Melody Prochet took the title for her new Melody's Echo Chamber album, Unclouded, from a Hayao Miyazaki quote about achieving equilibrium and clearing away hate to create space for acceptance. The follow-up to 2018's Bon Voyage is a showcase for suitably unburdened and dreamy psych-pop with rolling basslines and reverb-cloaked vocals, resulting in music that's more floral wisps than paisley curls. Even the song titles themselves invoke a trippy 1970s film: Eyes Closed, The House That Doesn't Exist, Flowers Turn Into Gold.

So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we'd call "indie," and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here's a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.

"It's very much inspired by the history of our city and the Gaol house that stood on the south gate bridge many years ago, lyrically I had hoped to evoke images of silhouetted city walls and security fences," says frontman Euan Manning. "Sometimes aesthetics can carry a song from its inception to its completion. Kevin Barry's novel 'City of Bohane' also served as inspiration for a gothic re-imagining of Cork."

Kaizen - A Factory Story is a puzzler set in 1980s Japan where players build popular electronics like calculators and arcade cabinets.

"Starlight reaches for a kind of euphoric melancholy-a guiding light in all of my music. It’s shaped by my love of the melancholic songwriting traditions of Europe from composers like Monteverdi and John Dowland, all the way to 90s Eurodance and the uplifting trance of the 2000s-artists like Gigi D'Agostino and Alice Deejay."

Cash Cobain is set to embark on his inaugural headlining tour, the Party With Slizzy Tour, stretching across 22 locations in the U.S. and Canada this fall.
