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.

ALIEN BOY – “THE WAY I FEEL”

Portland’s Alien Boy follow their recent single “Stuck” (Radio Mix) with the announcement of their new album Don’t Know What I Am, which comes out August 20 via Get Better Records. It was produced by the band and Nich Wilbur, and mixed and mastered by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Jeff Rosenstock, Joyce Manor, etc), and it doesn’t include “Stuck” but it does include this great new song “The Way I Feel.” It’s catchy indie-punk with a hint of shoegaze and ton of emotion.

It’s also a tribute to the late Vaughan Oliver, whose design work gave ’80s/’90s 4AD its distinctive look.

—

LA LUZ – “IN THE COUNTRY”

“I moved to the country a few years ago after living in cities for most of my life,” says La Luz’s Shana Cleveland of the band’s new single. “Being out in the middle of nowhere makes it easy to imagine how it would be possible to leave society all together. I love how in this track some of the most unnatural elements of the arrangement (synthesizers, fuzz, effects) create an atmosphere around the instruments that ends up feeling very natural–I can hear bugs buzzing around and bird sounds in different directions.”

—

SKIRTS – “TRUE”

The latest single from Texas singer-songwriter Alex Montenegro, aka Skirts, “True,” is a sleepy, country-fried track. It’s from her upcoming debut album, Great Big Wild Oak, due out July 30 via Double Double Whammy.

The first single off the record is the genial and jazzy “Get It ‘Fore It’s Gone.”

—

ALDOUS HARDING – “OLD PEEL”

Aldous Harding is back with a new single and has announced an extensive 2022 tour. “Old Peel” has been around for a while — she played it at Brooklyn’s Rough Trade back in 2019 when she debuted Designer live — and it fits right in alongside that album’s nervous, quirky beauty.

—

LIARS – “BIG APPETITE”

Liars have shared a second single from their upcoming album The Apple Drop. “Big Appetite” lurches and swings in a way that Liars are especially good at, building mood and menacing atmosphere as it goes with layers of drums, textural guitar and Angus Andrew’s wailing.

K.D.A.P. (KEVIN DREW OF BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE) – “THE SLINFOLD LOOP”

Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew has announced a new solo album titled Influences that will be released under the name K.D.A.P. (aka Kevin Drew a Picture) on July 16 via Arts & Crafts. It’s an all instrumental record, created during the pandemic while Kevin was in England, and much of it was made while in the “woods of Slinford and along the canals of Islington” using smartphone software Endless. Despite the circumstances, Kevin says it’s the kind of record he’s been wanting to make for a while, ambient and ethereal, drawing inspiration from Eno to Morricone and beyond.

—

PIP BLOM – “KEEP IT TOGETHER”

Amsterdam’s Pip Blom have announced their second album, Welcome Break, which will be out October 8 va Heavenly. (Their debut, Boat, came out in 2019.) The first single is the immediate earworm “Keep it Together,” which is light and frothy in the verses and loud and crunchy in the chorus. “I just really like catchy songs and I feel like that’s something we do well,” says Pip.

—

WET LEG – “CHAISE LOUNGE”

“Is your mother worried,” Wet Leg’s Rhian Teasdale asks dryly over a danceable rock beat before following up with “Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?” There’s a coy wit here and, when the guitars kick in, the song recalls the heyday of Franz Ferdinand, The Futureheads and The Rakes. “Chaise Lounge” is even better when watched with its video that features excellent dancing from Chambers, as well as some high kicks.

—
