Snail Mail might have the most 'stars, they're just like us' pre-show ritual of any working rockstar: After a quick guitar warm up and a necessary styling consult with her partner, Etta Friedman, Snail Mail hugged her friends goodbye and made her way to stage.

The 3xLP set is pressed on 180-gram vinyl and housed in a triple gatefold jacket featuring pop-up components and a subway map lithograph, making it a unique collector's item.

The Rooftop at Pier 17 is set to kick off its highly anticipated Seaport Concert Series on May 2, launching what organizers are calling its biggest season yet.

Pacha New York aims to serve as a meeting point where global electronic artists, local creatives, and next-generation audiences can converge, fostering a vibrant dance culture.

Snail Mail's new album 'Ricochet' marks her return after five years, showcasing her growth as an artist and her evolving sound in the music industry.

Los Thuthanaka, who made Pitchfork's 2026 Album of the Year, will play Brooklyn's Elsewhere on June 4, showcasing their acclaimed music to a live audience.

You could go anywhere in America and argue with some success for the cultural impact wrought by most of the once-subcultural stars of Lizzy Goodman's oral history of New York's post-9/11 rock scene, 'Meet Me In The Bathroom.' Or, for God's sake, Jeff Chang's history of hip-hop, 'Can't Stop Won't Stop.' But to explain this era to someone who hasn't devoted their psyche or youth to 'indie rock,' you'd need to spend a whole dinner, and maybe a few drinks afterwards, justifying why the tentpole events that 'Us v. Them' returns to multiple times in its 300-page run mean anything.

Between our daily coverage, our Notable Releases and Indie Basement columns, and our monthly punk and rap roundups, we post tons of new music all the time here on BrooklynVegan. In an effort to keep track of all the new music we're excited about, we've been posting a new playlist each week with many of the songs we love that were (mostly) released that week.

When he's not making proggy folk as a solo artist, Richard Dawson gets his skronk on as part of proggy new-wave art-rock group Hen Ogledd. Despite my attempts to do so in the previous sentence, the band are hard to succinctly describe: they can pivot from warm synthpop to mossy faerie folk to baggy Manchester shuffle beats to dense prog and even flashes of hip hop. Hen Ogledd are weird, but also welcoming.
