New songs – From Tiny Habits’ tender loneliness to Saul Williams’ conspiratorial new chapter, a busy June 17, 2026 slate lands tracks that feel like private messages—each in its own key.
On June 17, 2026, the new music flood doesn’t just arrive—it insists. Tiny Habits offer a lead single built for the quiet parts of the day. Saul Williams returns with a first album in seven years. And across the rest of the lineup. artists keep turning the same dial: how to turn feeling into sound. fast enough to meet you where you are.
Tiny Habits opens the week with ‘Anything He Was’ [feat. Matty Heal]. The track is the tenderly poignant lead single from Tiny Habits’ just-announced album Keepers, which arrives August 28. The LA-based band made the new record with a production team including Philip Weinrobe, Ryan Linvill, and Jeremy Schmetterer. In the band’s own words. ‘Anything He Was’ speaks to “a specific loneliness brought on by someone else’s discontent. ” describing a relationship where “you still try; you show up. ” hoping “that someday it’ll be enough.” The group adds. “But it won’t (womp womp). You’ll never amount to them or the cherished moments they shared together.”.
Saul Williams follows with ‘Conspiracy,’ laying out Leap Life, his first album in seven years. The record is out August 28 via Big Dada. Contributions come from Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja. Kamasi Washington. Carlos Niño. Georgia Anne Muldrow. and Surya Botofasina. with Gonjasufi and Moor Mother appearing on the immersive lead single ‘Conspiracy.’.
Sad13—Speedy Ortiz’s Sadie Dupuis—releases three tracks today: ‘Am Now Completely Invisible’, ‘Art Institute’, and ‘Watermelon Manicure’. Dupuis is bringing back her Sad13 project for a new mixtape called 1331. made up of 13 “1 minute long-ish songs.” In press materials. Dupuis said the mixtape’s production was inspired by seeing Rebecca Black and the Hard Quartet during the same week. with glimmers of that peculiar combination showing up across the new songs.
Two Shell keeps the tempo bright even before the album drops. After last year’s surprise-dropped Icons, the duo are preparing Infinite Now, out October. While the full record waits. they shared ‘Thing About You’ today—bubbly and glimmering—following earlier singles ‘The Nightmare’. ‘Follow’. and ‘Smile’.
Pretty Sick enters with ‘home2hide,’ a hypnotically intimate lead single off Sabrina Fuentes’ third album Anarchy, which arrives September 11. The LP was recorded primarily with producer Oscar Scheller. Fuentes sings. “I thought so much about what you said that morning/ It really stuck with me/ About parties and people/ And my prerogative as you perceive it. ” and she frames the record’s guiding idea plainly: “Not caring to follow rules or meet expectations for any reason other than doing things for yourself — that’s the through line.”.
Perennial preview another upcoming shift with ‘What’s New On the Beat Scene’. The Connecticut-based mod-punk trio have announced Modernism, out September 18 via Ernest Jenning Record Co. They recorded again with producer Chris Teti and are once again releasing through Ernest Jenning Record Company. Today’s track is the first look at that forthcoming record.
Sondre Lerche’s ‘Follow the River’ carries itself like a long breath. He has previewed his forthcoming album Acrobats with a breezy 9-minute epic. Lerche explains the feeling behind it: “This one doesn’t make excuses for being completely overcome with feelings of love and desire. ” adding. “So naturally I thought. ‘I need a gospel choir on this. ’ because it’s almost indulging. maybe. as an act of defiance. in the beauty of two humans finding each other. reveling in all the little. mundane moments of that.”.
Truck Violence rounds out today’s list with ‘Gerard. be quiet. ’ unveiling their folkiest single ahead of the release of Truck Violence’s new album The weathervane is my body. The song reflects on Karsyn Henderson and Paul Lecours’ youth in rural Alberta. and the band describes it as “an ode to the times when we would weave word and melody at random. on the bus. narrativising and putting to use both our small personal observations and tropes seen in media.” Built around a central poem. the track is intended as an impression of childhood in rural Alberta. where “sweet. semi-improvised sounds layer around it. ” echoing “the jumbled recollection one has of their early years.”.
Together, these releases land with a shared sense of immediacy: loneliness, conspiracy, compressed songcraft, bright anticipation, defiant tenderness, and rural memory—each artist treating June 17 as a personal deadline, not just another day on the calendar.

So wait June 17 is like a “new songs” holiday now? I just want one song that’s actually catchy lol.
Tiny Habits?? Anything He Was?? Kinda sounds like a breakup anthem but the article says it’s “tender loneliness” and then it’s like “it won’t (womp womp)”?? Is that literally in the lyrics? I’m confused.
Saul Williams back after 7 years is wild. But I don’t get why they’re saying “conspiratorial new chapter” like it’s about politics or something. Also Big Dada… I thought that was a podcast? Idk. Either way I’ll check it out I guess.
Sad13 releasing three tracks today and it’s for a mixtape with 13 1-minute-ish songs?? That seems like a Taylor Swift deluxe trick but for indie… not saying it’s bad though. The names like “Am Now Completely Invisible” sound dramatic as hell. Also the HTML cut off at “production was…” like the article glitched??
