There’s so much music coming out all the time that it’s hard to keep track. On those days when the influx of new tracks is particularly overwhelming, we sift through the noise to bring you a curated list of the most interesting new releases (the best of which will be added to our Best New Songs playlist). Below, check out our track roundup for Wednesday, March 25, 2026.
Gelli Haha – ‘Klouds Will Carry Me To Sleep’
Gelli Haha has shared a new song, ‘Klouds Will Carry Me To Sleep’, which is as colourful and trippy as its accompanying video. It arrives on the heels of the art-pop singer-songwriter’s debut album, Switcheroo, which landed last year.
Squirrel Flower – ‘Wheels’ [feat. Babehoven and Billie Marten]
Squirrel Flower has teamed up with Babehoven and Billie Marten for the new single ‘Wheels’, and you bet there’s some lovely harmonies in there. “‘Wheels’ was recorded live at 12am in a makeshift recording studio that we built in one day in Door County, WI,” Ella Williams explained. “The final vocal take was the original scratch take, sleepy and loose.”
“While on tour a couple years ago, a gas station attendant said to us, ‘may your wheels stay on the ground,’” she added. “I thought that was so beautiful + it inspired the song while driving through a harrowing snowstorm between Boston and the Hudson Valley in February 2025. I had my Townes Van Zandt live cd playing, and sang this song into my phone mic while listening to Townes, dodging ice on the highway. I really wanted to write a song that let my voice shine in a way that my heavier songs don’t always allow. I got to the Babehoven house in Hudson and played it for Maya. She wrote a stanza (‘You said you wanted/ Something I don’t/ I am always coming/ Just as you go’), helping me finish off the song.”
Two Shell – ‘Smile’
Two Shell have dropped a fired-up new song, ‘Smile’. It’s the A side of a new 12″ single that’s available now as a digital purchase and features the B-side ‘Hands Up’.
Snail Mail – ‘Tractor Beam’
Ahead of the release of her new album Ricochet, Snail Mail has unveiled a new single, ‘Tractor Beam’, which she debuted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. You can read about the song in our track-by-track review of the record.
Bedouine – ‘Long Way To Fall’
Bedouine has announced a new LP, Neon Summer Skin, with a tender, stirring ballad called ‘Long Way to Fall’. The follow-up to 2021’s Waysides is out June 5. “For my 20s and much of my 30s, I couldn’t sit still,” Bedouine shared. “I was so curious about my own independence that it just didn’t occur to me for the longest time to mourn the past. But after that trip to Saudi Arabia, I came home and was so devastated. I couldn’t place the feeling immediately, but as I started writing, I realized I was processing that I wasn’t ready to stop being somebody’s kid. My family has been split apart time and time again, immigrating between Armenia, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. I wanted to document and honor my family’s stories.”
Cheekface – ‘Black Site’
Cheekface have a new album on the way, Podium, previewing it today with the quotable, Killers-referencing ‘Black Site’. “I boycotted everything/ Nothing got better, it only got worse/ And now I don’t know where to buy soap,” vocalist/guitarist Greg Katz deadpans at the start.
Earl Sweatshirt, MIKE, SURF GANG – ‘Leadbelly’
Only a few songs on Earl Sweatshirt and MIKE’s upcoming double album, POMPEII / UTILITY, produced entirely by SURF GANG, actually finds the underground rappers teaming up. The woozy new single ‘Leadbelly’ is one of those tracks, and it’s lifted from UTILITY, Earl Sweatshirt’s half of the record.
Quiet Light – ‘Postinternetfame’ and ‘Self Tape’
Quiet Light has unveiled two mesmerizing songs, the dreamily infatuated ‘Postinternetfame’ and the more upbeat ‘Self Tape’, from her upcoming mixtape Blue Angel Sparkling Silver 2. “’Postinternetfame’ is about loving someone so much that you would do anything to make them stay,” she explained. “Ultimately, however, you know this is out of your control. My muse for this song was someone who really wanted to be famous and would do whatever it took to be famous. My favorite part in the song is when I talk about Jeff Buckley. He was so beautiful and passed so young.”
“There was this really great hill in my neighborhood in Dallas where I grew up. This hill was right next to my house,” she added of ‘Self Tape’. “I would ride my bike up and down this hill. Riding my bike up the hill was a bitch — but riding downhill, well, that was just like heaven. It would be too hot to ride my bike during the day in the Texas summer heat, but at sunset, it was the perfect temperature. This song feels like that. It feels like my first kiss with someone I really wanted. It feels like pure bliss.”
Miki Berenyi Trio – ‘Island of One’
Liush singer Miki Berenyi is back with a hypnotic new song from her Miki Berenyi Trio, ‘Island of One’. “Island of One’ took shape because I became quite obsessed with the track ‘Just a Western’ by Nilüfer Yanya last year, and the Latin-y beat got me inspired,” Berenyi explained. “But I wanted a lively, catchy song to add to our live set, so it ended up less laidback and more 60s-breezy with some driving, scratchy guitars — once all three MB3 members pile in on the embellishments, a song ends up a fair distance from where it started! As ever, recording and production took place in our various home-studio set-ups, and the song was mixed by our brilliant Bella Union labelmate, Paul Gregory…”
“Lyrically, I’m at the age where a lot of my friends have elderly parents who are increasingly reliant on their help,” she continued. “It’s a new phase in a life relationship and can throw up a lot of emotions. But the words apply as much to all manner of family break-ups and the fraying of long-standing friendships. When you’re young, it’s much easier to justify walking away, but I’m acutely aware, as I get older of how important even a thread of connection with people who have shared our lives can be, however difficult those relationships can be to maintain!”
Johanna Samuels – ‘White Limousine’ [feat. Courtney Marie Andrews]
Los Angeles songwriter Johanna Samuels has returned with a new single, ‘White Limousine’, featuring vocals from Courtney Marie Andrews. Marking her signing with Odd Man Out Recordings, it was produced by Jonathan Rado. “It was in a white limousine,” she recalled. “A friend had rented one for her 15th birthday and I felt a pressure rising within myself to be inauthentic that night. I felt a sense of dread come over me, like I was unsafe. I could feel myself growing apart from myself.
“I have found that in the pursuit of art in my adult life, the marketization of the medium and the social setup of the musical community has brought this same feeling up again and again,” she added. “I’ve found myself having to recenter values when I find myself drifting from my authentic heart. I’ve learned that if you don’t make a practice of it, life will recenter your path for you (to remind you who is in charge). This route is oftentimes much less graceful and not as peaceful.”
Hiss Golden Messenger – ‘Shaky Eyes’
Hiss Golden Messenger – the North Carolina-based project of MC Taylor – has shared a driving folk-rock tune, ‘Shaky Eyes’, from his new album I’m People. Opening up about it, Taylor said: “Do we stick with the sure bet? Or, do we gamble on possibility, never knowing how winning is apt to change things we never even considered? Or: Do we drift in the in-between?I grew up in California and big western skies are something that color my dreams still. They make me feel small and ambiguous, and they feel like home. This song is indebted—in title if nothing else—to Lou Mathews’ novel Shaky Town, a piece of work that feels Los Angeles, the Southland, deeply and lovingly. This tune was also written in Santa Fe under a neon mezcal moon.”
