There’s so much music coming out all the time that it’s hard to keep track. On those days when the influx of new tracks is particularly overwhelming, we sift through the noise to bring you a curated list of the most interesting new releases (the best of which will be added to our Best New Songs playlist). Below, check out our track roundup for Wednesday, November 4, 2026.
Christine and the Queens – ‘Rendez-vous avec toi’ and ‘Rendez-vous in your arms’
Christine and the Queens is back with a new single. The jubilant ‘Rendez-vous avec toi’ arrives alongside its English counterpart, ‘Rendez-vous in your arms’. Both tracks are accompanied by a music video co-directed by Chris and Raphaël De Albuquerque, with choreography by Alexander Ekman. Serving as the first single from a still-unannounced album, they mark his first new music 2025’s Catching Feelings EP.
Shygirl – ‘Eternal’
Ahead of the release of her new album Swallow! on Friday, Shygirl has dropped one more single, ‘Eternal’. Co-produced with Casey MQ, Dahi, Ely Rise, and Karma Kid, the lush, ethereal track follows ‘Alyse’, ‘Lucky (Hymn)’, and ‘Mantra’.
Hannah Jadagu – ‘Curse’
Hannah Jadagu has returned with her first new music since last year’s Describe. Luminous and freshly expansive, ‘Curse’ comes paired with a video made with Sam Wilbert.
Kiwi Jr. – ‘Something Wicked’
Kiwi Jr. have unveiled ‘Something Wicked’, a jangly outtake from the sessions behind their latest LP Blowin’ Up. “‘Something Wicked’ was one of the earliest songs written for the album, and this version was recorded during the Blowin’ Up sessions in Detroit,” frontman Jeremy Gaudet explained. “As we kept writing songs and got closer to finishing the album, the wind changed and left the song standing on it’s own in terms of the feeling and ideas. It’s one of our favourite songs to play, but by the time we finished the album, it just didn’t fit in with the rest. The lyric is a take on some Shakespearean witches brewing up something special to steer you off course; trouble coming in all shapes and sizes from where you least expect it.”
Mamalarky – ‘Sad Songs’
“One more sad song to sing/ While nobody pays for everything,” goes a line on that Kiwi Jr. tune, and ‘Sad Songs’ happens to be the title of Mamalarky’s latest single, which leads their new album Hover. “Sad songs sound sadder now/ Waking up just drags me down,” Livvy Bennett sings on the chorus of the track, about which she said: “To me, it sounds like the first sunny day after a week-long depressive episode, the day when you remember to drink water again and find symbolism in everything but are definitely not okay yet. I hope it offers company to anyone going through loneliness, loss, and general confusion of the heart. Sometimes you’re left only with a sad song or two to make sense of some bullshit, the sole survivors of a world of hurt.”
lots of hands – ‘anything for now’
lots of hands have released a new single, ‘anything for now’. The beautifully refined track is notably produced by Mike O’Malley, the guitarist for London experimental outfit caroline. “This song has been through about 4 stages,” the duo’s Billy Woodhouse explained. “It started as 3 different tracks me and Elliot worked on individually, before combining them. We recorded this version down in London next to the best pastry shop we’ve ever been to. Such a luxury to have this experience, and meet Mike from caroline who really took this song to a different level.”
O’Malley added: “I was tasked with the pleasure of choosing a track to work on from a big list of really beautiful songs. ‘anything for now’ stood out to me as a track that would be nice to work on as it had a really distinct sonic identity already, and it was a super well-written song. We built the whole thing from scratch in Park Chapel Studios in North London in one day — somewhere I always like to work because the live room sounds really good – and the engineer there, Joe, is a good friend and a talented person. It can be a really fun task taking a track that’s clearly already very developed and just exploding outwards into ‘studio’ territory. Elliot waited patiently all day to record his vocals and did each layer in basically one take, flawlessly, right at the end of the day.”
Liars – ‘Beat Creep Some Eyes’
Liars have dropped a wildly kinetic and discombobulating track off their forthcoming album, Ban on Plastic Bag Bans. I have to say that its title, ‘Beat Creep Some Eyes’, is strangely apt. “Sometimes, I think the strangest thing isn’t that the world is absurd, but how quickly we get used to it,” frontman Angus Andrew reflected. “You can find yourself living inside something completely ridiculous, and after a while it just becomes Tuesday. Then you start to wonder if you’re seeing things clearly at all. You know what you’re looking at, but you’re no longer sure you’re seeing it correctly. I think the music lives somewhere in that space.”
Font – ‘Cling’
Austin’s Font have previewed their upcoming album American Bully XL with a gauzy, sweeping new track called ‘Cling’. “The song is carved away from a mountain of first thoughts, recalling a subtractive process that aims to preserve ghosts, confuse source, and respond to material rather than direct it,” the group’s Anthony Laurence explained.
Crate – ‘Crushed to Nothing’
New York shoegaze outfit Crate ahave shared ‘Crushed to Nothing’, the final offering from their self-titled debut album. “This one’s tricky because there’s multiple themes in this song,” the band’s Ezra Engler commented. “The main sentiment is about caring deeply about someone who is in a bad position. You do whatever you can to help them out, but you realize at the end of the day the only person that can help them is themselves. I’ve been on both sides of this coin, the helper and the helpee. This song definitely feels the most personal to me. I often write lyrics quickly and haphazardly – just kind of what I’m feeling in the moment. Then I read the lyrics back and I’m like ‘woah i was actually talking about something here’. The outro spoken word section switches to the thought of looking back on the past and reminiscing on things you could have done differently. Hindsight is 20/20 kinda vibe.”
