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.

TORRES – “HUG FROM A DINOSAUR”

SLOTHRUST – “ONCE MORE FOR THE OCEAN”

The latest single from Slothrust’s fifth album, Parallel Timeline, is “Once More for the Ocean.” “This song felt like it was handed to me by the ocean,” Leah Wellbaum says. “It came to me when I was sitting on some rocks and staring at one of my favorite oceans in the world, on Star Island off the coast of Rye, New Hampshire. The bass line arrived first, and then the melody and the lyrics came at the same time. I didn’t have an instrument with me that week so I sang what I had into my phone notes and carried on with my day, almost forgetting about it entirely. I have a unique relationship with this song because it felt like it came through me more than from me, though I recognize that really there is no difference. It is not the easiest song to sing or explain. At times I even wondered if it might be suited for a different artist. However after sitting with it for a while I have come to the conclusion that this song was meant for me and it is about the search for a greater consciousness in times of chaos. For me that feeling of oneness often shows up when I am spending time in nature.”

ALEX ORANGE DRINK (SO SO GLOS) – “OXYTOCIN”

—

RODRIGO AMARANTE – “I CAN’T WAIT”

Rodrigo Amarante is gearing up to release Drama next month and he’s just shared this new single. “I wrote this song because Jesus is followed by traitors,” says Amarante. “I wrote it because Darwin’s ideas are serving the purpose of turning ourselves against one another, because I believe freedom does not stem from independence, separation or disconnect as the dictionaries suggest, but rather from the acknowledgement of our interdependence, because freedom is belonging. I wrote this song because hope isn’t enough. I wrote it after bumping into an entry at a Latin dictionary: Noster Nostri – 1: Our, Ours. 2: Our hearts beat as one. 3: That old dream of ours.”

—

GASPARD AUGÉ (JUSTICE) – “CAPTAIN”

MEGA BOG – “WEIGHT OF THE EARTH, ON PAPER”

The video, meanwhile, features Big Thief’s James Krivchenia (who co-produced the album), Adrianne Lenker, and more. “The video for ‘Weight of the Earth, on Paper’ came out more pure Mega Bog than I even expected,” says Mega Bog’s Erin Birgy. “We are a community of deep friends and collaborators, who move through the world as scrappy little archeologists who love to play dress up. I’m so thrilled to have the friends I have show up and trust me over and over again, and I’ll always be there to do the same.”

—

EFTERKLANG – “LIVING OTHER LIVES”

—

SHANNON AND THE CLAMS – “YEAR OF THE SPIDER”

“‘Year of the Spider‘ is essentially the summation of my 2019 and 2020,” says Shannon. “I was being stalked by a peeping tom for months and months all while my dad was going through radiation treatment while the mountains around us were being ravaged by wildfires. It was an extremely intense time in my life and just could not dampen the desperate desire to feel safe. I became really obsessive and was seeking comfort wherever I could find it.” Shannon and The Clams’ new album, Year of the Spider, is out in August.
