This Week’s New River Music
Artist: Death Cab for Cutie
Song: Riptides
Ahead of Death Cab for Cutie’s forthcoming album, I Built You a Tower, comes a single that embodies the signature indie-rock sound we’ve come to know from the group over the last nearly three decades. This one manages to feel both intimate and expansive, like being pulled under by competing emotional currents. Lead singer Ben Gibbard described it as capturing the “paralyzing” feeling of personal loss colliding with large-scale tragedy.
Artist: beabadoobee (feat. The Marías)
Song: All I Did Was Dream of You
In her first release since 2024’s LP This is How Tomorrow Moves, English singer-songwriter beabadoobee calls on The Marías for guest vocals. “All I Did Was Dream of You” is a hazy, haunting blend of dream pop and grunge, built on soft verses that swell into heavier, distorted choruses. It captures the feeling of being consumed by thoughts about someone (hence, the title) and balancing romance with obsession. Fun fact: the music video was inspired by Yorgos Lanthimos’s latest film, Bugonia.
Artist: Muse
Song: Be With You
Theatrical and electrifying as ever, Muse return with the first single of off their forthcoming album, The WOW! Signal. “Be With You” achieves an absolutely epic feel, carried by soaring synths and astronomical imagery. But the underlying message is quite vulnerable and intimate: it frames love (with one person in particular) as a necessity for survival in the face of world-ending chaos.
