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.
M83 – “MIRROR”
M83 have shared rarity “Mirror” which was recorded during the Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming sessions and was originally released as a hidden track “found only as a secret download in the packaging of the CD” and later released as a Record Store Day 7″. “It’s a track that never came out digitally and we close our shows with that song,” says Anthony Gonzalez. “The response of the audience has been great so far, and it’s an unknown song that deserves to be properly released in my opinion.”

It’s been more than an honour to be associated with it in some way.”
