What People Are Saying About Clipping:
“This music here is less the atmospheric synthesizers of a Vangelis score and more the kind of neural buzz and ecstasy rush of the Crystal Method, the Chemical Brothers and the Prodigy soundtracking films like the mid-’90s inside-the-computer action of Hackers. However block-rockin’ their beats might be, clipping. aren’t excavating the past just for the sake of nostalgia.” 8/10, Exclaim
 
“Named after the static-filled sky in William Gibson’s sci-fi novel Neuromancer, the album’s cyberpunk-inspired production - courtesy of Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson - imagines an alternate reality where a fusion of electro, Dutch hardcore, drum ‘n’ bass and industrial noise is the norm, while rapper Daveed Diggs explores abandoned pasts and doomed futures in his signature rapid-fire style.” CRACK
 
“…rather than focus on opening up a discourse solely fixated on what a dystopian future might look like, the sixth album from Clipping creates an aural assault on the potential present in the name of all we have, and will, fail to overturn.” “Album of the Week,” Louder Than War

Hear Debby Friday’s Epic New Single “1/17”

Debby Friday is sharing “1/17”, an anthemic and salacious new dance pop single for 2025, available now worldwide from Sub Pop and in Canada from Royal Mountain Records.

Written and produced during a whirlwind European tour, “1/17” marks an exciting evolution for Debby Friday as she unveils a softer, more playful side of her artistry. Featuring hypnotic vocals and cheeky lyrics with nods to ancient Greece and nude selfies, the track exudes charm and lightness. With threads of experimental dance-pop woven seamlessly throughout, “1/17” is a refreshing addition to Debby Friday’s sonic world and a promising kickoff to her new era.

“1/17” was produced by Friday and Darcy Baylis, mixed by Alex Gamble, with assistance by Taylor Finnigan, and mastered by Levi Seitz. 

Its soaring and singular shot official video is directed by Friday and frequent collaborator Kevan Funk (“WHAT A MAN,” “SO HARD TO TELL”), and filmed at Toronto’s historic Massey Hall.

Friday says of the visual, “It’s based on an amalgamation of two experiences that I had. The first was when I won the Polaris Prize at Massey Hall, which felt like a peak moment in my career. The second was when, nine months later, I played a festival show to absolutely no one in the audience. I’ve spent the past year detaching myself from the highs and lows of this business and trying to see everything as a sign. Of what? I don’t know. But I’m sure in the end, it’ll all mean something.”

Debby Friday has scheduled two performances for the Spring and Summer of 2025: Thursday, May 15th in Brighton, UK at The Great Escape Festival and Sunday, August 3rd in Montreal at Osheaga Festival—additional live dates to be announced soon.

Debby Friday is currently at work on the upcoming follow-up to GOOD LUCK, her acclaimed Polaris Music Prize-winning, full-length debut, out now worldwide on Sub Pop.


Past praise for DEBBY FRIDAY:

“With perhaps the most confident and promising debut album of the year, the Toronto-based electronic musician Debby Friday creates an alluringly dark, industrial backdrop for her slinky self-mythologizing and galvanizing pep talks to herself. “Speak up, speak up, Friday Child,” she intones on the intention-setting opener. “Say what you came to say.” Does she ever.” [GOOD LUCK] “The Best Albums of 2023” - THE NEW YORK TIMES

“Album of the Week” [GOOD LUCK] - STEREOGUM

“GOOD LUCK is an assured and frequently surprising debut that feels like a trip into the lascivious, eclectic wormhole of Friday’s world – and with so much to take in, and so much fun to be had, you won’t want to leave.”  8/10 - CRACK

“Debby defies easy categorization, mixing rap, electro, post-punk, industrial, techno and more into a glitchy, bruising and bitcrushed blend that is fiery, magnetic and all her own.” [GOOD LUCK] - BROOKLYN VEGAN 

“Album of the Week” [GOOD LUCK] - TREBLE

“There’s an extraordinary elasticity across GOOD LUCK’s

masterful production that makes repeated listens not just enjoyable but irresistible.” “8/10, Album of the Week” - LOUD & QUIET

“Fans of Azealia Banks, JPEGMAFIA, SZA, Yves Tumor, and even Nine Inch Nails could all find themselves at home in her world. And soon enough, with her innovation and confidence, it seems like the rest of the world will, too.” “The Rising Artists You Need To Know” - ALTERNATIVE PRESS

“Packed into a succinct, live-wire 33-minutes, GOOD LUCK is testament to how effectively Friday can capture life in all its dense, unpredictable emotions.” - CHICAGO READER

