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.

HOLY WAVE - "COWPRINT"
"This song is partly about a trip to Iowa to help a friend move," says Holy Wave's Ryan Fuson of the band's very dreamy new song. "The first night I was there, I ended up meeting my partner, and this is about leaving after that first trip where I met her. I was thinking about our relationship and the things we use to help us feel better when we are down or the things that can give us strength when we need a little more to stay positive. I decided to write it in a kind of letter to her. It just made it feel a little more personal for me.”

KAITLYN AURELIA SMITH - "CLEAR SKY"

HEATHER WOODS BRODERICK - "WHEREVER I GO"
"The video for ‘Wherever I Go’ is about the juxtaposition of having some fun, and letting go against the repetitive nature of daily life," Heather Woods Broderick says of her new single. "The song has both a lot of irony and energy in it, and we wanted to reflect this visually. The duality in the lyrics is paralleled inside the day that takes place in the video. The repetitions in daily life are playfully represented in the suburban scenes decorated by glitchy/GIF companions, and the wide open landscape shots reflect the free, pure joy that exists inside each day if you go find it." It's from her new album Labyrinth, out on Friday.

PYNCH - "TIN FOIL"
"When we play live I always jokingly introduce 'Tin Foil' as being about conspiracy theories but really, I think it’s about how complex and overwhelming the modern world can be," says Pynch's "Tin Foil," adding, "It feels like we’ve been in one form of crisis or another for my entire adult life and this song is about our over-exposure to that level of stimulation and the need to escape it all and 'get lost forever. It's definitely one of our most upbeat and irreverent song so it feels right to be releasing it at the beginning of spring and just before the album comes out." Pynch's new album is out April 14.
