One week passed, and I'm sharing the #newtunes music selection again.
There are new songs from different styles, by well-known and lesser-known and even unknown artists, to listen to for the weekend and beyond. There may even be a hit; who knows?
I'd be happy to share some good music if you come across something you like. But if you don't like something, feel free to skip it.

Aquaserge comes from France. A new group for me. They've been working since 2009, and their seventh album, La Fin de l'Economie, was released a week ago. They serve us a dose of polymorphic indie music that finds its sources in different genres, from pop, kraut, and psych to free jazz, drawing on the audio archives of French literary movements like Oulipo and even Dada.
Guitar music with a touch of electronica and a European flair.

Shabaka Hutchings, a Londoner, also called King, one of the most prominent English multi-instrumentalists, has been part of 1000 Kings, Shabaka and the Ancestors, Jazz Warriors, London Brew, and of course The Comet Is Coming and Sons of Kemet, which have made him one of the most prominent faces of London's new jazz. He is sure to be a legend, if not already...
A year ago, he announced that he would put the saxophone on hiatus and take up the wooden flute. These sounds appear on his latest album, Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace. The music is peaceful, meditative, practically pseudo-therapeutic, and has a global character thanks to the geographically diverse instruments. It deals with resonance in space and nature and contrasts his previous work's distinctly clubby, rhythmic character.

Couch Slut is a band from New York, active since 2013, with four albums under their belt, the latest of which, You Could Do It Tonight, was released in April this year. Couch Slut plays noise rock, which is a mix of hardcore and metal. What's extreme about all this is the lyrics, or the content, which is more or less a narrative about everyday violence and unpleasant true stories.
I chose the song Censored. The title is censored on Spotify; in the original, it's called Wilkinson's Sword, about stealing scalpels and cutting your skin. And no, it's not a futuristic dystopia; it's happening here and now.
I recommend the whole album if you enjoy in pain...

OdNu, or Michel Mazzaj, is a South American artist from Buenos Aires who works in experimental electronics. He has released three solo albums, the last one, Ronroco Rococo Memories, two weeks ago. The album's name shows that he deals with memories and Rococo as an artistic style. He also plays the Ronroco, a traditional ten-stringed instrument from the Andes, which he uses to explore sonic deconstruction and decomposition. The result is a melancholic vibration of an ambient future.

The Felice Brothers are a folk/country rock band from New York. They started as a band in 2006, and for a few years, they played mostly in subway stations in New York. They have a long mileage, having released seventeen albums to date, either self-released or on other labels.
The song Flowers By The Roadside is the lead single for their new album, their eighteenth in a row, Valley of Abandoned Songs, which comes out at the end of June.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds again, promoting their new album Wild God, out this August, with the song Frog. Nick Cave says the album is good, and the band is happy. Right.
Who are we to think otherwise?

Serj Tankian, of American-Armenian roots, is better known to the public and audiences as the vocalist and rhythm guitarist of System Of a Down. He will release his solo album Foundations at the end of June. The song A.F.Day introduces the album.
As expected, a fast and energetic guitar ride that goes quickly into the ears is suitable for a morning alarm clock.

The Stock Goblin is an American band from Amherst, Massachusetts. They began playing in early 2022 and quickly gained popularity in the local music scene. They performed cover songs at college parties and later released their first five-song EP, Trinkets, in March of this year. Their music blends guitar-driven indie pop and rock, which I find quite enjoyable.
It will be interesting to see what the future holds for them.
🎶That's all for today, and enjoy your weekend with new songs!
