Saul Williams is hitting the road. Following the release of his first solo album in seven years, Leap Life, the genre-defying poet, musician and performer has announced a major run of UK and European headline dates for 2027 — including a London show at Islington Assembly Hall on March 14. The tour announcement arrives alongside a new video for album highlight “The Dagger”, co-directed by Ibrahem Hasan and Karolina Wielocha. The visual arrives as Williams continues to expand t

Edinburgh electronic-indie group redolent are back with “funner”, the upbeat follow-up to their recent comeback single “ok wow”. Where “ok wow” sat in the aftermath of an argument, “funner” heads in the opposite direction — a warm, electronic rush built around a very simple moment of happiness: an ice cream sandwich, a sunset and what the band describe as the “opposite of a panic attack.” The track was born on tour in Texas, with frontman Robin Herbert recalling sitting on An

Franco-American duo Faux Real are back with their sophomore album Poison Time, out now via b4. The 11-track record sees brothers Elliott and Virgile Arndt push their mix of infectious pop, surrealism and full-on performance into more personal territory, without losing the chaos and theatricality that made them stand out in the first place. Alongside the album, the duo have shared a self-directed video for “I Got Mine”, bringing their bizarre visual world to life through physi

Indianapolis five-piece Wishy are back with “Mona Lisa”, the latest taste of their upcoming second album, Nature’s Pill, out October 2 via Winspear. Blending fuzzy guitar pop, dream-pop haze and big indie melodies, “Mona Lisa” kicks off with a swagger before opening into a huge singalong finish. It’s classic Wishy: catchy, slightly off-kilter and packed with enough texture to keep you coming back. The track arrives with a new video and follows previously released singles “Lov

London-born, Isle of Wight-based alt-pop artist Dolly Doops has officially arrived with her debut EP, The View From Here. Out now, the six-track project is a glittering mix of retro-pop, indie synths and infectious grooves, tackling queer love, joy, loss and personal growth without losing Doops’ playful edge. The EP has been 18 months in the making, growing from bedroom-written and self-produced ideas into a fully realised project alongside executive producer Seegz. At its he

Ruby is turning heartbreak into evidence. The indie-rock singer-songwriter has released her new seven-track EP Verdict, a courtroom-style dissection of a toxic relationship that leaves the final judgement firmly in the listener’s hands. Opening with ‘Court in Session’, Ruby builds her case through betrayal, anger, doubt and resentment, before eventually arriving at acceptance. Each track becomes another piece of evidence, with Ruby cast as both witness and defendant. “I prese

Bristol’s newest heavy hitters, Resurrection Men, may have only formed in 2026, but there’s nothing tentative about them. Built from members of SANS, Modern Rituals, Rothmans and Talons, the four-piece have arrived with a simple mission: make loud, immediate music and see where it takes them. Their debut single ‘Holler’ lands September 8, bringing speaker-bulging guitars, jagged vocals and a healthy dose of noise. The track is the first taste of a self-titled debut album writ

New York pop artist RAEGAN is making music like the stage is already set. At 23, she’s carving out her own corner of pop by smashing together Broadway drama, camp, spectacle and brutally honest songwriting — or, as she puts it, “musical theatre pop”. After introducing herself with the gothic, viral chaos of ‘TIM BURTON’, which racked up more than a million TikTok likes, RAEGAN followed with her debut EP FCK RAEGAN*. Now she’s entering her next chapter with RAEGAN CORE, a new

Swedish singer-songwriter Isak Danielson is back with ‘Goodbye To A Lover Again’, a stripped-back new single that turns the frustrations of modern dating into a quietly devastating piano ballad. Out now, the track sees Danielson tackle gay dating culture, the search for validation and the difficulty of finding something that lasts. Built around sparse piano and Danielson’s soulful, aching vocals, ‘Goodbye To A Lover Again’ leaves plenty of room for the emotion to breathe. The
