Alex Calder – “Stuck Inside
Single, 8 April 2026
[spectral pop]
🇨🇦
In one sentence: I just heard the terrible news that Alex passed away in March—truly devastating. I don’t think anyone has written more about his music than I have (79 articles on Still in Rock). Here’s my interview with him: https://www.stillinrock.com/2013/01/interview-stillinrock-alex-calder/. Rest in peace.

Billiam – Open Comma Vault
LP, Buttercup Records, 14 April 2026
[garage pop]
🇦🇺
In one sentence: Billiam keeps delivering hits like your local baker serves fresh croissants every morning.

Fluffy Machine – Beach/Wave
LP, DMB Records, 22 March 2026
[slacker rock]
🇨🇭
In one sentence: What if slacker rock were making yet another comeback? That’s the (slightly mad) bet Fluffy Machine is making.
