April cover star SOFIA ISELLA has never been interested in making you comfortable.⁠

Across four self-released EPs, she has built a world of sharp lyricism, eerie intimacy, and brutal honesty — the kind that holds a mirror a little too close. With her new EP, Something is a shell ., she leans even further in: darker, rawer, and fully exposed.⁠

WATER FROM YOUR EYES for AP MARCH ‘26

For a decade, @hellothisisnate and @heretonetwork have been making puzzling, deadpan pop that warps all sense of the genre’s definition.It nods to New Order and nu metal, Charli XCX and classic bluegrass — with one constant: track by track, @waterfromyoureyes asks the unanswerable question, “What is the meaning of life?”

In a few weeks, they hit the road with @yelyahwilliams on her highly anticipated solo tour. The path here has been anything but linear — back in Chicago, they began the project as a couple, and over the course of four albums and three EPs, they wound up as friends and collaborators who, alongside peers like @geesebandnyc, @fantasyofabrokenHeart, @modelacrtiz and more, have become key players in NYC’s mushrooming indie music scene.

🔗 Read the cover story and listen to their full interview on AP’s In Session podcast.

HAYLEY WILLIAMS: ARTIST OF THE YEAR

This year, @yelyahwilliams has held tragedy in one hand, and triumph in the other. Rather than recede, she danced onstage with Deftones, Turnstile, and sat on the roof of the American Football House. She has purged anger and pain into a spectacular solo album. Surrounded by friends, and loving fans, the story she’s begun telling isn’t about Paramore’s frontwoman anymore. It’s just about Hayley—someone she’s still getting to know.

Sitting down with AltPress editor Anna Zanes, Hayley digs deeper into what led up to Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, from brutal emotions to having a spiritual experience at a concert.

It seems like a new Phoebe Bridgers era is almost upon us. She'll play her first show in 3 years on Friday (5/8) at the Liberty in Roswell, New Mexico. No cameras or phones will be allowed inside.

Phoebe's last solo album was 2020's 'Punisher.' Hopefully this means we'll learn more about its follow up soon.

Everything about LP4 is expansive, from Kinsella’s vocals — smoother, broader, more Ben Gibbard-like than ever before — to multi-generational features from @whirrwhoreforlyfe, @turnstileluvconnection’s Brendan Yates, and @rainermariamusic’s @caithlindemarrais. It’s layered, ambitious, and intentional on all fronts. 🔗 in bio⁠

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
