M. Vaughan announces his return with ‘Tire Swing’, the gorgeous lead single from June 14th’s Keep in Touch EP. The single offers the first taste of a record that sees the acclaimed Portugal-via-New York producer moving away from the club and towards the emotional indie rock of his roots with a sound for fans of Mount Kimbie and Blood Orange.

 M. Vaughan grew up playing in indie rock bands before spending a decade crafting electronic music, with his productions on labels like Freerange, Monologues, and his own Super Tuff imprint earning praise from top publications and DJs alike. ‘Tire Swing’ was written during his time in Berlin. Welling up from feelings of disconnection, its soaring vocals, glistening piano, and rhythmic intensity hint at a new sense of excitement and musical self-discovery.

The city of Townsville…

After years of touring and recording sessions all over the US and Mexico, the Miami-based Las Nubes return with ‘Tormentas Malsanas,’ a multilingual sonic explosion of garage pop, shoegaze, dream pop, and punk. The album’s lead single was released by the Thurston Moore-owned Ecstatic Peace / Daydream Library label, and their past work has been praised by Brooklyn Vegan, NPR: Alt.Latino, Rolling Stone, IDIOTEQ, BBC 6 Music and Talkhouse, as well as Iggy Pop, who even penned the album cover’s hype quote.

The haunting and raucous “Would Be” single is out today, a song inspired by a rumored live-action Powerpuff Girls series and based on the idea of an aging ex-superhero.

Las Nubes return on June 14 with Tormentas Malsanas, their first LP since 2019’s SMVT. Formed by Miami DIY music mainstays Ale Campos and Emile Milgrim, their fuzzy, bilingual, ‘90s-influenced punk rock meets dream pop sound has received significant acclaim and earned them opportunities to play all across the US and Mexico with the likes of Shannon and the Clams, Jens Lekman, The Coathangers, Sheer Mag, Mark Sultan, Torche, and Alice Bag. They even backed Iggy Pop as his first ever all-female incarnation of The Stooges (as captured on the ‘Live Nubes’ collection).
