If you’re into angular post punk, bands with ironic, detached song names, or anyone on the Matador Records roster, rising London three-piece bar italia may be for you. The band has announced that The Twits, its second LP of the year, will be out November 3rd, and shared the record’s first single, “my little tony.”
Nina Cristante, Jezmi Tarik Fehmi, and Sam Fenton recorded the second bar italia album in a makeshift studio in Mallorca, Spain earlier this year, tapping Marta Salogni to mix the project. While their debut, May’s Tracey Denim, relished in mid-tempo soundscapes and abstract, nearly spoken-word vocals, “my little tony” picks up the pace a bit, with fuzzed out bass delivering a classic indie rock head bobber. Check out the single below.

Depeche Mode, the post-synth-pop group that made sensual broodiness a part of the mainstream, have returned with a new album titled Memento Mori. You can stream it below.
Memento Mori, their first album in five years, is also their official return after the loss of founding member Andrew “Fletch” Fletcher in 2022. Their 15th record and much like many others of the last few years, Memento Mori is rooted in the unexpectedly free time the pandemic granted. The loneliness it bred thematically strings the tracks together, along with some more characteristically defining tropes of the group, like the binary between depuration and delight, and delusive devotion. Production by James Ford and Marta Salogni was key in communicating such rich yet glum atmospheres.
In an interview with Zane Lowe from Apple Music 1, Dave Gahan touched on how minimalism was a part of the group’s approach to the new album. “Some of...

During the peak of the pandemic, Depeche Mode’s members found themselves simultaneously making sense of Covid’s widespread loss while trying to appreciate life in the moment. Those two themes kept popping up when frontman Dave Gahan and singer and multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore were writing lyrics for what would become their 15th album. They embraced this idea by calling the album Memento Mori.
“The direct translation [for ‘memento mori’] is, ‘Remember that you must die,'” Gahan says via phone from Berlin, a few days before the band’s Tuesday press conference announcing Memento Mori.
