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.
PEGGY GOU & LENNY KRAVITZ – “I BELIEVE IN LOVE AGAIN”

HAHA – “NO PROMISES”
Following their debut single “Only Gets Better,” Azure Ray’s Maria Taylor and producer Mike Bloom have shared another track from their HAHA project, “No Promises.” “It’s about diving into beauty, while also exploring our tendency towards self-destructive behaviors, and navigating the ripples that are sure to follow,” Bloom says. Taylor adds, “We had a slightly different approach with this one, taking each of our melodies and weaving them together, but also making sure to keep the retrospective aesthetic. Our previous single made me want to take a long summer drive with the windows down and this song makes me want to dance.”

ROSIE TUCKER – “UNENDING BLISS”
Rosie Tucker is back with a new single, “Unending Bliss,” which they say “is about petty personal beef and, simultaneously, about my fury at the material conditions that encourage us to treat each other like crap in order to survive. The lyrics are important: the skipping stone lays out the precarious momentum of rage alongside an underhanded warning to those of us living in glass houses.”

ELEPHANT STONE – “HISTORY REPEATING”
“History has a haunting tendency to repeat itself, from the scars of colonialism to the rise of authoritarian regimes,” says Elephant Stone frontman and songwriter Rishi Dhir. “It’s as if we’re trapped in a loop, forever replaying the same tragedies. ‘History Repeating’ is my way of confronting these harsh realities, particularly as they relate to my home country of Canada, which was built on the deeply troubling foundations of genocide and ethnic cleansing targeted at Indigenous peoples. In recent years, thanks to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the appalling truths about our past have been laid bare…This song serves as an urgent plea: let’s break the cycle. Let’s learn from the darkest chapters of our history to create a more just and compassionate future.” New album Back into the Dream is out in February.
