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.
GORILLAZ – “ORANGE COUNTY” (FT. BIZARRAP, KARA JACKSON & ANOUSHKA SHANKAR) AND “THE HARDEST THING” (FEAT. TONY ALLEN)
Gorillaz new album The Mountain is out in March and here are two very different tracks from it.

HATER – “ANGEL CUPID”
“All the music I normally loved seemed without spirit,” Caroline Landahl of Swedish band Hater says of the band’s new single. “I was angry with love poems; I couldn’t stand listening to some of the really great love songs. I envisioned Angel Cupid as a weak little pink worm, completely and utterly rubbish at shooting arrows in my direction.” New album Mosquito is out March 6.

DAUGHTER – “NOT ENOUGH”
Daughter’s 2016 sophomore album Not To Disappear turns 10 this year, and to celebrate they’ve shared a new song originally written and demo’ed during the album sessions. “‘Not Enough’ didn’t find its place on Not To Disappear but we always loved it – we even played it live a few times before it went back to being a demo buried on a hard-drive,” they say. “To mark the album’s 10th anniversary, we wanted to revisit some of the unfinished threads from that era. In November 2025 we finally all found ourselves in London again and recorded ’Not Enough’ in the studio together. We live in different places now, and some of our recent work has happened remotely, so this felt like old times.”

FLORE LAURENTIENNE – “RÉGATE”
Flore Laurentienne, aka Quebec producer and composer Mathieu David Gagnon, has announced new album Volume III which is out April 10 via Secret City Records. He says of this very pretty preview: “The more the piece unfolds, the more the melody becomes desynchronized. It overlaps or harmonizes. The piece evokes a rapid shift in perspective. In the last section, harps replace the piano. We replayed the harp tracks backwards and recorded the reverb they produced, then put it all back in place. The result you hear before each harp chord is the reverb tail played backwards. This was a method used in the 1970s. The synthesizer used to make the ostinato is the same one they used on Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon, the EMS Synthi. A rare English synthesizer.”

THE NOTWIST – “HOW THE STORY ENDS” (LOVERS COVER)
The Notwist’s anticipated first album in five years, News from Planet Zombie, is out in March, and the latest single is a cover of Lvers’ “How the Story Ends.” “We chose ‘How the story ends’ because we really love the song and the Lovers… it has a great energy, melody and lyrics and is really fun to play and sing,” they say. “When I first heard the demo-version, ‘Honea,’ on a Kill-Rockstars-compilation, I played the song in an endless loop until I could sing along all the lyrics. And also as the other cover-version on the album is by Neil Young and has a more romantic view on relationships, we thought it is good to have this song as a sort of counterpart.”

J. COLE – “DISC 2 TRACK 2”
J. Cole is releasing The Fall-Off on February 6, and judging by the first single being called “Disc 2 Track 2,” it’s looking like a double album.

JULIANNA RIOLINO – “DON’T PUT ME IN THE MIDDLE”
Toronto singer-songwriter Julianna Riolino has announced a deluxe edition of her 2025 sophomore album Echo in the Dust, due out on February 27 via Moonwhistle Records. It includes the country-tinged new single “Don’t Put Me in the Middle,” and she says, “I wrote this song on tour in between long drives, sound-checks, performances and ego deaths. It’s always been a hum in my head, and bringing it to life was cathartic and healing. It is the decompression after the fracture. It’s melancholic resolute and at peace.”
