Quickdraw: Tunde Adebimpe, Yawners, Julia & The Squeezettes, Kinski, Sleigh Bells
Enjoy.
Tunde Adebimpe – Drop
On the heels of releasing one of my favorite songs last year, TV On The Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe has announced his debut solo album – it’s titled Thee Black Boltz and it’ll be out April 18. I recommend tossing on some nice headphones before hitting play on this vibe-y number.
Yawners – Merienda-cena
Hey look, it’s Yawners with their second infectious single this year. Here’s hoping they’ll announce a new album soon.
Julia & The Squeezettes – Cue Cards (Lync Cover)
Julia Kugel (The Coathangers, Julia, Julia), Staz Lindes (The Paranoyds), Bonnie Bloomgarden (Death Valley Girls), and Rikki Styxx (The Two Tens) are Julia & The Squeezettes, and they just dropped this Lync cover from an upcoming 7″ that will also include the original version of the song. I’d like more of this collaboration, please.
Kinski – Experimental Hugs
Here’s a great two-minute blast from rock vets Kinski, who are set to put out a new album titled Stumbledown Terrace on March 7.
Sleigh Bells – Wanna Start A Band?
I really have to give it up to Sleigh Bells, back when their debut album, Treats, was all the rage in 2010, I didn’t think they’d still be churning out unwieldy bangers in 2025. By the way, for those in Austin, they’re playing the Mohawk on May 25.
