Always unique, and forever pushing boundaries, Don Broco are never ones to follow the trend and the new album Amazing Things, which will be released on the 22nd October via Sharptone Records, is very aptly named. It’s yet another genre-bending masterpiece with electro, rock, pop, metal and more all wrapped up in their own unique blend, bringing to mind the likes of , , and amongst others… but simultaneously sounding like nobody else on earth. Amazing Things is the band’s fourth album, and follows the release of 2018’s Technology, which was a Top 5 album in the UK charts and has had over 100 million streams to date, and also 2015’s Automatic, which provided the band with their first Top 10 album in the UK.

When Post Animal stepped into the studio for their new album, it was the first time all six original members were in the studio together for nearly a decade. Three band members had recently relocated away from Chicago, not to mention Joe Keery having left the band in 2017 to focus on acting. In the end they started right back up at the beginning, rediscovering that uncompromising closeness of connection they all shared from those endless hours spent in practice spaces and the late-night diner runs that follow. Prolonged stretches of time together not only reinforced the strength of their friendship—it reinvigorated their music. “If you want to get one hour of good painting in, you have to have four hours of uninterrupted time,” David Lynch once said. The product of a few straight weeks together, IRON (due July 25th) not only finds them reunited with Keery but is the embodiment of 30 days of camaraderie and unbound musical exploration, their renewed connection ironclad.

Originally a raw, visceral blues-rock outfit inspired by the likes of such juke joint rockers as , the Black Keys have expanded their purview after mastering their garagey roar with Rubber Factory in 2004. Making the leap to the major-label , the duo of guitarist/vocalist and drummer Patrick Carney dove into heady psychedelic territory, sometimes assisted by producer . The band's collaborations with the adventurous hip-hop producer opened the doors to a variety of sounds, colors, and textures, a broadened palette they'd channel onto sharp songs on their platinum-selling albums Brothers and El Camino, both arriving in the early years of the 2000s. After the trippy 2014 album Turn Blue, the Black Keys took an extended hiatus through the back half of the 2010s, during which time set up his Easy Eye Sound studio and label. The duo returned with renewed vigor on 2019's Let's Rock, maintaining that momentum with the blues covers album Delta Kream in 2021 and the hard-grooving, guest-heavy Ohio Players in 2024.

Writing music is when I am the most honest - which I suppose is strange given that those listening are, for the most part, the ones I know the least. But now and then I meet someone who listens to my music and I’m struck with the realization that we understand each other in a way that is actually quite profound. These people are lovers, they’re heartbroken, and they’re inspired. They’re hungry to hear their stories told back to them in new ways, they’re deep thinkers, and they really know me. My music is quite like them - it’s vulnerable, authentic, and open hearted.

Julia Laws spent her formative years on Fidalgo Island off the coast of Washington State. Emerging from the region’s DIY music scene, Laws steadily built her distinctive sonic identity. After moving to Los Angeles, she began to produce and record her own music, releasing Ronboy’s first EP Velvet in 2020. Matt Berninger (The National) took notice and invited Laws to record and perform with him while promoting his debut solo album, Serpentine Prison. Berninger and Ronboy later collaborated with Resynator on a cover of Tom Petty’s “Only a Broken Heart” in 2021. In the summer of 2022, Ronboy released her debut album, Pity To Love. Amidst release, Ronboy joined Jade Bird for a handful of tours on bass and vocals, and she later pinch-hit on bass for IDLES at the band’s LAFD benefit show in Los Angeles.

The Beths know the futility of straight lines. This existential vertigo serves as the primary theme on the New Zealand indie heroes’ fourth album Straight Line Was A Lie (their first for new label ANTI-). The Beths posit that the only way round is through; That even after going through difficult, transformative experiences, you can still feel as though you've ended up in the same place. It's a bewildering thing, realising that life and personal growth are cyclical and continual. That a chapter doesn’t always end with peace and acceptance. That the approach is simply continuing to try, to show up. “Linear progression is an illusion,” lead singer and songwriter Elizabeth Stokes says of the album. “What life really is is maintenance. And finding meaning in the maintenance.” The path from The Beths’ critically celebrated and year-end-list-topping 2022 LP Expert In A Dying Field to Straight Line Was A Lie, written in Los Angeles and recorded in the band’s hometown of Auckland, was also anything but straightforward. For the first time, Stokes was struggling to write new songs beyond fragments she’d recorded on her phone. She’d recently started taking an SSRI, which on one hand made her feel like she could “fix” everything broken in her life, from her mental and physical health to fraught family dynamics. At the same time, writing wasn’t coming as easily as it had before.

Man-Made Sunshine is the side project from Conor Mason (Nothing But Thieves), which was developed during lockdown, with Conor channelling his own self-discovery into a very personal musical project that blends elements of alt-indie, psych-pop and electronica into an experimental fresh new sound. He says: “I started with the question of 'Man-Made Sunshine' - am I able to find it and make it myself, or is it made for me? The project is ultimately about inner growth - I headed into some heavy places to find healing from loss and focused on thoughts and feelings around death, grief of others and my old self.”
