Another week has come and gone, and so you know what time it is. Gathering up all the best new tracks so nothing golden slips between the cracks of a busy new music Friday, stay up to date with The Big Indie Playlist.<\/a><\/p>\n In the world of albums, this week brought around the release of some hotly anticipated new offerings. NewDad shared their stunning record<\/a> Altar, while Wednesday delivered grunge greatness on Bleeds. But right here, we\u2019re all about the single, sharing a quick fix of the best new hits.<\/p>\n From artists big and small, there was some amazing new work this week. Miley Cyrus teamed up with two Fleetwood Mac icons for an incredible collaboration, and Keaton Henson returned with something heavier than we\u2019ve ever really heard from him. Meanwhile, in the world of up-and-comers, Etta Marcus and Aimee Fatale are names to pay attention to this week with two cinematic tracks.<\/p>\n Passing the mic to someone else to have a say too, we asked Leeds-based artist Rhiannon Hope to give us an insight into her playlist too, sharing the new tracks she\u2019s been loving.<\/p>\n All in one place, so you simply have to hit play, we\u2019ve done all the work for you \u2013 you\u2019re welcome. <\/p>\n Must-Hear: Curated by Rhiannon Hope<\/p>\n Ahead of the release of her debut EP, All Things Rising and Returning, next week, Leeds-based but Liverpool-born folk artist Rhiannon Hope is giving us a look into her listening habits of late, sharing a selection of new tracks she had on repeat. <\/p>\n Naima Bock \u2013 \u2018Takes One (Live)\u2019: Really one of my favourite musicians ever. I love the studio version of this song, but this version just has a certain warmth that you can only get when it\u2019s played live. I also love hearing the slight differences in performance between the studio and this version. Can\u2019t wait for the EP!<\/p>\n Stereolab \u2013 \u2018Fed Up With Your Job\u2019: I\u2019ve been really loving Stereolab\u2019s 2025 album, Instant Holograms on Metal Film, so these two recent songs have been such a treat so soon after the album\u2019s release. Stereolab remain reliably fun and catchy with \u2018Fed Up With Your Job\u2019, another amazing track that is instantly likeable. <\/p>\n Jerskin Fendrix \u2013 \u2018Together Again\u2019: Once Upon a Time in Shropshire is probably my most anticipated album of this year. I\u2019ve had all of the singles in the run-up to the album on repeat, and \u2018Together Again\u2019 is not an exception. This song is great \u2013 a really touching and sweet piano ballad with the occasional quirky vocal or nonsense lyric. I love Jerskin Fendrix, what a talented musician.<\/p>\n Green Gardens \u2013 \u2018I Was Here\u2019: Green Gardens have recently released their second album, Thistlesifting<\/a>, and this is one of the standout tracks for me! I love this song \u2013 it feels really vulnerable, which I appreciate, and it\u2019s super catchy \u2013 the chorus hook has been stuck in my head for weeks. We were lucky enough to support Green Gardens earlier this month for their album release party, and they\u2019re great live too \u2013 would definitely recommend.<\/p>\n Cate Le Bon \u2013 \u2018About Time\u2019: I cite Cate Le Bon as a huge influence of mine \u2013 another weird woman who I love a lot. \u2018About Time\u2019 is classic Cate Le Bon \u2013 floaty vocals and chugging guitars which I love a lot. Really excited for the new album and also loving her new hair cut too. <\/p>\n Aimee Fatale \u2013 \u2018Let\u2019s Just Get Married\u2019: Sharing her hotly awaited debut single<\/a>, Aimee Fatale opens up her cinematic world with this stylish track, taking inspiration from the love songs of the 1950s and \u201860s with a modern coolness. [4\/5]<\/p>\n Bog Band \u2013 \u2018Moonlighting\u2019: An Irish duo called Bog Band feel like they should be making proper traditional folk, but instead, they\u2019re cool, breezy, and almost surf-rock inspired on this new easy listening single. [3.5\/5]<\/p>\n Life Aquatic Band \u2013 \u2018Summer Rain\u2019: As one of Sheffield\u2019s most beloved acts, everyone knows that Life Aquatic Band will always deliver greatness. On this track, it\u2019s singer Jazmine Kelly\u2019s time to shine with some truly angelic vocals. [3.5\/5]<\/p>\n Keaton Henson \u2013 \u2018Insomnia\u2019: With each new chapter, you never really know what version of Keaton Henson you\u2019re going to get. Here, we\u2019re getting something louder and heavier as he steps back up to the mic after the ambient instrumentals of his previous record<\/a>. [4\/5]<\/p>\n Snooper \u2013 \u2018Pom Pom\u2019: Need a track to blow away the cobwebs of the week? Here you go. Play it loud and let your brain rattle. [3.5\/5]<\/p>\n Etta Marcus \u2013 \u2018Teenage Messiah\u2019: As Etta Marcus begins unveiling her upcoming EP, Devour, the tones are heavier and harsher. \u2018Teenage Messiah\u2019 is lush, cinematic and electrifying with a good dose of gothic energy. [4\/5]<\/p>\n Peace \u2013 \u2018Good Jeans\u2019: Back in 2023, Peace shared a whole new album on a password-protected website. Bit by bit, it\u2019s being added to streaming services and \u2018Good Jeans\u2019 is the latest offering, maintaining the band\u2019s old indie grip while balancing 2015 energy with 2025. [3\/5]<\/p>\n Mitski \u2013 \u2018Let My Love Open The Door\u2019: Shared for the soundtrack of Margot Robbie\u2019s new movie, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, Mitski delivers a simple and tender love song. Nothing more and nothing less, it\u2019s obvious, still beautiful because it\u2019s Mitski. [3\/5]<\/p>\n Wicca Phase Springs Eternal and Ethel Cain \u2013 \u2018Meet Me Anywhere\u2019: Ethel Cain fans are being well and truly treated this year. After releasing her sophomore album last month<\/a> and delivering Perverts at the start of the year, she\u2019s now added her voice to this gorgeous folk song. [4\/5]<\/p>\n Miley Cyrus, Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood \u2013 \u2018Secrets\u2019: Yes, you read that right. Miley Cyrus has teamed up with Fleetwood Mac, or at least two of them. Doing her finest Stevie Nicks for this track, it has real Rumours energy to it. [3.5\/5]<\/p>\n Bar Italia \u2013 \u2018Rooser\u2019: If you need to impress a typical hyper-cool performative male this weekend over some natural wine and small plates, tell them you love this new track from Bar Italia. [3\/5]<\/p>\n Mary In The Junkyard \u2013 \u2018Midori\u2019: It\u2019s been a while now since Mary In The Junkyard first emerged, but still, Clari Freeman-Taylor\u2019s voice is staggering and stunning each and every time. [3.5\/5]<\/p>\n Cardinals \u2013 \u2018Masquerade\u2019:\u00a0Irish troupe Cardinals have fans in high places<\/a>\u00a0as they\u2019ve been co-signed by Fontaines DC. Their earlier work was interesting and electrifying, merging traditional Irish sounds with Lou Reed-style rock. But as they now work towards the release of their debut, the maturity has stepped up, and so has the production level.
