12 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.

VUNDABAR – “SPADES”

Vundabar have signed to Loma Vista and announced their first album for the label, Surgery and Pleasure, due out on March 7. They’ve also shared a new single, post-punk track “Spades.” “Something universally accepted as normal, a game of cards, takes on a more dire edge and becomes paranoia ridden as the stakes of the game become evident,” vocalist and guitarist Brandon Hagen says. “We carry on playing in a state of semi-denial as the air grows thinner. Reality becomes ever more tenuous and it’s unclear if a spade is a card or a shovel, unclear whether we should be dealing a hand or digging a hole.”

BASIA BULAT – “DISCO POLO”

Basia Bulat’s new album Basia’s Palace arrives next month, and she’s given us another early taste with “Disco Polo.” “This is an homage to what I feel like is the two sides of my musical lineage–my mother was a classically trained piano and guitar teacher, and my father’s favourite genre was Disco Polo,” she says. “About the only thing we could all agree on was the oldies radio station that was the peacemaker of our home when I was a child. I wanted to write something that felt like a folk tale about those genres and how they still influence me after all this time–even now every time I sit down at the piano all those different musical worlds swirl around each other and try to dance together in my mind.”
