Meels Releases New Single “Northern Star” Following Grand Ole Opry Debut

Published

on

Singer-songwriter Meels has released “Northern Star,” her latest single via Lost Highway Records. The track blends folk, Americana and country, drawing on what she calls her “Critter Country” sound to explore distance, longing and the connections that remain even when people are far apart.

Written by Meels and produced by Justin Francis and Peter Groenwald of Hush Kids, “Northern Star” reflects on the tension between pursuing a musical career and maintaining ties to the people and places that keep you grounded.

“I wrote ‘Northern Star’ about the contradiction of chasing a dream while the dream chases you back,” Meels explains. “It’s about the harsh realities of the road, the people and little creatures that keep you grounded from afar, and the magical connection that music provides.”

The release follows Meels’ Grand Ole Opry debut on October 28. She performed “Northern Star” alongside the unreleased song “Over Miles” during the appearance. The singer recently spent the fall touring with Old Crow Medicine Show and will close out the year with a series of December dates supporting Kaitlin Butts.

Raised among the redwoods of Mill Valley, California, Meels released her debut EP, Tales from a Bird’s Bedroom, in 2024. She followed it in January 2026 with Across The Raccoon Strait, which drew praise from People and Nashville Scene. The latter described the songs as marking the arrival of a distinctive lyricist. Earlier this year, she also released “Lonely USA,” a track that received playlist support and positive attention from County Central and Melodic Magazine.

Silent Planet Sign With Pure Noise Records, Announce New Album ‘Infinite Sleep’ And Share ‘fangs!!’ Featuring Thornhill’s Jacob Charlton

Published

on

Silent Planet are entering a new chapter. The atmospheric progressive metalcore quartet from Azusa, California, have officially signed with Pure Noise Records and announced their upcoming album, Infinite Sleep, arriving January 29, 2027. Alongside the news, the band has unleashed the first single, “fangs!!,” featuring Jacob Charlton of Thornhill.

The album marks Silent Planet’s first full-length release of original music since 2023’s critically acclaimed SUPERBLOOM. The new record will feature 14 tracks, with “fangs!!” offering the first glimpse into the band’s latest creative direction.

Fans can pre-order Infinite Sleep here, stream “fangs!!” featuring Jacob Charlton, and watch the official music video.

Garrett Russell Explains The Meaning Behind ‘fangs!!’

«We hold the tools to extinction like holy books against our chests, believing our salvation lays inside the threat of global annihilation. A society of “perverts who are secretly horny for the apocalypse” we built temples to our inevitable undoing – and we all sleep soundly inside this dread machine. But if you could see your city from a bird’s eye view… you’d see the bite marks stippling streets and poisoning what’s left of waterways. You see the remnants, but you can only feel the “fangs!!”

I’ve had this recurring dream for quite some time where I arrive at a skyscraper rooftop where I lock eyes with a woman I’ve never met in real life. She is about to jump. And this is where the dream splits – sometimes I narrowly miss her hand and watch her fall placid to the ground, resigned to her fate. But sometimes I catch her hand, and we fall together, she always turns to me and whispers something personal, then we hit the ground and I wake up.

Early this year, as we were writing this album, the war broke out and the dream had this new element: A nuclear bomb falling on the city. It’s as though the bomb distracted her from her misery, and we would watch it together. Then, knowing that our doom was inevitable, we would jump. But this falling felt more akin to flying, as though our final moments were a choice of freedom in this strange world that hoards the keys to its own annihilation.«

The upcoming album will feature 14 songs, including the Jacob Charlton collaboration and the newly released title track.

Tracklist:

  1. Basilisk
  2. A Swarm Of Starlings
  3. Wick
  4. Stalking the Wild Pendulum
  5. fangs!! (feat. Jacob Charlton)
  6. Sundressed
  7. Snakepit
  8. Panic Tomb
  9. Deus ex hominibus
  10. Mindframe
  11. Mourning Dove, Why Don’t You Sing?
  12. Magnolia
  13. Lucid Wings of
  14. Infinite Sleep

With a new label home, a guest appearance from one of modern metalcore’s recognizable voices, and a concept that confronts humanity’s darkest impulses, Infinite Sleep is shaping up to be an intriguing next step for Silent Planet. The album arrives January 29, 2027, via Pure Noise Records.

