Hater – "Angel Cupid"
Swedish band Hater shares their new single, "Angel Cupid," reflective of a more skeptical view on love songs.

Their upcoming album, Mosquito, is set for release on March 6. And here’s a thought—does a song need to be perfect to hit home, or is honesty in vulnerability more powerful? Let us know what you think in the comments.
Daughter – "Not Enough"
Celebrating a milestone this year, Daughter's 2016 album Not To Disappear turns a decade old. To mark this occasion, they've released a previously unreleased song called "Not Enough," which was written during those early recording sessions but never officially released. The band revisited this track in late 2025, recording it in London with all members together, bringing back the raw energy and nostalgia from their initial work. It’s a lovely example of how artists can reconnect with and breathe new life into old material.
Flore Laurentienne – "Régate"
Quebec-based composer Flore Laurentienne, aka Mathieu Gagnon, previews his upcoming album Volume III, arriving April 10 via Secret City Records. The track "Régate" showcases intricate layering, with shifting melodies that evoke rapid changes in perspective, culminating in a stunning use of harp sounds. Gagnon employed vintage methods, such as reversing harp tracks and recording reverb tails backward—techniques reminiscent of the 1970s, inspired by Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon. The use of a classic EMS Synthi synthesizer adds an extra layer of rarity to this hauntingly beautiful piece.
A.G. Cook – "Offscreen"
As Charli XCX prepares to release her A24 mockumentary, The Moment, A.G. Cook has shared a pulsating new piece titled "Offscreen." It offers a glimpse into the film’s score, hinting at the innovative soundscape Cook is crafting for the project.

The Notwist – "How the Story Ends" (Lovers Cover)
After five years, The Notwist is back with their album News from Planet Zombie, arriving in March. Their latest single is a fresh cover of Lovers’ song "How the Story Ends."

J. Cole – "Disc 2 Track 2"
