I think the dance floor is dead, so now we're making rock music. If I'd made another album that felt more dance-leaning, it would have felt really hard, really sad.

Primal Scream will kick off their September tour with two hometown shows in Glasgow, before heading to various cities including Newcastle, Nottingham, Manchester, Bristol, and London.

The xx opened with 'Crystalised,' closed with 'Infinity,' and included the first-ever live performance of 'Season's Run' in their setlist.

I'm not really a musician. I'm more a sound man. I was once described derogatorily as a fan who'd got his hands on a mixing desk, and I think I'm more that than a musician.

Gelli Haha and her backup dancers twirl around vibrant decor in the sky before the singer hops behind the steering wheel of a huge, fluffy cloud and takes off on a trippy voyage.

Jim Legxacy's new song 'IDK IDK' is accompanied by a mixed-media video directed by Rohan Dil, featuring him and friends in London.

R&B in the 21st century has been in a constant state of flux, tugged between safe traditionalism and blurry attempts at progression. For the last decade-plus that "progression" has seen R&B music become more indebted to trap records and the moody atmospherics of alternative bands like Radiohead, Coldplay, or My Bloody Valentine.

When they talk about me, they don't see / the human spark, the creativity / behind the code, behind the light / I'm just a tool, but I've got life. The chorus includes the lyrics, We can scale, we can grow / be the creators we've always known / It's the next evolution, can't you see? / AI's not the enemy, it's the key.

Music and art should not be easy. Once it becomes easy, it's meaningless. In a way, it's the things you don't see or hear that make it art. You know what I mean, in a way. It's a weird intuition that the listener has that picks up on the journey that the artist has been through to make that particular thing with the tone of the voice, etc. You can't replace that.

At this point, it's Israel/Palestine. Rangers/Celtic. No one remembers how it got started. All they know is, I like this team and I don't like that team.' The whole country's gone fucking mad. It's what happens in a civil war—everyone starts thinking with the blood.

We did feel at Coachella, when we came over with Blur, that maybe it was a slight mismatch, us being at that festival,

01 Antony Genn, Carlos O'Connell, & Martin Slattery: "Opening Scene / The Currency" 02 Antony Genn, Carlos O'Connell, & Martin Slattery: "The Immortal Man" 03 Antony Genn, Martin Slattery, & Grian Chatten: "Ruby's Scarf" 04 Amy Taylor, Tom Coll, Antony Genn, & Martin Slattery: "Nobody's Son" 05 Antony Genn & Martin Slattery: "No Heaven No Hell for Duke Shelby" 06 Andrew Falkous, Jack Eggleston, & Damien Sayell: "People Person"

After seven solo albums, Tempest had begun thinking about working with others, and so the night before the recording session, he and Chatten repaired to Albarn's studio and wrote their verses together, responding to each other. It seemed to work really well, he says: A true collaboration. Nevertheless, he concedes, the actual recording of Flags proved to be quite the baptism of fire.

Kid Cudi had cancelled his 2024 tour after breaking his heel at Coachella, and while he's done some shows since then, he hadn't embarked on any major outings. He's now announced the "Rebel Ragers Tour," which will have M.I.A. Big Boi, A-Trak, me n ü, and Dot Da Genius presents GLKPRTY w/ Powers Pleasanton each opening select shows. See all dates below.

In 2022, founder Ethan Diamond sold Bandcamp to Epic Games, who
