Ratboys Announce ‘Singin’ To An Empty Chair’ With The Rollicking Single ‘Anywhere’

In September, Ratboys announced a tour, and now the news fans have been hoping for has arrived: Today (October 28), the announced Singin’ To An Empty Chair, a new album set for February 6, 2026. Also today, they shared a video for the upbeat new single “Anywhere.”

The band’s Julia Steiner says of the album in a statement:

“A big, overarching theme of this record is my attempt to document my experience being estranged from a close loved one. The goal is to update this person on what’s been going on in my life and to try to bridge that impasse and reach out a hand into the void. […]

The experience of making this record definitely gives me hope for whatever happens next. There are plenty of good days, days filled with friendship and love, and then there are days when I dwell on things and desperately want to bridge the gap. It’s my whole life, you know? So, for me, this record is a document of all of those days stitched together, like a quilt in a time capsule, just waiting to get dug up when the time is right.”

Sean Neumann also says, “We wanted to approach this record like it was a quilt. We recorded the songs in all these different places, so we approached it in a way where different songs had different scenes. Certain parts of songs were recorded in different spaces, and we switch back and forth between them throughout the record to help tell the story of each song.”

Watch the “Anywhere” video above. Below, find the Singin’ To An Empty Chair cover art and tracklist, as well as the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Doechii Insists Her Tour Slide Malfunctions Are Not Planned, With A Sticky Explanation

Doechii’s been having a lot of fun on her Live From The Swamp tour, introducing K-pop-style light sticks to hip-hop audiences. However, she’s also suffered a few prop malfunctions; a sequence in which she slides down a slide while performing “Denial Is A River” has gone wrong a number of times, spawning viral videos on social media, along with speculation that the malfunctions are actually planned to generate that buzz.

Doechii heard you think she’s doing that on purpose, and in a new post on her social channels, she explained just what’s gone wrong, while denying (heh) that any of it is intentional.

“I wanna talk about what’s going on with the slide because some of you are speculating that I’m doing it on purpose,” she says in the video, ultimately placing the blame on a separate prop. “This mechanical desk jerks when it moves, and in order for me to not fly off of it — which I did a couple times in rehearsal — we had to put grip tape on the desk. The grip tape is basically like sandpaper, so when I’m standing on it or sitting on it, I don’t move and fall over.”

“What’s happening is, my performance stockings are ripping because I’m sitting on sandpaper, and I’m performing on sandpaper,” she continued. “So by the time I get to the part in the song for the slide, my bare ass cheeks are sticking to the slide because I’m sweating. They put the towel there, but as soon as I put the towel there, the wind from my big fat booty blows the towel away.”

So, there you have it; it’s either tumble down the slide, or fly off the desk. It sounds like Doechii has chosen the safer — and funnier — option.

PinkPantheress And JT Get Cabin Fever In Their Halloween-Themed ‘Noises’ Video

PinkPantheress gets into the spooky season with her Halloween-themed video for “Noises” featuring JT, from PP’s Fancy Some More? remix album. In the video, which alternates between haunting color and bone-chilling and black-and-white, the two stars hole up in their house on a dark and stormy night, while being stalked by shadowy figures and pelted by poltergeists.

Fancy Some More? is an updated version of Pinkpantheress’ debut, Fancy That, with remixes from a litany of creators in dance, hip-hop, and more. In a press release about Fancy Some More?, PinkPantheress said of the remix project, “With this remix project, Fancy Some More?, I wanted to explore how the songs can live in different worlds while still holding onto the emotion of the original. Hearing other artists reimagine it has been so inspiring. Each remix brings a new energy and texture, while still keeping the heart of the track intact. It’s been so exciting to see ‘Fancy That’ take on these new, international lives & global perspectives.”

PinkPantheress is currently on her North American tour, An Evening With PinkPantheress, with appearances at Coachella and Primavera Sound planned in 2026.

You can watch PinkPantheress’ “Noises” featuring JT video above.

