18 New Songs Out Today

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.

MAN/WOMAN/CHAINSAW – “MADDOG”

London’s Man/Woman/Chainsaw will release a new 7″ single on May 25 via So Young Records and have just shared the b-side. “Maddog” is a soulful rock song that goes in surprising directions. “Mad Dog talks about losing a friend and watching them become everything you thought they wouldn’t,” says singer Vera Leppänen. “We wrote the song as two parts, the pissed off bit and the sad/nostalgic bit, and recorded it with a quick turnaround which was fairly new to us.”

MAIYA BLANEY – “RECOGNIZE ME”

NYC singer-songwriter and producer Maiya Blaney has announced a new album, A Room With A Door That Closes, due out June 13 via Lex Records. She’s also shared a new preview, the rousing, cathartic “Recognize Me,” which she calls “the bedroom hairbrush anthem my 16-year-old self needed more than anything. I felt it in the moment the song came out of me, cause that’s who it felt like was talking. Was very reactive in that moment and pubescent, and allowing myself to be. Allowing myself to expel myself not just from my situation, but from myself, in order to make room for the new.”

BC CAMPLIGHT – “WHERE YOU TAKING MY BABY?

BC Camplight has announced new album A Sober Conversation which will be out June 27 via Bella Union. The song deals with heavy subject matter, when he was abused as a child by an adult camp counselor, but lets in a little light via the widescreen production. “I had spent 30 years being terrified to open that door, and afraid of the price I’d pay once I had, BC says. “I’ve opened the door. To some extent this album is what was on the other side. I hope it helps me but this album is also for everyone that is having trouble finding their bravery, finding themselves.”
