Sam Fender, Lucy Dacus, Lily Monaghan, Since11, Adult Leisure added to our New Music bin


Sam Fender: Arm's Length


The title track of his new LP, People Watching, has been getting airplay for the past few months, and now the full album is out. We're choosing this song for the New Music bin - one that's less depressive than most of the tracks and features backing vocals by Brooke Bentham. The lyric suggests two people getting closer - "Arm's length, small talk, and then some company" - while being wary about opening up: "Do you have to know me inside out / To have a good time?"

Lucy Dacus: Best Guess


Here's the latest single from the upcoming album Forever Is A Feeling by the Virginia-born singer-songwriter who is also part of Boygenius. Northern Transmissions calls this track "Dacus’ take on a love song, an anthem of queer tenderness that captures that mix of excitement and uncertainty as two people take a romantic chance with one another."

Lily Monaghan: Willing To Wait


From Edmonton, Alberta, comes this singer-songwriter who cites Brandi Carlile and Hozier among her inspirations. We previously featured "On Hold" from her debut EP, and this track will be on her sophomore effort. "This song is a love letter to friends," she says. "I’m a firm believer that platonic relationships can be as fulfilling and nourishing as romantic relationships, and I am aware that I’m lucky enough to have a massive abundance in these types of relationships."

Since11: Magic Moments For Rent


OK this is different - Two guys from the Swiss Alps making music that, as they put it, "sounds like a cocktail on a Hawaiian beach." The lyrics of this new single evoke casual flirtation by the sea: "This game of glances, fun in the sun / Both playing it cool, not fooling anyone / Just in that moment, a beachside scene / Nothing serious, living the dream."

Adult Leisure: Dancing Don't Feel Right


The latest single from this Bristol, UK, band is billed as "a refreshing dose of escapism." The band says the song is "about the urge to let loose, to break out of the mould and do the bad thing."
