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, November 4, 2025.
Sorry – ‘Candle’
Ahead of the release of their new album COSPLAY on Friday, Sorry have shared its final teaser, ‘Candle’, a ghostly, intense track built on a bouncy piano riff. It follows previous cuts ‘JIVE’, ‘Echoes’, ‘Jetplane’, ‘Waxwing’, and ‘Today Might Be The Hit’.
Remember Sports – ‘Bug’
Philadelphia-based band Remember Sports have announced a new album, The Refrigerator, with the punky, dynamic ‘Bug’. “Have you ever stepped on food on your bedroom floor that you haven’t eaten in many days?” vocalist and guitarist Carmen Perry commented. “I wrote this song in the early part of the pandemic, when everyday felt like I was alive solely to make a mess and then clean it up. Or not. It’s hard to not think about the things you don’t wanna think about when you have nothing to do.”
Smerz – You got time and I got money [feat. Clairo] [VVTZJ EDIT]
Smerz have released Big city life EDITS, a companion to their latest album that features from Copenhagen scenemates including Erika de Casier, ML Buch, Fine, and Astrid Sonne, as well as They Are Gutting a Body of Water, MIKE, and more. The whole thing is extremely cool, but I’m singling out an enchanting rendition of ‘You got time and I got money’ courtesy of Clairo and VVTZJ.
I Promised the World – ‘Bliss in 7 Languages’
Texas-based five-piece I Promised The World have signed to Rise Records and announced a new self-titled EP arriving on January 16. They’ve marked the news with a blistering single called ‘Bliss in 7 Languages’, which was produced by Jon Markson (Drug Church, DRAIN, Stay Inside) and Adam Cichocki.
King Hannah – ‘This Hotel Room’
King Hannah are releasing a new limited edition 7″ next month. The warm, wistful ‘This Hotel Room’ is out today, and its B-side is a cover of Gillian Welch’s ‘Look at Miss Ohio’. “Our favourite thing to do is sing together and harmonise and we wanted a song of our own that allowed us to do this,” the duo shared, “a song that sounded timeless and nostalgic and paid homage to the country-folk singers we love so much while still resonating as a King Hannah track. We’re always trying to capture an intimacy and write in a way that is personal and honest and reflective, and ‘This Hotel Room’ is no exception to this. To us it’s about the past and the future, about trying to find warmth and love in both of those things while also recognising the sadness and sense of loss inherent to both.”
cruush – ‘Rupert Giles’
Rubert Giles! What a cool guy. In a statement about their new song, Manchester band cruush don’t explain why they named their fuzzy, expansive new single after the Buffy the Vampire Slayer character, but it’s well worth a listen. “On a writing retreat to Wales, we took a sunrise hike up Penygader,” they recalled. “We listened to nothing but Neil Young, Brownhorse, and the Van Halen song ‘Panama’. We were sitting by this lake at 6AM, with the sun rising, listening to it, and all felt well. We knew we had a great song written, we were all sleep deprived and sweaty, the stars were aligning.”
Paula Kelley – ‘Party Line’
Paula Kelley, who cut her teeth as a member of shoegaze legends Drop Nineteens, has dropped a vibrant, hypnotic song titled ‘Party Line’. “When the song came to me it presented nearly fully formed- a pedaling bass line, a four part vocal harmony, an expansive soundscape,” Kelley explained. “Sometimes songs sound great in your head but then don’t translate well into reality. I was lucky with this one. As I was recording part upon part, it felt as though the song was writing itself. It’s a dreamy song about dreams—not the kind that come during sleep, but rather wishes, anxieties, projections—as a way to work through and reconcile an unhappy past.”
