The Internet is a big place. Trim the fat and have a listen to some of our favorite songs that came out this week, from pop to hip hop and everything in between. Check back each week for a briefing on what you missed in music.

Chromatics: “Shadow”

Italians Do It Better mastermind Johnny Jewel has been teasing the upcoming Dear Tommy since February. If “Shadow” and the other pre-release singles are any indication, he’s further expanding his monopolistic hold over stirring, cinematic, late-night driving music.

Dilly Dally: “Purple Rage”

If anyone from Dilly Dally is reading this, please please please send me your album. This is no joke; I can be reached at andrew at jonkmusic dot com. I seriously cannot get enough of this shit.

Oxford Drama: “Preserve”

“Preserve” is much more fun than this band’s name lets on.

Fresh Snow: “Don’t Fuck a Gift Horse in the Mouth”

Sometimes a title says it all.

CHVRCHES: “Clearest Blue”

The three singles CHVRCHES released leading up to their debut The Bones of What You Believe found the band batting a thousand. While the buildup to Every Open Eye has felt more humdrum, “Clearest Blue” is a line drive shot, a song that shows why CHVRCHES are rightfully the most hyped band among their peers.
