23 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.

FACS – “YOU FUTURE”

FACS’ new album Wish Defense is out in a couple weeks and the band have shared another track from it, “You Future,” which is the final song on the record. The band say: “The final track is also the final action, look in the mirror and ask the questions. It’s a future self talking to a ‘you’ from the past, assessing the path up until this point, questioning who you are. We bookended the album with the two songs that felt the most vulnerable and I think that really works with this idea of examining and challenging who you are and the perception of who you are.”

COURTING – “AFTER YOU”

Liverpool post-punk group Courting have shared a new song from their forthcoming album Lust for Life, Or: ‘How To Thread The Needle And Come Out The Other Side To Tell The Story’ which is out in March. “”After You” was the first song that we wrote for Lust for Life,” says frontman Sean Murphy-O’Neill. “It is an exercise in direct songwriting, an attempt to create something very straightforward. We wanted the wall of guitars and the drums to feel almost hypnotic. A lot of the album is about the idea of duality, and lyrically – the song can be read in either a stalkerish voice or a romantic voice. It’s all up to you.”

PAN AMSTERDAM – “DAY OUT” FEAT. LERON THOMAS

“When I originally wrote the lyrics to ‘Day Out,’ I had previously been scrolling on social media and saw this story of a white mother making her interracial daughter do a bunch of tricks for the camera to keep her mother posting viral content,” Pan Amsterdam says of “Day Out” featuring Leron Thomas. “Much of it against the daughter’s will. My own daughter is interracial and although as parents we would never do something like this to our child, it made me wonder how often this sort of thing happens behind closed doors. But when making my music I try not to preach too much. So I decided to lead with a lyric that expressed my frustration and then dance my way out of the constriction, as George Clinton puts it. The assimilation tactics, the frustration of the mundane worldly redundancies, and the triumph of creativity and expression through frequency is what it seems like I was after, here.”

THE MEN – “PO BOX 96”

“Every once in a while a song appears fully formed to its writer,” says The Men’s Nick Chiericozzi. “Mr. Postman dropped a good one in my mailbox. Solicitations written in hilarious fonts with odd punctuation, appealing to my sense of security on dark blue paper with black ink are gifts from the universe. The music came right away, albeit with a little more effort than opening an envelope. Rich Samis thought the chorus went ‘Thank God for PO Box 96.’ It doesn’t.”
The Men’s new album Buyer Beware is out February 28 via Fuzz Club.

ADRIAN YOUNGE – “A MÚSICA NA MINHA FANTASIA”

“Something About April III is the album I wanted to make when I created the first album in 2011,” Adrian Younge says of his new album. “However, I didn’t have the musical knowhow and experience to create the sound that was buried deep in my soul. Essentially, SAA III is the album that has taken me fifteen years to uncover and fully realize. From a cratediggers’ perspective, it’s the album I’ve been diggin’ for in the deepest crates of my soul. A lost album I finally found. I hope this LP resonates with you as much as it has for me.”
