Here are our daily picks for you featuring Good Morning, Olivia Dean, Mild Minds and more!
1. “Touching Toes” – Olivia Dean
London-born singer and three-time BRIT Awards nominee Olivia Dean has released her latest heartfelt single, “Touching Toes,” via Capitol Records. The track’s intimate lyricism follows the exciting realization that you’ve genuinely fallen in love with someone. “And I feel love, like the real stuff / You don’t know and then you know / That’s how it goes,” Dean sings, her vibrant vocals weaving in and out of mellow guitar lines. Dean’s rise across the UK music scene and beyond is something to look out for.
2. “GEMINI” – Mild Minds
“GEMINI” by GRAMMY-nominated producer and musician Mild Minds is an infectious new electronic and dance hit. Layered with catchy R&B-esque vocal loops (“You’re the only one I need / Nobody make me feel”) and a variety of radiant synths, the new release brings a touch of soul to the dance floor. “GEMINI” is also the titular track for Mild Minds’ forthcoming sophomore album, GEMINI, which will be released Feb. 21, 2025. Starting Feb. 7, however, the Australian artist will embark on a GEMINI Album tour in cities across America and Canada. Find ticket information here!
3. “Perpetual Motion” – Phantoms
Up next is “Perpetual Motion,” a synth-infused club banger by Los Angeles-based electronic duo Phantoms. The single begs for movement with syncopated percussion hits, choppy vocal snippets, intricate ambient sounds and a groovy bassline. The track can be found on Phantoms’ eponymous EP, Perpetual Motion, a 6-track collection that brings the creative freedom of house music back to the main stage.
4. “Soft Rock Band” – Good Morning
Australia-based indie rock duo Good Morning have come out with their latest single, “Soft Rock Band.” Capping at eight minutes and 12 seconds, the song brings a certain depth with its nostalgic guitar lines and atmospheric piano melodies. “I might have seen it all but I know there’s still so much to go,” the band sings. These introspective lyrics contribute to the song’s overall bittersweet feeling, combined with a touch of retrospection for what once was. “Soft Rock Band” is featured on Good Morning’s latest album, The Accident.

5. “In the Meantime” – Wizard Tattoo
Indianapolis-based rock band Wizard Tattoo have released a cover of “In the Meantime,” originally written by Helmet. The single pays tribute to the original’s heavy nature, with the new rendition full of electrifying guitar riffs, intense vocals and driving rhythms. Even the cover art is a testament to Helmet’s original 1992 cover of the piece. “In the Meantime” can be found on Wizard Tattoo’s most recent full-length album, Living Just for Knife Fighting. Its release marks a new era for the prog rock legends as they combine sounds of the past with experimental elements of the present.
