New Year, New Playlist. We try to keep up with all the latest indie singles released everyday on our Spotify playlist, the daily updated OE: Buzzworthy New Indie Singles, for an easy way to find that new new music. That can be hard to keep up with for even the crazed new music fan. Perhaps though, you just are looking for some strong recommendations in a shorter form. So for the new year, we will pair it down to at most 10 songs that we are really digging from the prior week’s newly released singles (Monday-Sunday) on our new Spotify playlist – The Weekly.
Of course I would pick a hell of a week to start this, with last week (January 7th-13th, 2019) being the first major release week of the new year. There was new singles from everyone it seemed including Catfish and the Bottlemen, Lana Del Rey, Priests, Pedro the Lion, Beirut, POND, The Dandy Warhols, The Coathangers, Fat White Family, The Japanese House, SUSTO, and even the streaming release of Radiohead’s B-side “Ill Wind”, and so many more. Needless to say, it was a difficult week to narrow down to even 10 songs loved from last week’s new releases, including the absolutely amazing song “Seventeen” by Sharon Van Etten. Can’t wait to see her alongside this new album at Shaky Knees in May!
As always, leave in our comments here or on socials with your recs from last week’s releases, any that we missed, gripes, comments on how much you hate the picks, or just general life changing moments experienced through a new tune. Heck even if you think it’s all wrong, subscribe to the playlist to see if we do better next week. Update with all new songs, coming each Monday. With love, it’s The Weekly:
