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.
PRIZE HORSE – “YOUR TIME”
Minneapolis’ Prize Horse are back with a heavy, atmospheric new single called “Your Time,” which they say is “a sign of what’s to come.”

FANCLUBWALLET – SMALL SONGS VOL. 1
Ottawa-based musician Hannah Judge is back with a new EP as fanclubwallet, Small Songs Vol. 1, out now via AWAL. It’s the follow-up to her 2022 debut You Have Got To Be Kidding Me, and a preview for more music she has on the way this year. “When I feel the smallest, I turn on my old casio keyboard and I make songs in the dark in my room,” she says. “This is how fanclubwallet started — just me and some crappy gear in my childhood bedroom. Recently I’ve been writing with my band more which has been amazing, but I wanted to get something out to remind myself of where things started when it was just me and no one else. These songs feel like anxiety bundled up and packaged ready to go, really truly honest fanclubwallet songs. What it sounds like with just me and my silly sad brain behind the wheel.”

KING CREOSOTE – “IT’S SIN THAT’S GOT ITS HOLD UPON US”
Scottish cult legend Kenny Anderson returns with his first King Creosote album, I DES, on November 3 via Domino and he’s just shared a new song from it. Says Anderson: “In Autumn 2020 I began building a modular synth, recording patches onto old cassette tapes to make use of the pitch wheel on my tape deck at a later date. As the drum track rumbled to a close, these words from one of Phil Crowter’s sermons burst forth exactly as you hear them, and I had my chorus. The four short verses ought to take on different meanings depending on the listeners’ particular choice of drugs – recreational (whimsical), prescribed (personal), or mandated (diabolical).”

You Black Emperor and And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead. Their 2018 debut was in Oh Sees territory but they’ve gotten much heavier since.
