It was bittersweet when Ought announced their break-up late last year after nine years of being a band. However, the ending also marked a new beginning in the form of a trio named Cola, who released the promising “Blank Curtain.” Now they’re back with the announcement of their debut album Deep In View as well as a US and UK tour. They’ve also released a new single, “So Excited,” the title of which is a bit ironic, considering the vocals are a detached deadpan in the vein of Interpol and the mathy instrumentals are repetitive and aloof.
“We would talk about this track as the ‘capstone’ of the Cola record,” vocalist and guitarist Tim Darcy said about the song. “It was that song that we would warm up with and get tight on since it was one of the first to really come together, plus it’s fun to play. There are Cola songs of mine that predate this one but this was the one I was working on when Ben told me he was going to come back from grad school and we talked about jamming together. It clicked when we played it out with Evan and from there we decided to work on songs for a new project.”

Deep In View is out 5/20 via Fire Talk Records. Pre-order it here.
A lot has happened since June 2020, when BBC America’s Killing Eve‘s third season finale aired. And with humanity at various stages of losing it over the past few years, the back-and-forth attraction (sometimes violent, always chaotic) between an assassin and a former MI6 agent seems downright civilized. The fourth season is upon us within days, so let’s refresh what happened last time around when the cat-and-mouse game took some detours.
In the season finale, Villanelle followed up her origin story by killing her would-be successor, Rhian. Villanelle then realized that her time with The Twelve had come to an end, and she no longer wished to be an assassin, even while propositioning Carolyn to hire her at the MI6. That proposition did not end well for Villanelle, all while her biggest tie to the past, Dasha, finally passed away after Villanelle’s attack. The former toast of the KGB perished while Konstantin left the hospital (mostly) in one piece.
In the meantime, Villanelle also spooked the Bitter Pill staff, all while they worked to uncover what Kenny was digging (too far) into before his untimely death. There was a discussion (led by Bear) about what Villanelle does after killing men, and perhaps that she “pickles” their penises. Then Konstantin felt the pain of his surrogate daughter (also Villanelle) deciding that he’s “not family,” and following all of this drama, a living room showdown took place.
In this showdown, Carolyn showed herself to be more violent than suspected by killing Paul (her MI6 boss who’d gone dirty). This put an interesting twist on her dynamic with Konstantin, given that the two are ex-lovers, and Carolyn pretended like she was going to kill him before taking Paul out instead. And then there’s the twist that Konstantin allowed Kenny to die, or at least, he couldn’t stop him from (as Konstantin claimed) falling off the edge of a building. Then Carolyn explained away Paul’s death as a suicide, and before continuing to pursue vengeance for Kenny, I hope she enjoys a nice bath.
And I do hope the same for Niko as well, after he told Eve to get lost, and who could blame him? The guy got pitchforked and nearly died, and it seems that he can no longer speak. Hopefully, he recovers that ability, but at least we know that he regained dignity.
BBC America
With this, Niko fully freed himself from his estranged wife and declared that their marriage is over. I hope he’s on a nice beach somewhere, since his attempt to find relief in farming life took a violent turn. It’s remarkable that he made it out of the Eve-Villanelle cycle alive, and hopefully, no member of The Twelve will ever be able to find him again. Godspeed, Niko. As much as I will miss him, he needs to get the hell out of this show for his own good.
The biggest development, however, arrived in the final moments of the finale:
BBC America
This was the scene where, once again, Eve and Villanelle went their separate ways. Or did they? Villanelle determined to take control of the situation while in London, and the scene only proved that (at least emotionally) they can’t let their connection go. They’ve bot got inner monsters, they danced together, and then they realized that they’re not going to see eye-to-eye on daily life. Can you imagine? Villanelle’s totally the type that would refuse to close cabinet doors, and Eve needs some order in her life.
They walked away from each other and turned back, proving that they can’t quite quit each other, meaning that there shall be followup in the Season 4 premiere. But we don’t know how much time will have passed, or if things have happened that we don’t see onscreen when the action picks up. The newest trailer showed that Villanelle declared her intent to stop killing and become a good person, but whether that’s even possible (she is an overgrown and deadly toddler) is anyone’s guess. More Konstantin, please!
Killing Eve‘s fourth and final season debuts (with two episodes) on Sunday, February 27 on BBC America and Monday, February 28 on AMC.

A transcendental live band, Iceland’s Sigur Rós haven’t toured in nearly five years. In 2020, the band released the mystical Odin’s Raven Magic album of two decade-old recordings that might’ve never seen the light of day had it not been for the world’s pandemic-addled lull. Jonsí, the band’s long-time driving force, has kept busy with solo work, a collaboration with Troye Sivan, and even his own creatively-charged CBD line.
