So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums<\/a> (of all genres), round up even more new music that we\u2019d call \u201cindie,\u201d<\/a> and talk about what metal is coming out<\/a>. We post music news, track premieres, and more<\/a> all day. We update a playlist<\/a> weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here\u2019s a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.<\/em><\/p>\n MORE EAZE \u2013 \u201cBAD FRIEND\u201d FT. WENDY EISENBERG<\/strong><\/p>\n Producer and multi-instrumentalist mari rubio announced a new album as more eaze, sentence structure in the country<\/em>, due out March 20 via Thrill Jockey. About the first single, \u201cbad friend,\u201d she says, \u201cLike a lot of the songs on this album, this has sat with me for years and taken many different shapes. I couldn\u2019t really leave this one alone. It just kept coming back in my head. I hadn\u2019t played it in years, and then when I played Chicago with Alan Sparhawke, I made a last minute decision to come back to this song as a sort of comfort, and that opened me up to reconsidering the arrangement and form. The key for unlocking it was the pedal steel: it\u2019s kind of about playing it in a non-traditional way, strumming it more like a normal guitar rather than using traditional pedal steel moves but the main riff of the song is built largely about idiomatic idiosyncrasies\/quirks with my pedal steel and electronics setup. To some extent this song lyrically is about knowing you shouldn\u2019t have romantic feelings for a friend but it\u2019s also about not doing a very good job hanging out with people and generally feeling like an alien. Sort of about having trouble in Texas dealing with my social circles, especially the last few years I was there.\u201d<\/p>\n
