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.

REALLY FROM – “QUIRK”

There really aren’t many bands like Really From, whose of mix emo, math rock, jazz and more is as distinct as it is seamless, and their sound varies from song to song too. This second single from their upcoming self-titled album has more of an ethereal art pop vibe than the first single, and both are great.

FAR LANDS (MEM ROSEBUDS< GAYNGS) – “THERE BE MONSTERS”

Far Lands — aka Andy McFarlane, producer Matt Drenik and Ivan Howard (Rosebuds, Gayngs) — have announced their debut album, There Be Monsters, which will be out April 30 and they’ve just shared the gently rocking title track. “This is the kind of song that happens when you wake up from a dream with a melody stuck in your head and you go straight to your favorite chair and pull out that notepad that’s dedicated specifically for the first thoughts of the day, over coffee,” says McFarlane. “In this case, that happened on three consecutive mornings and the resulting 40 or so verses ranged from sweet to heartbreaking, to completely goofy. After a bit of back-and-forth and a ton of laughter during the demo process, I arrived at the ones that made the cut and came the closest to telling some truth about where I was at that exact point in time.”

HEALTH have put their industrial-pop spin on Rise Against’s latest single, and here’s what Rise Against’s Tim McIlrath said about it: “We didn’t really know what to expect but were all blown away by it.