Peaches Teams Up With Fever Ray And finnjävel For Dark, Club-Ready ‘Panna Cotta Delight’ Remix

Published

on

Peaches is giving one of the standout tracks from her latest album a fresh, dance-floor-ready makeover. The iconic musician, producer, director, and performance artist has released “Panna Cotta Delight (Fever Ray & finnjävel Remix),” bringing together her signature punk attitude with the distorted electronic darkness of Fever Ray and finnjävel.

The new version transforms the original into an energetic collision of angry, squealing synths and Jersey club kicks. The track also retains the provocative spirit that made the original stand out, with CBC praising its use of “playful, unexpected rhymes to shatter taboos around aging and desire.”

Fever Ray expressed excitement about the collaboration, saying, “Honoured and happy we were asked to do this, Peaches has been the soundtrack to many fun nights and happenings.”

For finnjävel, the remix carries an especially personal meaning. “The Teaches of Peaches was the soundtrack to my queer awakening as a teenager, so I’m beyond excited and honoured to share this remix we made for Peaches, a true queer icon,” they said. “I’m especially happy to have made this together with my dear collaborator and musical sibling Fever Ray!”

Peaches Announces Limited-Edition Remix Vinyl

The new remix also arrives ahead of a special vinyl release. On November 20, Peaches will release two limited-edition 12-inch White Label Vinyl editions featuring remixes of songs from No Lube So Rude, her first album in more than a decade, released in February 2026.

The first edition pairs “You’re Alright (Pixel Grip Remix feat. Joe Talbot of IDLES),” which received A-list rotation on BBC Radio 6 Music, with the club-ready “Not In Your Mouth None Of Your Business (Boys Noize Remix).”

The second pairs the newly released “Panna Cotta Delight (Fever Ray & finnjävel Remix)” with the euphoric and explicit “Fuck Your Face (Only Fire Remix).”

Fans can pre-order the limited-edition vinyl here.

Peaches Celebrated At The 2026 Pink Awards

Beyond the new music, Peaches recently received another meaningful recognition for her influence and impact. Last week, she was honored as one of Pink Triangle Press’ 2026 Champions at the Pink Awards, alongside Bowen Yang, Gigi Gorgeous, Emily Hampshire, and Harrison Browne.

Elliot Page presented the award, sharing a heartfelt tribute about how seeing Peaches as a teenager had been a deeply pivotal experience in his life. He credited that moment as so important that he wondered who he might be today without it.

Peaches used the occasion to spotlight The Will Munro Fund at The 519, which provides emergency financial assistance to 2SLGBTQIA+ people living with cancer in Ontario. The fund helps ease financial hardship and improve recipients’ quality of life. Peaches also closed out the awards ceremony with an electrifying performance.

Peaches Takes ‘No Lube So Rude’ Around The World

Peaches is also preparing to bring her boundary-pushing live show to audiences across the globe. Her Latin American tour kicks off November 12 and wraps up later this month at Corona Capital. She will subsequently take her theatrical performances to Australia and New Zealand before returning to Europe in 2027.

Her live shows have earned plenty of critical praise, with Phoenix New Times describing them as “theatrical, boundary-pushing” and The Guardian calling them “a masterclass in gleeful subversion.” The Times has also praised the performances as “beautifully surreal.”

Released in February 2026, No Lube So Rude finds Peaches exploring the intersection of personal identity and politics, treating the body as both a sexual and spiritual vessel and a frontline in the fight for basic human rights. Its explicit lyrics, biting sarcasm, and clever wordplay are balanced by moments of vulnerability, as the post-menopausal queer icon confronts a society that often expects women to become silent, if not invisible, as they age.

The album was shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize, marking Peaches’ first nomination since The Teaches of Peaches received the Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize.

