendering existence itself rather dull, I found myself in a room heaving with strangers, moved to stand and sing along to songs I had never heard before, on…

Dun-Dun Band – Pita Parka, Pt. II: Nim Egduf


Dun-Dun Band

Pita Parka, Pt. II: Nim Egduf

Balearic bliss and free jazz skronk collide on the second album from Craig Dunsmuir’s Toronto-based big band

Pita Parka, Pt. II: Nim Egduf by Dun-Dun Band

As his Bandcamp page wittily affirms, Craig Dunsmuir has been “riffing repetitively since 1992”. The Toronto-based guitarist’s solo works (as Max Gross, Kanada 70, and Guitarkestra) and genre-bending collaborations with Polmo Polpo’s Sandro Perri (Glissandro 70, Off World’s 2) have always been drawn to intricate, shuffling guitar polyrhythms – the riffs’ countless loops equally likely to branch off into Afrobeat, dub, dance music and noisier intangibles. The same method drives Dun-Dun Band, a ten-piece group comprising Toronto creative music scene mainstays that perhaps hold the ultimate expression of Dunsmuir’s jaunty…

The Strange World Of… Chicks On Speed


On the release of their career-defining 5LP boxed set, electroclash guerilla girls Alex Murray-Leslie and Anat Ben-David guide Lucy O’Brien through 10 key Chicks on Speed moments

It tickles Alex Murray-Leslie that Chicks On Speed’s first work in 1997 was a fake box set, part of a live art piece at Munich techno club Ultraschall called ‘I Wanna Be A DJ…Baby!’ She and group co-founder Melissa E. Logan stood at the DJ decks and smashed records to their own sound collage tape. The box set included a T-shirt, cassette, and a paper record for a fake band. “We were really into dada, situationism, fluxus. These movements worked with box sets at times, with various games and concepts,” recalls Murray-Leslie. Now, 28…

Rosa Anschütz – Sabbatical


Rosa Anschütz

Sabbatical

The Berlin-based sound artist makes dark gothy magic from everyday conversations between women

Sabbatical by Rosa Anschütz

It feels an indictment to label someone’s work as gloomy, as though it’s something that happens and not something that’s chosen. But on her latest album, Sabbatical, Rosa Anschütz leans into goth as a genre in a deliberate way. And it’s not only because she features the cawing of crows on a track. Sabbatical is deeply atmospheric with a gloom often enveloping it. While opening track ‘Eva’ is awash with swampy dissonance, it is a misdirect, for the gauzy effects and layers of wordless vocals hide the sharper edged sounds lower in songs.

Anschütz’s previous work touched on a variety of electronic genres from a…

Highlights From Unsound 2025


Reporting from this year’s Unsound in Kraków, Jakub Knera celebrates the return of the brutalist Hotel Forum club venue, while Zachary Cooper dives into Matthew Barney and Jonathan Bepler’s epic River Of Fundament

The Bug and Warrior Queen at Hotel Forum by Mattia Spice

For some, the biggest comeback of 2025 is the return of Oasis; for others, it’s Radiohead’s autumn tour; for me, it’s the return of Unsound’s weekend evening events at Kraków’s Hotel Forum. The brutalist building was opened on the banks of the Vistula river in 1988 after a decade of construction and ceased operating as a hotel in 2002. In 2012, Unsound started to hold the club elements of its programme in this perfect venue. With an…
