So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Every week we review a handful of new albums (from all genres), round up even more new music that we’d call “indie” and talk about what metal comes out. We post music news, track premieres and more all day. We are updating a weekly playlist of some of our current favorite tracks. Here is a daily summary with a bunch of interesting and recently released songs in one place.
DROWSE – “FAKE IN HELMETS”
Drowse, the shoegazy and slowcore project of Kyle Bates (not to be confused with the Philly hardcore band of the same name), released a new album dive in Nov. 11 via The Flenser. Debut single ‘Untrue In Headphones’ is named after Burial’s listening experience Fake on a train, and it’s a hauntingly beautiful slow-motion with guest vocals and guitar from Madeline Johnston, aka Midwife, Kyle’s Flenser labelmate.

I love the saxophone line that Alabâtre Deplume added – brings a bit of his heart and his hope.”

BLACK ANGELS – “THE FALLING EMPIRES”
Austin’s big shrinks, the Black Angels, release a new double LP desert of mirrors Friday and shared another preview before dropping everything. “‘Empires Falling’ is a critical and thoughtful plea that examines humanity’s repetitive art of violent mass destruction,” the band states. “As we say in the chorus, ‘history repeats itself’. We live in a desert of mirrors, where it’s hard to tell right from wrong, up from down, or truth from lies. as we navigate these times where the fate of humanity is refracted and reflected from one state of panic to another. The world is a “bleeding animal” and we are exhausted, polarized and “pleading from street to street.” bloody street”. History has proven, time and time again, that without a drastic metamorphosis of our leaders, of politics, and ultimately of ourselves…”

MYKKI BLANCO – “PINK DIAMOND BEZEL”
The latest single from Mykki Blanco’s long-awaited new album Stay close to the music is “Pink Diamond Bezel”. “I always hope to create a new chemistry for my sound and throughout my career I’ve experimented with how far I can take rapping – from production to music choices to inspirations,” says Mykki. “A lot of my new album and last year Broken hearts and restful sleep is a break from everything I had done in the past and I hadn’t really done a hip-hop track in years when I wrote “Pink Diamond Bezel”. The song feels like the love child of Pharrell Williams and the Neptunes as well as Jack White. When I think of the vibe of ‘Pink Diamond Bezel’, I picture a stretched limo driving through snow-capped mountains, drinking Kahula and cream with a group of friends in cashmere sweaters, very après-ski – then nowhere does a shaman appear in the middle of the road, the car stops – a spell is cast, the road catches fire and we are forced to kneel down begging the forces of nature! I had fun creating this song, it’s flirtatious, it’s sexy and punchy and the second half is pure psychedelic rock mayhem.”

RHETT MILLER – “HEART ATTACK DAYS”
“I wrote the lyrics to the verse that started ‘Heart Attack Days’ in an apartment in Dallas’ Lower Greenville neighborhood,” says Rhett Miller. “I hadn’t been back for a while and was amazed at how much the place had changed. The few remaining examples of the kind of funky rental houses where my friends and I lived in the 90s were either abandoned or being demolished. I watched the sun go down over a half-destroyed duplex and couldn’t help but make a song of the feeling it inspired, a bittersweet yearning for a bygone era. “Heart Attack Days” is a little less American and a little more new wave than you might expect and is part of Rhett’s new album, The misfitout this Friday via ATO.

WILL SHEFF – “IN THE HEART” FT. CASSANDRA JENKINS
The final single from Okkervil River’s Will Sheff debut solo album Nothing in particular is “In The Thick Of It”, a melancholic ballad on the piano with the voice of Cassandra Jenkins. “In the thickness of it is a song about moments of grace in the frenetic middle of things,” Will says. “I wrote it remotely with Will Graefe on a frenetic flight from Los Angeles to the desert. Zac Rae is leading the charge on the piano and I’ve asked Cassandra Jenkins to sing the song with me. I had this big music video planned, but then everyone who was supposed to do the music video got COVID. So I borrowed a camera and sang the song while walking my dog Larry through some of our favorite places in town. We had a great time and only spent $200.”
