30 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. In these concertless times, that includes daily livestreams and live concert videos we love. We publish a monthly playlist of some of our favorite tracks. Here's a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.

Alec Ounsworth is back with a new Clap Your Hands Say Yeah album, New Fragility, which will be out January 29 via CYHSY. That's still a ways off, but Ounsworth has shared two songs: the widescreen indie rock of "Hesitating Nation" and the pretty, anthemic "Thousand Oaks." Says Alec, "'Hesitating Nation' is a song meant to convey my sense of disappointment and alienation with the rewarded mentality of getting ahead at all costs, inevitably to the detriment of those who didn’t sign up to be part of the experiment”; as for "Thousand Oaks," Ounsworth says, "In 2018, there was a shooting in Thousand Oaks, CA which killed 13 people. This song has to do with the impotence of the American government in the face of such tragedies."

ROSTAM – "UNFOLD YOU" (FT HENRY SOLOMON)

BENNY SINGS FT. MAC DEMARCO – "ROLLED UP"

Benny Sings has a new 7" single out via Stone's Throw and the A-side is this smoothed-out number featuring Mac DeMarco that's perfect for your next yachting adventure. “The song is about being in the dumps without a particular reason,” says Benny. “Things can be pretty good, but still you feel like shit. Sometimes leaving it all can be a cure. We wrote this together last year in Mac’s studio. I think Mac went out to get some coffee, and he heard someone use the phrase ‘rolled up, tossed out,’ talking about a cigarette. So that was the start of it. It felt pretty effortless, I think we both come from the same place songwriting-wise. Was a dream to work with him. A true artist.”

Maxband, the solo project of Parquet Courts drummer Max Savage, will release new album Top of the Stairs on November 20. First single is the super-catchy "Cut it Loose," a song that's decidedly poppier than Parquet Courts.
