12 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.

HERMANOS GUTIÉRREZ & LEON BRIDGES – “ELEGANTLY WASTED”

A few years back Leon Bridges collaborated with Khruangbin and now he’s teaming up with another chill group, Hermanos Gutiérrez. “We’ve always been fans of Leon’s style and his way of approaching music,” Hermanos Gutiérrez say. “When we were in Nashville together last November, we had a window of maybe four hours before our show at the Ryman that night, but managed to finish a song we’d been working on for months. Leon showed up, and he heard the track for the first time at the studio together with Dan Auerbach, the whole team of Easy Eye Sound and Leon’s crew. He took a microphone, and he just started to sing a melody over it. It sounded like an angel. We all expected him to crush it with his first note, and he did. And he wasn’t even singing lyrics; he was just singing whatever felt natural. It was such an incredible moment, and then he got together with Dan, and they wrote the lyrics.”

SYDNEY MINSKY SARGEANT (WORKING MENS CLUB) – “LONG ROADS”

Working Men’s Club’s Sydney Minsky Sargeant has shared a second single from his upcoming solo debut. “I don’t want to sound all hippy dippy, but this album helped me realise it’s ok to love and say that within a song because it’s a true and honest feeling and one that I’m not embarrassed to admit or accept,” he says. “But it’s also ok to say I got some stuff wrong and I’m no perfect person. I’m just living each day trying to make sense of the world around me.”

RUNO PLUM – “LEMON GARDEN”

Minnesota-based singer and songwriter runo plum has signed to Winspear and released her first single for the label. “Lemon Garden” is as pleasingly aromatic as its title. “This song is me dreaming and longing for friendship,” she says. “I imagine living in a giant old house in the middle of the woods, hosting my friends and feeling pure bliss. I’ve had little glimpses of this over the past few years but I currently live pretty isolated from the world. There’s a beautiful 12 string on this that adds such fullness to the song, which feels really representative of the community/friendship theme.”
