3 New Albums Out This Week You Should Listen to Now: Huremic (Parannoul), clipping., and Courting
There’s so much good music out in the ether that sometimes it’s difficult to parse through all of it. Every week The Daily Music Report will do the hard work for you and highlight the best releases available on streaming services.
This week we’re highlighting new music from Huremic (Parannoul), clipping., and Courting.
Huremic (Parannoul) – Seeking Darkness
The elusive Korean musician behind Parannoul returns under a new alias, Huremic, with Seeking Darkness, a five-part odyssey of sprawling, hard-hitting shoegaze. Premiered on NTS radio and now available on Bandcamp, the album leans into darker, more aggressive territory, blending epic noise with relentless repetition. Incorporating virtual instruments from a Korean traditional music library, Seeking Darkness expands Parannoul’s sonic universe while maintaining the raw, emotional intensity that defines his work.
Standout Songs: ‘Seeking Darkness Pt. 1,’ ‘Seeking Darkness Pt. 3,’ ‘Seeking Darkness Pt. 4,’ and ‘Seeking Darkness Pt. 5.’

clipping. – Dead Channel Sky
On Dead Channel Sky, clipping. fuses hip-hop and cyberpunk into a mixtape-like collection that offers glimpses into an alternate present. Known for their conceptual storytelling, the trio—Daveed Diggs, William Hutson, and Jonathan Snipes—build extremely dense, cinematic soundscapes where rap’s golden age collides with electronic experimentation. Featuring collaborations with Aesop Rock, Cartel Madras, and Tia Nomore, the album reimagines a world where the sonic remnants of rave, trip-hop, and drum & bass remain alive. With intricate lyricism and layered production, Dead Channel Sky explores a future past, where hip-hop and cyberpunk exist as one culture.
Standout Songs: ‘Dominator,’ ‘Change the Channel,’ ‘Run It,’ ‘Keep Pushing,’ ‘Welcome Home Warrior (feat. Aesop Rock),’ and ‘Ask What Happened.’

Courting – Lust for Life, Or: ‘How to Thread the Needle and Come Out the Other Side to Tell the Story’
On Lust for Life, Or: ‘How to Thread the Needle and Come Out the Other Side to Tell the Story’, Courting embraces duality, crafting a direct yet experimental record where each track has a “twin,” reinterpreting motifs in contrasting styles. The Liverpool quartet balances their indie and pop instincts with bold sonic shifts—looping string melodies from orchestral to dance-punk, morphing drum samples from dubstep-inflected chaos to autotuned balladry. Frontman Sean Murphy O’Neill describes the album as aiming to “hit everyone in the face and leave,” delivering their most refined and adventurous work yet.
Standout Songs: ‘Pause at You,’ ‘Eleven Sent (This Time),’ and ‘After You.”