Now the band is reunited with keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson and heading out on tour again. The festival begins in Mexico at the Festival Vaivén, before moving north into the US and Canada. Check out the first wave of tour dates below and get tickets beginning at 10 a.m. local time on 2/25 here.

Just when you think Donald Trump couldn’t fail any more spectacularly at something, the former president goes ahead and tops himself yet again—and Seth Meyers couldn’t be happier. After a two-week break to make room for the Winter Olympics, the Late Night host returned to his desk on Monday night. And while he admitted that missing out on Rudy Giuliani’s big The Masked Singer reveal was heartbreaking, he was glad to have at least one trainwreck to report on: Trump’s latest TRUTH troubles.
Ever since Trump announced the launch of his long-threatened social media network in the fall of 2021, it has been plagued by ongoing tech glitches and other problems. On Sunday night, just ahead of Presidents Day, TRUTH (yep, the name is still funny) arrived in the Apple store, but with loads of problems: It was only available in America, for iOS (meaning: no website version), and it could only handle a very limited number of users. But even with all those restrictions in place, the launch still crashed.
Meyers claimed that he attempted to post some jokes to TRUTH during its grand debut, “but like lots of people, I couldn’t even log in because when it launched, ‘select users who tried to create accounts were repeatedly met with a red error warning: Something went wrong. Please try again.’ Though by the time you find yourself signing up for Donald Trump’s social media site, something already went wrong.”
Meyers has no doubt that the people who were shut out of #45’s big social networking debut undoubtedly will try again. “If you were first in line to sign up for TRUTH Social, you’ve probably got some free time on your hands,” Meyers surmised, guessing that there is probably a bit of overlap between the individuals who were hot to be the first to take Trump’s site for a test drive and the conspiracy theorists who are “waiting for JFK Jr. to reappear at the Meadowlands with Elvis and the Loch Ness Monster to prove the election was stolen.”
Meyers found everything about the whole tech implosion pretty entertaining, though he particularly enjoyed “how vague the error message is: ‘Something went wrong.’ Like, even they don’t know what the problem is? Usually, you get an error code or something, but Trump’s site just gives you a shrug emoji that says, ‘What were you expecting? This thing is a clusterf*ck.’”

Tame Impala — “The Boat I Row”
Almost exactly two years after Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker dropped his highly anticipated album The Slow Rush, the musician is back to expand his psychedelic catalog with a collection of b-sides and remixes. The project features the brand new song “The Boat I Row,” a resonating tune that shows off Parker’s softer side of songwriting. Combining hazy melodies and washed-out instrumentals, “The Boat I Row” goes back to his psych rock roots.
Beach House — Once Twice Melody
For their eighth studio album, Once Twice Melody, Beach House decided to do things a little differently. The double album was released in a series of EPs over several weeks and marked their first new music since 2018. The album as a whole doesn’t depart from the duo’s dreamy discography, layering swirling synths with droning keys to create otherworldly soundscapes. The warmness of the 18 tracks are enhanced by the fact Beach House self-produced this project in their home studio.
Khruangbin, Leon Bridges — Texas Moon
Recent Uproxx cover stars Khruangbin and Leon Bridges dropped their sophomore collaborative EP Texas Moon this week. Contrasting their previous effort Texas Sun in nearly every way, the five-track project boasts loungey beats, funky guitar riffs, sensual vocals, and a perfect blend of each musicians’ signature sound.
Fontaines DC — “I Love You”
Buzz-worthy UK post punk group Fontaines DC are gearing up for the release of their third studio LP Skinty Fia. Just days after Valentine’s Day, the band returned to show off their vulnerable side with the new track “I Love You.” But don’t be fooled by the song’s title — it’s in no way a love song. Rather, the band fires off reflections about self loathing, guilt, and disappointment over drowned out guitars.
Nilüfer Yanya — “Anotherlife”
Nilüfer Yanya‘s sophomore album Painless is just a few weeks away from its release and the musician offers another preview of the project with the soulful tune “Anotherlife.” Showcasing Yanya’s profound vocals, the UK artist sings of a complicated relationship over a catchy guitar riff.
Kurt Vile — “Like Exploding Stones”
2022 may very well be the year of double albums as shown by Big Thief, Beach House, and now Kurt Vile. Announcing the self-produced project Watch My Moves, Vile dropped “Like Exploding Stones,” a seven-minute ballad that combines sleepy melodies and wistful instrumentals showing a different side to the former The War On Drugs guitarist.
