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 Tuesday, July 1, 2025.
Teethe – ‘Hate Goodbyes’
Teethe have unveiled ‘Hate Goodbye’, a beautifully cinematic and apologetic single that Wednesday and MJ Lenderman’s Xandy Chelmis, Hovvdy’s Charlie Martin, Adelyn Strei, and Emily Elkin. It’s the latest preview of their forthcoming album Magic of the Sale, following ‘Holy Water’ and the title track.
Laura Groves – ‘Deep Blue’
Laura Groves has announced a new EP, Yes, arriving on August 1. Joviale and Fabiana Palladino sing backup on the track, which is a gentle and open-hearted piece of synthpop. “’Deep Blue’ is a song about asking somebody to be vulnerable and reveal more of their secret world, whilst also trying to embody those things myself,” Groves explained. “There is a directness to the hard kick drum and opening lines of the song – a confrontation and then an admission of deep feelings, stirred up like a deep blue body of water by the heavily modulated Juno 106 synthesiser. My close friends Joviale and Fabiana Palladino join me on backing vocals in the chorus.”
Eiko Ishibashi & Jim O’Rourke – ‘Pareidolia (Single Edit)’
Eiko Ishibashi and Jim O’Rourke have announced their latest collaborative record, Pareidolia, and shared a wondrously immersive snippet of it. The record, out August 29, collages improvised music the artists played during two-week tour through France, Switzerland, Italy, and Ireland in April 2023.
Frost Children – ‘Falling’
Frost Children have dropped another anthemic, summery single following last month’s ‘CONTROL’ – both tracks will appear on the duo’s forthcoming album Sister. “‘Falling’ is the double feeling of euphoric and melancholic, both of which seem to be glued together,” thhey explained. “The best part of dance is that you get to let go and leave whatever reality is in the shadows for a moment, and this song especially had that intention to feel like the euphoria was also an escape of something so real and so sad as your life falling apart in front of you, and wanting someone or something else to take that burden away and take you over.”
Humour – ‘In the Paddies’
Humour have previewed their forthcoming debut album, Learning Greek, with an off-kilter and pretty absurdist song called ‘In the Paddies’. “‘In the Paddies’ is from the point of view of a character who summons various members of the dead throughout history to rise in a muddy field and asks them what it would take to allow their souls to rest peacefully,” frontman Andreas Christoloudis explained.
Ganser – ‘Discount Diamonds’
I encourage you to pair the new Humour single with the latest from Chicago post-punks Ganser, who are releasing their new album Animal Hospital in August. Of ‘Discount Diamonds’, bandleader Alicia Gaines said: “It’s a bit of a piss-take, isn’t it? There’s always someone up top saying what the kids are doing wrong, always a voice telling you the party’s over.I liked the idea of making a dance track that’s constantly questioning whether dancing’s still allowed. It’s got that suspicious energy, like too much coffee and not enough sleep. There’s humor in it, definitely, but also a bit of that end-of-the-night feeling when the lights come up and you’re not sure where you left your optimism.”
Nuclear Daisies – ‘Infinite Joy’
Nuclear Daisies – the band composed of former Temple Of Angels member Rob Glynn, Ringo Deathstarr’s Alex Gehring, and Robby Williams – have announced their sophomore album, First Taste of Heaven, due out August 1. Lead single ‘Infinite Joy’ is heavenly in a dark, punishing sort of way. “The lyrics perfectly express the depths of depression and the hopelessness that someone can feel to claw their way out of it,” Gehring noted. Williams added: “I’d say it wasn’t specific productions but more specific vibes that we wanted to emulate. We had clear visions of how we wanted certain songs to not only sound, but feel too — very sci-fi and dystopian. One song we wanted to feel like attending the vampire rave from Blade — tense, pulsing, but also a little bit dangerous. We wanted a different track to feel like the underground rave at the end of the world from The Matrix — just sort of this lawless party of no rules at the end of days. There were also times when Alex would be in the booth and we’d say “sing it like you’re crying” or “try it like a dead choir member.” There are a lot of wild influences in there that come from disparate places and not just conventional ideas.”
Nuovo Testamento – ‘Dream On’
Nuovo Testamento have shared a bubbly, blissful dance tune called ‘Dream One’, which is “about impermanence and seeking belonging,” according to the trio. “It’s about fading in the light and being told to become a simpler version of yourself, even after you thought you had found your place in the world. ‘Dream On’ speaks to the constance of change, the falsehood of security, and the reality of having to start over, again and again.” It’s set to appear on their upcoming EP Trouble.
lynyn – ‘4m Hiero’
Lynyn – the moniker of Chicago electronic producer Conor Mackey – has announced his sophomore album, Ixona, out September 5 via Sooper Records. “While writing the album, the relationship I had been in my entire adult life ended, and with it, my sense of home and stability,” Mackey revealed. “Working on this record became direction and hope for me as I untangled the past from the future. Its pensive sadness acknowledges what was while maintaining faith in what might come.” Lead single ‘4m Hiero’ is fizzy and captivating. Mackey added, “The way this music was made mirrors the emotional work of rebuilding, where fragments of experience are carefully arranged into something new.”
