Yautja
Kayo Dot share "Magnetism" from new LP (listen)
“Magnetism” is a dense, transportive listen. It melds lush synths with stuttery drum patterns, noisy dissonance, and detailed vocal arrangements, resulting in something that, like a lot of their material, feels like it will take more than a few listens to fully absorb.

Cult Leader (ex-Gaza) streaming new EP; tour starts soon
In case you’ve forgotten: Utah metalcore sluggers Cult Leader are basically Gaza after a shakeup at the vocal spot.
