It's April 1st and (no foolin') that means, somewhat improbably, Sub Pop made it through another year.
And hey, so did you!
Thank you for making noise!

“sunn O))) gave extreme focus and care to each step and aspect of the recording, each tone and level of saturation, each gain stage and speaker, each arrangement and harmonic. The Pacific Northwest forest is our guide."

sunn O))): Putting the (((SUB))) back into SUB POP

sunn O))) and Sub Pop kick off this exciting partnership with three towering monoliths of low-end drone, delivered just in time for the dark weight of winter, in the form of Eternity’s Pillars b/w Raise the Chalice & Reverential.

"Her thoughtful, intricately layered ballads on The Life You Save, grapple with codependency, addiction, responsibilities and limits, with how much anyone can help someone they cherish" @flockofdimes.bsky.social in the NY Times www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/a...

20 years of Constantines' Tournament of Hearts!
Laid to tape amid the ghosts and wreckage of Toronto’s east end as Jeff McMurrich cursed modern man’s technological alienation and Fat Bobby Matador wrestled the beasts, this is a record made for the chaos of days-> music.subpop.com/constantines...

5 years of METZ's Atlas Vending!
Change is inevitable if you’re lucky, says Alex Edkins. “Our goal is to remain in flux, to grow in a natural and gradual way. We’ve always been wary to not overthink the music we love but also not satisfied until we’ve accomplished something that pushes us forward.”

“Weird Nightmare is definitely the most catchy music I’ve ever made” - @weirdnightmare.bsky.social @readdork.com readdork.com/features/wei...

Weird Nightmare: Louder than your anxiety, catchier than your dreams - Dork

METZ are in the rear-view mirror, but Alex Edkins hasn’t stopped moving. As Weird Nightmare returns with new music, he’s finding joy in hooks, fuzz, film scores and the freedom to do things his way.

“‘Forever Elsewhere’ is the most optimistic song I’ve written to date. I wanted to send an unequivocal positive message into the world. The line ‘Love, it will come,’ summarizes the overall theme: if things feel hopeless and the world is bleak, don’t give up, keep pushing.
