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.

LYRA PRAMUK – “WITNESS” (ft. COLIN SELF) (SELFLESS REWORK)

ANGELS & AIRWAVES – “LOSING MY MIND”

Angels & Airwaves have released the fifth single from their upcoming album Lifeforms, “Losing My Mind.” This one starts out as a heavily electronic song before turning into something more typical of Angels & Airwaves, and the lyrics sound very inspired by the past year (“There’s idiots abound, and they’re all fucking racist,” Tom sings). There’s also an Easter egg in the lyrics, which are typed out in the YouTube description: Tom actually spelled out “the voice in my yead.”

THE BRONX – “MEXICAN SUMMER”

The Bronx (slightly) slow things down for this one, but they don’t tone down the punk n’ roll swagger one bit. New album VI drops in August.

—

BANOFFEE – “IDIOT”

Australian avant pop singer Banoffee announced a new album, Teartracks, due out October 8. The first single is “Idiot,” and about its accompanying video, she says, “Making this video was such a joy. Living out a dream I had about trolling tradies was such a fun experience and of course a moment on a love heart bed was crucial. ‘Idiot’ is about needing to stay indoors and be self indulgent, it’s about indulging in brattiness, with the help of my amazing creative team I think we made a version of that that’s really fun.”

—

BELAVER – “70’S ADVENTURE”

Belaver, aka Ben Godfrey, will release new album Lain Prone on October 22 via Robert Ellis’ Niles City Records. Fans of Bill Callahan or the late David Berman will probably find things to like in “70’s Adventure,” a lazy float downstream full of warm humor and melody.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Toronto’s The Hidden Cameras, a band that once included Owen Pallett and toured with Arcade Fire, but they’re back and have a new album due out next year. Conceived in Berlin and recorded in Munich, it takes The Hidden Cameras far away from their folky indiepop beginnings and into dance/electronic territory. While we wait for that, you can listen to their first new single in five years, “Redemption.”
