After an advanced listen, Sébastien Tellier’s Kiss The Beast feels like a carefully curated return to his most seductive instincts, while still pushing into stranger, more modern territory. Set for release this Friday, January 30, 2026 via Because Music, the album moves fluidly between intimate synth pop, disco flash, and moments of unsettling beauty, all held together by Tellier’s unmistakable sense of atmosphere.

The title and image of Mitski’s new release, “Where’s My Phone?”, are immediately striking. It feels like it could go one of two ways: a genuine work of art or another piece of lukewarm modern drivel. Thankfully, it’s the former. This song is undeniably art, and it sounds incredible. Even without prior familiarity with Mitski’s music, the name carries a quiet weight, lingering somewhere in the background.

Three tracks from Charli XCX have been released so far in anticipation of her upcoming album Wuthering Heights. This piece will focus on Wall of Sound, her latest release. Taken together, the three tracks feel like a kind of loading screen for the album. The first two tracks, House featuring John Cale and Wall of Sound, have a distinctly cinematic quality, as if they exist mainly to build atmosphere and tension. That said, they still sound great. Chains of Love feels like the most fully realized song of the three.
