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.
TIMELOST – “ETERNAL VIBE”

AMANDA PALMER – “THE BALLAD OF THE NEW YORK TIMES”

LAURA JANE GRACE – “CUFFING SEASON”
After appearing with Dinosaur Jr. at night five of their Brooklyn residency, Laura Jane Grace has shared another track from her new album Hole In My Head. “I think as you get older and go through life’s hurts and heartbreaks, it gets harder and harder to let yourself be open and vulnerable,” she says.”“But when you do, it can be so worth it even if you just end up hurt and heartbroken again. In the end, I don’t think you regret those kinds of losses. I think you regret not trying.”

HOVVDY – “BUBBA”
Following last month’s “Jean,” Hovvdy have shared another new single, “Bubba,” which Charlie Martin says “tells a story from two perspectives: the brother (Bubba) and his sister. It’s about sibling-hood in the midst of really hard times and getting through it all together. I was lucky to have my older brother through all our childhood shit, and I can’t imagine how it would’ve gone without him. But still it’s tough and time flies and we grow older and process in our own ways; and this song is about how that feels.”