“In contrast to the pulse-quickening tempos and noisy synths of her past music, her production is deft and graceful, with a skipping beat and cascading backing vocals. ‘Lady Friday/All you do is rеbel,’ Friday chastises herself—tough talk against a fragile, gorgeous sound.” [“SO HARD TO TELL”]  “Best New Track” - PITCHFORK

“One of the young year’s most audacious bangers” [“SO HARD TO TELL”] - BILLBOARD

“Hyperpop can sometimes come off as abrasive but in the hands of Canadian singer Debby Friday it’s soulful, even elegant.” [“SO HARD TO TELL”] - NYLON

“A graceful entrance into yet another territory: lush R&B”[“SO HARD TO TELL”] “Now Playing” - NPR MUSIC

Fucked Up’s Limited-Edition 7” “Disabuse” b/w “Self-Driving Man” Out Today

Today, March 14th, Canadian punk icons Fucked Up release a limited 7” single, “Disabuse” b/w “Self-Driving Man,” on Sub Pop Records. The two blistering punk tracks leap out of the speakers, bearing the indelible stamps of Pacific Northwest punk icons Poison Idea’s 1990 anti-oppression anthem “Discontent” and Japanese punk masters Paintbox’s “The Door.” The two songs are perfectly suited for a Sub Pop single, and fans who buy direct from Sub Pop and the band can grab a limited-edition alternate sleeve based on Poison Idea’s classic 1990 Sub Pop Singles Club 7”.
 
“Disabuse,” is a song Damian, the band’s singer, wrote for his daughter, who experienced bullying and intimidation. The B-side, “Self Driving Man,” wrestles the out-of-control automation of our world onto the pavement and into the abyss of faceless progress.

These shows will feature selections from Suki’s acclaimed Sub Pop albums, including Memoir of a Sparklemuffin, her 2024 sophomore album, as well as from her debut I Can’t Let Go, and the Milk Teeth EP, which features the platinum-selling single “Good Looking.” Her wildly successful 2024 sold-out US tour saw her perform over 30 shows. Additionally, last year, Suki opened for one of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stops in London.

Memoir of a Sparklemuffin is “a sprawling 18-track release that never outstays its welcome and features plenty of shining moments” (Associated Press). The album, which features the Top 10 AAA radio single “Supersad” and Suki’s masterful video for “Model, Actress, Whatever,” along with highlights “To Love,” “OMG,” “My Fun,” and ‘Faded,” is available worldwide from Sub Pop. 
 
The platinum-certified songstress asserts herself as a versatile, vibrant, and vital presence on Memoir of a Sparklemuffin.

All Music says Memoir of a Sparklemuffin is “A dramatic, double-length sophomore LP that puts the musician/actress in the company of artists like Lana Del Rey and Angel Olsen” (4 Stars). The Line of Best Fit says, “Waterhouse offers an immersive journey through the corners of her mind. With stylings reminiscent of Lana Del Rey and Wolf Alice, it’s a messy yet beautiful array of diary-like confessions that weave between cutting balladry and defiant pop-rock.”
 
The praise for Memoir of a Sparklemuffin also led to Suki’s late-night TV debut performance of “Model, Actress, Whatever” on Jimmy Kimmel Live in October, as well as an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, with a rousing performance of “My Fun.”
 
Suki recently released “Dream Woman,” a mesmeric ballad out now worldwide on Sub Pop. The single was composed by Suki, Jules Apollinaire, and Natalie Findlay, written by Suki and Findlay, and produced by Apollinaire. The official video for “Dream Woman” is directed by Imogen Waterhouse, with Madeleine Jean Waterhouse as director of photography.

Alan Sparhawk of Low Announces New Album, With Trampled by Turtles Available May 30th

On Friday, May 30th, Sub Pop Records will release With Trampled by Turtles, the sophomore solo effort from Alan Sparhawk of Low. With Trampled by Turtles is a record exactly as its name implies: a collective, communal, fraternal and empathetic record, recorded with the assistance of long-time friends and fellow Minnesotans, Trampled by Turtles.
 
With Trampled by Turtles was recorded at the end of 2023 at Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. Alan Sparhawk came in towards the end of Trampled by Turtles’ session there, with several songs in development. Some had never worked in Low; others were fresh and waiting for the right setting. For years, the two parties had talked about making something together, but the talk was never more than hypothetical. When Sparhawk needed it most, the promise reemerged, sharper than ever. “When the opportunity seems right,” Sparhawk says, “you jump.”
 
