We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here’s a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.

INDEX (EX CONTROL TOP) – “CELLOPHANE”

Former Control Top members Alan Creedon and Alex Lichtenauer have formed new group Index and have shared their debut single. “Cellophane” is a punk battering ram that they say is “about self-deception and the rituals we perform to convince ourselves we’re holding it together. Musically, we wanted to move away from anything riff-based and write in a way that felt fluid and unstable. The two of us function as a single organism, threading through shifting time signatures rather than locking into them. We were interested in the physicality of electronic body music pushed through a hardcore framework. Something precise and controlled, but still capable of impact in a room.”

SUNDAYCLUB – “BLUE WAVE”

Winnipeg dream poppers sundayclub release their self-titled dbut in July, and the new single is “Blue Wave,” “This song reminisces on the early days of a relationship in the midst of inner turmoil and uncertainty over what the future might hold,” they say. “It’s about wanting to be a different, better, and more evolved version of yourself despite not being there yet, and seeking escapism in the past as a way to find solace. I felt impossibly restless at the time of writing the song and was just generally tired: tired of feeling like I wasn’t progressing, tired of being patient with the record we were making, tired of feeling vulnerable and overlooked. By looking back into the past, I could escape into a feeling of wistfulness to distract myself from how frustrated I was in the present.”
