The latest tracks added to our New Music bin:
- Arkells - Handshake Thugs - Just months after their Between Us LP, the boys from Ontario are back with a single that brings to mind the Woody Guthrie line about people who will "rob you with a fountain pen."
- The Darcys - The Noise - The title cut from a new 3-track EP by the LA-based (ex-Toronto) duo of Jason Couse and Wes Marskell. They say it's "about tuning out the chatter, trusting your instincts, and remembering that you still have the fight to go after what you deserve."
- Tall Days - She Is My Girl - The New Jersey duo's new album, Breakers, leans into cranked-up amps and hard-hit drums - but this track is an exception, with congas, bongos and other percussion, and a lyric about the wonder of childhood.
- The Harbours - Breathe - This indie band from the UK's East Midlands brings us an upbeat tune about "being completely wrapped up in a moment with someone special." It will be on the EP Young Enough To Know Better, coming in December.
- Ruby Otis - Weather Systems - Ruby Otis is not the name of a singer, but of the latest project from singer-pianist Sabrina Judge, a veteran of the Los Angeles music scene who released a self-titled album in 2022. This single previews an upcoming EP.
