So many artists, 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. In these concertless times, that includes daily livestreams and live concert videos we love. 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.

LITTLE SIMZ – “ROLLIN STONE”

UK rapper Little Simz has released the third single from her anticipated new album I Might Be Introvert, and following the maximalist, heavily-layered first two singles, this one finds her in hard-hitting, bare-bones rap mode. It’s always great to hear Simz like this too.

DREG – PRAXIS I: TURBINE BLADE GORE EP

NJ’s DREG dropped this brief EP that falls somewhere between sass and metalcore (and includes a song featuring cybergrind solo artist Blind Equation), and if you’ve been into the stuff coming out of this realm lately (Wristmeetrazor, SeeYouSpaceCowboy, Kaonashi, etc), this is definitely worth a listen.

MATT BACHMANN – “MY DAD AND HIS BOAT”

Matt Bachmann (Hand Habits, Mega Bog) releases new album Dream Logic this Friday via Orindal / We Be Friends and he’s shared this taste before the whole thing drops. “My Dad and His Boat” is an eerie ballad that references stories his grandmother told him. “I really loved listening to her repeat these stories and hearing how they stayed the same and how the stories changed,” says Bachmann. “On my last day with her, we were sitting on the beach when we spotted this sailboat. The sailboat sparked a memory for her of my dad and a boat that he owned as a child and how he used to sail all the time. Every time she saw the boat as we sat on the beach, she’d tell this story about my dad sailing and by the end of the afternoon, she had probably told it to me ten times. Hearing this story over and over and not knowing if it was true brought on this deep sadness of how little I know about my dad outside of his role as a father – how I’d only known him as a child and adolescent and never got the chance to relate to him as an adult; how little of his history I was aware of.”
