18 New Songs Out Today

So many artists, 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. In these concertless times, that includes daily livestreams and live concert videos we love. 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.

JUICY J – “LOAD IT UP” (ft. NLE CHOPPA)

Juicy J follows “Gah Damn High” with his second single off The Hustle Continues, and it’s a classic Juicy J style banger (not a bad thing at all). The album has also been pushed back to November 27 via eOne.

FRED AGAIN – “JESSIE (I MISS YOU)” (ft. JESSIE REYEZ)

UK producer Fred Again has stayed busy this year with his new Actual Life project, producing all of Headie One’s GANG, and co-producing Romy of The xx’s debut single, and now he dropped a new solo single built around a sample of a voice memo from Jessie Reyez. It’s an appealing dose of minimal and atmospheric yet thumping pop.

AUÐN – “VERÐUR VON AÐ BRÁД

Icelandic black metallers AUÐN have shared another track off their upcoming album Vökudraumsins fangi (due 10/30 via Season of Mist), and to give you an idea of what to expect from this one, the band says “In these premieres, we wanted to showcase as many different elements as possible. This song in some ways treads uncharted territory for us as we welcome the more catchy, driven aspects of heavy music into our world of melancholy and grief ridden soundscapes.”

THE USAISAMONSTER – “PERMACULTURE’S PROMISE”

Brooklyn experimentalists The Usaisamonster will release new album Amikwag, their first in a decade, on October 30. They’ve just shared the album’s opening song. “The opening music for this track was written on a trip to visit friends in Los Angeles in February 2017,” says the band’s Tom Hohmann. “It rained hard and long and water poured through the tiled roof of the Los Feliz AirBnB, and down the hills in streams, filling the LA river. Outside was a sweet smelling botanical garden in full bloom. Months earlier, friends had gone to the Standing Rock Reservation in the Dakotas to support the Lakota Nation in their efforts to stop the construction of an oil pipeline through their tribal lands. As a working parent with two young children in school, I had to stay home.“
