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.

PISTOL ANNIES – "SNOW GLOBE"

SHOUT OUT LOUDS – "AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE"

Swedish indie stalwarts Shout Out Louds are back with a new album, their first since 2017's Ease My Mind. House is due out February 18, 2022 via Bud Fox Recordings/Integral/PIAS, and the first single is "As Far Away As Possible," which the band say "had to do with that sensation of being stuck, of longing for a break from the hum-drum of the day-to-day. Maybe a drink, a night out, a simple slip out the back door. Or something more. Anything really. Anything other than this. By dreaming of being as far away as possible, this song shines a light in the expansive darkness."

CAITLIN ROSE – "WHATCHOO" & "ONLY LIES"

Nashville musician Caitlin Rose is celebrating the (belated) tenth anniversary of her 2010 album Own Side Now with a deluxe remastered edition featuring two new tracks, "Whatchoo" and "Only Lies." About the latter, she says, "In 2008 I was leaning hard into 'classic' and 'cosmic country,' George Jones, Gram Parsons, early Ronstadt recordings, in a very unironic way," Caitlin says. "Even though it wasn’t my only influence I felt pressure that country was what I was supposed to be doing, my take on it was no doubt kind of quirky, but it came naturally to me. It was easy and fun but I knew I still hadn’t found my own direction. Jordan Lehning who co-wrote the song inspired me to dig deeper, musically, melodically. He pulled me out of a creative rut I didn’t even know I was in. It was an uncomfortable growth period, and while he didn’t produce Own Side, he was still a huge influence on my own artistic evolution. To me, the song itself is a perfect take on the end of a romantic relationship that exists within a creative one. A necessary emotional cynicism that gets you through to the other side."

KATY B – "OPEN WOUND" FT. JAZ KARIS

"I think I consciously leaned into my RnB side more on this project," Katy says. "With the clubs being closed, it reflects what I’d be listening to and vibing to at home. My top ten songs are classic RnB songs, I’m a nostalgia head and I wanted to bring that throwback feel to the music."

WALE – "POKE IT OUT" (ft. J. COLE)

ZANDER SCHLOSS – "SONG ABOUT SONGS"

“This is my polar opposite version of punk rock," Circle Jerks bassist Zander Schloss says about his first solo album. "Punk rock is volume and anger and speed. I wanted to do space and vulnerability and excruciating, almost subconscious emotions, things that I feel so deeply that I would never say them out loud.”

—

ELBOW – "THE SELDOM SEEN KID"

Elbow's new album Flying Dream 1 is out next month, and they've just shared the first single. It's titled "The Seldom Seen Kid," which Elbow fans will recognize as the title of their Mercury Prize-winning 2008 album. Like the album, the song is named for Manchester musician Bryan Glancy, who died in 2006. Set against a woodwind backing, "The Seldom Seen Kid" is a gorgeous first taste of the album.
