23 New Songs Out Today
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. 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.
A$AP FERG – "GREEN JUICE" (prod. THE NEPTUNES, ft. PHARRELL)
A$AP Ferg has just signed to Roc Nation management (and is apparently now going just as "Ferg"), and his first song since the new deal is "Green Juice," which was produced by The Neptunes (Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo) and also features Pharrell sing-rapping on the track. The Neptunes provide a glossy, ominous beat, and Ferg sounds great over it.

JAPANESE BREAKFAST – "SAY IT AIN'T SO" (WEEZER COVER)
"I played a very sloppy basement cover of ‘Say It Ain’t So’ once with my band in college, so it was fun to revisit it from the opposite angle, stripped down with a string quartet," Japanese Breakfast says. "Craig Hendrix did the arrangement and Quartet 121 performed the hell out of it." It's from her Spotify new EP, Live At Electric Lady, which is out today.

SHE & HIM – "IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS"
It's most certainly not beginning to look a lot like Christmas, but we just have to accept that Christmas music comes out before Halloween now, so here's She & Him's lovely rendition of the classic "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas" from the A Very She & Him Christmas 10th anniversary edition.

HOT LEATHER – "FRIENDS"

—
SUNTITLE – "ROYAL BLUE"

SPANISH LOVE SONGS – "I MISS YOU" (BLINK-182 COVER)

—
CRAIG'S BROTHER – "FAKEBOOK"
Santa Cruz skate punks Craig's Brother ended an eight-year gap with no music with 2019's Devils In The Details EP, and now they've put out another new single. It makes it feel like no time has passed since the band's '90s/early '00s era, and Ted Bond's snot-nosed vocals are as unmistakable as ever.
—
VAULTED – "SHALLOW VACANCY"
Boston hardcore/death metal blenders Vaulted will release their new LP Left In Despair on November 19, and they've just shared a rippin' new song that's packed to the brim with badass riffery. Hear it at Metal Injection and stream the two previous singles below.

Fine Place, the duo of Frankie Rose (Vivian Girls, Crystal Stilts, Dum Dum Girls) and Matthew Hord (Running, Pop. 1280, Brandy), will release their debut album on November 11 via Night School and here's the second sneak peak from it. "It's Your House" has Rose's ethereal harmonies floating atop a gently arpeggiating synth line, with more voices added as the song loops. Lovely.
—

Here's the first taste from Spoon's new album, Lucifer on the Sofa, a strutting, ZZ Top-inspired rocker with a slasher-film video.
—
MIDNIGHT OIL – "RISING SEAS"

YARD ACT – "LAND OF THE BLIND"
