New Tunes 7.2.2025
Hello, music lovers! 🎶
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 – 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 – 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 Hüsker Dü 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.
🎶That's all for today, and enjoy your weekend with new songs!

My Favorite one Anna B Savage (You & I are Earth) and also baby grand is a fantastic.
I'm glad you like some! 😎🎶
love this sound. very nice one...
Thank you. I'm trying to choose something that satisfies me and maybe others, too.
Once again, a list of new releases in which there is no artist who is not worthy of a mention. You've shown a fine sense of taste!
Do you want Jethro Tull or something new like 'Jazzrock Toll' or 'Slipjob Throll'? Anyway, I'm as happy with Ian as I've ever been with him!
Lords of Lounge — at first I had the impression that Booker T. was in the process of a transformation. Which is no bad thing.
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets — The news presenter with background music. In light of the current state of the world, this is a great idea in my opinion.
Elektrokohle — On the one hand, the name also belongs to a music club in Berlin where bands like Die Einstürzenden Neubauten play, and on the other hand to a trio that reflects the Berlin scene in its entirety.
There are flowers that bloom in the Antarctic — and they're being brought to Slovenia as well? Of course, you have to see and hear it for yourself. I'll have to listen to more compositions by Laura Agnusdei before I can really make up my mind.
White Denim — who would have thought that something like British Pop could be produced in Texas?
Anna B Savage should have listened to her mum and not let something as complicated as falling in love into her previously well-ordered life. With her mother sitting on the sofa at home, the disobedient daughter would have been completely free of any complaints.
Thank you for your lucid comments. You won't believe it, but you are one of the few people from whom I accept comments, and you help me look for more quality music from the pop culture area.
But the line between that and high art is already wholly blurred.
Art is undoubtedly what I consider it to be and (this is essential when it comes to music) what is good for my ears.😉🙄

Couldn't stop listening to the second one. It got me glued to this post.
Yes, I like this sound, too :)
A great list and variety shared. Thank you so much for sharing.
