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.

LEON VYNEHALL – “SNAKESKIN ∞ HAS-BEEN”

Leon Vynehall has already made a variety of different types of electronic music during his relatively short career, and his latest single is some of his most overtly psychedelic stuff yet. It’s great, and it’s keeping us excited for Rare, Forever (due 4/30 via Ninja Tune).

ENTROPY – “I LIKE THE CUT OF YOUR GIBBERISH”

New York’s Entropy hearken back to the youth crew hardcore that their home state was churning out in the late ’80s, and the aggressive yet melodic “I Like The Cut Of Your Gibberish” puts a fresh spin on it. “It was originally climate issues that inspired it, but it could really be a multitude of problems facing humanity that are being referenced,” vocalist Brian Lawrence told No Echo. “The lyrics liken our long term impact to painting mud because once we’re gone, it’ll wash off pretty quickly.”

EVERYTHING EVERYTHING – “SUPERNORMAL”

Hot on the heels of thir fifth album Re-Animator, UK band Everything Everything have a brand new single. “‘Supernormal’ is about supernormal stimuli; highly exaggerated triggers that create a stronger reaction in us than evolution ever intended,” says the band’s Jonathan Higgs. “Our animal brains can’t help but reach for the bigger, brighter, tastier, sexier, bloodier, more intense experiences. I wanted to create an extremely overwhelming experience in this song and video, it’s about being a slave to our instincts no matter how extreme they become.” Higgs also directed the single’s superfreaky video which at one point features Margaret Thatcher playing drums.

SOPHIA KENNEDY – “I CAN SEE YOU”

Sophia Kennedy has shared another single from her upcoming second album, Monsters. Slinky and synthy, “I Can See You” is “about overcoming and confrontation and also about the euphoria that can arise from a supposed defeat,” says Sophia. “Musically it was intended to be powerful while the voice seems to have fallen out of time. Vocally I orientated myself a bit on the wonderful Karen Dalton in the verse, she has the great ability to combine abysmal, melancholy and hope in one.” The video, meanwhile, takes inspiration from The Wolf of Wall Street.

BRYCE DESSNER – “REQUIEM-ASHES”
