5 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.

NILUFER YANYA – “COLD HEART”

Here’s a brand new song from Nilufer Yanya that she and collaborator Willma Archer wrote and recorded after touring for last year’s great My Method Actor. “This one turned out pretty different to how I imagined it,” she says. “The initial melody felt very spacious, like there’s room for anything to happen. It felt like a kind of experiment.”

THE BUG – “BURY DEM” (FT LOGAN)

Kevin Martin will release a new 12″ single as The Bug featuring dub mixes of songs from last year’s Machine. “For me, “Burials / Mud’ is a celebration of verbal grime and sonic filth, where dub meets riff, and beats add brute physicality,” Martin says. “It’s a bridge between the mechanized relentlessness of ‘Machine’ and the raw, dubbed-out extremity of Bug live shows. Logan and Magugu add fire to the flames, as the original rhythms are intensified and fully f-cked with.” Here’ s “Bury Dem” featuring MC Logan.

THE BETHS – “MACHINE”

New Zealand band The Beths have signed to ANTI- Records after three albums on Carpark. (Their most recent album is 2022’s terrific Expert in a Dying Field.) They’ve just shared their first single for the label, a lovely piece of janglepop titled “Metal.” Liz Stokes says, “There was a propulsion to the acoustic strumming pattern on the original demo. Tristan’s drums meet that feeling so perfectly, the feeling of a train pushing up the tracks. Jonathan got to play his Burns 12 string guitar as sparkly as he wanted, and Ben as usual can’t be contained to the lower register. I think we ended up with an arrangement that embodies the frenetic intricacy of an engine in action. There’s a lot going on, until there isn’t.”
