It's not a scenario most will encounter, but what does one do after receiving an Oscar nomination for a debut film score? Following his collaboration with surrealist filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos, experimental pop composer Jerskin Fendrix returns to his roots. Capturing the musical scope of these ten tracks—ranging from heartfelt orchestral ballads ('Mum & Dad') to grand art pop ('Princess') and peculiar jazz/rap rock ('Jerskin Fendrix Freestyle')—is a challenging task. Perhaps it's better to consider this latest work as an expression of post-ironic sincerity (evidenced by the cover art featuring him with a sheep, among other things). While the visuals and title might elicit laughter, the poignant and bittersweet themes he explores in the standout track 'The Universe' illustrate that this album transcends irony in pursuit of genuine, meaningful eccentricity.
Wet Leg have released the new video for 'mangetout'. This song is included on the band's summer album 'moisturizer', which marked their second No. 1 album.
Dry Cleaning is set to embark on a complete UK tour in April 2026. The Bristol-based band has recently indicated their comeback, with the highly awaited new album 'Secret Love' scheduled for release.
Definitely worth the wait.
