Following last year’s album Imaginal Disk, there has understandably been no new Magdalena Bay album this year. There may as well be, though. In September, they shared two new songs, “Second Sleep” and “Star Eyes.” Then, earlier this month, they followed with two more songs, “Human Happens” and “Paint Me A Picture.” Today (October 31), they have yet another pair of new songs out now, “Unoriginal” and “Black-Eyed Susan Climb.”
The band says in a statement, “Two more songs?! When will it end?? Is this the final pair? Don’t think too hard about it. Just let the good times ride.”
Meanwhile, the duo has a couple more US shows this year, including a New Year’s Eve gig in Denver. Then, they’ll head to the UK and Europe next February and March, followed by US festival appearances at M3F and Treefort in March.

Steven and Ian open with a conversation about a memorable Halloween from 10 years ago. Then they do a Sportscast on the World Series, and Steven’s belief that he’s spiritually Canadian. From there, they pivot to the gossipy reception to Lily Allen’s new album, and her legacy as a blog-friendly indie-pop phenom from the 2000s.
They also talk about a list of notable Halloween songs that aren’t actually about Halloween and the prospect for musician biopics after the relative box-office failure of the Bruce Springsteen movie. After a quick check-in on the Fantasy Album Draft, they do a “yay or nay” on whether Feels is Animal Collective’s best album.
In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about Berlin ambient artist Ben Bondy and Steven goes with Chicago indie legend Sam Prekop.

Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Gale has launched a new era following her 2023 album Lo Que No Te Dije. Today (October 30), her latest LP, Lo Que Puede Pasar, is out, along with a video for “Perspectiva.”
The video is built on a few extended shots, of Gale making her way through a home as she sings the song to the camera. It’s a fun clip, particularly at the end when she lays down in a kiddie pool and enjoys a slice of watermelon.
Gale recently told Noticia about the album, saying (translated from Spanish):
“It’s a very honest album about daring to live every experience with your heart — without overthinking what might happen. Musically, I’m creating the pop of my dreams: a blend of synth-pop, rock, and intense ballads. It explores the consequences of love in all its forms — the beautiful, the chaotic, and the inevitable. It also features collaborations I’m really excited about because they expand that universe even more. I can’t wait to share it with the world.
Watch the “Perspectiva” video above and find the Lo Que Puede Pasar cover art and tracklist below.

Chimpanzees: pretty scary! In fairness, some of them can be really friendly, even like a member of the family. But, there’s always a lingering element of uncertainty, especially when they get infected with a disease that gives them more of a killer edge, as is the case in the upcoming movie Primate.
Veteran horror director Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, The Strangers: Prey At Night, and so on) is at the helm here. He had a real vision, and that vision involved putting CGI to the side in favor of practical effects to bring the chimp to life, making the character feel much more like a physical presence in the scary scenes.
Ahead of the movie’s release, keep reading for everything you need to know before it hits theaters.
Plot
The logline reads, “A group of friends’ tropical vacation turns into a terrifying, primal tale of horror and survival.”
Roberts told Bloody Disgusting, “It was a huge concern at the beginning and was a real issue in green-lighting the movie. Because it was like, are the audience going to turn against us? Are they going to feel sorry for Ben [the chimp]? We got the green light and we went ahead and did it.”
Cast
The movie stars Johnny Sequoyah, Jessica Alexander, Troy Kotsur, Victoria Wyant, Gia Hunter, Benjamin Cheng, Charlie Mann, Tienne Simon, Miguel Torres Umba, Kae Alexander, Amina Abdi, and Albert Magashi.
Sequoyah told Collider of having the lead role in the film:
“Oh my god, I feel like it’s a dream. I don’t know if, as an actor, you ever believe that you ever do that kind of stuff, so it felt like a dream come true. I was just so grateful, honestly, because the cast was so incredible. Our team was so incredible that every day it just felt fun. It didn’t feel like there was that kind of pressure of, like, ‘Oh, you’re No. 1 [on the call sheet].’ It just felt fun. So, honestly, I just feel like every day was just getting to play, and I had so much fun.”
Release Date
The film is set to hit theaters on January 9, 2026.
