Artists’ props backfiring on them during concerts is always an attention-grabbing occurrence, but one artist has begun making hers a hallmark of her tour. During Doechii’s Live From The Swamp tour, the Florida native has introduced K-pop-style lightsticks, pop artist covers, and more. But the standout is undoubtedly a playground-style slide she descends as she performs “Denial Is A River.” She went down perfectly on night one, but since then, she’s had trouble, getting stuck halfway down during her Toronto stop.

The mishaps didn’t stop there. During her stop in New York on Monday night (October 20), things went the other way; instead of getting stuck, she descended too quickly, tumbling down on her stomach. Fortunately, she recovered as she touched down, continuing the song without missing a beat.

If this happens again, it’s a pattern, but you know what? Somehow, I wouldn’t be too surprised to learn that each “fumbled” descent was planned to a tee. After all, as much as Doechii prides herself on her creativity and execution, she also has an impish sense of humor and a keen understanding of how to hold fans’ attention. This would certainly qualify; videos of both have been shared and reshared all over social media for the past few days, and despite some folks using them to nitpick the burgeoning star’s show, most users have found it endearing, humanizing, and above all, hilarious.

The folks at A24 know how to make a movie, so it stands to reason that they’d do a pretty bang-up job at filming musical performances, too. They’re giving it a shot now, alongside their off-Broadway venue Cherry Lane Theatre: Today (October 21), they’ve announced a new filmed concert series titled Sound Check (not to be confused with Uproxx’s own Sound Check video series).

The first installment is out now and it features Tame Impala, fresh off the release of his album Deadbeat. In addition to the first live performance of “My Old Ways,” the set also includes “Dracula” and “Loser.” It is directed by A24 director Sean Durkin (known for The Iron Claw and Martha Marcy May Marlene).

Rolling Loud is headed back down unda in 2026. The traveling festival will follow up its successful 2019 run at Sydney Olympic Park with two new dates at two new venues: March 7th at Sydney’s Centennial Park and March 8th at Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse. The first announced performer is Gunna, who will be in the midst of a world tour after finishing up in South Africa and before heading to Europe.

In a press release for the announcement, Rolling Loud Co-Founders/Co-CEOs Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif said, “We’re thrilled to finally bring Rolling Loud back to Australia. The energy from Sydney in 2019 was unforgettable, and this time we’re expanding that experience with shows in both Sydney and Melbourne. Australia has always shown real love for Rolling Loud, and we can’t wait to deliver something special for the fans Down Under.”

The original lineup for Rolling Loud Australia in 2019 was headlined by Future, with performances from Gunna, Playboi Carti, Rae Sremmurd, Smokepurpp, Tyga, and YG. Lil Uzi Vert and Ski Mask The Slump God were both billed, but dropped out at the last minute. The festival reportedly sold 20,000 tickets for its first event in kangaroo country.

Rolling Loud’s return to Australia will come after the festival’s inaugural run in India this November. You can, as always, find more information at rollingloud.com

In 2017, I visited a mid-budget hotel near the Mall Of America in suburban Minneapolis to interview Mitski for my podcast. The night before, I watched her play a sold-out show at a local rock club. She was, at the time, a critical favorite just starting to become indie-famous. Her most recent album, Puberty 2, made year-end lists but didn’t top them. I was a fan, though I wouldn’t have predicted the path her career would eventually take. She was just a really good artist, I thought, not necessarily a budding pop superstar.

For about a half hour, we talked in her hotel room while her band was off riding the mall’s indoor roller coaster. Two things were immediately apparent: She was one of the most self-possessed musicians I’d ever met, and she was determined to not go along with the crowd. “I have a hard time joining scenes, like music scenes or art scenes,” she told me. “I have a better time collecting friends that I connect with on an individual level and just created my own spread-out community.”

I thought about that interview while watching Mitski: The Land, a new concert movie set to screen exclusively in theaters nationwide on Wednesday. It was impossible not to notice how far she’s come: The Land was filmed over three nights in 2024 at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, during the tour in support of her most recent album, 2023’s stunning The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We. That record features “My Love Mine All Mine,” the viral hit that has streamed more than 1.7 billion times on Spotify and exposed Mitski to a much different (and younger) audience than the millennial indie fans who populated that Minneapolis gig eight years ago. This is evidenced early in The Land, when Mitski stops to thank the parents in attendance for escorting their kids to the show, after which she gently addresses the rest of the audience in a cadence best described as “Ms. Rachel goes to art school.”

