Classic Trucks - "Bird Underwater (ft. Mumble Tide)" A bird in the wrong element, holding on to someone just out of reach. Eventually is out February 5. The traffic was never the real problem. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week44 #ClassicTrucks #MumbleTide #BreakfastRecords go.stereobar.net/ngd11ku

We Contain Multitudes - "A Camaro" One dropped-D chord held through most of a verse and chorus, and it holds. From Say Nothing, out November 27. Why change chords when one is doing this much? #BestNewMusic2026 #Week44 #WeContainMultitudes #ExpertWorkRecords go.stereobar.net/gjyg9xp

Lambrini Girls - "Spilt" ....and now the amps go off: a fully acoustic song about alcohol dependency, delivered closer to a confession than a battle cry. The flip side of The Basement. Quiet, and every bit as heavy. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #LambriniGirls #CitySlang go.stereobar.net/a839u0y

Lambrini Girls - "The Basement" Never this close to the dancefloor: gritty bass, then distortion, and a man walled up at home with an online brotherhood, mocked and pitied at once. No Refunds is out January 15. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #LambriniGirls #CitySlang go.stereobar.net/5x9sf6f

Tune-Yards - "The Ones" Solidarity that starts with a confession: failures counted off like a nursery rhyme, then a Northern soul lift of marching drums, brass and celeste. Rare, and it works. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #TuneYards #4adUk go.stereobar.net/3vxy6d0

Blackhaine - "Northside Needs Me" Surging power electronics from Wraith9, and Blackhaine half bragging, half resenting being pinned to a northern sound. Saints In The Wethouse is out November 13. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #Blackhaine #XlRecordingsUk go.stereobar.net/x5hfdxm

PINS - "All Over" Wanting, then walking away: a chorus that turns from a demand to be adored into a request to be left, chanted like a 60s girl group over tense guitars. Album out February 12. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #Pins #HausOfPins go.stereobar.net/u7dvx4x

Slate - "The Grandfather Clock" Back in a dead grandfather's house, guilty at the history let slip while chasing ambition. A moody bassline and skittering drums gather like a storm before breaking into noise. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #Slate #BraceYourselfRecords go.stereobar.net/rvuh5u6

Robin Kester - "Perspective (Tom Sharkett Remix)" Tom Sharkett pulls Robin Kester's song darker and deep into trip-hop territory, and it hits harder than the original. Out now on Memphis Industries. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #RobinKester #MemphisIndustries go.stereobar.net/za2rd9g

Marsy - "Miss Wave" First played by Huw Stephens on BBC 6 Music, the newest single from the London four-piece fronted by Hannah Rodgers. Out now on Heavenly. Worth getting in early. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #Marsy #HeavenlyRecordings go.stereobar.net/2kowtdu

Los Bitchos - "El Pençe" (feat. Kit Sebastian) Kit Sebastian sing in Turkish over distorted guitars and microtonal Eastern melody: the band's Turkish disco dream. Los Bitchos & Friends Vol 1 is out November 13. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #LosBitchos #KitSebastian go.stereobar.net/0s4pgzd

George FitzGerald - "Hold" Road-tested in every one of his DJ sets this summer: piano dotted across a body-moving warehouse groove. Fourth album Lima Romeo is out February 12. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #GeorgeFitzgerald #DominoRecordCo go.stereobar.net/pmdjku2

Do Nothing - "Smile" Five minutes on an off-kilter, groovy bassline, with a refrain that sounds like relief at being left alone. Company for anyone on the outside. Friend World is out November 6. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #DoNothing #SubmarineCatRecords go.stereobar.net/ezwaqvc

{C}{O}{M}{B} - "Mosquito" ft. Tony Morris Tony Morris narrates a breakup letter, the dumped one half admiring the takedown, over found sounds from wood and metal bowls. Small sorrow, big charm. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #COMB #TonyMorris #BraceYourselfRecords go.stereobar.net/3cgm24n

