18 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.

EL MICHELS AFFAIR & BLACK THOUGHT – “GLORIOUS GAME”

The title track of El Michels Affair and Black Thought’s upcoming album Glorious Game is another fine fusion of El Michels Affair’s vintage soul and Black Thought’s timeless rhyming.

KOMMAND – “GLOBAL DEATH”

LA death metallers Kommand have shared another taste of their upcoming LP for 20 Buck Spin, Death Age, and this is an especially beastly, slow-paced song that vocalist Jesse Sanes says is “slightly different than what we normally do,” adding, “It’s about a parasitic elite gutting an entire planet.”

PYNCH – “LONDON”

One of our Artists To Watch in 2023, London band Pynch release their debut album, Howling at a Concrete Moon, on April 14 and here’s a second track from it. “As a young person, it can sometimes feel like we’ve been cheated in a way and denied some of the more traditional milestones that come with growing up,” says frontman Spencer Enock. “Even though I’ve written it about London, I think people are feeling similar things in cities all over the world and this song is an exploration of that. It’s quite bleak subject matter but we’ve tried to approach it in a playful way.”

—

NICK WATERHOUSE – “LATE IN THE GARDEN”

“This came out quickly, on a gut string Gibson guitar I’d grabbed propped up against a baffle in the studio in Valdosta, Georgia,” says Nick Waterhouse of his new song. “This is the kind of tune that starts life as a poem in the notebook and as the sessions unfolded and my fingers unconsciously found the rhythmic pocket all of it made as much sense as the epiphany unfolding in the words.” Nick’s new album The Fooler is out April 1 via Innovative Leisure.

—

IMAAD WASIF – “MR. FEAR, SO LONG” (MONEY MARK REWORK)

“Reworking this gem of a song from Imaad was a complete pleasure,” says Money Mark who completely overhauled the song, right down to the title which has a few words inverted. He turned it into a bouncy bit of ’70s pop.