Dream Widow — “March Of The Insane”
The Foo Fighters crew are working on what looks to be a hilarious comedy slasher flick Studio 666, due out in theaters at the end of this month. The band have gone all-out for the film, recently dropping a bloody trailer and even creating the new band Dream Widow for the occasion. Dream Widow’s track “March Of The Insane” gives Foo Fighters fans a taste of the alternate persona, which is their version of death metal music.
Future Islands — “King Of Sweden”
After indie favorites Future Islands dropped their 2020 LP As Long As You Are, it didn’t take them long to start working on anther album. Kicking off a new era of music with the kinetic single “King Of Sweden,” the band prove their knack for penning upbeat and wildly catchy tunes. The song features a driving beat and bright synths, giving a taste of the indie pop-leaning music Future Islands has in store.
After announcing her anticipated sophomore LP I Don’t Know Who Needs To Hear This…, Tomberlin returns with her intimate songwriting on the new track “Happy Accident.” The song features vibrant guitars and Tomberlin’s signature poetic lyricism, previewing what’s expected to be great follow up to her 2018 debut album.
Dehd — “Bad Love”
After creating buzz around their 2020 album Flower Of Devotion, Chicago trio Dehd are back with “Bad Love” to announce their fourth album, Blue Skies. Much like their previous releases, “Bad Love” showcases Dehd’s ability to absolutely shred on guitar. The band may have just three members, but their room-filling beats and ballad-like lyrics are enough to make anyone get up and move.
Hatchie — “Giving The World Away”
With her latest single, which is the title track to her upcoming sophomore album, Hatchie goes full indie-pop. The thumping single offers a euphoric and dance-ready preview of the LP, which follows her 2019 debut full-length Keepsake. “‘Giving The World Away’ is about being gentle with yourself in the throes of depression,” Hatchie said about the track.
Quinton Brock — “There For You”
Brooklyn based artist Quinton Brock is back to bring his rock n’ roll edge to indie music. His latest tune “There For You” is a brief but enticing effort from the artist, who penned the track after singing the lyrics to his boo over FaceTime. Featuring sunny chords and a snappy beat, “There For You” marks a strong return for the musician after he shared a string of 2021 singles.
The Blssm — “Dizzy”
After making waves with their grunge-inspired sound heard on the kiss-off debut EP 97 Blossom, The Blssm (fka The Blossom) is back and better than ever on the new track “Dizzy.” Teeming with a bright guitar riff and soulful lyrics, the revved-up tune acts as reassurance for their feelings. “I wrote ‘Dizzy’ about the relationship I have with my inner anxiety,” they said in a statement about the song. “The lyrics on a surface level allude to being about a significant other, but really they are inner-conversational and inspired by the weight of ‘dragging around’ emotional baggage that encompasses my life.”
Good Looks — “Vision Boards”
Keeled Scales’ latest four-piece Good Looks made their debut earlier this year with the wistful tune “Almost Automatic” and now further teasing their upcoming album Bummer Year, the band share the fuzzy track “Vision Boards.” The raucous song takes aim the harmful nature of the wellness industry and debunked theory of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.
Bodega — “Statuette On The Console”
Brooklyn-based group Bodega continue teasing their upcoming LP Broken Equipment with the new song “Statuette On The Console,” which is meant to critique our reliance on technology. The propulsive track perfectly melds elements of surf rock and post-punk and was also recorded in several different languages, including Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Ukrainian.

In the latest single from his upcoming seventh album Mahal,Toro y Moi delivers sweet, soft vocals over a funky, groovy bassline. On “The Loop,” Chaz Bear laments over the weekend coming to an end and how “Monday snuck up so fast.”
Referencing a large time difference between the east and west coasts, Toro thanks his friends on the east coast for “the early scoop” on the song’s second verse, before reeling over “online trends that border cringe.”
In the song’s accompanying visual, Toro ride through San Francisco by way of go karts, skateboards, and a Filipino Jeepney. This is a continuation of the video for Mahal‘s lead single “Postman,” which also features the Jeepney.
Mahal marks Toro’s first album on Dead Oceans, after leaving his previous label, Carpark. “Toro y Moi’s music has been omnipresent in our lives for over a decade now,” said Dead Oceans co-founder Phil Waldorf in a statement. “Chaz has so many fans at Dead Oceans, and we’ve daydreamed a lot about what it would be like to get to work together. Chaz has such creative ambitions for Toro y Moi, and we can’t believe we get to wake up every day not just as fans, but as partners in his next chapter.”
Watch “The Loop” above.
Mahal is out 4/29 via Dead Oceans. Pre-order it here.
As The Batman nears its March release date, the filmmakers have done their best to keep the plot of the Robert Pattinson film under wraps considering, this time around, director Matt Reeves wants to showcase why the classic DC Comics character is the World’s Greatest Detective. Clocking in at just shy of three hours, The Batman will be a deep noir dive that pits the Dark Knight against The Riddler, who seemingly knows a great deal about Bruce Wayne and his family’s secrets that may lie at the heart of Gotham City’s corruption.
