Animal Collective thrilled fans with their surprise release of “Love on the Big Screen,” their first new song since 2023, marking both a return to their lo-fi experimental roots and the launch of their latest tour starting in Philadelphia. The new single, which prioritizes immersive instrumentation over lyrical hooks, reaffirms the band’s place in the evolving pop landscape, drawing positive reactions across social media, according to Atwood Magazine. Meanwhile, Wet Leg delivered their highly anticipated second album “moisturizer,” as reported by The Daily Music Report, showcasing a more emotionally open direction with standout tracks like “CPR” and “davina mccall,” signaling their maturation beyond the initial hype of their Grammy-winning debut. Other notable releases this week include fresh albums from MF Tomlinson and Paul McDonald, broadening the indie and singer-songwriter offerings for listeners.
In R&B-dance, j.aaron dropped the buoyant new single “Around We Go” via Gahara Records, blending genres and continuing to build his eclectic catalog, as highlighted by Earmilk. Industry news is buzzing with Spotify’s ongoing confrontation with Turkish authorities; Music Ally reports that the streaming giant may exit the Turkish market amid rising censorship and regulatory challenges, which could have significant ripple effects for both local artists and global playlist culture. Long-running rock acts also made headlines, with Foreigner announcing “Feels Like The First Time: The Foreigner Musical” slated for 2026, as revealed by DailyFly, promising to bring their classic hits to a new theatrical audience.
Fans of reissues have reason to celebrate, with SuperDeluxeEdition noting that Sting’s early solo albums, including “The Dream of the Blue Turtles,” are now out in expanded editions exclusively in Japan. Jethro Tull’s “Still Living in the Past” also receives a deluxe expansion, featuring remixes and historic live material. Looking back, The Current reminds listeners that today marks the anniversary of Talking Heads’ influential album “More Songs About Buildings and Food,” produced by Brian Eno and remembered for its danceable sound and unique cover of “Take Me to the River.”
