Another week, another slew of new music you couldn’t be bothered to seek out on your own. We get it, with tens upon tens of songs being released each week, it can feel overwhelming to decide which ones deserve your attention. Not to worry. We’ve taken on the herculean task of hand picking a selection of new songs to kickstart your appetite. Eat up and don’t come back for seconds until you’ve finished your plate.
Marcloid & Woods Law Group ‘Peter & Angel like the music they made for you to listen to, & hope you do too’
Marcloid & Woods Law Group – the project of Angel Marcloid of Fire Toolz, and our very own Peter Woods – is here to settle the case of you not listening to nearly enough noise music. The judge is unlikely to rule in your case given the severity of your crime, but there’s still time for you to change your ways. While we can’t predict the final verdict, we can still sentence you to at least five spins of the head cleansing sonic barrage that is the duo’s debut ‘…Loves Itself.’
Destroy Boys ft. Mannequin Pussy & Scowl ‘You Hear Yes’
Someone’s apparently been going through our notebook labeled ‘TOP SECRET SUPERGROUP IDEAS: DON’T READ’ because Destroy Boys has teamed up with Mannequin Pussy & Scowl to unleash the rager ‘You Hear Yes.’ As if this track wasn’t exciting enough on its own merit, Destroy Boys have also released their fourth album ‘Funeral Soundtrack #4’ in its entirety. Don’t say we never helped you with your weekend plans.
Bright Eyes ‘Rainbow Pass ft. Alex Orange Drink’
Conor Oberst is clearly back in his folk-punk bag with the latest Bright Eyes single ‘Rainbow Pass.’ Featuring Alex Orange Drink from the So So Glos, the track leans a bit fuzzier than we’ve been used to hearing from Oberst as of late. In fact, it’s only a distorted vocal and a few BPMs away from a Desaparacidos, which translates to ‘sick as fuck.’ Here’s hoping the band committed to the bit when the new album drops next month.
Adrianne Lenker ‘Once A Bunch’
Earlier this year, Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker released her devastatingly amazing solo venture ‘Bright Future.’ As if we needed a reminder of how prolific Lenker is, she has dropped a new B-Side from that record ‘Once A Bunch.’ It’s a woozy dose of Americana that wouldn’t sound out of place at a drunken campfire. History shows this isn’t the only gem left on the cutting room floor, so we won’t be surprised if she suddenly drops, like, four more albums next month.
Cursive ‘Imposturing’
Very soon, Cursive will be dropping what seems to be an excellent new entry into their discography, ‘Devourer.’ On the latest single for said album, ‘Imposturing,’ lead singer Tim Kasher invites you to imagine a world in which your deepest fears and anxieties manifest themselves into some sort of monster. This shouldn’t be hard to do considering your very public breakdown at karaoke last week, but at least you have a new song to sing now.
Motion City Soundtrack ‘Stop Talking’
Crack open an NA beer and plan on staying up until 10 PM tonight because Motion City Soundtrack is back, baybeeeeee! The band has released their first song in nearly a decade, and they haven’t skipped a beat. ‘Stop Talking’ delivers the pristine power-pop long-time fans have come to know and love from the quintet and if you thought age might have tamed frontman Justin Pierre’s penchant for neurotic and vulnerable lyricism, think again.
What? Six songs aren’t enough? Of course not, you greedy bastard. We figured you might be the ungrateful type, so we’ve put these and a whole bunch of other songs in a convenient and constantly updated playlist for you. Click here to listen and dazzle your friends with your newfound relevancy.
