Out on the wily, windy moors we roll with Charli XCX. Her companion album for director Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights movie is a complete departure from the hyper-drive dance-pop of her 2024 insta-classic Brat and its remix LP, Brat and It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat.

How does a no budget found footage film have global impact? This is the story of Human Hibachi and its rise to gory to become the most unlikely modern day cult classic.

Boring Asian Female by Canwen Xu (Berkley, April 28) Canwen Xu’s psychological thriller Boring Asian Female will make for a propulsive, unforgettable audiobook listen. Elizabeth Zhang is unremarkable in almost every way. She’s not particularly likable, and she’s extremely plain-looking. But at least she’s smart. Smart enough, she thinks, to get into Harvard Law School.

Whitney have always sounded like a band you put on when the light is just wrong and you’re trying to make sense of something you can’t quite say. Their music lives in the pause between sentences: guitars that breathe, horns that console, falsetto that finishes a thought you didn’t realize you were having. Small Talk,
Heavy doesn’t always mean hard work stops mattering. Long stretches of busy might once have seemed worthwhile. Yet inside the chaos, something else begins to show its face. Comfort matters most here. Beauty finds its way without effort. Room to be, that’s what grows naturally. That often brings the thought of moving to the forefront.
“Swimming”, a 2022 single by the Dublin-based garage-rock/post-punk band SPRINTS, fuses a working-class fury at capitalism’s grind with a fierce joy in fighting back. Karla Chubb’s distinctive, full voice lays out the issue: “I’ve been working full-time since I was 17 / And I still got four coins in my pocket.” Surprisingly, her response to
A Djinn and a Hunter Went Walking Neba Solo and Benego Diakité Etoile Audio / Nonesuch 13 February 2026 There’s a sincerely grounded quality to A Djinn and a Hunter Went Walking. The new album from balafonist Neba Solo and donsongoni (hunter’s harp) player Benego Diakité–their first as a duo–shines a light on two Malian
Keep Moving Forward is certainly a fitting title for guitarist and composer Jan Esbra’s new EP. It’s a translation of a phrase Esbra’s father used throughout his childhood. In this context, it becomes “both mantra and mandate across the songs on the album,” according to the press notes, “reminding you to continue onward even when
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie Matt Johnson Neon February 2026 Your patience for Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie will depend on your appetite for the comedy of Matt Johnson, who in his films usually plays an overcaffeinated buffoon whose ideas run the gamut from nonsensical to borderline dangerous. It’s a bit
Silent films, as we’ve often observed here at PopMatters, are bigger than ever. We live in an age that celebrates their restorations in film festivals, on home video, through streaming services, and even works on the printed page. While the majority of viewers probably remain apprehensive at the thought of sitting through something old and
Managing expectations was never a problem for PUP. From the very beginning, their dream was to make enough money to keep touring. Now that Sum 41 have unofficially passed them, Canada’s ceremonial pop-punk torch, I’d say their dream is still very much alive and kicking. However, back in 2015, right before PUP blew up, the

Let’s face it, there is no dearth of disturbing “love songs” out there. From stalker odes to rapey hits to even murder ballads, they’re strangely all over the place. Most of these, however, are intentionally scary. The Beatles’ “Run for Your Life” is one of John Lennon’s many introspections into his own jealousy (luckily, this

As the indie horror landscape shifts toward digital-first premieres, Eddy Fright and the team at Fright Teck Pictures are pulling back the curtain on their latest production, proving that a terrifying creature feature doesn’t require a Hollywood bankroll—just grit, practical ingenuity, and a smartphone app. Born from a 2016 meeting between Fright and producer Jeff
