Best new songs this weekend: Hilary Woods, Boys Noize, Laura Veirs...

Irish singer Hilary Woods (some might remember her from the band JJ72) released 'Orange Tree', a lovely and gentle song, from her upcoming sophomore LP 'Birthmarks'. Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo releases 'Names of North End Women', his collaborative album with Spanish musician and producer Raül Refree, next week and he’s just shared 'Words Out of the Haze' producing plenty with just chimes and electronic percussion. German-Iraqi producer Boys Noize has released single 'Crush' featuring Rico Nasty. Czech electronic musician and queer activist has released 'Gossip' from her debut 'Fountain', produced using only her voice. Laura Veirs usually records songs after a process of editing and fussing, whereas with 'I Was A Fool' she grabbed her phone and "recorded this song as it wrote itself - it came out this way, completely formed and realized. I’ve released 11 albums, and this is the first song I’ve released that I recorded myself, in the moment, on my own"; it's about breakup.