Momoko Gill - "Rewind/Remind (Ben LaMar Gay Remix)" Ben LaMar Gay throws the jigsaw in the air: Gill's poetry, choir, drums, strings and flutes, landing among John Barry, Eddie Grant and Guadeloupean carnival. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #MomokoGill #Strut go.stereobar.net/54q5ldc

Minor Conflict - "Surveillance Operator" Squid's Ollie Judge on drums, a motorik beat that never lets up, and a lyric about seeing and being seen, after The Lives of Others. EP out February 12. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #MinorConflict #FascinationStreetRecords go.stereobar.net/nzyap52

SMILE - "Gotta Run" Leaving a family as a physical ordeal. Heavy drums, a thick, dirty bassline and Rubee Fegan half speaking, half snarling her way to shouts. Gun-Shy is out January 22. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #Smile #SiluhRecords go.stereobar.net/sb5cyo7

Nabihah Iqbal - "Heaven Can Wait" Her first track with a full band, recorded live in one room. Heavy pop with new wave textures, about summers with friends in London and New York. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #NabihahIqbal #GhostlyInternational go.stereobar.net/vk8y9s1

MG x CD + JL = - "Cross Whisper" A bird tapping at Martin Gore's studio window, two days before a friend's death. Whispers, synths and a percussive knock that keeps coming back. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #MgXCdJl #MartinGore #CliffDamavandi #JohnnieLee #Mute go.stereobar.net/0fo6ek0

Collective Fear - "Past Life Kennedy" Bass and drums run the show, guitars thicken the air and the lyric asks what a forgettable life is worth. First single from debut LP Doomed to Repeat, out January 22. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week43 #CollectiveFear #CandlepinRecords go.stereobar.net/2dn1e2h

Breeze - "Own The Place" A man staring at the same house for years turns out to own it. Dancefloor synths, a Britpop-sized chorus and James Kearns on lead vocal for the first time. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #Breeze #HandDrawnDracula go.stereobar.net/4n8oqgu

Ugly - "In Samphedoo" A made-up title, a mellotron-like keyboard and a chorus about reaching for someone who isn't there. Last single before "The South Facade", out 23 October. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #Ugly go.stereobar.net/1nm8vax

Radie Peat - "Hares on the Mountain" Learnt from Shirley Collins, sung steely and strange over a slow, heavy drone. Courtship as a world of animals, revenge turning into growth. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #RadiePeat #RoughTradeRecordsUk go.stereobar.net/fb92muu

Joe Armon-Jones & Maxwell Owin - "Interouternational" (feat. Footsie) Ezra Collective keys, Owin's production and Footsie's voice cutting through both. Grime meets south London jazz. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #JoeArmonJones #MaxwellOwin #Footsie #AquariiRecords go.stereobar.net/4y5jo78

Sleaford Mods feat. Sue Tompkins - "Cato" Pink Panther memories, Sue Tompkins as Cato wound tight and ready to spring, and Andrew Fearn's throbbing beat underneath. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #SleafordMods #SueTompkins #RoughTradeRecordsUk go.stereobar.net/15ah7rf

June McDoom - "Human Angel" Nylon-string folk on top, an Eek-A-Mouse rhythm underneath, harp and howling wind all around. Folk and dub, rarely this comfortable together. Album of the month material. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #JuneMcdoom #Jagjaguwar go.stereobar.net/g54w6a4

Released today from Caitlyn Smith, Peace in My Mind. Available for vinyl pre-order on her webstore. One of our favourite voices.

