🖤🕯️RIP Catherine Ringer🕯️🖤

Heartbroken to learn of the passing of French singer + fashion icon Catherine Ringer, vocalist from the band Les Rita Mitsouko. Along with partner Fred Chichin the band had me on the 80d dance floor with their quirky song Marcia Baila ... and their album The No Comprendo was in constant rotation at home ... 💐

She was 68. Chichin passed in 2007

Some return as dreams.
And some...
never truly come home.

They say you don't need an umbrella

But no one ever taught us
how to take shelter from memories.

Album Recommendations – July 2026

I’ve given up on trying to regularly write reviews of new albums, but I still want to share albums I enjoyed.  Below are several new (and new-ish) albums – no ratings, no criticism – just music I enjoy listening to and hope you will to.

Album: Wendy Eisenberg
Artist: Wendy Eisenberg
Genre: Folk Rock, Country Pop
Release Date: April 3, 2026
Label: Joyful Noise
Favorite Tracks:

• Take a Number
• Meaning Business
• Old Myth Dying
• Vanity Paradox
• The Walls

An avant-guarde approach to folk music combined with introspection and a sense of hopefulness shape this album by the Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter.

Album: Nine Inch Noize
Artist: Nine Inch Nails, Boys Noize
Genre: Industrial Techno
Release Date: April 17, 2026
Label: The Null Corporation, Interscope
Favorite Tracks:

• Heresy
• Parasite
• Came Back Haunted
• As Alive As You Need Me to Be

Nine Inch Nails (Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross) and Boys Noize (Alexander Ridha) collaborate on this compilation of live and remixed tracks from the Nine Inch Nails catalog. While I initially thought it was a mashup of boy bands with industrial techno, it’s still pretty cool if not legendary.

Album: Gongbu
Artist: Balming Tiger
Genre: Alternative K-Pop
Release Date: May 19, 2026
Label: Awal Recordings
Favorite Tracks:

• Janjan
• Home
• It’s the Night

Balming Tiger is classified as K-Pop which is kind of absurd, since K-Pop is a whole music industry not a genre. And as an experimental music collective, Balming Tiger doesn’t even fit a genre.

Album: Ultra
Artist: Six Sex
Genre: Perreo, Electroclash
Release Date: June 6, 2026
Label: Dale Play
Favorite Tracks:

• LOVE ME HATE ME
• CALIENTE
• BEAUTY privilege
• no more porn

Argentine Francisca Cuello electronic dance project Six Sex is kind of like if someone crossed reggaeton with Charli XCX.

Album: Olivia Rodrigo
Artist: you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love
Genre: Indie Rock, Dream Pop
Release Date: June 12, 2026
Label: Geffen
Favorite Tracks:

• drop dead
• stupid song
• maggots for brains
• the cure
• what’s wrong with me
• expectations

Olivia Rodrigo was born in 2003 but is keeping the sounds of the 80s & 90s alive with her mix of synthpop, power pop, pop punk, and thoughtfully-worded ballads.  She even features a guest appearance by Robert Smith of the Cure!

Album: Floyd Mercantile
Artist: Peter Mulvey & Jenna Nicholls 
Genre: Folk, Singer/Songwriter
Release Date: June 12, 2026
Label: Righteous Babe Records
Favorite Tracks:

• Some People
• Dreamers Awake
• Butterfly Kisses

Floyd Mercantile is the name of a store in rural Virginia where singer songwriters Peter Mulvey and Jenna Nicholls, and guitarist Ross Bellenoit recorded this album.  It includes original works by Mulvey (whom I’ve been following for a long time) and Nicholls (who is new to me but has a lovely voice) and classic pop songs from the Great American Songbook, all in a folk/jazz style.

Album: Public Luxury
Artist: Downtown Boys
Genre:  Punk Rock
Release Date: June 26. 2026
Label: Sup Pop
Favorite Tracks:

• No Me Jodas
• The City Begins
• Yellow Sun
• You’re A Ghost
• Public Works

The socialist punk rock band from Providence, RI return with their first album since 2017’s Cost of Living.

Can't stop posting about Amie McNee's work 😅❤️

Sette dischi di musica, tra Krautrock e elettronica, buttiamo un occhio ai rilasci di aprile. Mentre alcuni titoli brillano per originalità e intensità, altri si rivelano blandi e privi di appeal, quasi come un peso da sopportare.

😍 Me ha encantado el vídeo de este grupo de Sevilla que aúna precariedad laboral, gentrificaciones, franquiciamientos, hipocresías y falacias neoliberales varias.

My label ROTFG was interviewed by Lithuanian label APPORT! On their site along with a mix of our music output of later years. It's a pretty good intro to what we do if you want to dive into that. #industrialmusic #noisemusic #rap #weirdrap #alternativemusic #rotfg https://apport.church/an-interview-with-rotfg/

Here’s one of my favourite bands, Vision Video. You might know #GothDad from various social media. He’s genuinely that sweet in person, and a brilliant songwriter, singer, musician, and entertainer. #VisionVideo’s music reminds me (in the best way) of the bands I fell in love with as an #AlternativeMusic fanatic in the ‘80s. #Goth #MusicVideo #GothMusic #SongOfTheDay
