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 REDS, PINKS & PURPLES – “WORTHY OF LOVE”
“This album is probably about learning to live with your ghosts and trying to be alive in the present,” says Glenn Donaldson who is The Reds, Pinks & Purples. ”There’s a certain kind of big-sounding record I aspire to make, like California by American Music Club or 16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens, works that steer into the pain but become a transportational device for the listener.” New album Acknowledge Kindness is out April 24 and “Worthy of Love” is the wistful new single.

SLOW CRUSH – “QUE DU NOIR” & “HALLOWED”
Slow Crush have unveiled two b-sides from the recording albums for their 2025 album Thirst. Vocalist Isa says “Que Du Noir” is “perhaps the darkest and most intense song we have ever written. When it first took shape, I couldn’t make it through a single take without breaking down. Every time I sang the lyrics, I was overcome with emotion. It was born in Mykonos, Greece, during one of the warmest, most light drenched weeks of my life. A striking contrast to the darkness it carries within.”

THE SILVER – “MEMORIAS”
The Silver’s second album, Looking Glass Hymnal Blue, arrives later this month, and they’ve given us another preview with “Memorias.” Drummer Enrique Sagarnaga says, “‘Memorias’ (spanish: Memories) is a song that reflects my experiences of personal growth and reflection while living in La Paz, Bolivia, and making sense of my Catholic upbringing when I was a teenager. Two churches there had an impact on me: Parroquia Santuario Inmaculada Concepción del Monticulo, and the Basilica of San Francisco. Aside from being places of worship, these churches were also places of extreme misery. I specifically remember that when the church let out from the Basilica, it became a frenzy of begging and busking – tons of locals clamoring to enter the doors and ask for both forgiveness and help. The Basilica, much like its Latin American contemporaries, has a complicated history intrinsically linked to the colonial forced labor practices of the time. The fact that Indigenous Aymara people constructed it under the guise of Catholicism affected me. At night, both of these places transformed into locations where young schoolchildren would meet to socialize and be with their sweethearts. At the Basilica in particular, the huge courtyard became a night market where people drank until dawn.”

CASS MCCOMBS & CHRIS COHEN – “STEEL RESERVE” & “IGNIS FATUUS, HINKYPUNK, SHARKFINS AND AMBERGRIS”
“Chris composed the music and I did the words,” Cass McCombs says of the two songs on his new collaborative single with Chris Cohen. “Our longtime friend and mutual collaborator Trevor Shimizu drew the artwork. Chris has weaved throughout my music over the years — he played guitar on my first LP, A, as well as on ‘County Line’, he co-produced Interior Live Oak, and he is a remarkable musician and songwriter. Both songs are somewhat cracked meditations on dignity. ‘Steel Reserve’ explores the bushes, hidden away. Public life has nothing to offer dignity. ‘Ignis Fatuus’ is a pirate’s treasure collected from an Earth stained with blood and madness — stolen from W.B. Yeats.”
