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 Tuesday, March 31, 2026.
Beth Orton – ‘The Ground Above’
Sprawling over eight and a half minutes, ‘The Ground Above’, Beth Orton’s first new single in four years, is gentle yet gripping. Its buildup is as subtle as its emotional fluctuations. “Remember when we hitched that ride/ Dancing in the full beam light/ Remember when I thought that I could change,” she sings. In a statement, the singer-songwriter remarked: “We are all vulnerable beings living out invincible lives.”
Lambrini Girls – ‘Cult of Celebrity’
Lambrini Girls are back with a rambunctious, sneering new song called ‘Cult of Celebrity’. “The age old tale of selling your soul to the devil has been fabled accounts of high society for years,” the band commented. “However, due to recent events come to light – it turns out that the elite are very much actually the devil incarnate, baby eating, pedos. What a fucking surprise! They had no souls to sell in the first place.”
Dry Cleaning – ‘Sliced by a Fingernail’
Dry Cleaning’s latest album Secret Love is just a few months old, but the band is already back with a fresh track, ‘Sliced by a Fingernail’. As the title suggests, it’s particularly prickly in a way that’s disquieting. Describing its protagonist, Florence Shaw said: “A lot of attention makes them feel sliced up. So they fantasize about being hidden inside a huge flower bud and about being anonymous in a crowd at night. The image of a brown mark from a finger nail pressed into a petal inspired some of the lyrics. I thought about peony buds not opening and then browning, and their tightness. The lyrics were also inspired by illustrator Jooyoung Kim’s picture book about a dog who has a long body, called ‘Welcome to My Life.’”
MUNA – ‘Big Stick’
MUNA have already released a couple of great singles from their forthcoming LP Dancing on the Wall. But the strutting, furious ‘Big Stick’ is available on Bandcamp for just the next 48 hours to raise money for Pal Humanity. As the group explains, “‘Big Stick’ is the most overtly political song that we’ve put out. For that reason, it felt right to use this moment and track as an opportunity to raise funds for an organization that means a lot to us, Pal Humanity. Pal Humanity is a comprehensive mutual aid organization providing communities in the north and south of Gaza with essential supplies, medical care, and a school for grades K-12.”
Jeff Parker ETA IVtet – ‘Like Swimwear (part one)’
Jeff Parker’s jazz quartet ETA IVtet have announced a new album, Happy Today, out May 15 via International Anthem. It comprises two 20-minute-plus songs and was tracked at the Lodge Room in Los Angeles. Today, they’ve shared the first half of ‘Like Swimwear’. “2025 was a very difficult year for me and my family,” Parker reflected. “Dealing with being displaced from the Eaton fires for eight months, and the kind of toll that instability took on my family’s mental health and general outlook, coupled with Donald Trump being back in office and basically making life miserable for everyone… There was a lot of sadness and despair. But feeling the sense of community that we created with our concert, and later hearing the recording, seeing the beautiful footage that had been shot and the photographs of such joy to be back in that space and to be making music again: It was a very happy moment. So I called the record Happy Today. It’s meant to be a statement of joy.”
Friko – ‘Still Around’
Friko have shared another riveting preview of their sophomore album, Something Worth Waiting For. Compared to ‘Seven Degrees’ and ‘Choo Choo’, ‘Still Around’ is especially bouncy. You won’t have to wait long to hear the rest of the record; it’s out April 24 via ATO Records.
Greg Mendez – ‘Gentle Love’ and ‘Frog’
Greg Mendez has shared a lovely pair of songs from his recently announced LP Beauty Land. ‘Gentle Love’ is as sweet as you’d expect, but it bleeds into the briefly sentimental ‘Frog’ in a way that’s strangely poignant.
knitting – ‘I Want to Remember Everything’
Montreal’s knitting have announced their sophomore album, Souvenir, set for release on June 26. The ominously nostalgic ‘I Want to Remember Everything’ “was one of the first songs that really came together for the album,” according to frontperson Mischa Dempsey. “It draws inspiration from the movies, music and TV that made me feel really seen as a kid, but that maybe my friends weren’t so into. My dad had a lot of random songs and music videos on our family computer that he’d downloaded from Limewire, one of them being a fan video edit of a Linkin Park song that me and my siblings would watch on repeat. That was a big inspiration for the overall feel of this song, along with the 1996 movie ‘Harriet the Spy’. “I Want to Remember Everything” is a love letter to the weirdo I was when I was a kid, and as a way to try to reconnect with the parts of myself I hid away as I was growing up.”
Knumears – ‘Untitled’
Knumears have unleashed a ferocious burst of a song, ‘Untitled’. It’s the final preview of their debut album, Directions, arriving this Friday via Run For Cover Records and Summer Shade.
villagerrr – ‘Swimming’
villagerrr have dropped ‘Swimming’, another breezy tune from their forthcoming record Carousel. The band is currently touring with Ratboys, and the new song is easygoing yet confrontational in a way that Julia Steiner’s writing tends to be. According to villagerrr’s Mark Allen Scott, it’s “about learning to communicate, express, and process your emotions in a healthy way.”
SLIFT – ‘A Storm of Wings’
After releasing Ilion in 2024 via Sub Pop, French trio SLIFT are back with another album for the label, Fantasia. Out June 5, the record was produced by the band and mixed by Converge’s Kurt Ballou. It’s led by the intense, pummeling single ‘A Storm of Wings’.
Mad Honey – ‘Reaching’ and ‘Marie’s Song’
Oklahoma shoegazers Mad Honey have announced their second LP, Bridge Over Cumberland, landing May 15 on Deathwish, Inc./Sunday Drive. “’Reaching’ was the spark that started the writing process of this record—a song that took a while to come together, and was really challenging to produce,” the band’s Lemmon explained. “It was the first track we wrote and the last to be finished. This really felt like a full-circle moment that’s especially personal because it’s about the band itself.”
Of the more downcast ‘Marie’s Song’, Tuff said: “‘Marie’s Song’ was written during a spontaneous jam at a practice session, and as we expanded on the lyrics and more melodic ideas, it quickly grew into one of our favorites on the album. It’s a heartfelt tribute to our dear friend Marie, whose support and friendship have meant the world to us.”
Tomorrow Tomorrow – ‘Indelible’
Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist and audio engineer Nico L-S. announces her debut album under the moniker Tomorrow Tomorrow, Dwelling. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the pensive new song ‘Indelible’, and the whole album is out May 29.
