The 1975 confirm that Album #3 = 'Music For Cars'.

After dropping many hints online over the past few months, The 1975’s Matty Healy today confirmed in an interview with Zane Lowe that, "The next record’s called 'Music For Cars'. That’s the title and it references our 2nd EP or our 3rd EP."

Healy hints that, "We’re in an interesting time now, for The 1975. The cat will be out of the bag soon."

And that, "We were always gonna do a trilogy of records. I’m not saying that after this album it’s the end of the 1975, but it’s the end of an era."

Haim celebrate their return with a deli dinner-party.

After personally inviting fans in Los Angeles earlier today to a special party held tonight at Canter's Deli (the site of their first show almost 18 years ago), the Haim sisters celebrated with fans and friends alike - including the likes of Jenny Lewis and Brie Larson - gifting party attendees with Haim-cookies and an exclusive t-shirt.

Only hours to go now until potential new Haim musics!!!

Introducing: Gretta Ray.

Australian singer-songwriter Gretta Ray won triple j’s prestigious ‘Unearthed High’ competition in 2016, which led to her single ‘Drive’ reaching #27 in triple j’s Hottest 100.

Influenced by the likes of James Taylor and Joni Mitchell, and with only a debut EP to her name thus far (that was released in early 2016), we’re looking forward to hearing more from this budding songwriter.

Interview: Rex Orange County on his new album 'Apricot Princess'.

There’s no place like home. And for Rex Orange County – Alex O’Connor to his parents – that’s Haslemere, a sleepy 13th Century town in South England, populated by around 17,000 people. He’s moved up to London now, but Haslemere provided an element of inspiration for ‘Apricot Princess’, his new album, out today. It follows ‘bcos u will never b free’, a record he self-released last year that introduced audiences to his unique sound, blending jazz, rap, pop, and the best of mid-00s indie.