Gwenifer Raymond - "Bird Songs For Atomic Skies" Lyrebirds with new heads, foxes barking wrong, and one guitar picked fast and knotted. "A mutant rag, a blues gone awry." First for Fat Possum. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #GweniferRaymond #FatPossumRecordsUk go.stereobar.net/4dzvnro

Marika Hackman - "33" 17 to her thirties in one song, with a children's choir as the voice telling her to keep going. Opens "False Dogs", out February 19. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #MarikaHackman #ChrysalisRecords go.stereobar.net/rc4g1dm

Mother Nature - "Meditation" ft. Heavy Crownz Meditation as ritual and lift, praise to party. Rokmore on the beat, Kin Marie on the video. Big ideas, light touch. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #MotherNature #HeavyCrownz #Thegr8thinkaz go.stereobar.net/5h0z3l8

YAANG - "Leech" A live staple finally on record: pulsing, jagged, a sober voice and a drunk one fighting over the same head. Their dancefloor call, and they won't ask twice. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #Yaang go.stereobar.net/zl8wjo6

Arandel - "L'Heure du Loup (Edit)" Positive organ, harpsichord, analogue synths, spectral choirs and Louis Delorme's syncopated drums, set in the hour before dawn. Baroque and electronic, half awake. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #Arandel #InFine go.stereobar.net/9rsevbr

World News - "Vinegar Swimming Pool" A heavier riff, a bass line that won't budge, a rolled "prrrr" for a hook and a satnav voice reading out the title. Shouldn't work. Does. Debut album out October 16. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #WorldNews go.stereobar.net/vrosjii

Aesop Rock x Blockhead - "Coyote Summer" (feat. Hanni El Khatib) Plain, loud boom-bap, a lunch order recited at noon sharp and a hook about getting out at the right moment. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #AesopRockXBlockhead #HanniElKhatib #RhymesayersEntertainment go.stereobar.net/nh4gmul

Hang Linton - "DRIFTERS lullaby" An alarm in the dark, milk gone off, a back broken on hope. Then a chorus that turns the weight into something shared. More fight than fury. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #HangLinton go.stereobar.net/ohrmozc

Party Dozen - "Full Powers" Starts strutting, ends pounding. Good power, bad power, and a sax that squeals its way from one to the other. Last single before "21 Bum Salute". #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #PartyDozen #CitySlang go.stereobar.net/4j8qh7e

Caoilfhionn Rose - "Horizon" Two days of improvising in Copenhagen with Svaneborg Kardyb: light, restless keys and rhythms under a warm, hopeful voice. Lead single from "Draw Out Your World". #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #CaoilfhionnRose #LostMapRecords go.stereobar.net/gaf4p8k

The Big Idea - "Come Close (Acoustic)" No fuzz, no electric guitars: acoustic guitars and wind instruments, and the pop song underneath steps right out. First taste of "The Other Half", out November 6. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #TheBigIdea #ExagRecords go.stereobar.net/7bploas

Spiral XP - "Faith Electric" One riff, one groove, two singers: Max's harsh first half on blind faith, then Lena pulls it into half-sleep. Th' Faith Healers meet Bowery Electric. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #SpiralXp #DenTapes go.stereobar.net/4fmwj0w

Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain?

American Motors - "marlboro miles" No chorus, just reverb, hit-then-pause drums and a lost photo of a woman surrounded by cigarette coupons. Doesn't need a hook. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #AmericanMotors #ExpertWorkRecords go.stereobar.net/s5aplc5

Back seat of a bus, world collapsing outside. The Nightingales' "Hand Me My Backside" pairs hard post-punk with noir strings and a siren-like harmony, all in under three minutes. Limited flexi disc. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #TheNightingales #FireRecords go.stereobar.net/ibtlxoe

Covering Joy Division usually ends badly. Automatic's "Shadowplay" keeps the song's bones, adds hard synth bass and noise, and sounds like theirs. First release as a duo. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week42 #Automatic #StonesThrow go.stereobar.net/3bk89it

Moses Boyd's first lyrics: jazz looseness toughening into drum & bass, and Shantéh singing faith and doubt like testimony. "Criticise" judged; "More To Life" consoles. Out Oct 30. #BestNewMusic2026 #Week41 #MosesBoyd #Shantèh #BeggarsMusic go.stereobar.net/gn2bot7
