19 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.

DANIEL AVERY – “THE GHOST OF HER SMILE” FT NEWDAD’S JULIE DAWSON

“The longer I live with Tremor, the more this track feels like a shining light on the horizon after a night in the fog,” Daniel Avery says of this collab with NewDad’s Julie Dawson. “I’ve been a fan of NewDad from the moment I heard them – one of those stop what you’re doing and turn up the radio moments – so I’m truly excited to have Julie Dawson on this record. To me Julie is the embodiment of a modern rock star: enigmatic and formidable yet utterly beguiling. Her energy, her light, make the world of Tremor shine for everyone to see.”

ANNA VON HAUSSWOLFF – “STRUGGLE WITH THE BEAST”

Anna Von Hausswolff’s anticipated new album arrives on Halloween, and the latest preview is “Struggle with the Beast,” a minute experimental jazz freakout. “I wrote this song after a close friend experienced a psychosis,” she says. “There was something unstoppable and completely disconnected about her, as if she were living and reigning in a parallel universe of some kind. She was so far away from the person I knew, as if all of her social barriers had completely dissolved. There was a new, weird brilliance to her way of communicating and being. She had no filters. I’m glad she’s back to normal today, but it made me think of how vulnerable and complex we all are, and that there are layers of unresolved trauma and unspoken truths within everyone.”

SASSY 009 – “TELL ME” (FT. BLOOD ORANGE)

Sassy 009, aka Norwegian producer and songwriter Sunniva Lindgård, will release Dreamer+ Out January 16. “This song has been sitting with me for a few years,” she says of “Tell Me” which features Dev Hynes. “It all started with a particular mood but I couldn’t quite seem to finish the song. I had the idea to send it over to Dev. I’ve been waiting for the moment for us to make a song together ever since we met in Amsterdam back in 2019, and I really couldn’t hear anyone else but him on it. So happy I followed my gut”.

SAINTSENECA – “BITTER SUITE”

The latest single from Highwalllow & Supermoon Songs, Saintseneca’s first album in 7 years, is “Bitter Suite.” Zac Little says:

I found this song at the intersection of grief and ecstatic joy.
I was mourning the loss of my friend, and celebrating the birth of my child.

How do you guide a life through this world of wild cruelty and profound beauty?
A harrowing prospect…

I listened to doom music.
It was soothing and cathartic.

On the outro of this number,
I used artificial intelligence to clone my voice, and set it to loop in a self destroying mantra —
Only to be washed away by the rhythmic waves of my daughter’s heartbeat in utero.

strangely train-like?
Apocalyptic dad rock
Keep on truckin’
