Robert Plant, The Hives, Margaret Glaspy, more

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.

TODAY IS THE DAY – “NEVER GIVE IN”

Heavy music legends Today Is The Day have announced their 14th album, Never Give In, due October 3 via SuperNova Records. The newly-shared title track is a six-minute song that finds the band sounding as towering and shapeshifting as ever.

TRACE MOUNTAINS – “THE DARK DON’T HIDE IT” & TEEN SUICIDE – “WHIP POOR WILL” (JASON MOLINA COVERS)

You’ve already heard the MJ Lenderman and Sun June covers, and now here’s Trace Mountains and Teen Suicide’s lovely renditions of “The Dark Don’t Hide It” and “Whip Poor Will,” respectively.

EVERYTHING IS RECORDED – “WEAR AND TEAR” FT. SAMPHA, FLORENCE WELCH, DANIELLE PONDER AND JAH WOBBLE

MARGARET GLASPY – “JESUS, ETC” (WILCO COVER FT. NORAH JONES)

Margaret Glaspy’s new stripped down, piano-and-voice rendition of Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot favorite “Jesus, Etc” is off her new cover and collaboration album Golden Heart Projector, due out September 12 via ATO. It’s a duet with Norah Jones, and Margaret says, “Norah Jones has informed so much of the music I make and to sing a Wilco song with her was a total dream come true.”

THE HIVES – “THE HIVES FOREVER FOREVER THE HIVES”

The Hives love of hyping themselves is part of their charm and that’s front and center on the title track to their new album, The Hives Forever, Forever the Hives. Their self-deprecating humor, meanwhile, is front and center in the song’s gleefully violent video.

DAFFO – “DAGGER SONG”

“Someone I was very close with for a long time decided to stop speaking to me, and I wrote this song about our matching dagger tattoos and about mourning our relationship overall,” Daffo says about the latest single off their upcoming debut album, Where the Earth Bends. “‘Dagger Song’ was written in one go, but it’s a nice example of letting myself sit in my feelings rather than intellectualizing or analyzing them from a distance.”
