Meet Samia.

Her new single, “Django,” is out today on Grand Jury, and there’s more where that came from. The piano-led ballad recalls some of the low-lit charms of Tobias Jesso Jr, the hushed immediacy of Phoebe Bridgers, while drawing from the same well of sharp-witted lyricism as Liz Phair. It’s a tongue-in-cheek ode to the depth and fleeting nature of teenage sorrow, and the perfect introduction to her world.

She’ll be at Rockwood on Monday night. If you’re in New York and you’re not there, you’re doing it wrong. So we’ll see you there?

Today marks the release of Twin Peaks’ Sweet ‘17 Singles, the 12″ and digital compilation of all six 7″ singles included in last year’s subscription series. You can get this beauty over in our shop right now, or from your favorite digital shop here.

But you want to see the guys play these songs live, you say? Easy Tonight the band begins its very-sold-out tour with the freshly Grammy’d Portugal. The Man. But if you’d rather catch the guys in a slightly more “intimate” room? Look no further than the March & April headline dates alongside GJ-faves The Districts. Tickets here. Long story short: new record, new dates, new happiness.

Today Haulm have released the witchy, slow-burning “Work For Us.” Stream it, buy it, love it here. But more importantly, the duo have a big announcement: on March 30th they’ll release their debut EP. It’s called Stay For Me. And it’s gorgeous. More on that soon.

But in the meantime, this new song?! “Work For Us” melds the downtempo eeriness of debut single “They Came Along,” with producer Reed Kackley’s crackling, Burial-esque punchiness and vocalist JT Norton’s sweetly somnambulant vocals. All of that will be on display this Saturday and next Monday in Brooklyn as the group make their live debut at Elsewhere 2/27 and Baby’s All Right 2/29. Tickets in the tour section.

Today is a busy one for Hippo Campus. In a few hours they’ll be kicking their winter tour in Bozeman at a sold out Rialto, while just this morning we’ve unveiled a new music video for “Buttercup.” The video, animated by the incredibly talented Noah Farrar and Dolorondu, is a kaleidoscopic sugar high of color and energy that gamely matches the landmark standout.

Meanwhile, Bozeman isn’t the only show that’s sold out on this upcoming tour. Massive rooms in LA, Brooklyn, Seattle, Chicago and the band’s hometown Minneapolis are sold out too. If you’re lucky enough to have a ticket already, do send us pictures. If you’re in one of the other cities, stop waiting and scoop up your tickets now. They won’t be around much longer.

Today we’re thrilled to announce a new addition to Grand Jury, LA’s Western Scene. Yesterday the 405 unveiled their new single “Strange but True.” “Conceived by frontman Tom Pritchard as a joyous fall into the unknown, ‘Strange But True’ is a euphoric track with a heady edge,” says the 405. “There are traces of a few styles running throughout the song — I particularly could hear something that could only be described as ‘Shins-esque’ — but all the pieces meld into one chugging shot of aural endorphins.” Today you can get those aural endorphins wherever you stream your music. More soon.

Twin Peaks are back with the final two Sweet ‘17 Singles, the news that they’ll be releasing ALL 12 tunes from the series on a 12″ LP February 9th (pre-order here), and a grip of new tour dates going on sale Friday. We’re not worthy of such generosity, but we’ll take it.

Today is the day. Hippo Campus’ warm glow EP is now available to hold in your beautiful hands. If you ordered it from us or the band, you should have your copy now (how you liking it, btw?). If you didn’t, you should be en route to your local record store to snag a copy right now. Seriously, stop reading. Unless you don’t know where your closest record store is. In that case, our friends at Record Store Day have this handy store locator here. Use it.

Meanwhile, our dudes are currently out on the road touring across the great states of America. Full list of shows and tickets over in our tour section. Bonus: if you go, you can also get that gorgeous 2XLP version of landmark and warm glow up there. And if you don’t, you can still snag it in the GJ shop, where we also just launched – several years late… – shirts.

If it’s not obvious, we’re pretty big fans of Chicago around here. So it warms our windy city hearts to announce this new single, “The Times I’m Not There,” a collaboration between our very own NE-HI and Chicago soulstress Jamila Woods. It’s a reworking of an LP1 NE-HI cut with all new verses and melody from Woods. And if that’s not enough, the proceeds from the streaming and sales of this single will be going to Chance The Rapper’s Chicago-based arts empowerment charity, SocialWorks. Get it here.

In other NE-HI news, the band is out on the road this fall with Chad VanGallen and Whitney, before capping off 2017 with a NYE show w/our boys Twin Peaks. Check the tour section for all dates.

Following on the heels of the Brooklyn duo’s well-received debut, “They Came Along,” today Haulm has officially shared a new single called “Settle.” Premiered yesterday via Earmilk, the downcast pop song is an eerily lit showcase of JT Norton’s haunting melodies and Reed Kackley’s minimalist production. Think Rhye meets Burial, or a woozier Francis & The Lights. More from these guys soon.

NE-HI will begin slinging a new super limited-edition 7″ on the road tonight at their Red Bull gig in Chicago alongside Whitney. So instead of making everyone outside of the Chi wait, we’ve released the B-side, “Long Time,” a day early as well. Spin it. Smile.

If you pre-ordered the 7″ from our shop or Bandcamp, it should be on your record player already (or about to be ASAP)! And speaking of gigs, NE-HI is set to hit the road again now. Check the tour section for a full list of dates.
