35 New Songs Out Today

So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we’d call “indie,” and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here’s a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.

KIM GORDON & MODEL HOME – “RAZZAMATAZZ”

Kim Gordon follows this year’s great The Collective and standalone single “ECRP” with another new song, “Razzamatazz.” It’s a collaboration with DC experimental hip hop duo Model Home, it also features Kim’s The Collective collaborator Justin Raisen, and it offers up more of the dark, industrial, hip hop-leaning vibes of her new album.

THE MENZINGERS – “SECOND CITY”

The Menzingers have shared a new song that they wrote for their former label Red Scare Industries’ upcoming 20th anniversary comp. Greg Barnett tells Kerrang, “We spent a lot of time in Chicago during the formative years of the band, so when asked to contribute a song for Red Scare’s 20th anniversary, it felt right to pay homage to that era. ‘Second City’ is about a time and place that feels impossible to recreate now, and maybe that’s why I hold it so close to my heart. Chicago has been like a second home, so it felt pretty natural to write about.”

Blur’s Graham Coxon and former Pipette Rose Elinor Dougall will release their second album as The WAEVE on September 20 and here’s a new single from it. “Broken Boys” owes a little to early-’80s noisy post-punk.

KATE BOLLINGER – “SWEET DEVIL” & “LONELY”

Kate Bollinger is back with not one but two more songs from her upcoming album Songs From A Thousand Frames Of Mind which will also be released as a double-A-side 7″. “My friend Matt (Matthew E. White) and I began getting together and writing songs every couple of weeks or so, back when I lived in Virginia. On October 2nd of 2020, we met up for the first time on the tiny basketball court outside his studio with a keyboard and a vocal mic going through an amp, and wrote one of many since-abandoned songs. ‘Sweet Devil’ and ‘Lonely’ are two of our surviving collaborations,” Bollinger says.

JENNIFER CASTLE – “LUCKY #8”

Jennifer Castle says that new single “Lucky #8” has “that energetic vibe to it, where it attempts a stunt lyrically (in my mind) to absorb all the possibilities of life into one moment and to be okay with that complexity, instead of fracturing off into myriad neurotic narratives.” New album Camelot will be out November 1 via Paradise of Bachelors.

LITTLE BIT – “ON THE MEND”

“The lyric ‘I hope I catch you on the mend’ is a sort of mantra I used at the time to help myself learn to softly let go,” Hannah Liuzzo says of her new single as litle bit, “on the mend.” “My instinct if someone hurt me used to be to default to anger or resentment, but as I’ve evolved and cultivated better access to my own feelings, I learned it’s better to wish people well instead of holding negative feelings. That state of mind is idealistic, though, so there’s still a tinge of side-eye in on the mend. Sometimes wishing someone well is a performance to help yourself heal, sometimes it’s a performance to save face while you’re scheming on the inside.” It’s from little bit’s debut EP, talk a blue streak.

MILITARY GENIUS (CRACK CLOUD) – “DARKEST HOUR”

Songwriter, producer and Crack Cloud member Bryce Cloghesy has announced his new album as Military Genius, titled Scarred for Life and out November 1 via Unheard of Hope. Here’s the lead single. “’Darkest Hour’ encapsulates the feeling of being swept away by time, into an endless night,” says Cloghesy. “There is a certain melancholy in leaving the past behind, dwelling on simpler, antiquated ways of life as we are pushed forward. This message is poignant on a personal level–becoming a father has led me to contemplate my own childhood, witnessing a purity of emotion prior to self-awareness. This applies to a broader collective consciousness too, as the march of progress fundamentally alters our shared experience. It’s all about embracing the journey, stepping beyond the point of no return, and facing the future.”

SARAH NEUFELD / RICHARD REED PARRY / REBECCA FOON – “SLOW NEW YEAR”

First Sounds, the new album from the trio of cellist Rebecca Foon, violin player Sarah Neufeld, and multi-instrumentalist Richard Reed Parry, is out in November, and they’ve shared another new single, “Slow New Year.” “This piece was what originally spurred this album into being,” Parry says, “a bass fiddle tune that sounded far too lonely sounding for it to be played alone. I picked up the phone and proposed we make an album. We recorded this piece in one or two takes with very little discussion beforehand.”

TASHA – “LOVE’S CHANGING”

The jazzy “Love’s Changing” is the latest single off Tasha’s new album All This and So Much More, which comes out next month. “‘Love’s Changing’ is the last song I finished writing for the album and feels like its perfect final note,” she says. “While the album is in some ways about loss, it’s also about all of the beauty discovered on the other side of loss, and this song encapsulates that warmth and optimism. I wanted both the instrumentation and the video paired with this song to reflect the breeziness and ease that can come when one surrenders to the love around them. The memory of pain never quite leaves us, and in fact often sneaks up when we least expect it (as heard in the song), but there’s always wonder and joy to be found that brings us back to ourselves.”

PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING – “THE FUN OF IT” (FEAT. ANDREYA CASABLANCA)

Amelia Earhart is the subject of Public Service Broadcasting’s upcoming album The Last Flight and its new single features German artist Andreya Casablanca. “I can’t think of anyone better than Andreya to add the kind of spirit, bounce and just pure melody that this song called for,” says PSB’s J. Willgoose, Esq. “She’s a wonderful foil for Amelia’s determination, her bravery and her honesty. “I do it because I want to – isn’t that a good enough reason?” The song is an attempt to sum up that kind of attitude in musical form.”

And Jake totally commands the full need for dynamics and a passionate delivery. At last, I got to play and record this song!!!”
