Hello! And welcome back to our running series where we share some of our favorite new releases from today (January 14) and throughout the week. Here, we are happy to offer a great batch of tunes from artists like Cautious, Cat Power, and Angel Olsen.

So, without further ado, let’s get into the music, shall we?

1. Cautious Clay, who has one of the best pure singing voices in all of music, announced the deluxe release of his debut LP, Deadpan Love, which is set to drop on February 11. To celebrate the release, he shared one of several new songs, “Rapture in Blue,” which you can see here below.

2. On Thursday (Jan. 13), Angel Olsen released her latest, “Something on Your Mind,” which is a cover of Karen Dalton’s 1971 version of the song originally written by Dino Valenti. The cover is part of a release from Light in the Attic Records honoring Dalton. Check it out here.

3. Cat Power, who is a genre unto herself, has released a new covers album called Covers. To celebrate the release, we wanted to share a subversive cover that Power did of one of her own songs. “Unhate” is a reimagined version of “Hate” from her 2006 LP, The Greatest. Check it out below and check her new album out afterward.

4. British Band The Wombats also have a new LP out today (Jan. 14), Fix Yourself, Not The World. This morning, the band released its latest video for the LP’s single, “This Car Drives All By Itself,” which you can enjoy in all its delightful wry observance.

7. The Smiths’ co-founder Johnny Marr released a new solo single earlier this week, “Night and Day.” The track whispers and wiggles into your ears and rests there as if your lobes are hammocks. Take a listen to the new tune here below.
