28 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.

CLIPSE – “SO BE IT”

WINTER – “MISERY” FT. HORSE JUMPER OF LOVE

Winter’s new album Adult Romantix is out in August, and she’s given us another preview with “Misery,” which features Dimitri Giannopoulos of Horse Jumper of Love. ““This song was written with my friend Alex Craig,” Samira Winter says. “At first, we imagined a fictional story about being in love with someone who was unavailable, leaning into the romanticization of indulging in a kind of sadness. However, during the recording process, the story of Elliott Smith’s love and tragic death came up, which in turn inspired the song title and the rest of the lyrics written by Dimitri. The song was originally written at a faster tempo, but we discovered that slowing it down on the tape machine created an interesting androgynous effect on my voice.”

THE DEARS – “BABE, WE’LL FIND A WAY”

“The music came down all at once, strings, guitar – melodies,” says The Dears’ Murray Lightburn of the band’s new single. “It was so strong and vivid. It pines for the breakthrough, we know it’s there! It’s so tangible. When that happens, inner strength takes over. There’s a motivation, a reason to get out of bed. You can feel the sun on your face and maybe a little later a smile will take over.”

In that process emerges my own character. It doesn’t always make sense but it makes sense to me.”
