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.

LA FEMME – “LE SANG DE MON PROCHAIN”

Parisian band La Femme will release their new album Paradigmes in just a couple weeks and here’s another early taste.”Le Sang de Mon Prochain” means “The Blood of My Neighbor” and there’s a definite vampiric vibe to the single’s very cool video which adds in sci-fi elements as well.

FAR LANDS – “IT’S TIME”

Far Lands — aka Andy McFarlane, producer Matt Drenik and Ivan Howard (Rosebuds, Gayngs) — will release debut album, There Be Monsters, on April 30. This is the rather cinematic (and very catchy) second single.

BOYS NOIZE & KELSEY LU – “RIDE OR DIE” FEAT. CHILLY GONZALES

Boys Noize and Kelsey Lu’s new single, featuring Chilly Gonzales, “reflects upon the tumultuous emotional tenor of our uncertain future before exploding into delirious, peak-time techno.” The video was originally released as part of an NFT art auction but is now available to the rest of us.

REAL NUMBERS – “OLD CROSS”

“I can’t quite remember how I came up with the main arpeggio part,” says Real Numbers’ Eli Hansen. “The idea was to couple it with an atmospheric yet adventurous lead so I sent a recording of it to Cam who composed it by the following day. There was an incredibly simple bass line ready which Ian elaborated on and turned into something beautiful. James came up with that perfect Felt-y drum part, while Sophie’s keyboards give the song more of a Field Mice feeling. The video footage I found on YouTube via the VHS Archives who in turn, I believe, found it somewhere. It’s of Altandhu, Scotland.” As Eli mentions, there’s a decided ’80s indie pop vibe here, a la Felt, Field Mice and House of Love.

SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE – “I SUCK THE DEVIL’S COCK”

Spirit of the Beehive’s first album for Saddle Creek, ENTERTAINMENT, DEATH, arrives in April, and today they’ve shared its third single. Like the previous two, it’s a totally wild, genre-less song that doesn’t really sound like any other band, and it’s yet another awesome taste of this anticipated LP.

—

HIATUS KAIYOTE – “GET SUN” (ft. ARTHUR VEROCAI)

—

OPEN MIKE EAGLE – “GOLD GLOVES” (prod. THE LASSO)

Here’s the latest single from the upcoming Mello Music Group compilation Bushido. This one finds alt-rap great Open Mike Eagle delivering his trademark tongue-twisters over trippy, futuristic production from The Lasso (who’s one half of Small Bills with Elucid). ” brought a glitched out Moog, a circling bassline, and a bag of plucky percussion, and did what we came to do,” The Lasso said. “Honored to do battle with a legend and hero.”

—

CYPRESS HILL – “CHAMPION SOUND” (prod. BLACK MILK)

Veteran rap group Cypress Hill have teamed with Black Milk for a psychedelic new song for the R.B.I. Baseball 21 video game soundtrack. There’s some baseball talk in the lyrics, but it’s a cool song in it sown right that doesn’t just sound like it was written for a video game.

—

HALF PAST TWO – “MEAN GREEN”

Orange County ska band Half Past Two’s last single “All About You” went very far in the sunny pop direction, but this one’s a little harder, closer to ’90s ska-punk, and it rips.

—

NEVERLYN – “MATCHES”

Bay Area band Neverlyn’s new single sounds straight of the mid 2000s Fueled by Ramen era of pop punk, but they make it feel fresh today.

MIDDLE KIDS – “TODAY WE’RE THE GREATEST”

Australian band Middle Kids’ sophomore album, Today We’re the Greatest, comes out Friday via Domino, and ahead of that they’ve shared the feel-good title track. “This is a simple song about people being tiny and our lives being fleeting but also that we are epic and great,” singer and songwriter Hannah Joy says. “It’s finding the beauty and majesty of the everyday. LIFE IS GORY AND BORING SOMETIMES: it’s both hectic and mundane and we have to accept both.”

KING HANNAH – “STATE TROOPER” (BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN COVER)

“We wanted to keep that live-feel when covering ‘State Trooper’ and so we tracked the song live in our little home studio,” say UK band King Hanna of this Springsteen cover. “We tried to do justice to the atmosphere of the original when arranging the track, with rumbling tom-heavy drums, warm creamy guitars and intimate slap-back vocals.”
