illuminati hotties, the indie-pop outfit fronted by LA's Sarah Tudzin, have emerged as one of 2018's most exciting new bands following the release of their acclaimed debut album Kiss Yr Frenemies on Tiny Engines. Tudzin, joined by her band Nathaniel Noton-Freeman, Tim Kmet, and Dean Kiner, will be spending this fall on the road -- including dates with Diet Cig, Los Campesinos!, and Vundabar -- and today they released a video for 'Cuff,' featuring animation by Sam Lane. NPR premiered the clip, calling it 'a portrait of hope'and adding, 'Tudzin's debut [is] a record that balances humor and heart, illuminating the ways in which we cope with coming into our own, no matter our age.'

Peter Bjorn and John return with their eighth full-length studio album this fall when they release Darker Days on October 19th. Written almost immediately after the release of 2016's Breakin' Point, the band decided to strip away the noise and take it back to a simpler time where it was just the three of them, playing music together and releasing albums every other year. The 11 songs on Darker Days reflect this move, showcasing each member's unique songwriting style while sounding resolutely like a band that has played together for nearly 20 years.

On September 21, Carl Broemel will release Wished Out via Stocks In Asia / Thirty Tigers. The album marks his third solo release and follow up to 2016's acclaimed 4th of July. Today, Broemel released the video for the title track to the forthcoming album.

Novo Amor has unveiled the official video for his new single 'Utican', which premiered earlier today on The FADER.

Saintseneca's Zac Little has been thinking a lot about memory. Not necessarily his memories, though they creep in often, too. Rather, he mulls over the idea of memory itself: its resilience, its haziness, how it slips away as we try to hang on, the way it resurfaces despite our best efforts to forget. LISTEN TO PILLAR OF NA VIA SPOTIFY
