Album Review: IDLES – Ultra Mono
As children, we are innocently subjected to the sheer power of nursery rhymes. Yes, there is power in...
Lars and the Magic Mountain are galvanized by cosmic love on new single “Invincible” (BPM Premiere)
With billowing strings and increasingly soaring backing vocals painting beautiful images of orange-kissed skies for the listener, Kroon's modest rumble cuts through the track's hypnotic grandeur and keeps us grounded and directed to the tangible romance of his words.
“In A Rush” sees Twenty Committee slow it down to contemplate dysfunction (BPM Premiere)
ominously looped cello, a cryptic piano lead, and crashing snares form a chaotic storm, setting up Rodger's beautifully salient vocals to cut through as the calm amidst it all.
Hi, How Have You Been?: One Year Without Daniel Johnston
In observance of this day, we spoke to nine artists, who have in one way or another, been profoundly struck by Daniel Johnston's art and overall nature. So we asked each artist just one question: "What has Daniel Johnston's music/art meant to you, one year since his passing, and has he/it shifted meaning since?"

Wasuremono are William Southward, Madeline Ryan, Phoebe Phillips, and Isaac Phillips, and today, BPM is happy to premiere “Let’s...
“dream sequence” is yet another fuzz-pop gem from ShitKid
No, "dream sequence" is not the blistering garage rock that listeners experienced with Duo Limbo/"Mellan himmel å helvete. However, it does fall in line with the alluring fuzz and vocal melancholy of the record's previously released three singles, and the bass-driven "dream sequence" is the best of the bunch.
Sen Morimoto takes a darker turn with new single “The Things I Thought About You Started To Rhyme”
"The Things I Thought About You Started To Rhyme" is a brooding slow death march tinged with a goth-y milieu, made possible through a devastatingly heavy bassline and other fogy productions nuances.
