16 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.

PETE ASTOR – “MODEL VILLAGE”
Former The Loft and Weather Prophets frontman Pete Astor has announced new album Tall Stories & New Religions which is out March 15 via Tapete. “I remember being 11 and one of my main pastimes was the hours and hours that I spent making plastic models,” says of the album’s first single. “I clearly remember, as well being obsessed with finding the correct German camouflage for a Panzer IV, also coming under the spell of music – Slade and others (but mainly Slade) were starting to fill up my head. My concern then was ‘which way will this go? Will it be music or military modelling?’. Not long after, the answer was very clear. That was the way it goes with the teenage years of course – things moved very fast. Anyway, maybe a comfortable world being built in miniature was coming back to me with Model Village.”

LOOSE BUTTONS – “I SAW JON HAMM AT THE BEACH”
Says Loose Buttons frontman Eric Nizgretsky of this song (which you can figure out what it’s about): “It was one of those idyllic beach days — the sky blue, the air just right. And then, out of the corner of my eye, the man himself Jon Hamm. There he was, a perfect “symbol of the ideal man” who, in reality, was just simply another beachgoer, casually playing kadima and sharing the day with his loved ones. As a huge fan of his work, seeing him out there, just being a regular dude, felt wonderfully refreshing. The whole experience debunked the ‘leading man’ facade I’ve often attributed to him. So, if you ever get the chance, I highly recommend seeing Jon Hamm at the beach— it’s a life changing experience.”

SUPERCHUNK – “EVERYBODY DIES”
“Something that seems different recently is that we aren’t just losing legends from older generations—Pharoah Sanders or Toots Hibbert or Kidd Jordan or Tina Turner—but musicians we think of as peers and friends; people we have toured with and recorded with and shared beers with all over the world,” says Mac McCaughan of Superchunk’s new single. “It means of course we’re getting older, and while we know from an early age that yes, everybody dies, it doesn’t make these departures any less shocking.”
