Static Dress Archives - Already Heard

Welcome to The Daily Drop, your roundup of the latest news from the rock, metal, punk, emo, hardcore, and alternative scenes. Today's round-up sees Mastodon return with their first new music following the passing of founder Brent Hinds. Death Cab For Cutie and Hammok share new tracks as both prepare to release new albums this Friday. Static Dress also announced their first headline tour in four years. There are also 11 new additions to the 'Newish Music' playlist, including the new track from Public Opinion. Here's everything you need to know from June 3rd 2026. Mastodon Return with 'Your Ghost Again' After a difficult 2025, which saw former bandmate Brent Hinds and drummer Brann Dailor's mother pass away, Mastodon have returned with a track called 'Your Ghost Again'. It sees Dailor trade vocals with bassist Troy Sanders as they pay tribute to their late friend and guitarist, Hinds. On the surface, it is a quintessential Mastodon track with thrilling drum work, soaring vocals, and a sonic assault through the guitar work of Bill Kelliher, as well as incoming guitarist Nick Johnston and keyboardist João Nogueira. It results in an equally crushing and poignant track that is understandably emotionally charged. "For me, 'Your Ghost Again' is about when you lose somebody that's close to you that you existed with for most of your life, or your whole life. It's those moments when you're in those familiar places that you've always been with that person, and then, after they're gone, you see them out of the corner of your eye, and it makes you sad because they're not there. When we were in the studio recording, I kept seeing Brent. I'd see him on my right holding the guitar because that's where he'd usually be. It's the same with my mom: I keep seeing her. And you get a little jolt of excitement because you think you're actually seeing them, but then you remember they're not here, and it takes you down a notch. So, it's these big relationships for me that became the subject matter of the song. I was just singing about what I was seeing, and I was seeing ghosts." Mastodon will be returning to the UK later this month for Download Festival. https://youtu.be/pQ65pizgD9I Death Cab For Cutie Share Final 'I Built You A Tower' Preview With just days to go before releasing 'I Built You A Tower', Death Cab For Cutie have treated fans to one last teaser. 'Stone Over Water' is described by the band as "a song about trying to convince everyone around you and most importantly, yourself, that you are okay when you definitely are not." 'I Built You A Tower' is released on June 5th via ANTI- Records. https://youtu.be/ysw_9u8vLBg Static Dress Announces First Headline Tour in Four Years After releasing their very impressive new album 'injury episode' last week, Static Dress have announced their first run of headline shows in four years.
