So many artists, 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.--

"We feel Spanish listeners will probably easily identify the references and the aesthetic exercise we’ve tried to crystallize, but we thought it could be harder for non-Spanish listeners to fully understand it," they say. "We thought it would be interesting to share a piece in English, commenting on some of the influences that helped us write the song, as well as introducing a couple of Andalusian musical references."