As the NBA’s 80th(!) season got underway last week, one of the league’s brightest stars took the next step in expanding his footprint beyond the game. Like Kawhi Leonard before him, Anthony Edwards teamed up with Culture Jam to release Legend In My Hood, the second in the media imprint’s ongoing series pairing athletes with recording artists to executive-produce anthemic albums telling their personal stories.
This version was announced with a thrilling, Don Cannon-produced collaboration between Pusha T and Wale, “Damage Control,” and was accompanied on release by the Big Sean and Hit-Boy reunion “Moving Different.” Other artists featured on the album include Ant’s fellow ATLiens Baby Drill, Hunxho, and Quavo, along with a who’s-who of rising stars including Hurricane Wisdom, Nardo Wick, Rob49, and more.
Basketball and rap go together like peanut butter and jam; It’s a cliché, but we have those for a reason. As both art forms — and yes, both basketball and rap are art forms — began to peak in popularity at the same time, and share humble origins, it was only natural that some of the best players would have some musical aptitude, and vice versa.
While Edwards doesn’t rap on the album, he did have a guiding hand in its production and direction, with some assistance from Culture Jam founder Eesean Bolden. Ant-Man is credited as co-executive producer, and told Uproxx his goal for the album was to open his world to fans, beyond the sound bites and highlight plays that have made him such a charismatic — and sometimes controversial — star.
“This album is everything we’re about,” he said. “Family, hard work, and believing in yourself when nobody else does. Putting this together with my brother and some of the best in the game, that’s love right there.” His brother Bubba, who does rap under the handle B Different, and appears on the album in both capacities (as brother and as rapper), echoed this sentiment in a longer interview via Zoom.
“I would say I just want people to understand that he’s just a vibe,” B Different said of his own goal for Legend In My Hood. “To put a project like this together is like you’re telling people a different type of story, so they understand he’s not a one-trick monkey. He’s very talented in many different ways. He has a broad mind. He doesn’t have just one taste he wanna hear.”
Getting the contributors, though, is Bolden’s job. “We had a list of artists that we wanted to make the project,” he explains. “Some did, some didn’t, just due to logistics and stuff like that. It’s really cool because some artists that are on the track, there’s some stories kind of tied to it with Ant. Like, Wale being kind of the first to really support Ant and wear his shoes way early on.”
A veteran of the recording industry, Bolden used his connections and experience from his time as an A&R executive at labels like Capitol, Epic, and Warner to launch Culture Jam in an effort to create a more organic connection between athletes and music. “It goes back to me being a kid and my upbringing,” he recalled. “My parents, they were independent R&B artists, and I played sports. I played basketball.”
“Basketball, in particular, kept me on the straight and narrow, kept me out of trouble,” he continued. “When I got to college, I was already fully like, ‘No, I’m going to be in music.’ You know, I was 6’5″ in high school and I played center. And you know, a 6’5″ center is… I’m toast. I knew I was going the music way. I left college my sophomore year [for an internship at Interscope] and knew exactly what I wanted to do.”
But when it came to partnerships between athletes and brands — especially when it came to music, which should have been the most natural connection in the world — Eesean says they felt “transactional.” “Culture Jam, in a plain sense, we’re everything at the intersection of sports and entertainment,” he reasons. “We do make these albums that we’re excited to get out to you guys and proud of what we did, but then we’re also an agency. So we have a whole agency team that does experiential and broadcast campaigns [such as ESPN’s 2024 WNBA campaign]. We found a way that, if we partner with the right high level athlete, maybe we can tell their story as we merge them with the proper music.”
That’s certainly what Eesean has done with Ant Edwards and Legend In My Hood. In addition to the rappers Ant loves to listen to in workouts and warmups, the set also includes words of wisdom from family, via interludes with B Different (as Bubba) and their uncle Chris, who B describes as “a father figure” for the brothers growing up.
“He’s just he’s just been the extra backbone, the support that we needed when either our mom can’t do it or our grandma can’t do it,” he reminisced. “Chris is everything to us.” Regarding his own interlude, Bubba said, “It was kinda weird, honestly, just talking to nobody on the phone. I was home, by myself. I just had to blank everything out and just put myself in a room with it, and speak from the heart for real.”
