Hai Chairs Drop Fresh Single

With the weather trending towards chilly down here in Texas, I needed to wake up with something that would blanket me in a wee bit of warmth…that was the new tune from Hai Chairs. The UK are offering up this brilliant bit of bubbling indie rock, melding it with these wonderful little backing arrangements that impressively build in texture that blankets your listen. I really loved the tonal vocal change in the chorus, especially as you can hear the growling guitar working heavily in the background, far behind the twinkle of the piano notes that shine up front. I super love their sound, and hope you find your own warmth by jamming below.

Cootie Cathcher Share Straight Drop Video

One of the many albums on our radar for next year is the new long-player from Cootie Catcher; the group have been on our pages countless times before, but they seem to be building towards huge buzz in 2026. Their brand new single finds the group locking into the modern guitar pop boldness; they feel like they’re playing in the same territory as the most recent Beths record. For a band that employs all sort of playful harmonies, this track is all about the driving guitars and smattering of drums, creating this noisy pop rock sensation that should make you rush to pre-order the LP. Such a great song, and we’re thinking that Something We All Got is going to be equally as great, so pick it up from Carpark Records.

That New Makthaverskan Track

You likely heard this through the paywall the other day, but I couldn’t miss a chance to post new Makthaverskan music, as the vocal performance on this fresh single is absolutely huge. Sure, the swirling angularities are never a bad thing for me ears, particularly they way they slightly jangle in this mix, but let’s be real, Maja Milner steals the show. Something in Milner’s voice embraces this fervent nature, though I think she cleverly pulls it back from the more crystalline belters to offer a subtle melody in some of the spaces; you can’t deny the power present below. Their album Glass and Bones will be out in April of next year courtesy of Welfare Sounds.

T.G. Shand Unleashes New Single

We’ve been fortunate enough to hear what T.G. Shand has been up to on a couple of occasions over the last few months, with a handful of singles breaking out in 2025. Her latest seems to move her further towards lush dream pop, to a place where you’ll meet Kate Bush nostalgia and modern bedroom pop masterpieces. Synths hit and roll across the tune, with Annemarie Duff’s vocals shadowed behind those beats, every so often pulling back the curtain to reveal a clear vision of modern pop. If you haven’t had the time to hear what the project is crafting, spend a little of your morning immersed in what’s below here, then thank us later.

 

The Notwist Announce News from Planet Zombie

Was behind the paywall when news broke that the Notwist were returning with a brand new album, and upon the first listen, it does feel a bit like they’ve returned to some of their earlier fascinations. Our first hint has the group opening with a thunderous rhythm, as bit of synthetic structures seems to build behind that bounding noise. Moving the track forward, the vocals embrace a little solemnity from within, carefully sitting in the middle of a mix; ends of verses seem to be emphasized by a shattering of crashing drums/cymbals, ensuring the group are still working on their experimental approach to songwriting (though rumor has it this was recorded live in studio with all members present!). News from Planet Zombie arrives on March 13th.

More New Daphne Tunes

Just last month, our buddy Santi and Daphne Tunes snuck a brand new tune into the world, and this last week, the project announced a brand new record, slated for release in February of next year. Aside from our aforementioned adoration of all things Santiago RD, I really love the build in this song, particularly as the track opens up around the 2 minute mark, kind of like a runner hitting that last turn and really turning it on. There’s a great line that I hope rings true for the artist, as he pens the line “why’s it always everybody/wanna write me off like a hobby,” but hopefully the narrator knows his own greatness…and that of this project. Looking forward to hearing all of Volume D!

Parent Teacher Shares NVD//A Single

Feels like with all the AI generated music and algorithmic punches in the world, we can look towards artists like Parent Teacher who look to combine all the elements of the world into a unique sound all their own. I loved the shuffled of the latest single, fusing a quick bit of rhythm with a fast-paced strum that amplifies the natural energy. The percussive element is what cements the tune for me, working with lot of non-traditional pieces to create that primal movement. The vocals, on the other hand seemingly work against the frantic nature, creating this perfect juxtaposition that’ll have you returning to check your ears.

More New Music from Winged Wheel

Not too long ago we were discussing the meditative nature of the first single on the new Winged Wheel LP, but as one would expect from a group of well-seasoned songwriters, their latest track ventures off on a different path. This single almost feels like a lost transmission, with the vocals distant in their presentation; they carefully tip-toe around each little bent guitar line. Careful ears will find a bobbing little bass line maneuvering beneath, holding the tune together as the transmission reverberates in your listening space, all before crashing into each other and fading out in proper fashion. Their new LP, Desert So Green, will be out on January 9th via 12XU Records.

New Music from Cameron Sonnier

If you’re a person who loves the style and craft of a good singer-songwriter, then we hope you’ve been listening as we’ve hyped up Houstonian artist Cameron Sonnier. When listening through to his latest single, there’s something that reminds me a lot of the recent Tony Molina record, albeit done in Cameron’s own style, which fleshes more of the underlying ambiance by texturizing with synthetic structures. It’s the sort of tune that’ll let you sit back and soak in the cozy melodies of Sonnier’s work. Looking forward to hearing more from Cameron in the new year.

Shintaro Sakamoto Shares Is There a Place For You There

We realize that a lot of cool lists will probably run this week, but at the moment, I’m just starting to look forward to what’s coming out early next year, like the forthcoming Shintaro Sakamoto LP. This tune seems to be a calling to finding your own place in the world, or at least the one that fits each individual person, but its crafted in this spiritual psychedelia that usually accompanies Sakamoto’s craft. There’s this sort of mysterious bend in the guitar notes, akin to what we’d get on typical psychedelic flair, but in that, the tune ends up sort of spinning as these little flutes or woodwind cousins burrow into the song’s consciousness. It’s the best sort of trip, and look for Yoo-hoo on January 23rd via Zelone Records.
