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.

MALLRAT – “PAVEMENT”

Mallrat’s new album Light hit my face like a straight right arrives next month, and she’s shared another single from it, chill, glitchy “Pavement.” “I love this song because there are two very contrasting samples in it,” she says. “Cub Sport are a band from my hometown Brisbane and my best friends. I have been obsessed with ‘Beg U’ since Tim from Cub Sport sent me the demo a few years ago. Tim and Sam from the band are married and their first dance was to a Buddy Ross song. So ‘Pavement’ feels very full circle. Sampling is my favorite thing about making music, even more so than writing lyrics. It’s exciting to be able to imagine sounds in new ways, even if it’s just sampling my own voice. It builds a story and injects vivid characters into the song; it feels more from my heart.”
