41 New Songs Out Today - Pop It Records

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.

SCHOOLBOY Q - "SOCCER DAD"

Schoolboy Q has released his first proper single since 2019, "Soccer Dad." Q does what he does best over what sounds like a vintage psychedelic soul sample, and if this is a preview of his next album, consider us excited to hear more.

TERROR - "BOUNDLESS CONTEMPT"

Hardcore vets Terror have shared the second single off their upcoming album Pain Into Power, and it's a manic rager that finds the band operating at breakneck speeds until about halfway through, when they slow things down for a coda that is sure to open up many pits on their upcoming tour. Get the album on limited royal blue/blue jay quad vinyl.

OUMOU SANGARÉ - "SIRA"

Malian music legend Oumou Sangaré has shared a new song, "Sira," off her upcoming album Timbuktu, due April 29 via World Circuit Records. It's a hypnotic, lively, refreshing song, and speaking about it, Oumou says, "Nature can betray you, and life can change at any time. A good person’s child may not resemble them…life is not always logical! The baobab’s trunk is smooth, but its fruits are rough."

SUKI WATERHOUSE - "WILD SIDE"

Suki Waterhouse will release her Brad Cook-produced debut album I Can't Let Go on May 6 via Sub Pop, and she's opening the just-announced Father John Misty tour. (She also has sold-out headlining shows in LA, San Francisco, and Brooklyn this May.) The album's new single is the warm, folky "Wild Side."

DÄLEK - "A HERETIC'S INHERITANCE" (ft. ADAM JONES of TOOL)

Industrial hip hop vets Dälek have shared a new song off their upcoming album Precipice (due 4/29 via Ipecac), and this one features Tool guitarist Adam Jones, who helps take Dälek into more overtly psychedelic territory than usual on this seven-minute song.

COME TO GRIEF - "DEVASTATION OF SOULS"

Come to Grief, the new iteration of Boston sludge legends Grief, are gearing up for their first album under this name, When The World Dies, which was produced by Converge's Kurt Ballou and features backing vocals on two tracks by Converge frontman J Bannon. They recently released "Life's Curse" (ft. Bannon) and have now shared "Devastation of Souls," another killer song that puts a fresh twist on this veteran band's sound. Hear the new song at MetalSucks and listen to the previous single below.

LIL SILVA - "BACKWARDS" (ft. SAMPHA)

Lil Silva and Sampha have collaborated a handful of times over the years, and now they've done so again on the thumping-yet-ethereal, soulful art pop of "Backwards."

SPICE - "RECOVERY"

Ceremony offshoot Spice have shared another song off their upcoming album Viv (due 5/20 via Dais), and it's a dose of soaring, post-punky indie rock.

COLA - "WATER TABLE"

"'Water Table' came from some experiments with bass chords," says Cola's Ben Stidworthy. "The guitar parts of the verse was an attempt to write something Tim would come up with and basically wrote itself. The guitar in the chorus was originally a harp sample played on a keyboard, which is why the working title was Dark Harp. It was the last song I wrote for the record at a moment when we were pretty sure what would end up on the record. I felt like the record needed the emotional note of a song like Water Table and the track flowed out of me. Tim sent it back to me with lyrics the next day so I knew it was gonna work." Cola, the trio featuring Stidworthy and Tim Darcy who were in Ought, release their debut album on May 20.

SUNFLOWER BEAN - I DON'T HAVE CONTROL SOMETIMES

NYC trio Sunflower Bean are back with new album Headfull of Sugar in May, and they've just released this catchy new single and (funny) video. “I’ve always thought that my reckless side was both a gift and a curse, leading me to my best choices on stage but my worst choices in life,” says Julia Cumming of the song's inspiration. “I don’t have control sometimes is the admission, acceptance, and almost celebration of the parts of yourself that are impulsive or maybe even insane.”

