Charli XCX is back with a new song “SS26.” It arrives alongside a visual from “Von Dutch” director Torso, which places Charli in the glamorous chaos of a major fashion show. She rocks a variety of looks on and off the runway and even recovers from a catwalk stumble straight out of Sex and the City—and that’s all before her dressing room explodes. Watch it below.

Charli first teased the new song in a Substack post Monday, posting a text that appeared to be either song lyrics or a fashion-capsule manifesto. “Think my politics could work as a press strategy,” she wrote, “And my heritage could give me quite the USP/Can’t hide the fact I’d rather take the easy road.” Turns out they were the former, riffing on celebrity and world affairs via “a runway that goes straight to hell.” The video continues the theme, set on a runway that “goes straight to hell” during a couture season that just might coincide with “when the world is gonna end.” It opens with a guest appearance from former Vogue Paris editor-in-chief Carine Rotfield, who remarks from the front row: “Fashion won’t save us. But let’s go on the runway and walk.” The singer Abra also makes a cameo.

“SS26” follows “Rock Music,” her first standalone single since the Brat campaign, followed a few days later by a loosie called “I Keep On Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night” that was exclusive to vinyl and her Instagram page. Her companion album to Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights came out in mid February.

The Avalanches have returned with their first new single in six years. “Together” features Nikki Nair, Jessy Lanza, and Prentiss, an 18-year-old artist and producer based in Jackson, Missouri. An anthropomorphic iPod and floppy disk are the stars of the song’s accompanying visualizer, which was directed and animated by frequent collaborator Jonathan Zawada. Check it out below.

Though they’ve made no official announcement to date, the Avalanches have been teasing their fourth studio album since the fall, when they posted an Instagram story of a stack of hard drives with the caption “LP #4.” More recently, the Australian trio launched a website for a fake company called Takumi, whose mascot is a purple cartoon cat that wears a witch hat and flies on a broomstick.

“At Takumi, we understand that digital archives are more than data repositories – they are institutional memory, intellectual property, and cultural heritage,” reads the “mission statement” on takumiarchives.com. “Our platform combines enterprise-grade security, scalable infrastructure, and intelligent indexing to deliver a secure, future-ready foundation for digital preservation.”

The last Avalanches album to date, We Will Always Love You, came out in 2020. That record’s expansive guest list brought together Blood Orange, Karen O, MGMT, Vashti Bunyan, and Rivers Cuomo, among others. Since its release, the Avalanches reissued their Y2K classic Since I Left You for its 20th anniversary, dropped an MF Doom remix of that album’s “Tonight May Have to Last Me All My Life,” and released collaborations with Jamie xx and the late Cola Boyy.
