Canadian group Nap Eyes have announced The Neon Gate, their first album in three years, which will be out October 18 via Paradise of Bachelors. There is a lot going on thematically on this record, including musical adaptations of poems by W.B. Yeats (“I See Phantoms of Hatred and of the Heart’s Fullness and of the Coming Emptiness”) and Alexander Pushkin (“Demons”), while other songs were inspired by an online Dungeons & Dragons campaign and Nintendo video game Wave Race 64.

Philly emo-punks Brackish will follow their 2022 self-titled album with a new EP, Rear View, on September 27 via self-release. The band made it at NJ’s Landmine Studios with drummer Zach Miller and Tim Fitzpatrick engineering and producing, and first single “Lay Down” finds the band dishing out a big, soaring emo-pop song that would fit nicely next to anything from The Early November (whose Ace Enders worked on their last album) to newer torch-carriers like Arm’s Length.

Today, the newly minted Hard Quartet of Stephen Malkmus, Emmett Kelly, Matt Sweeney and Jim White have made their official debut with the release of the “Earth Hater.” The gritty, leftfield track arrives as the first sample of the alternative forerunners’ new ensemble and, in the band’s terms, “an entirely new steppe in the ecosystem of guitar-bass-drums-voice agriculture.” To celebrate its bold new direction, The Hard Quartet also released a stop motion music video for “Earth Hater,” directed by rapper and producer EYEDRESS.
