Back to old normal?

This sounds quite like the old times.

The Flaming Lips – “Flowers Of Neptune 6″ (Feat. Kacey Musgraves)

Earlier this year, the Flaming Lips released a whole new collaborative album with Deap Vally under the name Deap Lips, which was also called Deap Lips. Their most recent full-length album, King's Mouth: Music And Songs, came out last year, first as a vinyl-only Record Store Day exclusive and then a few months later as a proper release. Last month, Wayne Coyne and company shared a cover of George Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today" that they did for the movie Arkansas. Today, they're back with a new track all of their own named "Flowers Of Neptune 6," featuring fellow psychedelic luminary Kacey Musgraves. In a press release, Coyne writes: "Flowers Of Neptune 6" track started off as a very evocative series of melodies that Steven Drozd had woven together. The first time he played it for me I was stunned by its emotional flow. The 3 sections (well they seem like sections to me) seemed to hint at an older, mature mind reflecting back into a journey from younger innocence then starting to

Aminé – “Riri”

A few months back, the Portland rapper Aminé released "Shimmy," his first new track in a little while. His last big project was 2018's ONEPOINTFIVE, a mixtape-type thing that followed up his impressive 2017 debut Good For You. He spent last year putting out a few stray tracks, including "Places + Faces" and some flips on tracks by Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Tierra Whack. Today, he's back with another new song, "Riri," and yes, that title is a reference to the most famous RiRi per its opening line: "You love Rihanna but you ain't a savage." The song's a bass-heavy thump with a smooth chorus. The end features a comedy bit from Black-ish actor Jak Knight. Check it out below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zn2eb5zxtQ "RiRi" is out now via Republic.

The Number Ones: Joan Jett And The Blackhearts’ “I Love Rock ‘N Roll”

In The Number Ones, I'm reviewing every single #1 single in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, starting with the chart's beginning, in 1958, and working my way up into the present. *** Joan Jett And The Blackhearts – I Love Rock 'N Roll" HIT #1: March 20, 1982 STAYED AT #1: 7 weeks A hard, deliberate snare roll. A sudden, thunderous power chord. A drum beat that sounds like a stadium full of football fans stomping in unison. And then a voice — strong, androgynous, raspy, distant. She's got some kind of accent — "me" becomes "maaaay" — but you can't really tell what accent it's supposed to be. "Saw him dancing there by the record machine," she sings. She sounds both bored and annoyed about this particular 17-year-old, but she takes him home anyway. The level of swagger on "I Love Rock 'N Roll" is out of control. The song is so thuddingly simple, so elemental, that it could easily turn hokey and ridiculous. Instead, the opposite happens. The song already sounds totemic by the time

RMR – “I’m Not Over You” (Prod. Timbaland)

Back in February, a mysterious masked R&B singer who called himself RMR — apparently pronounced "Rumor" — made a strange and compelling debut with the beautiful, funereal goon-music song "Rascal." It's probably the most fascinating thing that anyone has ever done with a Rascal Flatts hit. Since then, RMR has come out with the follow-up single "Dealer," as well as a remix with Future and Lil Baby. And now he's announced his debut EP and teamed up with one of the all-time great R&B producers for another song. Timbaland produced RMR's new single "I'm Not Over You" — or, rather, he co-produced it with Eminem/Anderson .Paak collaborator Andre Brissett. On the song, RMR returns to the quasi-country heart-wounded lilt of "Rascal," begging and pleading beautifully to an ex. The beat marries explosions of digital bass to a lonely banjo. We few, we happy few who paid money for the deeply underrated Bubba Sparxxx album Deliverance already know that Timbaland has a real gift for mutating

Club Intl – “Crush” (Prod. Johnny Jewel)

New supergroup alert! Johnny Jewel is the producer behind a whole array of bleary, dreamy, cinematic synthpop projects. Chromatics, is best-known group, released the album Closer To Grey last year, and their long-awaited Dear Tommy is apparently still forthcoming. Lately, Jewel has also been releasing music with Desire and remixing Angel Olsen, and now he's part of a new group called Club Intl. Jewel isn't the frontman of Club Intl. Instead, the man in charge is John Eatherly, the former Be Your Own Pet member who once led the New York indie rock band Public Access TV. Cults singer Madeline Follin is also a part of Club Intl, as is Cults collaborator Maxwell Kamins. Johnny Jewel produced the band's debut single "Crush," a delirious piece of woozy, synthy indie-pop. Jewel's music, it turns out, sounds a whole lot different if there's an indie rock dude singing. Jewel also directed the "Crush" video, which fits his whole watching-a-'70s-exploitation-flick-while-high aesthetic. Check it