NORMA TANEGA - "MAGGIE MY DOG" & "ELEPHANTS ANGELS AND ROSES"

Late folk artist and musician Norma Tanega, whose 1960s song "You're Dead" is the theme to What We Do in the Shadows, is the subject of a new archival music collection, I'm The Sky: Studio and Demo Recordings, 1964-1971, due out May 6 and featuring her two studio albums, an unreleased album, and previously unheard demos. From that collection, you can now hear "Maggie My Dog," a demo found in her home that's being released for the first time, and "Elephants Angels and Roses," originally from her 1971 sophomore album I Don't Think it Will Hurt if You Smile.

THE LOYAL SEAS FT TANYA DONELLY - "SWIMMERS IN THE GOLD"

The Loyal Seas are the duo of Tanya Donelly (Belly, Throwing Muses) and Brian Sullivan (Dylan in the Movies) and will release their debut album, Strange Mornings in the Garden, on May 20 via American Laundromat Records. Donelly says new single "Swimmers in the Gold" is “one of those rare-ish ones when the words come together almost whole-cloth at once, easily inspired by Brian’s beautiful music and his lyrics in the chorus. Sarah Parkington’s pretty pizzicato on this one is perfect.”

MELODY'S ECHO CHAMBER - "ALMA"

Melody's Echo Chamber will release new album Emotional Eternal on April 29 which she made with members of Dungen. This new song "Alma" has a little Serge Gainsbourg "Initials BB" feel to it.

FROG EYES - "RAINBOW STEW"

"'Rainbow Stew' doesn't unpack as cleanly, in terms of a personal narrative, as the two other songs we've released for The Bees," says Frog Eyes frontman Casey Mercer, "but it is representative of one of the five kinds of songs that I can write — usually this type comes at the end of the writing process, when I have a sense of the shape and weight of the record. These songs come really fast — I think I wrote this song in 5 minutes — and they serve a contrasting purpose. I remember in (the 3 months that I attended) painting school, learning about Cezanne's White Pipe, how it livens the paintings, and also intensifies the gloom in the corners. 'Rainbow Stew' lightens the whole affair, and allows the dense haze of other songs their own beauty. These songs are the ones I personally cherish the most." Frog Eyes' new album, The Bees, is out April 29 via Paper Bag Records.

GRACE IVES - "LULLABY"

Brooklyn singer-songwriter Grace Ives has announced new album Janky Star which will be out on June 10 via True Panther/Harvest. The first single is the glitchy, poppy and fun "Lullaby." Grace describes it as "Living the same day over and over again. This song is about the comfort and anxiety that comes with isolating yourself. Homebody’s anthem."

SLANG - "COCKROACH IN A GHOST TOWN"

Slang, the Portland group that includes Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney, Quasi), Drew Grow (Modern Kin, Pastors’ Wives), Kathy Foster (The Thermals), and Anita Lee Elliot (Viva Voce), will release their anticipated debut album, Cockroach in a Ghost Town, on May 27 via Kill Rock Stars. Here's the anthemic title track.

THE ASTEROID NO. 4 - "SET YOUR SIGHTS" (ANDY BELL GLOK REMIX)

Veteran psych band The Asteroid #4 released Tones Of The Sparrow and now they've gotten Ride's Andy Bell to remix the song "Set Your Sights" via his electronic GLOK alter ego. “Andy is an absolute idol of ours," say the band. "Of all our influences, none came close to what Ride has meant to us. When we were young and just happening to be searching for something new, that's when those early Ride EPs just started trickling into our orbit. We are all total RIDE-heads and even more specifically for us guitarists in the band, Andy fans. Loved Hurricane #1, loved Oasis more with him than without him, love his solo work, love Glok...any and all of it! Dream come true.”

JEANINES - "WHO'S IN THE DARK"

NYC indiepop duo Jeanines release their second album, Don't Wait for a Sign, on April 22 and they've just shared the final song before letting the world hear the whole thing. "Who's in the Dark" is wistful, minor-key perfection in 84 seconds.

