14 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.

QUANNNNIC – “WRENCHES”

Quannnic, the newer shoegaze band who are (again) gearing up to tour with shoegaze vets Slowdive, have shared this hazy, hooky new song.

THE HEAD AND THE HEART – “TIME WITH MY SINS”

“I started this song when I was deep into a whole mess of distractions and, quite frankly I wasn’t able to finish it,” The Head and the Heart’s Jonathan Russell says of their new single. “Fortunately, [bandmember] Matty [Gervais] had always been a supporter of what I had started out with and asked if he could take a crack at it. Lucky for all of us, he did just that, and what he came back with took me by surprise. The way he interpreted the song and brought it forward is just a great example of why I love being in this band. ‘Time With My Sins’ is about vulnerability and hard truths that can feel scary to put out in the open like this, but I’m happy we did.”

J BALVIN – “RIO”

Reggaeton star J Balvin returns with a personal, sentimental new song, “Rio.”

THE DARKNESS – “ROCK AND ROLL PARTY COWBOY”

THE MURDER CAPITAL – “THE FALL”

Says James McGovern of his band’s new single, “’I can’t be told, I can’t be dressed, I can’t be held, I can’t be fed, I can’t be whipped’. The Fall is coming. The Fall is inevitable. The Fall is one finger over the self destruct button, while the other holds its pose in meditation.” The Murder Capital’s third album Blindness is out on February 21.

DJO (JOE KEERY) – “BASIC BEING BASIC”
