24 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.
KING KRULE - “IF ONLY IT WAS WARMTH”

MAN ON MAN - “TAKE IT FROM ME” & “HUSH” FT. J MASCIS
Man On Man (Roddy Bottum & Joey Holman) will release their new album Provincetown in a month and they've just shared two songs which both feature noted indie rock shredder J. Mascis. "Provincetown, the town where we recorded our new record has a way of providing a landscape that spurns friendship and growth and creative fertility. We’d been friends with J Mascis for a while but it wasn’t until the summer of 2022 that we were able to lean into our relationship with him and his family and take things to a new creative plateau. This epic rock bomb was begging for the wizardry that only J could provide and we feel so fortunate to have him onboard."

KYLIE MINOGUE - "PADAM PADAM"
"I started this album with an open mind and a blank page. Unlike my last two albums there wasn’t a ‘theme,’ it was about finding the heart or the fun or the fantasy of that moment and always trying to service the song," says Kylie Minogue of her new album Tension. "I wanted to celebrate each song’s individuality and to dive into that freedom. I would say it’s a blend of personal reflection, club abandon and melancholic high.” This is the bouncy first single.

JD PINKUS (BUTTHOLE SURFERS) & TALL TALL TREES- "FUNGAL MOUNTAIN BREAKDOWN"
Butthole Surfers' JD Pinkus has made a new album with Tall Tall Trees (Mike Savino), titled Ponder Machine, that will be out June 30 via Shimmy-Disc. "We began recording with the semblance of a plan and soon abandoned that plan to chase rabbits," says Savino. "I honestly cannot remember recording much of this music, not due to substance or faulty memory, but because I completely let go. I became a spectator. The entire record feels like a collective fever dream and I will cherish the time we spent making it for a long long time." This is some eerie, gothy banjo ambience as you can hear on "Fungal Mountain Breakdown."

WHO IS SHE? (CHASTITY BELT, TACOCAT, LISA PRANK) - "THURSDAY"
Pacific Northwest indie supergroup Who Is She? -- Lisa Prank's Robin Edwards, Tacocat's Bree Mckenna and Emily Nokes, and Chastity Belt's Julia Shapiro - got headlines for being canned as the Seattle Kraken House Band after dissing Amazon's Jeff Bezos. That may boost their recognition a little as they announce their second album, Goddess Energy, which will be out August 25 via Father/Daughter. The first single, released appropriately on a Thursday, is pretty catchy. Say the group: "We are big fans of day of the week songs like 'Manic Monday' and 'Friday I’m in Love,' and we realized there weren’t enough songs about Thursday. So we decided to write one!"

DEXYS (FKA DEXYS MIDNIGHT RUNNERS) - "THE FEMININE DIVINE"
Kevin Rowland describes the title track to Dexys' new album as, "Overcome with regret and at last glimpsing how women might actually feel, the man gets honest and admits how afraid of women he has been, and how fear has driven so many of his actions. He now sees and acknowledges women’s inherent power: if anything, women are superior; they are goddesses. He sincerely pledges to be different in the future."

Tassa and Greenwood say, "the first song we recorded for this project was 'Taq ou-Dub'” It’s an old Lebanese song, now performed by Nour Freteikh and in fact it was the starting point for the entire album, connecting Ramallah, Tel Aviv, Beirut and Oxford. Nour, such an incredible singer, first recorded her vocal track remotely but eventually the three of us got together in person to rehearse and perform—and connect properly. We feel very lucky—and very proud—to have made a song, and a friendship, with such a remarkable musician as Nour."
