Jenny Hval has been on an incredible run these past few years: In 2021, Lost Girls — her duo with her husband and creative partner, avant-guitarist Håvard Volden — released their expansive, experimental debut LP, Menneskekollektivet, The FADER’s 35th favorite album of the year. Last year, as a solo artist, she guested on The FADER Interview and released Classic Objects — an unprecedentedly poppy entry into her catalog, and our 15th favorite record of 2022.
Today (July 17), Lost Girls have returned with the surprisingly rocking single “Ruins.” At just under five minutes, it’s quite compact compared to most of Menneskekollektivet. Centered on a penetrating bass and crunchy power chords, the track does what Hval’s songs do best — gradually building momentum as synths begin to blossom around her towering voice, which ascends at an accelerating pace until she takes the whole affair stratospheric.

After improvising for a bit I realized that I was singing about this kind of pattern of movement, but as a band practice in the 90s, back when I first started playing with other people. If ‘Ruins’ is ‘about’ anything, it’s about a practice of discovery, being young and lost and feeling as if you are close to something ancient and magical.” Stream “Ruins” below, and scroll further for

Coi Leray has been accused of dissing fellow rapper Latto on an unreleased song after the latter mentioned her on the Billboard-charting hit ‘Put It On Da Floor’.The New Jersey star’s gripe with Latto started in April when the Clay County rapper previewed her then-unreleased pop–trap single ‘Put It On Da Floor’ at this year’s Coachella.In the second verse, Latto rapped, “Smoking on that gas blunt big as Coi Leray/ Bitches like to run they mouth, but I’m the type to run a fade.” This sent Coi Leray into a Twitter frenzy where she took offence to the lyrics’ implied body-shaming.Over the weekend, Coi Leray then posted a video of her dancing to the new rambunctious “rage” style song with the following lyrics: “Yeah, I’m on they ass / Hop up on that couch and roll a Latto out the bag / I don’t need a stylist, they don’t fuck with Coi Leray / Tried to count me out, but now I’m big as Trippie Redd.”A post shared by Coi (@coileray)The lyrics show Leray referring to Latto as a blunt too, as well as responding to old criticism of her using her ex-boyfriend Trippie Redd for clout in 2018 – a time when he was significantly more popular than her.Fans on Twitter called the ‘Good Day’ singer out, with one asking her, “Why you diss Latto?”.Why you diss latto?— Alisha Washington

The end is looming! Fuck what they told ya!”Check out the official lyric video for ‘The Looming’ below.Speaking to NME earlier this year, Neil said that ESB were “going for extremity at all costs” while embarking on what he described as a “hideously horrific musical journey”.“Because we play together in Biffy, there’s no point in us doing another project that doesn’t feel miles apart,” he explained.
