9 New Songs: The Avalanches, Jamie xx, Peter Gabriel, and More

So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we’d call “indie,” and talk about what metal is coming out . 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.

THE AVALANCHES FT JAMIE XX – “EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND”

““We’ve loved collaborating with Jamie xx over the years,” say The Avalanches, announcing their latest collaboration. “His In Colour album reignited our passion for sampling, and this track is all about letting go, forgetting the 9-5 grind and enjoying every single weekend.” The video is pretty twisted.

PETER GABRIEL – “A HARD LESSON”

“This is the oldest track of the project,” Peter Gabriel says of the latest single from his upcoming o/i . “It probably started in the late 80s or early 90s when I was in Senegal. I was falling in love with the music I heard there. I loved the tension created by the use of polyrhythms, particularly the threes and fours, so that was the start of this song. It’s a quirky, strange and long track but it’s a journey. It’s about trying to find a place, your place, how you fit in. I’ve enjoyed playing with old R&B and folk references as well.”

PUSSY RIOT – “CANDY DOPAMINE” (FT. AVENGED SEVENFOLD)

Pussy Riot released a mixtape in 2022, three EPs, and a bunch of singles, and they’ve announced CYKA , which they say is their debut album. It’s due out June 12, and the first single is “Candy Dopamine,” featuring Avenged Sevenfold. “This song is kind of a love & hate song to prescription and designer drug culture,” Nadya Tolokonnikova says. “It started with my dependence on anti depressants, but it’s also looking at everyone now mentalhealthmaxxing and looksmaxxing via pills and injections. It’s not a judgement, it’s just an observation and my personal experience with these things is that I have to be in a long term relationship with them for my PTSD and depression.”

PARTS & LABOR – “ARTERIAL MATERIAL”

“’Arterial Material’ grapples lyrically with health issues and the challenges of navigating our frequently inadequate care systems,” says BJ Warshaw of Parts & Labor of the latest preview from their upcoming Set of All Sets . “I wrote the lyrics long before the delusional, anti-science fever dream known as ‘MAHA’ came to prominence. On the one hand, the song confronts head on how hard it is to separate fact from fiction, to make sound choices when faced with dire side effects, to determine whether the latest trend is truly a miracle elixir or merely a pharmaceutical corporation’s cash grab. On the other, in spite of the frustrations I’m vocalizing around the slow deterioration of my physical self, I’m so grateful for the care I’ve received. The song kicks off with feedback generated from my hearing aids, prescribed to mitigate my fairly crippling tinnitus, alongside samples from my audiology testing. Nestled in the cacophony are audio samples from my various MRIs.”