Regarding what’s next for Ant, whether on or off court, B Different remains as optimistic and motivational as the music on the album he helped his brother co-produce. “I think he got one of them ceilings that you can’t build, bro. This is just the beginning. He’s young, you know. He has plenty of room for growth, and we’re just gonna keep growing and keep going.”

I love a concept album — any concept, really. But especially an unfussy, simple concept album, released completely by surprise, from one of my all-time favorite rappers recording today. Saba, fresh off the release of his and No ID’s collaboration From The Private Collection Of Saba And No ID (say that five times fast), dropped a new album today titled Coffee!, entirely without warning or preamble.
The album is named after the Chicago rapper’s Bronco WildTrak, which is also where he wrote and recorded the whole thing. What a concept!
Technically, Saba gave a little teaser of the album when he appeared on Genius’ Open Mic earlier this month, performing “Stompin” from Private Collection, then delivering a medley tag of “How Many X” and saying, “The new album is Coffee!” but not giving any details about the album’s release. He also dropped the song “Today Years Old” earlier this week. You can check out the video below.
Clocking in at nine tracks and 19 minutes, Coffee! is an autobiographical, journalistic look at Saba’s current conditions, and on one track, “Don’t Be Long,” Saba even embodies the vehicle, making it a character in the narrative. Check out the tracklist below.
01. “How Many X?” Feat. Ogi
02. “Don’t Be Long”
03. “Looking For Parking”
04. “My Bro” Feat. Senite
05. “Today Years Old”
06. “High Tides” Feat. Maxx Moor
07. “Supplier Interlude”
08. “Itachi”
09. “TICTACTOE” Feat. FELIX!
Coffee! is out now via Saba Pivot LLC. You can find more info here.
Earlier this month, Welsh electronic favorite Kelly Lee Owens announced a new EP, Kelly. She shared “Ascend” alongside that announcement.
Today (October 30), she offers another advance taste with “132 Techno.” The song showcases some of what Owens does best, melding atmospheric moments with a club-ready beat. The five-minute track goes through a few different movements while never letting up on the rhythm.
“This EP is about embodying sound and those collective, physical experiences we only really have in clubs or at music events. Sonically, it’s very visceral. I’ve been drawn to sounds that sit on the edge: ominous, uneasy, sometimes even uncomfortable. That’s just where I’ve been emotionally, and I think the world reflects that too. There’s this constant push and pull between wanting to rise above the chaos, and sometimes, willingly sinking into it.”
Listen to “132 Techno” above and find Owens’ upcoming live dates below.
11/21 — Manchester, UK @ The Warehouse Project (DJ)
11/22 — Bethesda, UK @ Neuadd Ogwen
11/23 — Edinburgh, Scotland @ Sneaky Pete’s
11/28 — Bristol, UK @ The Love Inn
12/05 — London, UK @ Drumsheds
Kelly is out 11/21 via dh2. Find more information here.
Billie Eilish’s “Birds Of A Feather” was a massive hit. It somehow never hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, but it has racked up over 3.1 billion streams and was one of 2024’s defining songs. In a new Wall Street Journal feature, though, Eilish says she frequently wanted to cut the song from Hit Me Hard And Soft.
The piece notes that Eilish and Finneas struggled to finish the song for 11 months, “retooling the chorus and struggling to find a way to deploy the line ‘I’ll love you till the day that I die’ in a way that didn’t feel trite.” When they did finish the track, Eilish wasn’t feeling the most confident about it. She said, “Multiple times, I was like, ‘We should cut this.’ Even when I played the whole album for the label, I was like, ‘Guys, this one is kind of stupid.’”
(This comes shortly after Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker shared his own experiences with almost giving the ax to songs that ended up being hits.)
She also noted that while working on the song, she wanted an element of “something dark” so it wasn’t just “rainbows and smiles,” saying, “We wrote about the idea that you’re going to die soon, and let’s make it last.”
Elsewhere, she discussed her new rules for touring, which include not being on the road for more than three consecutive weeks, go home between stints, and don’t do too many shows consecutively. She said, “It takes longer, and you make less money that way, but for me, it’s magical.”
