New Tunes 7.2.2025
Hello, music lovers! š¶
It's Friday, and a new selection of fresh #newtunes music is upon us, for the weekend and beyond. Well-known and lesser-known musicians offer us their works to listen to. We don't know (yet) whether any of them have had a global hit.
Something for everyone! Eight songs of different genres invite everyone with a few minutes to listen. If you don't like something, skip it.

Jethro Tull ā The Tipu House
Jethro Tull, actually Ian Anderson, who has released 24 studio albums and as many live and compilation albums with new and old collaborators, announces a new album, Curious Ruminant, to be released in March this year. Standard Jethro Tull progressive sound, excellently produced and superbly played, in this song, but I don't hear anything surprising or new. But for the fans, it doesn't even matter.
Lords of Lounge - Surf the New Wave
Lords of Lunge is a new German band from Berlin. They have released two albums, the last one, Lords of Lunge 2, in September 2024. They are also a new band for me, but they are into guitars, reverb, and easy-listening rock, as the name suggests. As they say themselves,
Our method is simple: We record everything we compose. No demos. No overdubs. Pure vibes and inspiration straight to tape.
I don't know if the song "Surf the New Wave" is a prelude to the third album, but it's distinctly surfer. Maybe a new wave of surf rock is coming, aka neo-surf.
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - March On For Pax Romana
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets is a band from Perth, Australia. A mix of indie psych-rock and jittery garage guitar riffs, they draw us into stories and soundscapes similar to those of another Aussie band, King Gizzard and Lizard Wizzard. The song March On The Pax Romana is a preview of a new album that will be released in May this year, but it is untitled.
Elektrokohle - Introspective
Elektrokohle is (another one today) a band from Berlin, Germany. Kalt Wie Du Bist is their first album, released a week ago, and is dedicated to their bassist, who never saw an album release. Every track features dark wave and gothic music from the 1980s, with a dose of Siuxie and Joy Division. We'll see where it takes them.
Laura Agnusdei ā Oasi Bar
Laura Agnusdei is an artist and electronic musician from Bologna, Italy. It's a new name for me. Since 2016, she has been researching electro-acoustic music, using improvisations and the saxophone as a primary instrument in multi-layered sound compositions.
The song "Oasi Bar" is from her latest album, Flowers Are Blooming In Antarctica, released in January. I will try to see her live next week in Ljubljana.
White Denim - Econolining
White Denim is an American band from Austin, Texas. They have been performing since 2006 and have played a variety of genres, starting with garage rock and punk with raw production and fast tempos and continuing in the experimental waters of rock, blues, and psychedelia to progressive rock. They have released 13 albums to date, the latest, entitled 12, from which the song Econolining is taken, at the end of December last year, with which they entered the field of indie-pop, light and listenable, but not in the sense of bubblegum songs but with musical weight.
Anna B Savage - Donegal
Anna B Savage is a British singer-songwriter from London. She has been performing since 2015 and has released three albums, most recently, You & I are Earth, at the end of January this year. Her songs have always been personal, fragments of her life, and reflections on interpersonal relationships, loneliness, and creativity. Unlike her previous albums, this latest one doesn't use electronics and sounds quite organic; the lyrics are more like poetic prose.
Bob Mould - Neanderthal
Bob Mould, an American musician, probably better known to the general public as the guitarist and composer of the bands HĆ¼sker DĆ¼ in the 1980s and later Sugar in the 1990s, has announced the release of his fifteenth solo album, Here We Go Crazy, for 7 March this year. The opening song, Neanderthal, sounds like a frantic sprint through the darkened corridors of a claustrophobic labyrinth full of tension, conflict, and aggression.
š¶That's all for today, and enjoy your weekend with new songs!
