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.
KH (FOUR TET) - "LOOKING AT YOUR PAGER"
Four Tet's Kieran Hebden has released a new song under his KH moniker, and it's a buzzing, thumping song built around a pitched-up sample of 3LW's 2000 single “Baby I’ma Do Right."

PORCUPINE TREE - "HERD CULLING"
