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.

PULP – “GOT TO HAVE LOVE”

Pulp’s first album in 24 years is out in just two weeks and they’ve now shared a second single from it. Fans of the band’s disco side, and Jarvis Cocker’s fondness for spelling, will dig this one. Jarvis also directed the video which makes great use of footage from legendary ’70s Northern Soul club the Wigan Casino. “Wouldn’t you like to be able to dance like this,” Jarvis asks via the video’s titles. “Guess what? You can.”

Rising UK shoegazers deary are back with a new 7″ single on June 27 featuring this new original and a cover of Sade’s “No Ordinary Love” on the flipside. “We wanted to capture the purity of wanting to see someone again, hoping they appear around the corner, or in your local park or pub, without any form of doubt that creeps into one’s mind as we grow older,” says singer Dottie. “We enjoyed exploring and challenging ourselves to achieve a softer and uplifting narrative – it’s possibly the most joyful thing we’ve ever written.”
