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.
WORSE OFF – “ALWAYS-LIFE CRISIS” & “TITLE, TRACK”

BICEP – “HELIUM”
UK dance duo BICEP launch their new CHROMA label with this new single. “HELIUM was written specifically for our London Ally Pally shows at the end of 2022,” says BICEP. “The show felt a little too sweet in certain sections and we wanted to add some more grit into the show.” They add that while it’s “a bit darker and more club-focused than most of our music we have released over the past few years,” it is “actually a pretty fair representation of what we’re listening to and playing in our dj sets.”

JJUUJJUU – “SOME” (FT BOOGARINS)
JJUUJJUU, the psychedelic project from Desert Daze Fest cofounder Phil Pirrone, has shared this new single featuring Brazilian band Boogarins. “We sent the track to Boogarins, who added a really beautiful bridge to the song, and vocals oscillating between English and Portuguese,” says Pirrone. “Something in this song recalls early childhood memories of Muppet Babies or Elton John ‘Benny and the Jets’… but in a really weird (but good) way. End result feels like a flower dancing on the sand under a Sao Paolo sun.”
