‘Instant' Karma: Stereolab Are Back With New Album
Following their 2019 live reunion after a 10-year break, Stereolab finally have new music to share. The beloved U.K. group will release Instant Holograms on Metal Film on May 23 through Duophonic/Warp, with first single 'Aerial Troubles' out now in tandem with a Laurent Askienazy-directed video.
That song was sent as a surprise seven-inch vinyl single to fans last week in tandem with a word search loaded with details about Instant Holograms. The album is Stereolab's first of all-new material since 2008's Chemical Chords, although a second project featuring songs from those sessions, Not Music, was released in 2010.

Having been off the road since November 2023, Stereolab will be back in action starting May 24 in Dover, England, and will be in Europe through July 11 in Cagliari, Italy. A North American leg gets underway Sept. 13 in Nashville and runs through Nov. 2 in Dallas. Shows in Latin America and the U.K. will round out the year.

Sean Penn Reacts (30 Years Later) to Madonna Calling Him the Love of Her Life
In her 1991 documentary Truth or Dare, Madonna declared that Sean Penn was the love of her life. And more than three decades later, the actor is sharing his thoughts on it. In an interview on The Louis Theroux Podcast posted Monday (May 12), Penn said that his superstar ex-wife was 'very sweet' for her remarks in the Alek Keshishian-directed doc when asked whether he recalled what she'd said. 'I do,' he told Theroux. 'Look, she's been a good friend for a lot of years.'

After their divorce in 1989, the exes stayed friends. 'It didn't take us long to realize that we had mistaken a good first date for a wedding partner,' Penn said. 'It didn't take us long to recover after we got divorced, maybe a year, in a friendship. I have a lot of fond memories of it – it's not all jail.' The actor added: 'But there was a lot of alcohol and she'd be fairly accusing me of that.' Following her split from Penn, the 'Material Girl' singer would go on to marry Guy Ritchie in 2000 before they separated in 2008. Penn was married to Robin Wright from 1996 to 2010, followed by Leila George from 2020 to 2022. Penn's thoughts on the Truth or Dare documentary come just after a report that a long-awaited biopic about Madonna's life is finally in the works. According to Deadline, the star has teamed up with Shawn Levy for a Netflix limited series about her life and career. Madge is also currently working on new music with producer Stuart Price, who worked on her Billboard 200-topping 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor. It's been about six years since the 'Vogue' singer last dropped a proper album, releasing Madame X in 2019.

Hand Habits Announces New Album and Tour, Shares Video for New Song 'Wheel of Change': Watch
All products featured on Pitchfork are independently selected by Pitchfork editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, Condé Nast may earn an affiliate commission. Hand Habits' Meg Duffy, photo by Bronwyn Ford Hand Habits has announced a new album. Blue Reminder, Meg Duffy's proper follow-up to 2021's Fun House, is out August 22 via Fat Possum. The record was recorded and co-produced by Joseph Lorge, and features contributions from Gregory Uhlmann, Blake Mills, Daniel Aged, and SML's Josh Johnson and Anna Butterss. Watch the Otium-directed music video for lead single 'Wheel of Change' below. 'Both lyrically and in its production, this song is about the impossibility of return—you can't go back to the way things were, no matter how much you might want to hold on to a time, or a feeling, or a person,' Duffy said of 'Wheel of Change' in a press statement. 'In longing, there can be this sharper, wild edge. Like, no I need this, give it to me, don't take it away.' In 2023, Duffy shared the Hand Habits EP Sugar the Bruise and teamed up with Uhlmann as Duffy x Uhlmann to put out the instrumental Doubles. The singer and guitarist recently collaborated with the National's Matt Berninger on a song from his new solo LP, Get Sunk. Duffy will head out on tour later this year. They have shows in support of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Japanese Breakfast, and Perfume Genius.
