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 Monday, June 29, 2026.
Whitmer Thomas – ‘Candy Corn’
Comedian, actor, and musician Whitmer Thomas has signed to Fire Talk Records, marking the announcement with a lovely new song called ‘Candy Corn’. Produced in North Carolina with Brad Cook, it comes paired with a video featuring appearances from Thomas’ longtime friends Joe Pera and Carmen Christopher. “This is my broadest attempt to write about what youth felt like, looking back as an aging knucklehead,” he remarked.
Sadurn – ‘whole thing’
Sadurn have announced their second album, The Underworld, with the poignant new track ‘whole thing’. “The whole thing gets wrapped up with a string/ Tied to a stone and dropped in/ Sink your soft flare in my veins/ Slow hawk in a circle, cursed but/ You say the word, only thing I need again,” G DeGroot piercingly sings in the chorus.
LA Priest – ‘Ever No’
Sam Eastgate reunited with his friend Alex Ridha, aka Boys Noize, for the just-announced album Into the Sky. It’s led by the gently pulsating ‘Ever No’, which reminds me of Baths’ catchier tracks. “I’ve always liked the homemade feel of very early techno, that’s why all the songs have the same drum machine and the same synth,” Eastgate explained. “How much ground can you cover with just a few sounds? How many different kinds of emotions can you show with one or two machines? That’s what I find exciting.”
The Big Moon – ‘Gravity’
The Big Moon have announced their fourth LP, Forever, arriving October 30 via Fiction. The catchy, propulsive lead single ‘Gravity’ is out today. “At the time I wrote this song, every time I collected my son from nursery he would run and slam into me and give me the biggest hug,” songwriter Juliette Jackson recalled. “I knew it wouldn’t last forever, and I savoured everyone, and this song ended up commemorating that feeling. It’s about a love that you’re never really separated from, just elasticated, ready to snap back together.”
Hurry – ‘The Dumbest Person You’ve Ever Seen’
Philadelphia power-pop outfit Hurry have previewed their forthcoming album, Zoned Out, with a new single titled ‘The Dumbest Person You’ve Ever Seen’, which is earnestly endearing. “Time moves quickly, and it’s easy to find yourself following the same well-worn path,” bandleader Matt Scottoline reflected. “You walk the same blocks every day, go to the same coffee shop, see the same people. Eventually the city starts to fade into the background. ‘The Dumbest Person You’ve Ever Seen’ is about meeting someone who suddenly pulls you out of that routine. I guess the title isn’t totally about stupidity – it’s more about the moment when someone makes you forget how to be the composed version of yourself.”
Angela Autumn – ‘Mountain Stream’
Appalachian-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter Angela Autumn has announced her sophomore LP, Believer, due September 11 on Gar Hole Records. Rough-hewn and alluring, lead single ‘Mountain Stream’ comes paired with a video directed by Ash Wright. “The song ‘Mountain Stream’ is a slack-tuned anthem about escaping something,” Autumn expounded. “It came to me one night when I was on a medicine journey and felt very otherworldly. I began singing words that did not feel like my own. But I think I was unearthing something deep inside of me. The mountain is a powerful image to me in my healing. It represents new heights and accomplishments, something monumental that is not easily perceived by the senses, but is felt internally. When making the video I wanted to show feminine power through dance. We collaborated with a few dancers and musicians and I made up some choreography. The song was entirely tracked live, minus the banjo and the loud primal hollers me and Isaiah added. I love that he had the faith in me to record it and it turned out to be the last song of six we tracked during our studio day. It had rained all day, so we really got to drop in and turn it up.”
