Each week, The FADER staff rounds up the songs we can't get enough of. Here they are, in no particular order. Listen on our Spotify and Apple Music playlists, or hear them all below.

London-based Speakers Corner Quartet's next album is the soundtrack to Mr. Loverman, a new TV series based on Bernadine Evaristo's novel about a man who moved from Antigua to London in the 1960s and is hiding a gay relationship from his wife. The first track released from Mr. Loverman is a cover of Arthur Russell's "This Is How We Walk On The Moon" with Tirzah on vocals (the album, due on November 8, will also feature Mica Levi). The new version of Russell's classic is delivered with a bleary-eyed earnestness, built around the indelible sound of Russell's looping violin strokes. —David Renshaw

There is a creeping malice to "purepurepure," the latest cut from Philadelphia's Her New Knife. Muddy basslines squelch underneath tension-filled guitars and provide the backdrop for Edgar Atencio's vocals, delivered with a whisper that implies a shared secret. Catch the band on tour with the similarly noisy (and recent Gen F subject) Julie this October. —DR

Eddie Chacon's new album, Lay Low, due in January 2025, was produced entirely by Nick Hakim, and its lead single, "Empire," features long-time collaborator John Carrol Kirby. Chacon is locked into his cool, elder-R&B groove right now, but while "Empire" is rich and soulful, Chacon finds himself in an anxiety-ridden state of sleeplessness. "Everything we have is like an empire that we built upon the sand," he sings over and over as if repeating the mantra will stop the grains from slipping between his fingers. The sleekness of the music Chacon makes with Kirby, and now Hakim, too, can do little to soothe his concerns. —DR

454’s Casts of a Dreamer is more of a mood than an album. That’s not a dig; the New York City-via-Atlanta rapper-producer — generally hyperactive in the former capacity and charmingly chipmunked in the latter — is an elite vibe curator. Listening to his latest project, released unceremoniously last week as a single, hour-long track, feels like cruising across an urban sprawl as dusk becomes night: windows down, accelerating well past the highway speed limit but slowing far below it at street level to take in the surroundings. “Bout it” — track three on side A, according to COAD’s YouTube description — takes the former tack, 454’s foot on the gas as he skates across a hyphy-indebted instrumental. Comfortably fitting its sub-two-minute timeframe, it’s a hundred-yard sprint, but 454 never breaks a sweat. —Raphael Helfand

Ovrkast. projects an underdog persona: glum artistic alias, unassuming flow, introspective lyrics. But on Kast Got Wings, his new collab with prolific producer Cardo, he’s confident, even cocky at times. Whether it’s from rapping over another beatsmith’s instrumentals (Kast has also amassed a head-spinning body of production credits) or the hard-won flowers he’s received in recent years, the Oakland MC sounds as unabashedly locked in as the best of them. “Free Up Sumn” is the best of all worlds, combining his insight for self-reflection, his knack for evocative storytelling, and his newfound swagger to satisfying effect. —RH

Contour’s willowy vocals and slippery production can make his music feel elusive at times, like liquid silver slipping through fingers. “Reflexion” is one of several singles from his forthcoming album, Take Off from Mercy, that takes a more full-bodied approach. This fleshing out is evident from the track’s first notes, but just past the 35-second mark it launches into a land of uncharted lushness. There’s a rattling, sumptuous sub bass you can sink your teeth into, a textured kick-snare, and vocals that swaddle in a way they never have in the past. “There’s a portrait to make / Brushes learn how to follow lines of a hand with no trace / of a pulse or even a sign that life is in place,” he sing-raps as the groove kicks in, poetic and free-flowing as ever but now undergirded by a driving force. —RH

“Take a trip, they said Atlanta’s only a three hour flight away from here,” Deb Never sings at the top of her latest single, “Not In Love.” She’s talking about her girlfriend, Faye Webster, the Atlanta-based singer-songwriter who released her own heart-eyed ode to Never not too long ago. It’s sweet the two artists have chosen now to simultaneously soft launch their relationship through music, and that each dedication aligns with their individual musical styles; Never’s “Not In Love” is a smoldering, shiver-inducing ballad that almost sounds like it’ll go in a more melancholic direction until its uber-romantic hook sweeps in: “I’m not in love / I’m just a fool for you.” —Steffanee Wang

TLYA X AN is an alt-pop singer from Bristol who started in the hyperpop lane though she’s ditched that for her new single, “Camel’s Back.” The song instead oozes with the nostalgic warmth of Y2K-era R&B as she sings about being at her wits end with life and choosing to embrace the chaos instead. “Flying on the camel’s back got the last straw / Will we crash against the door, well, time to find out,” she sings. If it wasn't so sleek and dreamy, it'd almost be menacing. —SW

The lead single from Panda Bear’s newly announced solo project Sinister Gift isn’t a departure for Animal Collective’s Noah Lennox, but it’s the best song he’s put out in at least half a decade. Part of this is due to his choice of guitarist, Pat Flegel, who released one of this year’s finest albums as Cindy Lee. Flegel’s crunchy, loose, but technically elite playing perfectly complements Leennox’s chugging arrangement and simple, elegant vocal line. Beyond that, though, “Defense” is just a wonderfully crafted track, produced to a tee by Lennox’s longtime AnCo bandmate, Josh “Deakin” Dibb. —RH
