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.
It was another big new release week last week as 2019 gets underway. New singles came from everywhere including Foals, Band of Skulls, Lady Lamb, Jenny Lewis, Ryan Adams, Florence + The Machine, Gus Dapperton, and so many more. The favs this week include the return of Vampire Weekend with “Harmony Hall”, one of the songs off the surprise album from Phoebe Bridgers and Connor Oberst’s new project, Better Oblivion Community Center, Pavement guitarist Scott Kannberg’s Spiral Stairs project, a new one from Julia Jacklin’s highly anticipated new album, a heartfelt and restless ode from SUSTO’s upcoming album, a new groove from Athens’ punks Deep State, the throwback soul from Durand Jones & The Indications, the dreamy haze from Golden Daze, a new single from the anticpated debut album from London’s Nilüfer Yanya, and then there is the second single from new Atlanta band password:password, a welcome surprise of blissful shoegaze.
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:
