Jangle, crunch, and catharsis: Avery Friedman's You Move glistens as a triumphant return single from the Brooklyn indie artist ahead of her first UK/EU tour, while Rural France's SLOTHS arrives as their jangliest, most baroque album yet — baroque organs, horns, and mellotron over a "Pavement playing Teenage Fanclub" foundation. Barrelly Ego's Bearly Eagle offers a cathartic socio-geo-political anthology, while John Titor's Time Machine's It's Time to Bounce, Amigo! is a punchy, proggy, industrial-tinged punk odyssey channeling Pixies and Shellac. Padded Waltz's Hand Me Down gives shame and insecurity their own voice, asking how those feelings shape who we become.

“Brooklyn-based Indie artist Avery Friedman issues glistening return single ahead of first UK/EU tour”
“Perfect fall music, the kind of song you’d listen to late at night on a long drive home.”
“Power Burkas in their primal, primitive state. Raw, direct, and brimming with a vitality driven by the urge to speak out.”
“'A Madman's Dream/Mind Descending' fuses punk’s feral bite with post‑punk’s cold precision, lurching between fever‑dream urgency and razor‑edged clarity”
“Running in at 50 minutes 'It's Time to Bounce, Amigo!' is a short and sweet punk rock odyssey that is influenced by the likes of the Pixies, The Flaming Lips and Guided by Voices!”
“A song that gives shame, embarrassment, and insecurity a voice, and asks how those feelings shape who we become.”
“The allegorical donkey in the lion's skin, but it's a bear that wants to be an eagle that wants to be a bear... who cried wolf.”
“RF release their jangliest, most baroque and thoughtful album yet, but maintain 'Pavement playing Teenage Fanclub” mission statement”