And then there’s the prescient substance of our interview, particularly the part about being her own island. That’s precisely what she is in The Land — dressed simply in black slacks and white top, she moves about a starkly decorated stage alone, with members of her excellent seven-piece band situated on the outer edges. On film, director Grant James takes a cue from Andi Watson’s minimalist stage design by emphasizing Mitski’s singularity, framing her at a remove from the audience and her fellow musicians. She is, in almost every shot, holding all our attention; When James cuts to the band, he keeps her out of the frame. Otherwise, Mitski’s most prominent on-screen co-stars are the two chairs she deploys as props at center stage.

It’s a fascinating contrast with the biggest concert film of the decade, 2023’s Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. That movie is designed to show off the enormity of the subject’s fame, with endless sweeping overhead stadium shots where tens of thousands of delirious Swifties genuflect at the altar of Taylor. It is meant to be a worshipful monument to Taylor Swift As One-Woman Monoculture, a representation of Pop Fandom As Community. But Mitski, as she said, is a woman apart. In The Land, she’s building a world, her own world. And she’s inviting you to watch her move through that world. Though, importantly, she doesn’t necessarily extend that invitation to join her there.

Thankfully, watching Mitski is more than enough. She has become, years after playing rock clubs and staying at mid-budget hotels on the edge of town, the rare indie star who has earned the big-screen treatment.

Back when we spoke in the late 2010s, Mitski admitted she was still learning how to be a performer. Like many other indie breakouts at the time, she was part of the so-called Bandcamp Generation that became popular online as bedroom-pop artists and then formed bands to play live once there was enough demand for them to tour. It was an inverse of the old “tour until you get signed” model that became a necessity as the economics of the music industry turned against independent artists.

Most of those acts never became truly great live performers. (I recall in that era sitting through many dispiritingly boring live gigs by artists whose albums I really liked.) Mitski, however, was dutiful about paying her dues. In our interview, she told me about playing “really shitty places in New York City three times a week, just to perform to people who don’t want to hear me. Just old guys who look like Bukowski who want me to shut up or be a jukebox.”

You can see and hear the dividends of those efforts in The Land, which documents Mitski’s confident transformation into one of the most theatrical (and occasionally bonkers) on-stage presences in contemporary music. Throughout the film, we see her acting out songs with a mix of pantomime and Jazzercise-style kicks and air-punches. Working with the choreographer Monica Mirabile, Mitski isn’t what I would call a “great” dancer. But she is a transfixing — and delectably odd — mover and shaker, which might actually be better in this context. Watching her gesticulate throughout the 21-song set re-enforced in my mind Mitski’s separation from all the other artists of her generation, who for the most part tend to hide behind guitars and pianos on-stage. Few have the conviction to be a complete weirdo for the sake of art like she does. In The Land, she is, truly, a person without fear. Which means her peers aren’t contemporary but historical — specifically, the three B’s of old-school eccentric avant-pop (Bowie, Byrne, and Bush). On stage, Mitski has officially assumed her place in that lineage.

When I reviewed The Land Is Inhospitable, I concluded that the album’s dreamy country-rock soundscapes didn’t sound like the work of an artist courting a large audience. Instead, the music was “situated in a strange, shadowy environment that exists strictly in the singer’s imagination.” Turns out I was half right about that. Like Stop Making Sense meets Twin Peaks: The Return, Mitski’s concert film certainly presents a strange and shadowy cinematic experience. But that strange and shadowy quality is precisely what has made Mitski such a big star, which The Land documents just as surely as the Eras film captured Taylor Swift’s ubiquity.

Like all the most memorable concert movies, The Land functions as a kind of capstone. For Mitski, it may very well be the definitive encapsulation of her career up to now, given the catalog-spanning setlist — that, interestingly, leaves off “Your Best American Girl,” the most famous song of her “early” period — and the peak-of-her-powers command of the audience. Where she goes after this is anyone’s guess. But whatever direction she chooses will be entirely her own, no doubt.

In Spain last night (October 20), Rosalía hosted a public stunt (here are some photos), in which all the lights in the area were turned off, then Rosalia brought back brightness to announce her next album, Lux, by revealing its album cover.

