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.
TY SEGALL – “MY BEST FRIEND”
Do you like dogs? So does Ty Segall and the video for his new single “My Best Friend” features his adorable dachshunds, Fanny and Herman. The song’s a keeper, too, and downright poppy. New album Three Bells is out January 26 via Drag City.

@ – “WEBCRAWLER”
Are You There God? It’s Me, @, the new EP from Baltimore duo @ (at), is out this Friday, and ahead of that they’ve shared the second single, “Webcrawler.” “The lyrics to ‘Webcrawler’ is highly influenced by computer programming and the process of automated tools (which can be conceived of as invisible robots) scraping data from websites, also known as crawling the web,” Stone Filipczak says. “The protagonist of the song is a search engine which has gone sentient, conceives of itself as a spider, and feels lonely because of its lack of connection to others. Musically the track is influenced by Sparks, Stereolab, and City Morgue.”

The first single is “Nocturnal Fire,” and they write, “Our deepest love & gratitude goes out to our brethren M. (Lamp of Murmuur) both for contributing to this track with a beautiful guitar solo, and for showing once again that the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.”

DANIELLE DURACK – “GOOD DOG”
Nashville-based singer-songwriter Danielle Durack’s new album Escape Artist is out in February, and the latest single is “Good Dog,” a melancholy ballad. “This was written from the perspective of my dog, who has separation anxiety,” she says. “Only after finishing the song did I make the connection that it was actually, of course, about me and my own abandonment issues. Turns out my dog and I have the same attachment style, so basically we’re in a codependent relationship.”

FAT DOG – “ALL THE SAME”
South London band Fat Dog signed to Domino last year and have now released their second single for the label.
