35 New Songs Out Today

So many artists, so many songs, 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.

PETER GABRIEL – “FOUR KINDS OF HORSES” FT BRIAN ENO & RICHARD RUSSELL

It’s a full moon and that means Peter Gabriel is back with a new song from his upcoming album. “Four Kinds of Horses” features Brian Eno and XL Recordings’ Richard Russell. Gabriels says the song “actually began on Richard Russell’s project ‘Everything Is Recorded’…I came up with some chords, melodies and words on top of a groove he was working on. We tried a few things that didn’t altogether work and so it lay dormant for quite a while. Then I started playing around with it again and changed the mood and the groove and something else began to emerge with a better chorus.”

FASCINATOR – “I GOT YOU”

Australian psych artist Fascinator (real name: Johnny Mackay) released new album Lovesongs today. “This is a collection of songs written for people who broke my heart,” says Mackay. “I never dreamed they’d fall on any ears other than the audience-of-one each was written for. The first time I pulled them out in public was at a songwriting camp in Nantucket, realizing the rainbow beats I’d been making as Fascinator weren’t going to cut it in a barn full of singer-songwriters. Shortly after, my savantish new friend Loren Humphrey and I were hanging out in his Bushwick loft that was more recording studio than apartment trying to decide what we should create together. My friendship group in NYC at the time consisted of some incredible musicians and I invited quite a few into the studio. There was a beautiful sense of time and place. Community I suppose.”
