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, August 6, 2025.

Disclosure & Anderson .Paak – ‘NO CAP’

Disclosure and Anderson .Paak have joined forces for a scintillating summer anthem called ‘NO CAP’. “Creating something with Andy has been a long time coming!” Disclosure commented. “We first met at our show at Forrest Hills in NYC back in 2015 and have been fans of his for even longer. The time finally felt right and the right song appeared. He’s one of the most talented musicians we have ever worked with and we can’t wait for you all to hear this one and perform it live together soon.” .Paak added, “This collab is well overdue and I can’t wait to feed the people! We’ve been teasing the track for a little bit and it never misses! ‘No Cap’ is the ideal dance floor banger you don’t have to think about!”

Wolf Alice – ‘White Horses’

Wolf Alice have released ‘White Horses’, the third preview of their forthcoming LP The Clearing. Following ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’ and ‘The Sofa’, it’s the only song on the album to feature drummer Joel Amey on lead vocals, and it dives into his relationship with family and heritage. “I was inspired by what songs we had already that were becoming The Clearing; the sonic shapes we were creating, the big acoustics, the harmonies, but I wanted to underpin it with a driving krautrock beat.” He added, “We’ve never really known where we came in terms of heritage until recently. My mum and my aunt were adopted, and for years it posed questions of identity and where our roots lay for all of us, but for me, they never seemed like answers I needed to find out.”

Danger Mouse & MorMor – ‘Wonder’

Danger Mouse has teamed up with Toronto indie artist MorMor for a moody new-wave soul track called ‘Wonder’. “My relationship with Danger Mouse started when he invited me to meet and play music,” MorMor commented. “From time to time, we’d hang out and listen to records or watch films, not necessarily making music — I think we were both seeing if we could find an intersection where it’d make sense to pursue an idea. ‘Wonder’ came from exactly that.”

Grumpy – ‘Bird Parts [feat. Harmony]

Grumpy’s latest single, ‘Bird Parts’, is a hypnotic collaboration with ex-Girlpool member Harmony. “In the timeline of the Piebald story, Bird Parts was the second-to-last song written,” Heaven Schmitt shared, referring to their forthcoming EP. “After the complicated excitement of Crush, the denial of Deeptalker, the last-ditch hope of Proud of You, and the devastation of Knot, Bird Parts is my unraveling.” Schmitt continued:

I was living in Chicago, realizing I was accepting crumbs and I didn’t know why. My husband and I were hanging by a thread, and the girl I loved didn’t want me, she wanted my husband. I wrote Bird Parts about that painful proximity to the thing I wanted: “my girl isn’t mine, I’m a bottom feeder / I can’t kiss her but she calls me when I really need her.” I was settling for being near her love, but not the recipient of it.

I thought maybe we could make it work. Maybe we could stay an unconventional family. But it didn’t last. I didn’t want to be the unwanted sister-wife in this collapsing matrix. I started to unravel, to question what I was even doing there.

That chaos is reflected in the song itself. It’s the only track on the EP that sings in a more vague, dream-like voice.

Margo Price – ‘Losing Streak’

Margo Price has released a new single, ‘Losing Streak’, which finds her revisiting her earliest days in Nashville. “It is a coming of age story inspired by struggle, substances and the search for the perfect song,” Price said of the Hard Headed Woman single. “It was co-written with my husband and songwriting partner, Jeremy Ivey.”

Gab Ferreira – ‘Law of Nature’

São Paolo singer-songwriter and model Gab Ferreira – whose music blends Brazilian musical traditions and dreamy psych-pop – has announced a new album, Carrossel, with the enchanting lead single ‘Law of Nature’. It’s about “reconnecting with the spark in everyday life,” Ferreira said, “falling in love with the unknown and learning to take risks.”

Casey Dienel – ‘Your Girl’s Upstairs’

Casey Dienel, the Massachusetts musician who used to make music as White Hinterland, has returned with a sharp-edged new single, ‘Your Girl’s Upstairs’, which leads the new album My Heart Is an Outlaw. The LP was recorded in Los Angeles with Landlady’s Adam Schatz on production, with contributions from Hand Habits’ Meg Duffy on guitar, Spencer Zahn on bass, and Max Jaffe on drums and production. ‘

Total Wife – ‘make it last’

“‘make it last’ started as kind of a horny song,” Total Wife vocalist and lyricist Ash Richter said of the band’s thrillingly cacophonous new single, which is taken from their forthcoming album Come Back Down. “I was experimenting with lyric writing that felt a little less serious or sappy, but the more I worked through it, the more it kind of ended up as a love song to the road, or like an ode to time passing veiled by the excitement of living. When overwhelming euphoria removes you from your surroundings and sense of time.”

