A couple of months ago the band Extra Texture released a streaming-only single on Soundcloud. I imported the single into MB some time after that.  
[https://musicbrainz.org/release/f77d2474-da09-4df7-abdd-26040ab21c33](https://musicbrainz.org/release/f77d2474-da09-4df7-abdd-26040ab21c33)  
Just over a week ago (July 12) the band changed their name to The Dives and all of their social media URLs changed along with it. The original single is still up ([albeit under the new account name, with the same timestamp](https://soundcloud.com/thedivesmusic/take-it-all)) but the group’s name and the cover art have changed. Should I create a new release or just edit the old one?

Done and done (same release group, same recording, new release).

Nice one! The only change I would make is to change the release date to when they ‘edited’ the release.  
As that release didn’t exist in that format any earlier (with those credits and that cover)
