11 New Songs Out Today

So many artists, so little time. Each week we review five 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, show recaps, track premieres, and more all day. That includes a lot of tour announcements, a list of tonight’s NYC shows, and NY shows that just went on sale. We publish a monthly playlist of some of our favorite tracks. Here’s a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place…

CHROMATICS – “PETALS” (HOLE COVER)

This cover of Hole’s “Petals” was featuring the final scene of film The Perfection, probably won’t surprise you — Chromatics turn the Celebrity Skin cut into something that sounds like they could’ve written it. But in that respect, it’s quite nice. But we’re still waiting on Dear Tommy.

TUNNG – “BANK HOLIDAY”

UK band Tuung, who reunited with Sam Genders for last year’s very good Songs You Make at Night, are putting out a collection of outtakes and b-sides titled This Is Tunng…Magpie Bites and Other Cuts on June 28 via Full Time Hobby. Appropriately enough, given the just-past Memorial Day Weekend, they’ve just shared “Bank Holiday” from the record. The band say it’s “a song about a guy who is supposed to be spending a nice day with his girlfriend on her birthday, which happens to fall on a bank holiday. It starts badly when he tries to make her breakfast in bed but he burns the toast and it goes downhill from there.”

Maximo Park guitarist Duncan Lloyd will be back with his third solo album, Outside Notion, on June 7 via Afternoon In Bed Records. As with 2017’s I O U O M E, Lloyd’s own work is a little more introspective, and on this album he cites the orchestral sounds of Scott Walk and Eric Matthews as influences, which are pretty apparent on this single.
