Leenalchi (EEE-nal-chi) — the seven-piece Seoul-based band led by bassist Jang Young Gyu — have released their new single and video, “Here Comes That Crow” via Luaka Bop! Head to YouTube to watch the official video out now! #

Thank you to the wonderful KLOF Mag for sharing our amazing news today...

Leenalchi (EEE-nal-chi) — the seven-piece Seoul-based band led by bassist Jang Young Gyu — announce their Luaka Bop debut, a new EP entitled Here Comes That Crow, out June 12th, alongside a European and North American tour. In conjunction with today’s announcements, they present the video for lead single and title track, “Here Comes That Crow.” The music of Leenalchi is taken from pansori, a traditional Korean style of musical storytelling often compared to opera. Rooted in shamanism and developed during the Joseon Dynasty (17th century), these songs tell epic tales of love, virtue, sorrow, and dragon kings. As if reverberating in our ears from a spiritual plane, the sounds emitting from Leenalchi's singers are transcendent. Their line-up, as singular as their sound, features two bassists, drums, keys, no guitar, and four singers.

Today, London-based saxophonist, singer, songwriter, activist, orator, and poet-philosopher Alabaster DePlume shares “Bringing Up The Nakba”, the second single from his upcoming new EP of instrumentals, Dear Children of Our Children, I Knew: Epilogue, out May 5 via International Anthem.

On “Bringing Up The Nakba,” Alabaster leads with a looping saxophone line that swells from patient long tones into fluttering bursts of sound and grainy distortion. Bass and drums lock into a slow, marching rhythm while cymbals break the surface in flashes. As the sax climbs higher, the atmosphere turns unsettling—like something powerful being slowly raised to the surface.

Of the new single, Alabaster says: “I wasn’t given permission to talk about 1948 before I started doing so. Yet I’ve learned about people I’m talking to, about myself, my history and the Nakba itself, by talking about it. You don’t need to be a scholar, to speak the names of dark moments from the past. We won’t learn more about them by not mentioning them. If you wish to have someone's permission to speak about them, you have mine.”

Something powerful coming down the line from Meshella Lee — Bandcamp only, via our dear friends at Luaka Bop. Run it up today.

Here's what Luaka Bop say:

Meshela Lee is an angel at the end of America.

After what could have been a deadly car accident, her life was spared. She met otherworldly figures, she saw the pearly gates — and now she does God’s work with fury.

Dressed only in purple, she sings on the streets, wielding a guiro and belting over g-funk beats ripped from the internet.

Local shopkeepers complain about the noise. She doesn’t care. It’s her ministry.

Today the trio of Whitney Johnson, Lia Kohl, and Macie Stewart share "𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝘆 | 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱," a new single from their upcoming debut album 𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃, out on LP/CD/DD 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟮𝟬𝘁𝗵, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲.

“laundry | blood” begins with a near-waltz percussive tumble created by a tape loop of Kohl’s barrette-prepared cello. Its soft and eerie triplet propels a deep and snarling viola-cello-violin drone forward à la the doomiest moments of the Berlin School canon or the repetitive outsider glory of Tony Conrad & Faust's Outside the Dream Syndicate. It’s a darkly cinematic take on the ambient ideal for the scarcely visible slow-moving night train chug. You can almost see it roll by.

Today, London-based saxophonist, singer, songwriter, activist, orator, and poet-philosopher Alabaster DePlume announces a new EP of instrumentals, Dear Children of Our Children, I Knew: Epilogue, out May 5 via International Anthem.

The collection’s lead single “It's Only Now Once (Elbit Systems Windowpane)” is available on all digital music platforms today.

DePlume recorded Dear Children during the middle of his March 2025 US tour, after weeks of playing shows with bassist Shahzad Ismaily and drummer Tcheser Holmes, performing music from his critically acclaimed album A Blade Because A Blade Is Whole (released March 2025). The trio’s onstage rapport was so immediate and strong that, on an off day in Brooklyn, DePlume chose to capture that connection, recording this collection of instrumental pieces shaped by the experience of performing, sharing, and improvising off the music of A Blade for audiences across the US.

Speaking about Dear Children, DePlume says: “Meeting with you all at the shows I sensed that you felt voiceless, on this ethical issue that also spelled out what we’re seeing today, in the form of ICE. That experience with you is etched into me, like graffiti or a poster on the wall. It’s my job to deliver your voice, and that’s what this record is. And to take action. That urgency compelled me to record then. And now here we are. As we said, this world is awakening to the reality it was already living.”

Today, Berlin-based sonic poet and composer Dumama announces Towards an Expanse, a new album out May 8 on Soundway Records. Towards an Expanse follows the acclaimed 2020 collaborative album Buffering Juju with German-Algerian musician and artist Kechou, praised by MOJO as “brimming with sonic invention,” by The Guardian as “wonderfully inventive".

A dialogue with nature and the divine feminine, “What Did The Rain Say” captures the restrained beauty of Dumama’s sound - an electronic drive, full of verve and forward momentum, held in tension by swells of synth and a minimal, looping saxophone by Darius Jones. A feather-light texture in the composition, Dumama’s voice weaves in and out of focus, as her intimate wordplay and tone poetry flitting across the scene like swallows in the dusk.

Speaking about the single, Dumama says: “What Did The Rain Say" grew out of sitting with the language of water and the tension between drought and overwhelming storms. I invited friends to share their own rain stories, which turned the song into a collective reflection on what water might be communicating to us. The track began in an improvisational session shaped by spiritual jazz, gospel, and Black ecstatic traditions, and later evolved through looping and collaboration with family voices. “For me, the song became less about asking for rain and more about learning how to listen — to grief, ancestry, and the elemental forces that hold memory and transformation.”
