Denver indie pop duo Cherokee Social has released “Maya,” a new single frontman Julian Navarro wrote in tribute to his late mother. Navarro, who is Cherokee, says the song reflects on “the full circle of somebody’s life,” built around layered vocal harmonies alongside guitarist Alex Creighton.

According to the band, the track was recorded in a single home-studio session using Ableton with one microphone, a guitar and a bass. Navarro produced the song and handled vocals and bass, with Vince Chiarito mixing and Tyler Lindgren mastering.

Cherokee Social formed when Navarro, previously based in Baltimore, relaunched his solo project as a duo with Creighton after moving to Denver. The pair say they sold out their first headlining Denver show in January 2024 and have since shared bills with Macy Gray and Fitz and the Tantrums. “Maya” arrives amid an ongoing North American tour that wraps with a hometown show at Denver’s Lost Lake on November 20.

Finnish turborock band Grillijono K.O. has released a new single, “Dildometsä” (“Dildo Forest”), along with an accompanying music video, ahead of its third studio album, Ei tällä elä… mutta kuolee nopeammin, due January 22, 2027.

According to the band, the song was inspired by a roadside rest stop near Vaasa, the group’s hometown, and uses satire to address homophobia in Finland. Singer and guitarist Lobo-Tommi said the track explores how homophobic attitudes historically pushed men into secrecy, referencing Finland’s classification of homosexuality as an illness until the 1970s.

The album will be the band’s follow-up to 2024’s Härmägeddon and 2021 debut Napalmia korville. Grillijono K.O. will support the release with a tour across Finland starting January 22 in Tampere and running through late May, with stops including Helsinki, Oulu and Jyväskylä. The band has previously opened for Therapy? in Finland.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah will release “Burned,” their seventh studio album and first in six years, on January 29, 2027, via the band’s own CYHSY label through Secretly Distribution. The announcement comes with the release of the lead single “Fever of the Mind,” which frontman Alec Ounsworth says set the thematic and sonic direction for the rest of the record.

Ounsworth wrote and produced the album at his home studio with longtime collaborator Nick Krill, with mixing by Dave and Mike Fridmann. The band says the songs trace a path from grief toward renewed hope while also engaging with themes of generational trauma.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah will support the album with a world tour, opening February 6 in Istanbul before dates across Europe and the UK. A North American headline leg begins April 5 in Washington, D.C., running through a May 15 show in Philadelphia. Tickets go on sale October 23.

Kids That Fly have released a new single, “Calm Down, Come Down,” inspired by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and its lingering effects on American life. The track precedes the band’s forthcoming album, slated for spring 2027 on Giant Music.

The band says the song, written during a session with producer Tommy English, came together after they decided to write lyrics addressing the JFK assassination amid news coverage of newly released classified files. The lyrics move from Dealey Plaza in 1963 to a present-day American street scene, with a chorus that imagines angels descending to address problems they may have had a hand in creating, according to the band.

Musically, the group cites The Killers and The Strokes as influences on the track, and says it marks the first time their lead singer has used a more operatic vocal approach. The accompanying music video was filmed in New Orleans. Formed at the University of Connecticut, Kids That Fly has grown into a touring alternative rock act signed to Giant Music.
