Checked out some new music this morning. Here's what I liked the most.

Melvins - Stop Moving To Florida
(Frome the upcoming album Pinkus Abortion Technician)

I can't say that I'm currently a fan of Melvins, but I've been feeling curious about them for a while.
Heard a track here and there, but kind of forgot to follow it up with a full album listen.
I like the rich and punchy sound of everything in this new single.
The drums and bass especially make me think that I could get on board with this.
I get a Faith No More feel from this particular song, but let's see where the rest of the project goes when it's out.

The Ragbirds - Breakdown
(From the 2016 album The Threshold & the Hearth)

Very beautiful, evocative folk pop of some kind.
Reminds me of a variety of things, Neko Case and Faun Fables among them.
I think this track speaks well of the album, not to mention that I found it on Ted Gioia's best of 2016 list -
so I would dare to buy it without needing to hear any more. It's on my 2016 albums list now.
Good stuff.

Ana Burch - Tea-Soaked Letter
(From the 2018 album Quit the Curse)

I don't usually like this sort of folky, rootsy, jangly, americana pop, but I think I quite like this.
Ana Burch reminds me of KT Tunstall, just musically richer somehow.

IBON ERRAZKIN - Lazy Afternoon
(From the very recently released 2018 album Foto AĆ©rea .)

"A peculiar and utterly mesmerizing collection of music".
This is how a short description of this album began on this months Editor's Choice section on Allmusic.com.
Curious, I checked out a random track and I can believe that this album will be quite a ride.
Check it out for yourself.
