16 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.

THE LAST DINNER PARTY – “THE SCYTHE”

The second single from The Last Dinner Party’s anticipated new album From The Pyre is “The Scythe.” “This song began 9 years ago, like a prophecy,” Abigail Morris says. “I wrote it before I had known anything of grief or heartbreak, how a relationship ending feels exactly the same as that person dying. Once you know how it feels to lose someone you enter a new realm from which you can never return. You’re trying to reach them telepathically through psychics or song lyrics (sometimes those two become the same) and sometimes they give you a reply. It can take 9 years to realise you’re even grieving at all but once you do you see them everywhere – in a robin, in a street fox, in a Wim Wenders film. The Scythe comes for everyone and you shouldn’t be afraid about what’s on the other side. The music video for ‘The Scythe’ is one of our proudest and most intimate. From one angle it’s a celebration of all the relationships that make it so far you both feel like you can live forever, from another it’s the fantasy of imagining what it would look like if your parents had been able to grow old together.”

MACHINE GIRL – “RABBIT SEASON”

Machine Girl announced a new album, Psychowarrior: MG Ultra X, which they describe as “the fucked up, ugly, big sister album to 2024’s MG Ultra. IT’s due out on October 24 via Future Classic, and about new single “Rabbit Season,” Matt Stephenson says, “with Machine Girl’s lyrics, I’ll take some dystopian or dark subject matter and flip it into something more lighthearted. I took the concept of conspiracy rabbit holes and used it to make a bouncy dance track. It discusses the cartoonish world of conspiracies and false, subjective realities people are trapping themselves inside of.”
