Between our daily coverage and our Notable Releases and Bill’s Indie Basement columns, we post tons of new music all the time here on BrooklynVegan. In an effort to keep track of all the new music we’re excited about, we’ve been posting a new playlist each month with many of the songs we love that were (mostly) released that month.

May was a big month, with 63 songs we really loved, including tracks from Matt Berninger, Phoebe Bridgers, Perfume Genius, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Neil Young, The 1975, Hayley Williams, Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist, Ka, Standing on the Corner, Cut Copy, slowthai and Kenny Beats, JPEGMAFIA, Protomartyr, Jeff Rosenstock, Owen Pallett, Cass McCombs, Khruangbin, Deradoorian, Deerhoof, No Joy, Bright Eyes, Keaton Henson, Woods, and lots more.