A Growing Collection Of ‘No Lube So Rude’ Remixes

Since the album’s release, its songs have inspired a growing collection of remixes that push the material into different corners of underground dance music.

Alongside the new Fever Ray and finnjävel collaboration, Pixel Grip and Joe Talbot, Boys Noize, and Only Fire have all contributed their own interpretations. Other recent releases include the rave-infused “Whatcha Gonna Do About It (I. JORDAN Remix),” the pulsing “No Lube So Rude (Cora Novoa Remix),” the techno-house reworking “Hanging Titties (River Moon Remix),” and the operatic “Take It (SIERRA VEINS Remix).”

Peaches has also recently teamed up with Saber Interactive for the first-ever official rework of her electroclash classic “Fuck The Pain Away,” created for Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival. The original track has long held an iconic place in electronic music, with Pitchfork famously calling it an “immortal banger” and the “#1 Greatest Electroclash Song of All Time.”

With more remixes, special vinyl editions, and international tour dates on the horizon, Peaches continues to prove that her provocative, uncompromising approach to music and performance remains as vital as ever.

Silversun Pickups Announce 2027 ‘Tenterhooks’ Tour With 28 Dates Across North America

Published

on

Silversun Pickups are hitting the road again. The multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated Los Angeles quartet has announced its 2027 Tenterhooks Tour, a 28-date run that will take the band across North America, with stops in Nashville, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and plenty of other cities.

Fresh off opening for Weezer, the band will also make an appearance at Salt Lake City’s Kilby Block Party. The tour supports their recently released seventh studio album, Tenterhooks, which finds the group reuniting with longtime producer Butch Vig for a collection that sounds both urgent and unapologetically raw.

Artist presales begin Wednesday, November 11, at 10 a.m. local time, with general ticket sales starting Friday, November 13, at 10 a.m. local time. Tickets and additional information are available here.

Silversun Pickups Reunite With Butch Vig For ‘Tenterhooks’

Released through the band’s own New Machine Recordings, Tenterhooks features ten tracks recorded by the current lineup: Brian Aubert (vocals, guitar), Nikki Monninger (bass, vocals), Christopher Guanlao (drums), and Joe Lester (keys). After two previous albums together, the band and producer Butch Vig (Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage) have developed an easy creative rhythm, and that chemistry is all over the new record.

«We wanted to make a tight record that could fit on one vinyl with five songs on each side,» Aubert explains. «To me, it’s an impatient, apprehensive, and more aggressive album. We started recording when the world was changing again. You invariably wonder, ‘What are we headed towards?’ Even if you’re not necessarily writing about it, it bleeds into how you’re feeling and approaching life. We stripped things down and went louder and rawer.»

The album began taking shape after the band wrapped up touring in 2024 and enjoyed a rare break. During that time, Aubert collected voice memos, guitar riffs, and other musical ideas, eventually bringing them into the studio with his bandmates and Vig. Their approach was refreshingly direct: the musicians would grab their instruments and play together while Vig listened and recorded, allowing the songs to develop organically.

The sessions weren’t entirely smooth, however. Vig’s commitments touring with Garbage temporarily pulled him away from the studio, while Aubert faced a frightening medical ordeal of his own. The singer lost hearing in one ear and spent seven days in the hospital, where he also required a blood transfusion.

«I had a hole in my ear drum,» Aubert recalls. «They couldn’t figure out why I was losing blood, so they gave me the transfusion. We found out there was a rupture in my stomach lining due to the ibuprofen I was taking for the pain. That’s why I had been losing blood. One day, I was finally hearing again.»

Eventually, the band reunited with Vig to finish the album. Even the title reflects the uncertain atmosphere surrounding its creation. The phrase «on tenterhooks» describes a state of anxious anticipation, something Aubert felt was particularly fitting for the times.

«There was something in the air,» he says. «It seemed as if everyone was on Tenterhooks waiting for whatever was next. The music has the same feeling.»

The album is available on CD, LP, and digital formats here.
