Next month, England’s Zulu Winter will release their debut album “Language” on June 19th via Arts & Crafts. As a lead up to the release, the record’s first single, Silver Tongue has been reworked by fellow Arts & Crafts act The Darcys who put their own spin on the track by slowing it down and adding echoing layers.

New York’s noise grunge trio GHXST have released a new track titled, Doomgirl. This is the follow-up to the release of the “Evilwickeddesire” LP on vinyl last year via Paris-based Desire Records, which contained their first two EPs (Evil’s Wasted On You and No Rest For The Wicked). They state influences such as the Jesus and Mary Chain, White Zombie, and Sonic Youth, and plan to resurrect 90s rock but with a new kind of stylish noise rock, distortion, bluesy vocals, and heavy drums.

It was a pleasant surprise to open our email inbox and find a message from Marble Lion, a noise pop band out of Montreal. Unfortunately the details are slim other their Bandcamp and Tumblr pages, so I can’t really provide you with further information on the band. Their music is just creepy enough to pique our interest and we decided to offer them up to you as well.
Watch Marble Lion: Foliage

Total Slacker have been Culture Addicts faves since they released Thrashin’ and Secret VHS Collection. The single is pure lo-fi genius in the vein of Sonic Youth and Brain Slime is the standout track with a catchy, twangy guitar riff and sing-a-long friendly strangely harmonic vocal. I will definitely be trying to get my hands on this 7″.
The second is the Friend Crush 7” split with fellow Brooklyners Friends will be out in late June on Sixteen Tambourine Records. We will definitely be posting more about this release when the info comes in.
