Q&A with #Thao (@killrockstars, @CharmSchoolM, @thaogetstaydown). “There was fear of professional backlash for being out—you could find that you were holding back your truest parts so you’d have a shot at building the career you wanted.” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2026/11/0…
#MAGNETExclusive: Premiere of @thecourettes’ “Killer Kiss” video (@wickedcool_nyc, @earshotmedia). “It’s dreamy, with faded memories. So jump on for a night ride—and never mind the lipstick mark on your record player.” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2026/11/0…
#MAGNETExclusive: Full-LP premiere of the Deathray Davies’ “Lampshade Earthquake Microphone” (#HavingFun, #WeAreBusyBodies). “It represents everything I want #theDeathrayDavies to be: ’60s influences, found sounds, pop hooks, lyrics about reinvention”: magnetmagazine.com/2026/11/0…
MAGNET Exclusive: Premiere of #Concussa’s “Tabula Rasa” (featuring #WhiteCliffs). “The song is an anger fantasy about indulging in a nihilistic spiral into global oblivion.” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2026/11/0…
#MAGNETExclusive: #TheHails go track by track on “Duckpond” (@ONErpm, @the_hails). “It may seem like this album wants to shake its fist at the world. But really, it wants to find beauty and levity in unlikely places.” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2026/11/0…
Q&A with #MattPond (@thesonderhouse, @mattpondpa, @sirenscallpr). “I love the stream of consciousness and repetition of my style of songwriting because that’s where I’ve learned how to sift through my thoughts and find truths.” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2026/11/0…
MAGNET Exclusive: Premiere of #ImaginaryPeople’s “All The Glitter” (@Imagpeoplenyc). “There’s no telling the amplitude of certain death, but the gesture to imagine is all you have when the end comes.” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2026/11/0…
#FiveQuestions w/ #LeonMajcen (#Cloverdale, @leonmajcen). “I said yes to every opportunity that came my way these past four years, and I don’t regret it. But saying yes to everything isn’t exactly the spitting definition of living life on your own terms”: magnetmagazine.com/2026/11/0…
#MAGNETExclusive: Premiere of #Bleu’s “This Song Won’t Sell” video (#Miracle, @LicoricePizzaLP, @bleutopia). “This is my ode to all the other songwriters who have to wrestle with art versus commerce.” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2026/11/0…
#EssentialNewMusic: #OrenAmbarchi’s “Cooked” (@dragcityrecords, @orenambarchi). “It hits you 10 minutes in that you’ve been hearing his personal take on the evolution of @milesdavis’ 1970s electric sound.” Read our review: magnetmagazine.com/2026/11/0…
#MAGNETExclusive: Premiere of #TwoDarkBirds’ “The Song To End It All” video (#Vfib, @TeamClermont). “It’s a hazy, dreamlike interpretation featuring your average American primate as the central figure taking you through his day. Make America Ape Again?”: magnetmagazine.com/2026/11/0…

Q&A with #RichardThompson (@newwestrecords, @RthompsonMusic). “People seem to like ‘I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight.’ They say, ‘That’s your best record.’ Oh, thanks a lot. What about the last three?” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2026/10/3…
#MAGNETExclusive: Premiere of @kramies’ “We’re All Dead” (@TeamClermont). “It’s a happy reminder that the only thing that matters and that people remember is the kindness you gave and the kindness you received. Other than that, we’re all dead”: magnetmagazine.com/2026/10/3…
#FiveQuestions w/ #theJetBlackBerries (@propeller_sound @BabyRobotMedia). “Revisiting this record 40 years later is great. Hopefully, the ideas will reach new ears, taking people on our cinematic journey through space, time, zombies and western lands”: magnetmagazine.com/2026/10/2…
#MAGNETExclusive: Premiere of #MikoMarks’ “It’s Alright” (@RedtoneRecords). “I was going through a time of transition and big change. I found myself learning how to navigate life on my own, and there are moments when I question where my path will lead”: magnetmagazine.com/2026/10/2…
