FOXTIDE
Entropy
From Tinnitist:
Made up by Elijah Gibbins-Croft, Oey James and Ian Robles, Foxtide are a byproduct of being bred by the beach and raised by a DIY house show scene. The SoCal three-piece were formed around garage jam sessions and earned their cult following through the intense vitality of their live shows.
Nine Inch Noize
TOMORA
From Wikipedia:
Come Closer is the debut studio album by the electronic music supergroup Tomora, composed of English producer Tom Rowlands and Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora. It was released on 17 April 2026 through Fontana and Capitol Records.
Come Closer developed from studio sessions that were not initially intended to result in a full-length release. Rowlands said the pair began making music "without any idea that it would lead to anything or that we were even making an album", adding that he "cherished this moment of freedom, creativity and making something great".
THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS
The World is To Dig
From Wikipedia:
They Might Be Giants, often abbreviated as TMBG, is an American alternative rock band formed in 1982 by vocalist and guitarist John Flansburgh and vocalist and multi-instrumentalist John Linnell.
