Catching up with some notable new singles — check out the latest from Dead Sara, Spacette and Together Pangea …

DEAD SARA, “Heroes”

After releasing their first new song in over two years in late 2020, “Hands Up,” L.A.. heavy-hitters Dead Sara are back in a big way. Very big. The trio — Emily Armstrong, Siouxsie Medley and Sean Friday — weigh in on the perils of actually meeting your heroes on their new single “Heroes.” Dead Sara just announced their first tour in three years (including an Oct. 9 date at the Roxy), so maybe news about a third album (and first since 2015’s “Pleasure To Meet You”) is not far behind?

SPACETTE, “Neptune”

Spacette, the dream-rock project helmed by Jordan Heimburger, debuted last year with “City of Gold,” the precursor to a self-titled EP. He’s back with the lush excursion “Neptune,” the lead single on Spacette’s second EP, “You Don’t Have to Rise to Shine,” out this Friday. “‘Neptune’ is a windows down kind of song about finding the joy in not fitting in,” Heimburger says. “Not that it’s easy to be different, but like what other choice do you have? It’s a celebration of not letting the steamroller of normie energy we live around every day put out your light. Realizing the unique things about you aren’t flaws, they’re what make you beautiful. We had a great time making this music and indulging a recent obsession with plants and a perennial affinity for layered imagery in the video.”

TOGETHER PANGEA, “Nervous”

On the latest single from their album “Dye,” L.A. rockers Together Pangea sing about being trapped between stultifying, pandemic-inflicted isolation and the utter disdain for living in fear. Here’s the pandemic in a verse: “It makes me nervous / It makes me wanna get high / Nothing can hurt us / can’t be afraid till I die.” The new song follows “One Way or Another,” “Nothing to Hide,” and “Marijuana” as the band marches toward the album’s Oct. 22 release (and their Oct. 23 album-release show at the Troubadour). In the meantime, they plan to do a live-stream on Bandcamp this Friday.
