21 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.

LIMP BIZKIT – “MAKING LOVE TO MORGAN WALLEN”

ALLIE X – “IS ANYBODY OUT THERE?”

Allie X has shared her first new music of the year, new single “Is Anybody Out There?” “Every so often, I was drawn away from my computer, toward the piano,” she says. “I was hearing these melodies and words that were totally out of place for Girl With No Face – barely intelligible, as if a different person was writing them. Last summer, between tours, I found myself creatively restless. So I gave myself a challenge: to sift through this fragmented three-year archive of voice memos and try to turn them into actual songs.”

Chelsea Wolfe appeared as a guest on two new albums out today. She lends her voice to Ho99o9’s “Immortal,” which actually sounds more like a Chelsea Wolfe song that Ho99o9 raps over than the other way around, and she also appears on “All Midnights” off the new album by Venera (aka Korn guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer and composer/filmmaker Chris Hunt), which kinda goes in a haunting trip-hop direction.

—

YUMI ZOUMA – “DRAG”

Yumi Zouma announced their fifth album, No Love Lost to Kindness, due out January 30 via Nettwerk. They’ve also gave us a preview with “Drag,” about which they say, “We wanted the song to feel like slowly rotating in sludge and then screaming the most anthemic chorus at the top of your lungs. Hooks from a 1998 issue of Smash Hits are covered with samples and industrial synth arpeggios from the nonexistent soundtrack of the crossover prequel for RoboCop and The Fifth Element, featuring Silverchair, Shihad, Garbage, Stellar*, Evanescence, and Placebo.”

THE NUDE PARTY – “SWEETHEART OF THE RADIO”

Look who’s back — it’s The Nude Party with new album Look Who’s Back that will be out February 13, 2006. “This song is about a truck driver who is so lonely he falls in love with a country singer on the radio,” says the band’s Shaun Couture of the album’s first single. “I’ve always been fascinated with truck drivers, and as a touring musician, our lives are not that far off from a trucker’s. We travel endless highways, we walk into empty truck stops in the middle of the night to hear a steel guitar on the radio, and we are away from loved ones for long periods of time. There’s something sad and beautiful about that life all at the same time, and I was trying to convey the essence of that lifestyle within this song.”

RACHEL CHINOURIRI – “WHAT A LIFE”

“I have had ‘What A Life’ for a while and thought it was super special,” Rachel Chinouriri says of “What a Life,” a bonus track to her March EP Little House. “I think it ties together the whole EP well and before I move on to my next phase of music. I love being able to express how I feel being in love with someone and feel lucky I’ve been able to have this experience.”
