38 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.

JUNIP – “LINE OF FIRE” FT. SHARON VAN ETTEN

José González’s previous band Junip enlisted Sharon Van Etten for a new version of their song “Line of Fire” for the soundtrack to new Disney+ documentary Wild Life. “I was a fan of José González before I had the opportunity to tour with Junip in 2010,” Sharon says. “I was lucky enough to get to sing with him on stage all those years ago. I was able to witness José and his band go so quickly from sweet and sentimental to direct and piercing through their performances, not to mention how José’s guitar playing and songwriting deliver this specific gut punch that is unique to he and his band’s production. It was challenging to learn the complicated melody that José wrote and I worked hard to honor his phrasing. It was a welcome reconnection after not having been able to perform with him in some time. A welcomed reunion set to the backdrop of such a beautiful story.”

THE VOIDZ – “THE PROPHECY OF THE DRAGON”

Julian Casablancas’ other band, The Voidz, are back! “The track started with a very simple question… what would it feel like if God whispered into your ear ‘you are my most magnificent creature.’ What would that feeling sound like? What would its bassline be? With that, Beardo blew The Voidz conch shell, and we assembled from the various corners of the earth to which we had been summoned for previous quests. From the deserts of the Sahara, to the truck stops of the midwest – we reunited in California to answer this question. the response? …from the fiery bones of eternity, the dragon’s voice, awakened after millennia in waiting, spewed forth a sonic fist of impertinence in the shape of a New Pirate anthem, where nothing is what it seems, nor is it otherwise”

THE MARY ONETTES – “FOREVER BEFORE LOVE” / “FUTURE GRIEF”

PHOENIX – “WINTER SOLSTICE” (BRAXE + FALCON REMIX)

It’s a remix made only in France. Says Alan Braxe, “It’s Phoenix, it’s a very beautiful song with moving lyrics, there’s a lifetime friendship between Dj Falcon and the boys. All these elements made the starting point for this remix quite symbolic and some sort of healthy pressure was there when we listened to the stems for the 1st time. Suddenly we realized that unlike many songs “Winter Solstice” is of course based on a 12 bars musical cycle. That was the trigger point for us, we love musical loop and 12 bars create a space where it’s easy to get lost in a very pleasant way. We kept it quite downtempo, not so easy to play in clubs but it was the only option to preserve Thomas’s voice. Hope you’ll like it.”
