Douglas McCarthy, the lead singer of Nitzer Ebb, passed away at the age of 58, leaving behind a legacy as a pioneer of electronic body music.

Midway through their ambitious 2021 debut, For the First Time, Black Country, New Road jokingly called themselves "the world's second-best Slint tribute act." Between frontman Isaac Wood's agitated sprechgesang and the group's queasy, off-center grooves, the self-inflicted burn made sense-and could have applied to a whole wave of nervy, British post-punk upstarts who talked more than they sang and attracted critical adoration around the turn of the decade.

Wet Leg's upcoming sophomore album, titled 'moisturizer,' is set for release on July 11th, promising post-punk charm with a fresh infusion of dance-punk.

In the right hands, homage is a launchpad-less about the past than the weird, oddly familiar thing it's growing into.
