We might have to wait until 2025 for a new record from Sharon Van Etten, but at least she was kind enough to grace us with the first single from her upcoming self-titled album. This is the first time she's released music as Sharon Van Etten And The Attachment Theory. (The Attachment Theory is her longtime backing band, but this is the first full collaboration project they've done together.) "Afterlife" is a low-key spooky romance groove, as Van Etten sings about meeting up with a lover after they're both dead. You can hear the influence of The Attachment Theory, too, in the opening synths that blend beautifully with the drums and bass as the song builds to its climax.

Leave it to LCD Soundsystem to premiere a new song exclusively on the radio in the year of our lord 2024. The craziest thing about releasing "X-Ray Eyes" on Anu's "Soup To Nuts" NTS radio show is that it's been two whole days since the broadcast and LCD Soundsystem still hasn't posted it anywhere -- not on Spotify, or YouTube, or Bandcamp, or anywhere. Their last Instagram post is from three weeks ago and it's about a tennis fundraiser. What gives, James Murphy?
