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, March 11, 2026.
Kacey Musgraves – ‘Dry Spell’
Kacey Musgraves has announced a new album, Middle of Nowhere, with the single ‘Dry Spell’. Made alongside her Same Trailer, Different Park collaborators Shane McAnally, Luke Laird, and Josh Osbourne, it’s a hooky tune about being “lonely with a capital H,” if you know what she means. Musgraves co-directed the accompanying video with Hannah Lux Davis.
Robyn – ‘Blow My Mind’
Robyn has offered another glimpse of her upcoming LP Sexistential with the pounding, fleshy ‘Blow My Mind’, which follows previous entries ‘Sexistential’, ‘Talk to Me’, and ‘Dopamine’.
Croz Boyce – ‘Hanging Out With a Blueberry Pop’
The Animal Collective extended universe keeps expanding. After a string of solo albums, Brian Weitz (Geologist) and Dave Portner (Avey Tare) have launched a new instrumental project, Croz Boyce, whose self-titled album arrives on May 8. It’s previewed today with the languorous opener ‘Hanging Out With a Blueberry Pop’, which comes with a Joseph Ricketts-directed video.
Iceage – ‘Star’
Iceage are back. The Danish band’s first new single in five years is the wiry, soaring ‘Star’, which is accompanied by a video from Thinh T. Petrus Nguyen.
Violet Grohl – ‘595’
Violet Grohl has announced her debut album. Produced by Justin Raisen, Be Sweet to Me will arrive on May 29. Lead single ‘595’, equal parts sultry and grungy, is accompanied by a Nikki Milan Houston-directed video. Alternative music from the late ‘80s and early ‘90s naturally was an influence. “There’s something so powerful about that period of music,” Grohl said in a statement. “From the messaging to the visuals, it’s authentic and raw.”
Olof Dreijer – ‘Echoed Dafino’
Olof Dreijer, once half of the Swedish duo the Knife, has announced his long-awaited debut album, Loud Bloom, with the wonky, Maman-assisted new single ‘Echoed Dafino’. “I was so moved the first time I heard the original version of ‘Dafnino,’” Dreijer said in a statement. “Maman’s voice is so beautiful. I wanted to make it work in my DJ sets, so I made my own version that I felt became more than just a remix so I thought it could be nice to include it on the album. The additional vocals he recorded made it feel very special too.”
The Lemon Twigs – ‘I Just Can’t Get Over Losing You’
The Lemon Twigs are prepping a new album, Look For Your Mind!, arriving May 8. If you’ve heard anything from this band, you already know lead single ‘I Just Can’t Get Over Losing You’ is nostalgically hooky – but also sneakily unconventional. “Every time we try to write something that’s completely straightforward, we can’t help adding an element which comes out of left field. We always want to write a song we’ve never heard before,” Brian D’Addario remarked.
Kevin Morby – ‘Die Young’
Kevin Morby has previewed his forthcoming album Little Wide Open with a contemplative new song, ‘Die Young’. “A lot of this album is me reflecting on my time spent on the road as an adult,” he reflected. “Being a touring musician as a career has made for a sometimes complicated lifestyle and in so many ways has proven to be pretty dangerous. I started doing this professionally when I was 19 and sometimes I can’t believe that 20 years later I’m still here. This song acts as a love letter not only to the road and all of my travel companions over the past two decades, but also to Katie, who I met playing shows when we were very young. Sometimes it’s amazing to zoom out and remember where we began compared to where we’re at today – both as romantic partners and songwriters.”
CFCF – ‘Let’s Kill Ourselves’
CFCF has announced a new LP, L.U.V., set for release on June 12. “The overall vibe of L.U.V. is meant to be sort of eurodance with a sophisticated edge,” Mike Silver said of the Memoryland follow-up. “It’s music for an adult lifestyle.” Sometimes, according to the lead single ‘Let’s Kill Ourselves’, that means getting together to kill ourselves. Vibes! The track comes paired with a music video directed by Aaron Garcia Peret.
