The weekend\u2019s within arm\u2019s reach<\/a> and we\u2019ve made it, friends.<\/p>\n Before we clock off and crack a cold one, we\u2019ve rounded up standout new music releases from here<\/a> and across the country.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Here\u2019s what\u2019s spinning.<\/span><\/p>\n WA duo Old Mervs<\/a> lean into something looser and more collaborative on \u2018Tether\u2019, a sunlit indie cut that feels deceptively simple<\/a>. What started as \u201ca guitar riff and a verse\u201d found its shape in the studio with Chris Collins, unlocking a chorus the band couldn\u2019t crack alone. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re able to take songs to a place you\u2019d never have gone yourself,\u201d they say \u2013 and that sense of discovery hums through every hook.<\/span><\/p>\nOld Mervs \u2013 \u2018Tether\u2019<\/span>
