Alt-pop duo Balu Brigada release their ആദ്യ ആൽബം Portal, a bold, city-hopping set built across New York, Berlin, and Auckland with singles “So Cold,” “Backseat,” and “What Do We Ever Really Know?”. The Portal Tour launches Oct 3 with a sold-out Mexico City show and headline dates across the U.S. and Canada.

Emma Christine roars back with “Holy Whiskey,” a country-rock sermon for the neon-lit faithful—distorted guitars, fearless vocals, and redemption at the bar. The single drops Sept 5 on Bandcamp, with a wide release Oct 3.

Belgian artist Jelle Denturck (DIRK.) shares the video for “Pinnacles” from his self-titled debut as Dressed Like Boys, out now.

Brisbane trio The Inadequates unveil their ആദ്യ ആൽബം Haven’t You Heard?—12 theatrical folk songs weaving mandolin, accordion, and layered harmonies.

Kojey Radical returns with “Expensive” ft Planet Giza—an ultra-sleek Swindle production that marries danceable groove with lines like “No price on life and time.” The 16-track album Don’t Look Down arrives Sept 19, with the full tracklist revealed on a Shoreditch mural this Friday at 5 PM.
