Jeremiah Chiu has announced his new album, Edge Conditions, and shared the lead single, Plastic Mind / Elastic Machines, accompanied by a feverish and surreal animation by Korey Martin. The album has been described as a shining display of Chiu’s range and depth as both a composer and producer, in which every facet of his collaborative work and sonic personality feels represented.
Today, Natalie Wildgoose has released Rural Tapes, a live EP of songs taken from Rural Hours – “I made Rural Tapes during a day of heavy rainfall up north, there was nothing else to do other than stay indoors, windows open and play the piano.”
Riffing off 70’s soul while recounting the ICE raids in Los Angeles during June 2025, Big Trouble, the Los Angeles based project led by Justin Kohlberg (Moonrun) and Daniel Talamantes, have shared their new single Dange, ahead of On Elephant Hill, their forthcoming album on Royal Oakie Records.

On “Run Around,” Chase Elodia turns love-song clichés inside out. The Brooklyn drummer and poet’s vocal debut, “Real Ones,” is due October 23rd on Long Echo Records. After hearing him sing, you can understand why he has been compared to Arthur Russell — a relationship heightened by his new single’s strong percussive elements, calling to mind the groove-driven avant-garde of Russell’s World of Echo.
Marvin Tate’s “Controlled Burn” is a hallucinogenic portal into a world that’s similar to ours, but the furniture is rearranged. Recorded as duo improvisations with longtime collaborator Leroy Bach, then remodelled and refined into the tightest 12 tracks, the method is brave, and the results speak of the angelic geometry of the universe within.
Alex Dupree’s “Talking to the Dog” is outsider-folk made with a completely unique eye for lyrical detail. Dupree moves between country twang, cosmic psychedelia and soulful confession with the ease of a picaresque poet-jester-troubadour. You could pick any couplet and it would stand against the best lyric writing of the last sixty years. Let’s hope he finally gets the credit he deserves.
Elanor Moss’s debut “The Knife, The Needle” balances a quiet, subtle mode of expression with a searing intensity of feeling. Arrangements create an all-enveloping sound in which the little lyrical razor blades are skilfully hidden. There is nothing loose or mild about her artistry. She is in full control of every moment, exposing the soft tissue of human emotion with unerring accuracy.
