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, June 9, 2026.
Interpol – ‘This Mirror Weighs a Ton’ and ‘See Out Loud’
Interpol have announced a new album, This Mirror Weighs a Ton, sharing the title track as well as ‘See Out Loud’. The latter features guitarist Daniel Kessler’s first vocal since Turn on the Bright Lights‘ ‘PDA’, and both songs are considerably pensive and hushed, with a noticeable focus on sound design.
Ty Segall – ‘Black Paint’
Ty Segall is releasing a new album and an EP on the same day. The 9-track Chrome and the two-song Love Fuzzz EP are out August 28 via Drag City. The LP is led by the riff-heavy ‘Black Paint’, which comes paired with a video directed by Alex Bulli.
Chat Pile – ‘Deep Blue’
Chat Pile have announced a new album, Who Loves the Sun, with the churning ‘Deep Blue’. “This is the first track we wrote for the album and the one that helped set the tone for the whole thing,” bassist Stin commented. “I personally love this because it sounds like Chat Pile doing a Billy Squire song. It’s our ‘Lonely is the Night’, which is actually a fake Led Zeppelin song so who knows what the hell we’re actually doing here?”
Wishy – ‘Lovesick’
After coming through with their debut album, Triple Seven, in 2024, Wishy kept the momentum going with 2025’s Planet Popstar EP, and now they’re back with a new full-length. It’s called Nature’s Pill, and it’s out October 2 on Winspear. The soaring lead single ‘Lovesick’ is out today, and it’s naturally hypnotic. Maybe that’s what the album title is all about. Here’s what the band’s Nina Pitchkites had to say about it: “There’s not much more that needs to be said about yearning in 2026, but here it is anyway. Kevin and I are stupidly romantic people who like twee pop so that combination alone was a recipe for a cheeky “main character” song. We really leaned into the overzealous lyrics here because 1) we’re allowed, 2) can do whatever we want and 3) it’s fun 🙂 yay!”
Soft Cell – ‘Danceteria’
Soft Cell’s final LP, Danceteria, will be released on September 25. Today, the duo has unveiled the appropriately dancey title track arrives today, alongside a video by the collage artist Vicki Bennett. “Danceteria is a love letter to New York in the early ’80s,” Marc Almond said in a statement. “The time we spent in New York – where we recorded our first three albums—shaped us both as artists and people. To celebrate this period is a fitting farewell to Dave Ball and the final Soft Cell studio album.”
Penelope Isles – ‘Thinking Seat’
Penelope Isles’ Lily Wolter only just released a new album under the moniker My Precious Bunny, but it’s been half a decade since the band’s last album. Today, they’ve announced that 3, the follow-up to Which Way To Happy, arrives on September 25, and shared the glimmering lead single ‘Thinking Seat’. “Penny Isles is such a big part of our personalities,” Jack Wolter, who also makes music as Cubzoa, commented. “So it was about time we got back to it.”
Elanor Moss – ‘Sarah Waiting in the Car’
Artist Spotlight alum Elanor Moss has finally announced her debut album. The Knife, The Needle, out August 21, is preceded today by the single ‘Sarah Waiting in the Car’, which is heart-wrenching. “‘Sarah Waiting In The Car’ broke an almost year-long drought of writing songs,” Moss explained. “It reignited that spark in me around songwriting, and felt like a breakthrough into something new and intriguing that I wanted to follow. It served as a bit of a guiding light as I re-entered a more consistent relationship with songwriting again; the north star of the album in a way.”
mary in the junkyard – ‘Mouse’
mary in the junkyard have delivered another striking preview of their forthcoming debut album Role Model Hermit. About ‘Mouse’, the group said: “I went to Iceland and became obsessed with the ocean. I remembered I was a fisherman in a former life with a mouse in my pocket, lost in a storm. It is about me reconnecting with the mouse when they have taken on a human form in this life.”
Harmony Tividad – ‘Best Dressed’
Harmony Tividad has offered another teaser of her upcoming LP Lifetime, ‘Best Dressed’, which is accompanied by a Caroline Iaffaldano-directed video. “[Director] Caroline [Iaffaldano] and I were inspired by vintage bandstand videos and wanted to capture the energy of those old performances,” Tividad shared. “The 1960s television stage becomes a metaphor for the performance of femininity, existing in a world built around spectacle and perception.”
Bonobo – ‘Me and You’
Bonobo’s just-announced album has quite an impressive cast of collaborators: Arooj Aftab, Nilüfer Yanya, Ichiko Aoba, Hundred Waters’ Nicole Miglis, and Joy Crookes all guest on Distance in Static, due September 11 via Ninja Tune. “I think the front end of what I’ve done has now become something that’s referential to younger people. I liked the idea of listening for a distant signal – trying to find something in the noise,” Simon Green said of the LP, which is led by the thumping ‘Me and You’.
Show Me the Body – ‘Eat for Peace’
Show Me the Body have dropped ‘Eat for Peace’, the punchy opener from their forthcoming album Alone Together. “It’s the first message we communicate, one that defines this record as well as who we are,” frontman Julian Cashwan Pratt said. “‘Radical love compels me to fight’ — it’s the credo.”
The Menzingers – ‘Better Angels’
The Menzingers have previewed their upcoming LP, Everything I Ever Saw, with a new single, ‘Better Angels’, alongside a video directed by Britain Weyant. “We tried to make ‘Better Angels’ the song version of those late-night conversations with an old friend, the kind where you sit around a kitchen table and solve all of the world’s problems,” vocalist/guitarist Tom May explained. “It feels like we’re being torn apart. The country is run by monsters and money, and there are plenty of people who benefit from keeping us at each other’s throats. ’Better Angels’ is a message about what we’re doing, what responsibility we have to become better versions of ourselves, and that we’re not alone or powerless. It’s a push against the cynicism that’s so easy to embrace and a reminder that the world we want starts with how we treat ourselves and each other.”
Shearwater – ‘Slugs in the Marigolds’
Shearwater have unveiled a new single, ‘Slugs in the Marigolds’, from their forthcoming record The New World. The pleasantly hypnotic track arrives with a video directed by Shearwater’s Jonathan Meiburg and Jason Benson. “This was a band favorite on The New World,” Meiburg said. “We liked how its loose, sunny feeling plays against the lyric–and we loved how Doug’s sax slithers up beside you.” He added: “This was one of those rare videos where everything just fell into place. The idea came to me on a walk in the woods, near the spot where I found our slug hero. Forty-eight hours later, after a grand day out with photographer Jason Benson, I put the slug right back where they came from, with a little extra lettuce to chew on. It’s my favorite Shearwater video since ‘Quiet Americans’.”
Orla Gartland – ‘At The End of the Day’
Orla Gartland has written and performed the soundtrack to the forthcoming fifth season of Apple TV’s Trying, and today she’s shared its first song, ‘At The End of the Day’. “I absolutely loved making this soundtrack,” Gartland shared. “The task was beautifully straightforward: write eight songs, one for the closing scene of each episode. I started by writing about the characters’ arcs in the series; tales of love, growth, family – what I didn’t expect was that somewhere along the way it all became about my own experiences. I think maybe it’s the only way I can make music, to put a piece of myself in everything.”
Black Duck and Elena Setién – ‘Land of the Many Eyes’
Black Duck – the Chicago band featuring Douglas McCombs, Bill MacKay, and Charles Rumback – have announced a new collaborative LP with Basque musician Elena Setién. Black Duck With Elena Setién, out August 28, is previewed today by the sinewy ‘Land of the Many Eyes’, about which Rumback said: “Elena’s song has such a natural feel, it made us all feel like a band instantly.”