Wendy Eisenberg – ‘Vanity Paradox’
Wendy Eisenberg has unveiled ‘Vanity Paradox’, the final single off their upcoming self-titled album. “These lyrics came out in one wild, puzzling chunk I’m still deciphering,” the artist reflected. “Mari [Rubio] told me it sounds like how anxiety feels, which shocked me — but is ultimately just true. From what I can tell, it’s about the ways we cope with existing among others, and how it feels to want to be perceived as a good person by your friends, because your curiosity about yourself has, paradoxically, obscured you to yourself. It’s also about healing from trauma — specifically how the healing process brings you so close to yourself that you can’t see anything clearly, and you are so dazzled by the life surrounding you that you are stunned when you remember that you are the same person who experienced the trauma that got you here.”
ELUCID & Sebb Bash – ‘The Lorax’ [feat. billy woods]
New York rapper ELUCID and Swiss-born producer Sebb Bash are releasing a joint LP, I Guess U Had To Be There, on Friday. ELUCID’s Armand Hammer bandmate billy woods features on the latest single ‘The Lorax’, which is haunting.
Mei Semones – ‘Tooth Fairy’ [feat. John Roseboro]
Mei Semones has tapped John Roseboro for ‘Tooth Fairy’, the entrancing second single from her upcoming EP, Kurage. “This song is about a day I was meeting John Roseboro at his friends’ bookstore,” the singer-songwriter recalled. “I got off the train in Greenpoint and we happened to have been on the same train, and we ran into each other on the platform. He smiled and told me his tooth had just fallen out, and held out his hand to show me. So I was inspired to write a song about that and our friendship. Thanks to John for being down to join me on the song and always being a good friend and inspiration to me 🙂 Musically, one of my favorite parts is the arpeggiated guitar chords, inspired by a Guinga tune I learned.”
Lip Critic – ‘Jackpot’
Lip Critic’s frantic, eruptive new single, ‘Jackpot’, is the latest preview of their forthcoming album Theft World. “‘Jackpot’ is a song about risking it all, and winning it all, betting the house, and ending up with two houses, then waking up with nothing at all,” the band said.
Real Lies – ‘A Land Beyond’
Real Lies have dropped a shimmering new track called ‘A Land Beyond’. It’s the latest in a series of tracks following the release of last year’s We Will Annihilate Our Enemies.
Hyd – ‘Angel’
Hyd has announced a new album, Hold Onto Me Infinity, dropping May 22 on Cascine. Recorded with producer Hudson Mohawke, ‘Angel’ is the former PC Music affiliate’s radiant ode to SOPHIE.
Koyo – ‘What I’m Worth’
Koyo have unleashed a new song, ‘What I’m Worth’. The ferocious track arrives with a video from director Eric Richter.
Gouge Away – ‘Figurine’
Gouge Away have signed to Run for Cover, marking the news with a fantastic song called ‘Figurine’. It was tracked by Larry Crane at the legendary Jackpot! Recording Studio in Portland, WA, and vocalist Christina Michelle had this to say about it: “’Figurine’ is the first song we finished with Theo Hartlett (Ovlov, Pet Fox), a friend of ours who has been touring with us on guitar. We wrote this song while on tour last fall and it came together so easily. I went into writing the lyrics with an entirely different idea in mind, but these spilled out of me on one of the drives. Before the tour, I was digitizing home videos, having to see myself as a kid from an outside perspective. I knew I was shy, a people-pleaser, and all these things, but it was different to watch it on film. I was always afraid of disappointing people so I made myself small and rarely acted outside of this little box I found myself in. Instead of getting into trouble like most kids, I didn’t really break out of my comfort zone until much more recently. I thought I had to work really hard to be loved. I stretch myself so thin to please everyone else that it winds up being the expectation. I found people who love me, even when I am a messy trainwreck, and that toppled my entire reality. And yet, there’s still this little kid inside of me who is afraid of upsetting her parents. We recorded this song live to tape in Portland at Jackpot! It was our first time working with Larry Crane and it was so much fun.”