The album, a follow-up to 2022’s Motomami, is set to arrive soon, on November 7. A press release notes the project was recorded with the London Symphonic Orchestra conducted by Daníel Bjarnason and features “feminine voices,” including Björk, Carminho, Estrella Morente, Silvia Pérez Cruz, and the Escolania de Montserrat i Cor Cambra Palau de la Música Catalana, Yahritza, and Yves Tumor.

The release also describes, “The album traces a widescreen emotional arc of feminine mystique, transformation, and transcendence — moving between intimacy and operatic scale to create a radiant world where sound, language, and culture fuse as one.”

Leon Thomas’ Pholks EP is just days away from release, which he announced with a new trailer starring Issa Rae. The Insecure creator is a disco diva in the short clip, giving Thomas a funk-filled introduction in the style of the television variety shows that showcased some of his inspirations back in the 1970s. “This man will make your liver quiver,” Rae declares. “This man will make your bladder splatter. This man will set your knees free.”

The two stars previously shared the screen in Insecure, where Thomas played a romantic foil to Issa’s fictionalized version of herself. At least, that’s the nice way of putting it — in reality, their characters were more like awkward friends with benefits. It’s nice to see that the friendship part was real, and that they’ve maintained it since.

Thomas announced Pholks earlier this month, sharing its first single, “Just How You Are,” on the 2nd. The single teased a new direction after his breakout with Mutt. In an interview with Billboard prior to the announcement, he said of the new era, “I don’t really mind being in this position where we push Mutt for so long because it deserves to be heard by the world. m excited to be one of the trailblazers who brings back those old feelings without having to steal their chords or melodies.”

Kehlani is all about her daughter, Adeya Nomi Parrish Young-White. The pair has been nearly inseparable, with Kehlani featuring Adeya on social media and in music videos, and even bringing her on the red carpet at this year’s Grammy Awards.

In a new video for Billboard, Adeya takes on the role of interviewer, asking her mom about the inspirations behind Kehlani’s new music, friendship with Cardi B, and the viral TikTok trend sparked by Kehlani’s latest single, “Folded.” Adeya proves to be an adept journalist, astutely following up her mom’s responses, asking why Kehlani wanted to release “Folded,” how it got made, and what it was like seeing “Folded” become the latest TikTok challenge to take off.

“It was crazy,” Kehlani replied. “It just happened naturally.”

When Kehlani was asked about her friendship with Cardi B, with whom she most recently collaborated on “Safe,” the singer praised Cardi for being a genuine person. “She’s really herself and she knows how to be herself all the time,” Kehlani said. “And she’s not afraid of what the world is going to say about her being herself. And she just makes you want to root for her because she’s really loving and she doesn’t care what anybody thinks and I think we could all use a little bit of that.”

You can watch the full interview up top.

Bruce Springsteen previously said of Jeremy Allen White portraying him in the movie Deliver Me From Nowhere, “Jeremy is such a terrific actor that you just fall right into it. He’s got an interpretation of me that I think the fans will deeply recognize. He’s just done a great job, so I’ve had a lot of fun being on the set when I can get there.”

Fans will soon be able to be impressed by White, too, as the film is set to premier on October 24, this weekend. If they like what they hear, they’ll be able to listen to White’s performances again and again via the soundtrack album that was just announced. It’s basically all White, as he sings on all but one track.

Five songs — “Nebraska, “Atlantic City, “Mansion On The Hill, “I’m On Fire, and “Born In The U.S.A. (Power Station)” — will be shared on the same day as the movie’s release, while the full album will be available on December 5.

Daniel Lopatin is always doing something. He just did the music for the movie Marty Supreme, for example. He remains active as Oneohtrix Point Never, too, with his latest album, Again, arriving in 2023. The discography is about to grow: Today (October 20), Lopatin announced a new OPN album, Tranquilizer, set to arrive on November 21.

He also shared three new songs: “For Residue,” “Bumpy,” and “Lifeworld,” all of which come across as atmospheric audio collages. Product pages for the album include this description:

“Tranquilizer conjures a sonic hallucination: ambient calm twisting into digital chaos; mundane textures giving way to emotional overload. It’s a record shaped by obscurity and obsolescence. Real and unreal blur. Samples melt into static. A door creaks open inside a dream.”

A press release also notes the project was “sparked by Lopatin’s discovery that a vast archive of 90s sample CDs had vanished from the Internet Archive, a moment that left Lopatin creatively charged.”

Listen to the new songs above. Find the Tranquilizer cover art and tracklist below.
