With its funky, rubbery bassline, Thao‘s “Fossils” is a grabber from the get-go. And once Thao Nguyen’s vocals kick in, she’ll have you hooked for the remainder of the song’s 4:04 runtime. Produced by Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner of Tune-Yards, the single (Thao’s first new music since 2020’s Temple) is out now via Kill Rock Stars.

Check out the video for “Fossils” below.

“History Repeats Itself” is the lead single from American Aquarium’s upcoming album New Ways to Lose, due out June 26th via Losing Side Records/Thirty Tigers.

At its heart. it’s a protest song, with frontman BJ Barham looking at the state of the world today and essentially saying, “No thanks.” The final verse stands out in particular as a bit of a call to action:

I refuse to believe this is who we are
And I won’t sit back and let it fall apart
You’re either saying ok or absolutely not
You’re either giving up or giving it all you got