dust – ‘Drawbacks’

Australian five-piece dust have announced their debut LP, Sky Is Falling, dropping October 10 via Kanine Records. It’s led by the pummelling yet hopeful ‘Drawbacks’, which is “about everyday feelings and thoughts that one experiences and leaning towards the ones that make you confused or in doubt,” bandleader Justin Teale explained. “Feelings of shame and regret in social surroundings where you should feel comfortable, and you can’t shake off the head noise. I guess this song is a way of talking to myself in the same way I do with my thoughts without sounding pretentious. With the vocal delivery being so quick it almost portrays as a word vomit of the things that you say to yourself in your head. The people around me I love and am very inspired by, I look up to them and notice how they deal with social settings and communication, it almost feels like I’m studying them.”

Jonatan Leandoer96, Elias Rønnenfelt, & Fousheé – ‘Little Gods’ and ‘My Suitor’ (Bernthøler Cover)

​jonatan leandoer96 is the alter-ego of Yung Lean, who last year released his album Jonatan, but not under that name. Confusing! Anyway, today he’s revived the moniker for an unlikely collaboration with Iceage frontman Elias Rønnenfelt and neo-soul artist Fousheé. ‘Little Gods’ is quietly revelatory, and its B-side is a dreamy cover of ‘My Suitor’ by the Belgian new wave band Bernthøler.

Aesop Rock – ‘Roadwork Rappin”

Aesop Rock’s imaginative streak continues with his latest single, ‘Roadwork Rappin”, arriving on the heels of his album Black Hole Superette. It’s targeted towards children, and it’s appropriately playful. “A few friends of mine have children who are completely fascinated by large construction vehicles,” the rapper commented. “They know all the names and functions and will cheer as trucks drive past. This song is for all the young people out there fascinated by these massive vehicles and their work.”

Twin Shadow – ‘Dominoes’

Twin Shadow has released ‘Dominoes’, the joyously intimate first single from his seventh album CADET. “Dominoes is a reflection on vulnerability, distance, and devotion,” he said of the track, which he produced with longtime friend and collaborator Blackpaw. “The chorus sings: If my heart is an ocean / it’s totally blue = I’m all in.”

Cut Copy – ‘Still See Love’

Melbourne’s Cut Copy have dropped ‘Still See Love’, a slinky, optimistic new cut from their upcoming effort Moments. “‘Still See Love’ was a tune that came together pretty quickly, written about a couple clinging to what’s left of a relationship as it slowly capsizes,” frontman Dan Whitford said. “My idea was to make a song that had a verse and chorus that came from different worlds. We tried to make the verses as loose and organic as possible, layering live bass, percussion and spaced out roomy drum sounds, inspired by hybrid disco-dub productions of artists like Arthur Russell, Francois K, and ESG. Then in the chorus the whole track empties out, going from a big cavernous space into a tiny one, driven along by a minimal stuttering synth rhythm. I love the sense of contrast we achieved in this song. It’s constantly flipping back and forth between worlds and it almost feels like it exists in two places at once.”

Guedra Guedra – ‘Tamayyurt’

Guedra Guedra has unveiled a new single, ‘Tamayyurt’, which means “full moon,” as an ode to North Africa’s Amazigh people. “‘Tamayyurt’ is not only a tribute to a cherished tradition but also a reinvention of it,” Abdellah explained. “It’s a celebration of cultural heritage, capturing the spirit of joy and togetherness during moments of celebration, such as weddings, the new harvest season, or a warm welcome to visitors.”

Adore – ‘Sweet Keith’

Irish punks Adore have announced their debut EP, BITER, due out September 26 via Big Scary Monsters. It’s produced by Daniel Fox and led by the dynamically exuberant ‘Sweet Keith’, which has some palpable Guerilla Toss energy. “‘Sweet Keith’ is a very honest and obvious song,” vocalist Lara Minchin remarked. “One of my best friends noticed that a lot of my friends have far apart eyes, and came to the conclusion that this trait was much the same as ‘prey’ eyes in the animal world. She then went on to say that she believed that a lot of my friends had far apart eyes which then translated in my monkey brain as to be gentle and safe as opposed to predators which typically have their eyes right on the front of their face. Sweet Keith is about my love for my friends and my love for how they always come as they are, their energy and their stories. It’s one of my favourite songs to play live and within the EP it is the beginning of what is to come for adore. Sweet Keith is the manifestation of all of my favourite people rolled into one name and when we play it live and people who I love are in the crowd I feel like it’s a song for them.”