SWEET PILL - "HIGH HOPES"

Philadelphia band Sweet Pill have a new album, Where the Heart Is, on the way, due out May 25 via Topshelf Records. The lastest single is "High Hopes," which has an anthemic emo feel.

SCOUT GILLETT - "ONE TO TEN"

Brooklyn singer-songwriter Scout Gillet will release her debut EP, one to ten, later thi month and as just shared the lovely title song. "I wrote ‘one to ten’ a few years ago to my future self, at a time when I longed for true vulnerability,” says Scout. “It’s a track that encourages us to part ways with resistance and defy the urge to overanalyze – to let go. I wish for myself and my loved ones to experience true freedom in life and love, and this song expresses the beginning of that.” The EP also features covers of Broadcast, Brenda Lee, Blaze Foley, and Ferrante & Teicher.

SAM GENDEL & ANTONIA CYTRYNOWICZ - "SOMETHING REAL"

Sam Gendel and 11-year-old Antonia Cytrynowicz (who is the younger sister of Sam's significant other, Marcella) are releasing an album, Live A Little, on May 13 via Sylvan Esso's Psychic Hotline label. The album includes recent single "Wondering, Waiting" and they've just released another track, "Something Real," which is mysterious and ethereal. “It was one of those moments where we just happened to capture something pure and direct, without anything extra,” Sam says. "Antonia was able to say what needed to be said, and when that happens there's isn't room for anything else. I just kept repeating this simple musical idea and she used the space and time to spontaneously express what you hear when you truly listen. 'I just want to live it like it is.'"

WIZ KHALIFA, BIG K.R.I.T., SMOKE DZA & GIRL TALK - "AIN'T NO FUN"

Wiz Khalifa, Big K.R.I.T., Smoke DZA, and Girl Talk's collaborative album arrives this Friday, and here's one more single, "Ain't No Fun," which finds Khalifa, K.R.I.T., and DZA trading bars over a rubbery, West Coast-style bounce.

WORST PARTY EVER - "COOL LIFE"

Worst Party Ever released their debut album, Dartland, in December, and they've followed it with this melancholy new single, about which they write, "This song is an album in its own way. 1 minute and 16 seconds can share a lifetime of information."

S.G. GOODMAN - "ALL MY LOVE IS COMING BACK TO ME"

S.G. Goodman has shared another single off her upcoming sophomore album Teeth Marks, and it's a driving, jangly, Americana-tinged rock song.

ASTRONOID - "EYES"

MARIA CHIARA ARGIRÒ - "BLOSSOM"

TÓMARÚM - "CONDEMNED TO A LIFE OF GRIEF"

Georgia progressive black metal duo Tómarúm have shared the third single from their upcoming debut album for Prosthetic, and it's a ten-and-a-half minute song that really earns its lengthy running time.

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE - "KNOW YOUR ENEMY" (LIVE AT THE PALLADIUM)

Killswitch Engage are a great live band, so it's good news that they're releasing a new live album, Live at the Palladium, on June 3 via Metal Blade. The album was recorded at The Palladium in the band's home state of Massachusetts on August 6, 2021, and it features full performances of their latest album, 2019's Atonement, and their 2000 self-titled debut. The first single is a killer rendition of "Know Your Enemy."

RYANN - "LAST CALL"

NYC-born, Los Angeles-based songwriter and musician RYANN has shared an appealing new alt-pop single, "Last Call," which she says is "about the ever-changing nature of moving through your 20s.

”Golden Air” is the first single from Sun’s Signature, the collaboration between Cocteau Twins Elizabeth Fraser and her partner, Damon Reese of Massive Attack.

Hercules & Love Affair have shared new song "Poisonous Storytelling" from their upcoming album In Amber. It features ANHONI, and it's their first release together since their classic 2008 single, "Blind." "Poisonous Storytelling" is more a gothy, atmospheric mood setter a la Dead Can Dance than a disco banger, though, with pounding toms courtesy former Siouxsie & The Banshees / Creatures drummer Budgie.
