26 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.
FEIST – “BORROW TROUBLE”
“‘Borrow Trouble’ caused some trouble in trying to finish the recording,” Feist says of the newest single from her upcoming album Multitudes. “It began as a contemplative acoustic morality tale and shape-shifted itself into the sound of trouble itself. It’s a mess that holds its own logic. It’s the convincing cacophony that thoughts can be. It saws away at you until your overwhelm pops an air supply in the form of another idea, a solution that starts with accepting there’s no such thing as perfection.”

FENNE LILY – “IN MY OWN TIME”
The latest single from Fenne Lily’s new album Big Picture is “In My Own Time,” a gentle folk track. “This song’s about the weight of stasis — about time moving too quickly and too slowly and every mistake feeling both permanent and inconsequential,” she says.
“When it came to writing this video concept, I wanted it to reflect the twisted aspects of a love that’s found in the midst of chaos and the subsequent feeling of being inanimate in your own story. All that, in the style of Terminator 2.”

GUADALUPE PLATA – “EN MI TUMBA”
Spanish duo Guadalupe Plata will release their self-titled seventh album on May 5. The group say, “The record was recorded in two different locations with the same sound studio project, based on a 4-track Tascam 246 recorder with type II chrome cassettes, using 18 Tudor brand cassettes. All the recordings were made by the band in Úbeda, looking for new sounds with the freedom of having unlimited time to do it.” First single “En Mi Tumba” is a dark, alluring garage rock burner.

SHELLY FAIRCHILD & SHAMIR – “FIST CITY” (LORETTA LYNN COVER)
Shelly Fairchild and Shamir have delivered a fun, pretty reverent cover of Loretta Lynn’s classic single “Fist City” that’s out via Kill Rock Stars. “I was scheduled to record at Blackbird Studios in Nashville with Blackbird Academy students, and as I was driving to the studio for my second day of tracking, I got a text that said Loretta had passed,” H Fairchild says. “As an admirer and friend of the Lynn family, the loss was heartbreaking. Her music changed the face of Country for women. She wrote about what she was living, and she did not apologize.“

—
THE LEMON TWIGS – “IN MY HEAD”
“The song’s about the disconnect between your inner and perceived self,” say The Lemon Twigs about this new single and video. “The music video was shot mostly at Fort Tilden Beach and juxtaposes the fun in the sun energy of the track with inclement weather and neuroscience.” New album Everything Harmony is out May 5 via Captured Tracks.

SINGLE MOTHERS – “SAD DUMB GAME” & “HEAD SHRUNK”
Canadian punks Single Mothers have announced a new album, Roy, due out April 28 via Dine Alone Records. It was written over the course of a week, and they’ve shared two new singles from it, “Head Shrunk” and “Sad Dumb Game.” “I wrote ‘Sad Dumb Game’ as a reflection of our intentions versus our actions,” Drew Thomson says. “We’re in a weird spot where two identities exist: your online persona and the real you. Lots of people get to see the online you, the one that’s carefully crafted, massaged, edited. A small fraction get to see the real person that exists outside the algorithms and edited rewrites. ‘Sad Dumb Game’ is about that performative dance, that editing process. It’s about the you that only exists on a screen somewhere versus who we really are.”
—
ISLAND OF LOVE – “FED ROCK”
UK band Island of Love, the first signing to Third Man’s London branch, have shared another new song from their upcoming debut album. “We wrote this song about a lot of the bands we were seeing around us when we first started gigging in London,” says co-frontman Linus Munch. “It was one of the first songs written for the album and has always been a highlight of our set, and I think the faster pace of the song reflects the time it was written – the summer when we played our very first shows.”

SAMIAM – “SOMETHING”
“The light perkiness of the music is belied by the heavy subject matter—searching for meaning and reason inside of everyday actions,” Samiam guitarist Sean Kennedy says of “Something,” the latest single off their first album in 12 years Stowaway. “It’s about faking it just to get through yet another ridiculous interaction you don’t feel like you belong in. The Buzzcocks-style hammering chords underpin Jason soaring vocals as he searches for an elusive feeling of relevance and purpose inside the everyday.”