However, even with the plot of The Batman being closely guarded, that hasn’t stopped fans from picking apart “clues” from the trailers and running wild with theories. Here are just a few of them including a rumored appearance from the Clown Prince of Crime, and a huge potential change to Batman’s mythos, if any of them are true.
Paul Dano’s character isn’t The Riddler.
Following the release of a new The Batman trailer in October, fans couldn’t help but notice that Paul Dano’s face is never shown, which immediately kicked off a flurry of speculation that Dano isn’t the Riddler. Since then, he’s given interviews about playing “Edward Nashton” and the difficulties of the Riddler’s new costume, but fans are convinced that the film contains a shocking reveal about the true identity of the character who pushes Batman to his limits while murdering his way through Gotham.
Barry Keoghan is The Joker.
While the marketing for The Batman has leaned heavily on Catwoman, Penguin, and The Riddler appearing in the film, fans are convinced that one of the Dark Knight’s biggest rival could make an appearance. After combing through an international trailer for the film, a Joker-like smile is spotted in one of the background photos. Coupled with reports that Warner Bros. has reportedly wrestled with another or not to include a certain actor in the trailers, fans are now theorizing that Barry Keoghan is the Joker. Keoghan’s casting in the film is confirmed, but the character he’s playing has been shrouded in mystery. Of course, it could all be a red herring for The Riddler reveal, but fans are buzzing that he could be the Battinson version of the Joker.
WARNER BROS.
Thomas Wayne is connected to the Court of Owls.
As each new trailer and TV spot drops, it becomes more and more likely that The Riddler not only knows Batman’s secret identity, but also, a great deal about the Wayne Family. As shots of the trailers have shown, the Waynes are connected to the series of murder being committed by The Riddler who seems hell-bent on exposing the corruption in Gotham. In the comic books, one source of that corruption is the secretive Court of Owls. A shadowy group of Gotham’s elites who control all facets of the city with their wealth and highly effective assassins. According to Screen Rant, fans noticed that The Riddler leaves Batman a greeting card with an owl on it. This clue has led to speculation that Bruce’s father, Thomas Wayne, is connected to the group and was possibly even one of its members, which would significantly tarnish the Wayne family legacy.
Bruce Wayne is adopted.
And now for the wildest theory via CBR. After the release of “The Bat and the Cat” trailer, fans picked up on clues about Edward Nashton’s backstory that point to him living in an orphanage. There’s also photos of Thomas and Martha Wayne with their eyes scratched out, which suggests Nashton has a deep-ceded grudge against the wealthy couple. One reason for that animosity? They adopted Bruce Wayne instead of him. If true, this would be a dramatic change to Batman’s origin story and set him on a path that has never been explored before as Reeves and Pattinson, hopefully, get to explore the character further in a planned trilogy of films.
Cryptocurrency is still one of the hottest commodities on the modern digital market, despite no one really knowing what it is or how it works. It’s also highly susceptible to theft and scams — as a slew of celebrities including Lil Yachty and Soulja Boy are finding out via a class-action lawsuit against them, according to Complex and ClassAction.org. The two Atlanta rappers, along with YouTubers Jake Paul and Ben Phillips, as well as former Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, are all named as promoters of SafeMoon, a cryptocurrency founded by Braden John Karony, in exchange for tokens.
According to the suit, the SafeMoon currency ultimately amounted to a pump and dump scheme, which is when scammers hype up an effectively worthless commodity to artificially raise its price, then pull out of the commodity before it crashes. The movie Boiler Room explains it pretty well. This is more or less what happened with SafeMoon, which was created in March 2021 and had completely crashed by December, hitting a low of $0.0000006521 per token on New Year’s Eve. “As of the filing of this Complaint,” the lawsuit reads, “the trading volume for the SafeMoon Token has plummeted to around only $60,000.” The height of volume, $191.6 million on April 22. The key to SafeMoon’s “slow rug pull” was “token burns,” removing a certain number of tokens from circulation.
As tokens were “burnt,” more investors bought in, inflating the price of the remaining tokens. As the value began to drop, another “burn” was employed to bump the value again. Eventually, as trading volume fell, chief technology officer Hank Wyatt resigned, selling off his tokens to investors ahead of the failed launch of SafeMoon’s digital wallet. According to the suit, Wyatt would have or should have known that the wallet would not be ready. A day later SafeMoon COO Jack Haines-Davies also resigned, which dropped the price of the tokens from $0.000000153 to $0.00000119.
