7 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.

THUNDERCAT – “I WISH I DIDN’T WASTE YOUR TIME” / “CHILDREN OF THE BAKED POTATO” (FT. REMI WOLF)

RENNY CONTI – “VALLEY FORD”

Brooklyn singer-songwriter Renny Conti has signed to Mom + Pop Music and released his first song for the label. “Valley Ford was written after a trip I took to visit my parents at their home in Sonoma one winter,” Renny says. “My girlfriend and I took their car up the coast through Bodega Bay, wearing my parents’ trench coats, and walked down some rickety stairs through the fog and rocks to the ocean, and on the way back, I got an ocular migraine. I couldn’t see anything and it started storming. It was initially recorded for my last record, but it wasn’t fully complete at the time. After showing the unfinished version to some friends, I realized it just needed a couple more elements to be finalized. The lap steel and lead guitars in the middle and the big fuzzy blown out guitars at the end really brought it together and were the cherry on top, in my eyes. After those were added, I loved it.”

AVERY TUCKER – “MY LIFE ISN’T LEAVING YOU”

Avery Tucker (formerly of Girlpool) releases his debut solo album Paw next month, and the latest single is the emotional “My Life Isn’t Leaving You,” which he co-produced with A.G. Cook. “A lot of the songs on Paw are about being in a sea storm while I’m steering the boat trying to survive,” he says. “The song ‘My Life Isn’t Leaving You,’ is a song on the album that answers a larger question: Why journey through the storm? This song explores my devotion. How far will I go? It’s about my attachment to my own desire, and the reason I’ll do it, ‘I can tell my life isn’t leaving you, it’s not supposed to.’”
