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, December 9, 2025.
Dry Cleaning – ‘Let Me Grow and You’ll See The Fruit’
‘Let Me Grow and You’ll See The Fruit’ showcases a gentler, lonelier side of Dry Cleaning’s forthcoming album Secret Love. Following previous cuts ‘Cruise Ship Designer’ and ‘Hit My Head All Day’, the track is accompanied by a BULLYACHE-choreographed video featuring Chicago-based experimental jazz and metal musician Bruce Lamont, who also contributed saxophone to the track. Singer Florence Shaw remarked, “The song is about hyper focus and loneliness. It’s confessional, like a diary entry, written in a stream of consciousness style.”
Draag – ‘Miracle Drug’
Draag are set to follow up last year’s Actually, the quiet EP with a new EP, Miracle Drug, arriving January 23 via Smoking Room. About the ferocious yet sweeping title track, which is out today, songwriter and vocalist Adrian Acosta said: “Living with an autoimmune condition is an invisible daily fight. Some days you want a miracle drug to escape what feels like a prison in your body. But you don’t take your health for granted. And you learn how to appreciate life and super simple moments deeply. I feel like it’s given me a sharp vision of what really matters.”
Remember Sports – ‘Cut Fruit’
Remember Sports have previewed their upcoming full-length The Refrigerator with a gritty, dynamic new single, ‘Cut Fruit’. “This is one of the first songs we wrote for the record,” singer and guitarist Carmen Perry explained. “We’d been playing it on tour for a while, so had a really clear vision of the intensity we wanted to capture by the time we recorded it. It’s a song about self-image and sitting with some really painful feelings that aren’t going anywhere.
Guv – ‘Warmer Than Gold’
Ben Cook has shared the title track off his upcoming Guv LP Warmer Than Gold, which arrives January 30 on Run for Cover. It’s as dreamy as it is danceable.
Liz Cooper – ‘Sorry (That I Love You)’
‘Sorry (That I Love You)’, the latest preview of Liz Cooper’s forthcoming album New Day, “started as a genuine apology for falling in love with someone who didn’t want me but who wouldn’t let me go,” according to the Vermont-based singer-songwriter. “The song took three painful and confusing years to be fully realized and was set in stone with a different meaning the day we started our last session, the same day the Altadena fires began in east LA. As the flames raged on and the music was put on pause, I finally hit my breaking point and re-wrote Sorry (That I Love You) as an apology to myself.” Despite its apologetic tone, the track hints at New Day‘s warmly psychedelic approach.
Scattered Purgatory – ‘Wunai’
Scattered Purgatory (破地獄) is a Taiwanese occult band that combines trip-hop beats with doom metal riffs. Today, they’ve announced a new album, Post Purgatory, for release on January 30 via Guruguru Brain. If you liked both the Smerz and Deftones albums from this year, you might be into its first single, ‘Wunai’. “The feeling of loss and uncertainty has later become the inspiration of this record,” the group explained, “and ‘time’ is the main theme – it can heal or it can destroy.”
Aukai – ‘Las Lluvias’
Aukai, the project masterminded by Markus Sieber, has shared a warm, immersive piece from his upcoming album Chambers, which was recorded at Nils Frahm’s Funkhaus studio Saal 3. Sieber described the record as “a dream sequence of sound. The connecting thread is the space itself where the album was recorded, and the fact that it was created in just three non-consecutive days, over a period of almost two years. For me, Chambers became an experiment to explore expansion within self-imposed limitations and restrictions.”
