Yasmin Williams has announced that she’ll follow 2021’s excellent Urban Driftwood with a new album, Acadia, on October 4 via Nonesuch (pre-order). She says:. I’m so proud to finally present Acadia to y’all. It’s my most sonically expansive work to date and features an array of accomplished musicians and friends including Immanuel Wilkins on saxophone, Aoife O’Donovan and Darlingside on vocals, Marcus Gilmore on drums, Kaki King and William Tyler on guitar, Dom Flemons on bones, and more artists who played phenomenally. I played several instruments on the album, including, but not limited to, many kinds of guitars, calabash drum, kora, and banjo. The sonic world of the album ranges from classically minded folk music to full rock with jazz influences and everything in between.

Just days after performing in Central Park for Good Morning America, Green Day began their ‘Saviors’ stadium tour at DC’s Nationals Park last night (7/29). They opened with “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” the first song on their new album Saviors, and then, as promised, they went on to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Dookie and the 20th anniversary of American Idiot. They began by ripping through Dookie in full, from its fiery opening track “Burnout” to its hidden track “All My Myself,” and they followed the album with a few more Saviors songs (“Look Ma, No Brains!,” “One Eyed Bastard,” “Dilemma”) and a few others from throughout their career (“Know Your Enemy,” “Minority,” “Brain Stew”).

Shoegaze greats Drop Nineteens made a masterful return last year with the great Hard Light, their first new album since the ’90s, and this year they gave their 1992 debut album Delaware a long-overdue reissue. They haven’t done much in the way of touring, though, having only played six shows since getting back together (they were very good at their Brooklyn show in April). They’ll remedy that, a little, on a short fall tour leading up to their appearance at Levitation 2024.

On his new  solo single, “Justice Will Shine On,” System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian reflects on the generational turmoil his ancestors have felt since the Armenian Genocide. He opens the song by asking his grandfather to speak of his childhood, before the genocide, and the anguish builds into a miasma of frustration that you can see on his face in the music video. “We are the children of all the survivors/Justice will shine on,” he sings in an angular melody over tortured riffs that he recorded with his backing band, the FCC. “We are the demons of...
