Segarra’s statement regarding Live Forever follows:

“I moved to Chicago in September 2024, the year I released The Past Is Still Alive and hit the road with a new band – a group of musicians recommended by my front of house/production manager, Johnny Wilson. Everyone had ties to the city, and had been playing together in the DIY scene for over a decade.

“Since then, we’ve traveled the world together, becoming family, playing the best shows of my life. Chicago has become home for me, and I feel grateful for the welcome I’ve gotten into the best music scene in the country.

“I wanted to capture this time and this brilliant band, a moment that won’t last forever. This record is a love letter to the working-class musicians out there, we who slug it out on the road against all odds. We deserve so much more from an industry built to exploit us. It’s a thank you to all the fans supporting live music, you who believe songs made by human beings are a vital life force.

“Thank you.”

Columbian psyche-rock trio BALTHVS released a hybrid studio/live album, Transmutations, through Cubensis Records. The nine songs on the album were originally captured live during their late 2025 European Tour. The tracks were enhanced in the studio during sessions held in San Diego and Bogota, Colombia. Bandleader/guitarist Balthazar Aguirre produced Transmutations, which sees him joined by bandmates Johanna Mercuriana on bass and Santiago Lizcano on drums. In a statement, BALTHVS detailed making the album:

“We ‘transmuted’ the live concert into a studio album, we had no restrictions with the material, we re-recorded multiple elements in order to ensure pristine studio quality while preserving the energy of the live experience, and ‘alchemized’ the songs.”

Current Atlanta-based singer-songwriter Son Little issued a new studio album, Cityfolk, today via ANTI- Records. Little recorded the 11-track LP in Muscle Shoals, Alabama in January 2025 with Alabama Shakes’ Ben Tanner.

“The industry likes to keep artists in little boxes, and for Black artists it has meant being defined by your proximity to ‘urban,’” Little said. “But my music has always had had flashes of country, rock and folk, as well as hip-hop, blues and R&B. So I’ve always struggled as an artist who kind of, I think, lives in the spaces between genres.”

Ladytron released a new album entitled Paradises through Nettwerk, the label that issued their 2011 album Gravity the Seducer and 2008’s Velocifero. Helen Marnie, Daniel Hunt and Mia Arroyo wrote and recorded Paradises over five months in late 2023, completing the 16-song collection in early 2025. Produced by Hunt, the new album was recorded during sessions held in Liverpool, São Paulo, Montrose, Dalston and London.

“When I heard the demos for Paradises, I was truly blown away. The variety in songwriting and arrangements reminded me of [2005’s] Witching Hour, but with its own unique atmosphere, sonics, and attitude.” Marnie revealed. “It was like a homecoming. We just fit. His enthusiasm is contagious, and having that in the room really creates a kind of magic.”

Is This All There Is? is a four-song EP shared today by Anna Calvi. The record completes a trilogy and comes on the heels of Calvi scoring the final two seasons of the dramatic series Peaky Blinders.

“They share a kind of subversive honesty,” Calvi stated. “They’re not trying to please anyone. They express exactly who they are.”
