Perennial are keeping the party kicking. The New England trio has been making us dance with the irresistible Modernism singles “What’s New On The Beat Scene” and “Modernism,” and now they’re doing it again with “Ready! Steady! Go!”

Dying 4 release their debut EP Perish Songs next month. The indietronica project of Blue Bendy guitarist Joseph Nash unveiled “Strafe” last month, and now he’s sharing the sprawling, twitchy tune “Topaz.”

Last month, Jess Williamson announced her new album A Mile South Of Heaven and shared the poignant lead single “Goodbye To All That.” Now, the country-folk artist is back with another charming, pedal steel-adorned beaut called “Tracking The Tropics.”

Lily Seabird has been blowing us away with her Lightspheres On Their Way singles. Since last year’s Trash Mountain, the Burlington singer-songwriter has been leaning into loudness with “Election Day” and “Portal To The Past,” but she’s returning to a mellow acoustic sound with today’s offering “The Afterglow,” which was partly inspired by the death of folk legend Michael Hurley.

You know that scene from Trainspotting where Ewan MacGregor’s Renton finds himself at a dance club, getting his mind blown by a techno anthem and considering the idea that maybe the world can change in good ways? “One thousand years from now, there’ll be no guys and girls, just wankers. Sounds great to me.” That’s how I feel when I hit play on “Rolling Face,” the dizzily booming new single from the Leeds dance-punk crew Adult DVD.

“Well, how lucky can one guy be? I found some pals as dumb as me.” That’s the dream! It’s also the opening line from the new Whitmer Thomas song “Terminal Crew Of Dudes.” Alabama native Thomas is probably better-known as an actor and a comedian than as a musician. Last year, for instance, he was the hypnotized dad in Weapons. But Thomas also makes a lot of music. Jay Som produced his EP Tilt last year, and his song “Candy Corn” came out earlier this summer. This Friday, he’ll drop a new HBO comedy special that’s also called Terminal Crew Of Dudes, and the song comes from that.

“Walk With Love,” the latest song from Radiator Hospitals’ Sam Cook-Parrott, doesn’t mince words. The third single from his forthcoming studio album Distorting Time, following “A Fine Vintage” and “Wall Between Us,” has a simple yet powerful message at its heart: “There’s so much you can’t control, but this choice is yours. Are you gonna walk with love?”

Chidi Obialo is a 20-year-old Nigerian-born, Houston-based electronic producer who specializes in sample-collage tracks that never show the slightest adherence to any particular genre. He makes a whole lot of music, and he landed on my radar when my old friend Ryan Dombal profiled him for Hearing Things earlier this year.

Upstate NY duo Babehoven are releasing their third studio album I See Them, I See Me next month. They’ve already released the singles “Lasagna” and “Blue Around You.” Their new single, which dropped today, chases a different hue. It’s called “Three Reds.”

Douglas McCombs, of bands like Tortoise and Eleventh Dream Day, is also one third of the Chicago trio Black Duck, which also features Bill MacKay and Charles Rumback. Black Duck released their self-titled debut album in 2023, and now they’re teaming up with Basque musician Elena Setién for the collaborative full-length Black Duck With Elena Setién. We’ve already heard lead single “Land Of The Many Eyes,” and now they’ve shared “Funeral In My Brain,” a gorgeous six-minute reverie based on an Emily Dickinson poem. If you can imagine an extremely chill, relaxed version of Horses-era Patti Smith, that’s how this sounds. Check it out below.