Young Miko Will Wrap Up Her Massive 2025 With A New Album, ‘Do Not Disturb’

Puerto Rican rapper/singer Young Miko has been on the up-and-up lately. After releasing her debut album Att. last year, Miko just finished a run of shows supporting Billie Eilish on the Hit Me Hard And Soft tour. She also had a feature on Central Cee’s new album from earlier this year, Can’t Rush Greatness. Now she’s at the dawn of her own new era: Last week, she announced Do Not Disturb, a new album set for early next month.

She also shared the single “Likey Likey.” On the rap track, she’s back in full “trap kitty” mode (like the title of her 2022 debut EP).

Miko also recently announced her first headlining show at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, and the show sold out quickly, in 90 minutes, so a second was added.

Rosalía Partners With Björk And Yves Tumor For Her Spectacular New ‘Berghain’ Video

Last week, Rosalía had a big outdoor stunt in Spain to announce her new album, Lux. No new music came with that news, though, but now, we have our first listen of the album: Today (October 27), Rosalía shared “Berghain.”

The song is a collaboration with Björk and Yves Tumor. A press release describes it as “the grand orchestral centerpiece of Lux‘s second movement” and “an operatic journey across languages and emotion” (the song is sung in German, Spanish, and English). There’s also a video and like the initial album announce, it’s a spectacle (directed by Nicolás Méndez).

A press release previously said of the project, “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.”

Oneohtrix Point Never Teases His New Album With The Atmospheric ‘Measuring Ruins’

Taking a break from his work on movies like Marty Supreme, Daniel Lopatin has a new Oneohtrix Point Never album, Tranquilizer, on the way.

He shared three new songs when he announced it last week. Now, there’s another new one, “Measuring Ruins.” Like the songs the preceded it, it’s an atmospheric and layered sound collage.

Product pages for the album include the 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 says 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 “Measuring Ruins” above. Find the Tranquilizer cover art and tracklist below, along with OPN’s upcoming tour dates.

Florence + The Machine’s Striking ‘Sympathy Magic’ Video Starts With Her Completely Nude

We’re days away from Halloween, which means we’re days away from the release of the new Florence + The Machine album Everybody Scream, which drops on the 31st. In the home stretch of the pre-release cycle, the group has shared a new video, for “Sympathy Magic.”

The first couple shots are certainly memorable: The first is of a group of women kneeling in a circle and holding their hands together in a star-like pattern, and the second is of Florence Welch, from behind, looking over a vast landscape as she stands completely naked. The rest of the video, directed by Autumn de Wilde, features similarly theatrical and cinematic shots.

The video comes after they debuted the song with a performance on The Tonight Show.

Radiohead’s ‘Let Down’ Is A Viral Hit, But Thom Yorke ‘Fought Tooth And Nail’ For It To Be Cut From ‘OK Computer’

Thom Yorke Radiohead The Smile 2022

Earlier this year, Radiohead’sLet Down,” an OK Computer promotional single in 1997, went viral and thus made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it just the band’s fourth song to ever make the ranks and their first in nearly two decades. The band’s Thom Yorke is pretty surprised by this, especially considering he really, really didn’t want the song to even be on the album.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, he said, “I find that especially bizarre, because I fought tooth and nail for it not to be on the record, but Ed [O’Brien] was, like, ‘If it’s not, I’m leaving.’” O’Brien called the song the “emotional heart” of the album but admitted, “Still, I was astonished. So I told my kids, who are 18 and 21, and they said, ‘What do you expect? Teenagers are depressed. It’s depressing music!’”

Elsewhere in the chat, in light of their 2017 performance in Tel Aviv, they were asked if they’d perform in Israel again given current goings-on and Yorke said, “Absolutely not. I wouldn’t want to be 5,000 miles anywhere near the Netanyahu regime but Jonny [Greenwood] has roots there. So I get it.” Greenwood added, “I would also politely disagree with Thom. I would argue that the government is more likely to use a boycott and say, ‘Everyone hates us — we should do exactly what we want,’ which is far more dangerous.”
