The IINAG team has done the heavy lifting and curated this week’s essential new tracks so you don’t have to. Check out our picks below, then head over to the playlist for the full deep dive.
Phoebe Green – There’s Always Someone Kicking the Seat
Phoebe Green shares the lead single ‘There’s Always Someone Kicking The Seat’ from her upcoming second LP, Premature Nostalgia. Produced by her sister Lucy, her long-standing bandmate and frequent collaborator, the track winds its way through influences as varied as FKA Twigs, Jockstrap and James Blake. Leading with spoken vocals à la Dry Cleaning, the track experiments with hyper-electronic pop sounds before reaching a wild, frenetic conclusion: a fitting reflection of the break-up chaos explored in Phoebe’s lyrics – Kai Marshall
Ebbb – Side On
‘Side On’ is a mesmerising exercise in sonic architecture that sits comfortably between ambient electronica and avant-pop. The track breathes through a landscape of stuttering, glitch-laden percussion and lush, swelling synth pads that feel entirely weightless. What truly anchors the piece is the vocal delivery, ethereal, layered harmonies that float like smoke over a cold, mechanical heartbeat. It manages to feel deeply intimate yet vast and cavernous all at once, a masterfully nuanced slice of late-night introspection. – Katie Macbeth
Basht – Kiera Knightley
With “Kiera Knightley,” Basht deliver a swaggering, infectious slice of indie-rock that wears its romantic obsession proudly on its sleeve. Built around an irresistible, driving bassline and sharp, chiming guitar hooks, the track perfectly captures the dizzying highs of infatuation. The vocals are effortlessly cool, balancing a casual, spoken-word cadence with a soaring, melodic chorus that will lodge itself in your head for days. It sounds like the best parts of early-2000s post-punk revival refreshed with a modern, youthful urgency. – Lauren Moreton
Squirrel Flower – Reelin’
Reelin’ is Squirrel Flower’s latest offering from the upcoming record Say a Prayer of the Gods of Getting Going. A short, emotive track where the accordion and strings drift with a gentle, almost hypnotic quality, while Ella Williams’ vocals sit low in the mix, unforced yet deeply effective. Rather than commanding attention, her voice moves like a drone alongside the instrumentation, reinforcing the song’s central tension. “Reelin’” captures the cyclical pull of domesticity, of leaving, unravelling, and inevitably being drawn back in. It’s a subtle yet impactful piece that shows a different side to Williams’ songwriting prowess. – Henry Dunn
TV Priest – The Mud Never Dries
TV Priest break their hiatus with “The Mud Never Dries,” a bruising, claustrophobic post-punk track that feels like a storm rolling in. Propelled by a heavy, distorted bass groove and jagged, screeching guitars, the instrumentation creates a wall of noise that feels beautifully chaotic. Charlie Drinkwater delivers a gritty, impassioned vocal performance that sits somewhere between a spoken-word sermon and a desperate howl, perfectly matching the track’s bleak, socio-political undertones. – Lauren Moreton
Clutter – Grease Baby
“Grease Baby” by Clutter is a gloriously fuzzy, lo-fi garage rock explosion that doesn’t waste a single second of your time. Drenched in tape saturation and scuzzy guitar distortion, the track thrives on its raw, unfiltered DIY energy and a relentless, thumping drum beat. The vocals are buried just enough in the mix to sound like they’re being yelled through a megaphone at a chaotic basement show, lending the song an undeniable sense of rebellious fun. – Evie Howles