Today, they share an official video for the album’s debut offering, “Stranger.” Voices are abundant, and a full chorus harmonizes in their new video, which was edited by Jacob Kasar. Watch here.
 
With Trampled by Turtles follows the release of Sparhawk’s 2024 solo debut, White Roses, My God, which received praise from outlets such as such as The GuardianStereogumPitchforkClashMOJOUncutThe Line of Best FitUnder The RadarBrooklyn Vegan, and The New York Times.
 
With Trampled by Turtles is available to preorder now from Sub Pop. LP preorders from the Sub Pop Mega Mart (North America), Mega Mart 2 (UK/EU) and independent retailers worldwide will receive the limited Loser Edition on Sunflare Vinyl (US) and Cream White (UK/EU) while stock lasts!

Alan Sparhawk With Trampled by Turtles
 
No one can help you build something beautiful quite like those who know you best. Alan Sparhawk knows this well. In his years in Low, he built decades of stirring music with his wife and lifelong creative partner Mimi Parker. In recent years, he has performed with his son Cyrus in DERECHO Rhythm Section, a funk band that also frequently features his daughter Hollis on vocals. There’s an irreplaceable naturalism that comes with this kind of dynamic. Those who know you understand you. They love you. They want to help you bring your greatest passions to fruition.
 
And so, it only made sense that Sparhawk would turn to fellow Duluth musicians Trampled by Turtles to realize his latest record. As friends and mentees of Low’s, taken under Sparhawk and Parker’s wing from their earliest days as a bar band—Trampled by Turtles have performed with Sparhawk countless times over the years. The Duluth ties run deep: “There’s a certain vibe that has to do with underdog syndrome, coming from a small town,” Sparhawk muses. “Some of it is the weird grind and slackness that being at the mercy of Mother Nature puts in you. It humbles you.”
 
The two artists hold the kind of ironclad, lifelong bond where they stand by one another as artists and people. Following Parker’s passing in 2022, Trampled by Turtles invited Sparhawk to join them on tour to give him a space to be surrounded by friends. Occasionally, he would join them onstage. The outpouring of love was palpable every time they played together, a surge of warmth. Nurturance was in every note.
 
“When playing together is that powerful an embrace, why stop there?”Why indeed? Read more here…

Bria Salmena (FRIGS, Orville Peck) Shares Official Video “Rags” [NSFW] From Her Forthcoming Debut Solo Album “Big Dog”

Following the release of “Stretch the Struggle” and Hammer,” Bria Salmena shares the electrifying new single and video “Rags”, directed by Julia Hendrickson and Justin Aranha.
 
“Rags” is a song about transgressive rage and the catharsis that is possible when it’s given permission to move freely through the body. Inspired by the X-ray photography series of co-director Justin Aranha, the “Rags” video is a visual exploration of what it feels like to strip away things that no longer serve you, a theme that we see throughout the album. The video centers the “body” of the community as the vehicle through which rage can be shared, held, and transformed. Surrounded by Bria’s friends and community, a heightened collective vulnerability and connection to rage is redefined by togetherness.
 
From Salmena, “In writing Rags and developing the video concept in collaboration with director Julia Hendrickson, “accommodation” revealed itself as the foundation of the rage we were both drawing inspiration from. Altering your values to accommodate external expectations was a feeling I knew all too well from my adolescence. When I realized I was losing myself, as an adult, to the same vices of external validation, I felt like an angry teenage girl all over again. As a way of reconciling this self-awareness, I sat in my bedroom and tried to write a song my fifteen-year-old self would want to hear.”
 
Director Julia Hendrickson shares, “When I first heard “Rags,” I was moved by its raw anger, intensity, and sexuality—a fierce, youthful, and self-assured energy. I knew I wanted the video to capture those same qualities. There’s so much to be angry about right now, and Bria’s rage carves out a space where you can scream alongside her.”
 
You can watch the official video for “Rags” here.
 
Big Dog will be released on March 28th via Royal Mountain in Canada and Sub Pop for the remainder of the world. Long celebrated as the frontwoman of Canadian post-punk outfit FRIGS and as a vocalist in Orville Peck’s band, Bria Salmena culminates her artistic evolution on her debut solo album. Anchored by her commanding voice, the album chronicles a story of transformation–a deeply personal exploration of resilience and a declaration of artistic independence.
 
Salmena will commence her North American Tour next week. See below for a full list of upcoming tour dates. Tickets are now available via Bria Salmena’s official website.
