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.

MARISSA NADLER – "COULDN'T HAVE DONE THE KILLING"

Marissa Nadler has shared the third single off her upcoming album The Path of the Clouds (which you can pre-order on silver vinyl). Marissa's music is always haunting, but "Couldn't Have Done The Killing" is especially creepy, and it comes with horror novel-themed single artwork (above) and a video directed by Tyler Derryberry and Christen Dute that was inspired by creepy TV series like Unsolved Mysteries and In Search Of…

—

CALLING ALL CAPTAINS – "LAUREL CANYON"

Canadian emo-infused pop punks Calling All Captains' debut LP Slowly Getting Better comes out 10/29 via Equal Vision, and here's another very catchy song from it. If you like the hard-edged pop punk of the early 2010s "defend pop punk" era, this will scratch an itch.

—

LIL WAYNE – "YA DIG"

Lil Wayne has released a new song "Ya Dig," which is reportedly a previously unreleased song from his classic late 2000s mixtape era, and it captures the same fire Wayne had on his best-known songs from back then.

—

LUCIFER – "CRUFIX (I BURN FOR YOU)"

Lucifer have shared another song off their upcoming album Lucifer IV, and like the last one, it's very Blue Oyster Cult (even down to the title), but in a modern way.

—

OURI – "OSSATURE"

Montreal producer and multi-instrumentalist Ouri's debut LP, Frame of a Fauna, is due out October 22, and the latest single is "Ossature," which oscillates between glitchy electronics and lush strings. "I revisited the iconic, agile and tense sample of 'Intact Alef' by PTU from one of my favorite labels трип records for this song," Ouri says. "Rebellious choruses fight submissive verses, puncturing the classical nuances with industrial abrasions and heavy drum samples – tearing down any attempt to keep a disciplined and soft self on top."

—

TRACE MOUNTAINS – "EYES ON THE ROAD" & "HEART OF GOLD"

Dave Benton, formerly of LVL UP, is releasing his third album as Trace Mountains, House of Confusion, on October 22 via Lame-O Records, and ahead of its release he's shared the final two tracks. "Eyes on the Road" is a warm, driving track, while "Heart of Gold" is more mellow and twangy.

—

WYE OAK – "HALF A DOUBLE MAN"

The latest track from the "lost" album of previously unreleased tracks that accompanies Civilian + Cut All the Wires: 2009-2011, the tenth anniversary edition of Wye Oak's third album, is "Half a Double Man." "I think this song is about (it was over 10 years ago, after all) coming to the realization that you can never fully satisfy all the parts of yourself simultaneously, especially when they are at odds with one another," Jenn Wasner says. The best you can hope for is some sort of half-reconciliation, a truce that exists in that place of: not everything but just enough."

—

MORGAN REESE – "NOT COOL ANYMORE"

19-year-old Bay Area-native Morgan Reese has shared a new single, "not cool anymore," out via EMPIRE. It's a smooth R&B track that Reese wrote and produced herself. "At the time of writing this song, I felt as if I was losing sight of myself and identity by only focusing on this person," she says. "I was not cool anymore because I cared so much about someone who didn’t reciprocate. This song comes from a place of painful nostalgia, where looking back at the happy memories only reminds you of the failed relationship and what could have been.”

—

—

KING GARBAGE – "PEANUT BUTTER KISSES"

Songwriting and production team King Garbage just released this new single via Mike Patton's Ipecac Recordings label. “Nicotine stained fingers inch down the nut-butter aisle of your local grocer," is how the duo's Vic Dimotsis describes it. "Big hair in purple leather wears a cologne of sucrose like a fine French perfume. Chewing gum, smokes, and whipped cream dance on the checkout belt to a 3/4 ballad. Classic Rock never tasted so good."

—

—

JERRY VESSEL – "THE BUZZCOCKS USED TO PLAY"

Former Red House Painters bassist Jerry Vessel will release a new solo album, Her Favourite Hitchcock Films, on October 22 via Cue For Makeup Recordings. He co-produced it with Bruce Kaphan (American Music Club) who also plays on the album.
