22 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 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.

STEVE VON TILL – “CALLED FROM THE WIND”

MAN ON MAN – “STOHNER”

“We wrote ‘Stohne’’ as a way to shake off the dust of paranoia from the first stages of quarantine,” Roddy Bottum and his partner Joey Halman say of “Stohner,” the new single from MAN ON MAN’s upcoming self-titled debut LP. “We aimed to make something bold and performative, giving our listeners a world that’s familiar while showcasing new sounds and visuals. ‘Stohner’ is a reckoning; it’s an exit from isolation into togetherness. As we continue to tell the story of queer love and tenderness, it was important for us to showcase our affection in new and exciting ways. With our video, we answered the question we often ask ourselves as artists: How do we show people something they’ve never seen before?”
