There\u2019s so much music coming out all the time that it\u2019s hard to keep track. On those days when the influx of new tracks is particularly overwhelmin<\/em>g, 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\u00a0Best New Songs playlist<\/a>). Below, check out our track roundup for Thursday, October 9, 2025.<\/em><\/p>\n Lande Hekt has announced a new album, Lucky Now, arriving January 30 on Tapete. It\u2019s led by the jangly and irresistible \u2018Favourite Pair of Shows\u2019, whose dreamy harmony vocals really jump out. \u201cI wrote this song when I was listening to a lot of The Bats and The Chills, it probably sounds nothing like any of that Flying Nun stuff but that was what was inspiring me at the time,\u201d Hekt explained. \u201cDespite the lines that lean towards despair, I think this is quite a hopeful song. It\u2019s about rising out of a pit of hopelessness and doing something really positive. The song features my old friend and longtime collaborator Samuel Bedford. We first sang together when we were 16, we recorded a song together for his folk solo project, then we were in an indie rock band together when we were 21 called Selfish Son. Sam sang on my song Kitchen in 2020 and now he sings on this song and Coming Home. Each of these collaborations are 5 years apart which is tidy.\u201d<\/p>\nLande Hekt \u2013 \u2018Favourite Pair of Shoes\u2019<\/h3>\n
