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.
SHIT ROBOT – “NO CIGAR” + ADRIAN SHERWOOD DUB
Longtime DFA artist Shit Robot (Marcus Lambkin) teamed up with Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and Al Doyle for this new single that owes just a smidge to The Normal’s “Warm Leatherette” but with more groove and less subzero teutonic-ness. There’s also a killer dub version by legend Adrian Sherwood.

AVERY TUCKER – “LIKE I’M YOUNG”
Avery Tucker, formerly of Girlpool, has announced his debut solo album, Paw, due out on October 10 via Sunkiss. He’s shared “Like I’m Young,” which he calls “probably one of the most emotionally raw songs I’ve ever written,” adding, “There are lines in the song I remember writing and thinking ‘I won’t keep this in.’ I decided to take this song to the edge of myself at the time, and whenever I play the song live I walk alongside that cliff within me and feel the height.”

This song is about growth, with a nod to motherhood and our own little wildflower. Tiny, yet somehow reaching the infinite sky.”

AUTOMATIC – “MERCURY”
There’s a warmth to “Mercury” that you may not associate with coldwave loving LA trio Automatic. “Mercury” got a groovy synth bass and nice use of the breakbeat from Billy Preston’s “Uptight.” New album Is It Now? is out September 26.
