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.
DRILL – “WITHIN REASON”

ANNA CALVI – “MIQUELON”
Anna Calvi releases Peaky Blinders: Season 5 & 6 (Original Score) this week. “What I learnt most from writing for Peaky Blinders is to trust my instincts,” Anna says. “I realised I shouldn’t be afraid of simplicity, and I shouldn’t assume that if something happens quickly, that the quality is compromised. This whole experience was so wonderful and so intense. I’m so proud of my scores for Peaky Blinders and I would love for this work to be a signpost for future generations of female composers.” “Miquelon” si both atmospheric and a showcase for Calvi’s formidable axe skills.
