Every Monday, we bring you a playlist filled with new tracks the Melodic staff has been listening to on repeat. Hear some of our latest obsessions below:
——
Sub Urban, “Mercury” – Known for his ominous and genre-bending sound, “Mercury” falls right into place among Sub Urban’s dark-pop discography, most comparable to his single “Fingernails” from his latest full-length record, If Nevermore (2025).
– Emily McCormack
——
Florence + The Machine, “Witch Dance” – “Witch Dance” makes the album come alive. Ghostly voices cry in the background and hand drums sound throughout the song. Welch paints a picture through the song, “I tear off my nightgown and run naked through the town / Run through rain, run through fog,” and later, “I came to a clearing full of wailing and keening / A well of tears that never runs dry.”
– Ann Korwan
——
The Neighbourhood, “Lovebomb” – The “Sweater Weather” band announced their upcoming album, (((((ultraSOUND))))), which will be released on Nov. 14, via Warner Records, following a three-year hiatus. Preorder/presave (((((ultraSOUND))))) here. Ahead of album release, the band has shared three new tracks: “Private,” “OMG” and “Lovebomb.”
– Clare Gehlich
——
Matt Hansen, “DON’T LOOK BACK” – “DON’T LOOK BACK” is exactly what it says: a plea to stay in the present, to not let self-sabotage get in the way of something good because of the past. His voice soars over warm horns and saxophones that bring real The 1975 “Happiness” vibes.
