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.
FULL OF HELL - AURORA LEAKING FROM AN OPEN WOUND
Full of Hell recently dropped this three-song EP as a tour-only release and now it's available on Bandcamp. It's got three tracks and the whole thing absolutely rips.

NICK HAKIM - "FEELING MYSELF"
Nick Hakim's new album Cometa is out this week and here's one last early taste before the whole thing drops. “I've never really written anything that's like that in terms of the personas," says of "Feeling Myself".

SOFT KILL FT. RUTH RADELET - "THE LINE"
"Last fall, Soft Kill reached out to me about a possible collaboration, and sent over a few instrumentals," Ruth Radelet says.

DAZY - "ON MY WAY"

--
GAY MEAT - "BED OF EVERY"
Gay Meat, the solo project of Karl Kuehn, who sang in Museum Mouth and played in a late-period lineup of Say Anything, has shared another track off his upcoming EP Bed of Every, and this one's more of a grungy slow-burner compared to the punky power pop of lead single "Heart Shaped Flail."
--
TENCI - "SOUR CHERRIES"
The latest single from Chicago-based band Tenci's new album A Swollen River, A Well Overflowing is the swaying "Sour Cherries," which frontperson Jess Shoman says "is very simply about succumbing to the bittersweet feelings of love."

The video, directed by Ben Chappell & Zackery Michael, was shot at their recent Brooklyn show at Kings Theatre, where the songs become even more AM-like with the strings stripped away and more guitars.

“I come back to Sandro’s music as something to sing to at the crossroads moments of my life in music,” says Dan Bejar of this new Destroyer collab with Sandro Perri. “There is something about the landscape Sandro lays out – it's a world in which things become imminently singable. A lotta room to roam, and all of it good.”
