22 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.

HANNAH GEORGAS – “RIGHT LOVE”

“I recorded ‘Right Love’ at Long Pond with Aaron Dessner and Jon Low while we were working on songs off my album, All That Emotion,” Hannah Georgas says of her new single. “We decided not to include it on the album because it had a bit of a different feel. I thought it would be nice to release it in the summertime (feels kinda summer-y), and while I’ve been working away on new music. It was inspired by feelings that come up when you meet someone new that you have a connection with. It all feels exciting and fresh. You want to be in the moment and not get too wrapped up in things, but there’s a small part of you that wonders if it could be something more than a fling.”

DOLL SPIRIT VESSEL – “SOMETHING SMALL”

Doll Spirit Vessel’s debut album What Stays is out next month, and the latest single is “Something Small,” which bandleader and songwriter Kati Malison says “came about a couple of summers ago when I was doing a song-a-day project with some friends – the day before I wrote it I had really toiled over an old song shard, trying to make it something it wasn’t ever going to be. It felt similar to how trying to remember my past sometimes can feel, like I’m grasping for something I both know is there and know I won’t find. ‘Something Small’ is the answer and antidote to that frustration.”

RAPPORT – “CAN’T GET IT TO LAST”

Maddy Wilde, who used to play in Moon King and Born Ruffians, now leads Toronto’s Rappaport who just released their Floating Through The Wonderwave EP via Arbutus, as well as the video for “Can’t Get It To Last.” On the surface, this probably sounds like your average love song,” says Maddy. “But it’s really about friendships and growing apart. Close friendships take different shapes- for example, friends who do everything together but have never actually been vulnerable with one another. It’s like maintaining a light and fluffy connection that has never really progressed further than a casual relationship. Friendships like this can go on for ages, and they are valuable, but they don’t seem to last as long.”

ORBITAL – “HALCYON” (JON HOPKINS REMIX)

“When I was a teenager my brother Sam introduced me to Orbital’s ‘Halcyon’ and ‘On and On.’ I used to listen to it on repeat in my room before I had the ability or gear to make any of my own stuff,” says Jon Hopkins. “I was obsessed with those opening chords and that beautiful reversed vocal. 25 years later the band asked me to remix it for their upcoming anniversary release. I was so honoured.’ Orbital’s 30th anniversary compilation, 30-Something, is out this month.
