In a busy two weeks for music, several new singles have emerged, showcasing a variety of genres and styles. Leading the pack is Oklahoma City's noise masters, Chat Pile, who are gearing up for their highly anticipated sophomore album with their new track "Masc". This emotionally charged song captures the sometimes harrowing experience of intimacy, as frontman Raygun Busch delivers a performance that hints at a psychotic break, intertwining traditional rock with harsh noise. The track's intricate guitar lines and punchy rhythms create a compelling soundscape for listeners.
Every Hell follows suit with their latest single "Bad Cop". This heavy-hitting track narrates a Wild West battle for dominance, intertwined with vocalist Will Gardner's personal struggles for attention within his family. The band’s upcoming EP, "Vertebrate", promises to further explore these themes through their dynamic rock sound.
Bicurious also makes waves with their single "Bicurious" from their upcoming album "Your Life Is Over Now". After a successful set at ArcTanGent, this release channels influences from post-hardcore icons while addressing emotional resilience through tough family situations. A heartfelt voice note from a late friend encapsulates the track’s core message: solidarity in adversity.
Additionally, the UK emo collaboration of Soot Sprite and Muttering delivers "Burn the Leaves". This track is a seamless fusion of both acts' distinct styles, producing a melodic yet raw emo anthem set to be featured in their forthcoming EP, "For Joy".
From industrial metalcore to indie-pop, Heriot provides the visceral intensity of "At the Fortress Gate" ahead of their debut album release, while Fightmilk offers a reflective anthem in "No Souvenirs", which addresses themes of remembrance and moving on.
Further adding to the excitement, Pendulum teams up with rising talents Joey Valence and Brae for the energetic track "Napalm", showcasing their innovative blend of drum and bass with modern hip-hop influences.
These tracks among others can be found in the latest Essential Playlist on Noizze. With this influx of new music, it seems the upcoming months will be filled with fresh sounds and powerful messages across all genres.
