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.
HOLY FUCK – “ELEVATE”

She did, and she added her Feist magic to it, which is undeniable.”

MARIA BC – “NIGHT & DAY”
Maria BC’s new album Marathon is out later this month, and they’ve shared another single, “Night & day.” “I imagined this as a kind of lonesome cowboy song, an ode to the night,” they say. “When his workday is over and the sun’s gone down, he can be with the one he loves, and speak freely, feel deeply. This time is so precious to him, he often gets carried away and clings to it desperately. Then the morning brings shame, stupor, new longing. One of my favorite moments of the album comes toward the end of this song, when Cole’s saxophone comes in with a falling pitch.”
