Each Monday our editors and writers share the tracks they’ve been returning to — a quick way to catch what’s new, notable, and quietly infectious right now. The March 9, 2026 selection collects staff favorites across genres, from intimate singer-songwriters to dense electronic experiments, offering a snapshot of what the Pitchfork team is recommending this week.
Why this matters today: weekly playlists surface songs that often fly under mainstream radar but gain traction through word-of-mouth and editorial attention. For readers, the list is a shortcut to fresh music worth exploring — songs you might want to save, stream, or forward to a friend.
Pitchfork Selects — March 9, 2026
- Aldous Harding — “One Stop” (a quietly unsettling new single from a longtime presence in contemporary folk)
- Seefeel — “Ever No Way” (textured, reverb-drenched electronics that nod to the band’s shoegaze roots)
- Bassvictim — “Sometimes I Believe in God (Sometimes I Believe in Me)” (a title that matches the track’s introspective tension)
- Six Sex — “Not Ur Mom” (brief, punchy, and direct)
- Cass McCombs & Chris Cohen — “Ignis Fatuus, Hinkypunk, Sharkfins, and Ambergris” (collaborative songwriting with cinematic touches)
- Vv Pete, Deela, Lisha G & Utility — “Toss It” (a multi-voice collaboration that blends rhythm and attitude)
- Hiding Places — “One Hand” (moody and propulsive)
- Trez Archive & Yhapojj — “George Lopez” (an offbeat title for an equally distinctive cut)
- Hammok — “The Scene” (minimalist beats and an intimate atmosphere)
- Lene 3000 — “Body Language” (sleek production meets melodic hooks)
- Tygapaw — “Duppy Know Who Fi Frighten” (genre-blurring energy with a sharp cadence)
- Mori — “Is It Forever?” (a short, haunting question set to music)
- The Thinking of the World Began Pounding in Our Ears the Moment We Hit Shore & Florian T M Zeisig — “Walk Away” (ft. Roisin Berkeley, Cal Fish, and K. Francis Messer) — expansive, collaborative composition)
- Carla dal Forno — “Going Out” (cool, nocturnal pop from a consistent voice)
- Broncodidntdie — “Halsey St” (low-slung beats and hazy sonic textures)
- Gia Margaret — “Good Friend” (warm, piano-led songwriting)
- Nasir — “HMU” (ft. Chinapoet) — a concise, modern hip-hop cut)
The selection leans toward intimate production and collaborative projects this week; several tracks emphasize sparse arrangements or layered electronic textures rather than maximalist pop. That trend reflects a wider appetite among critics and listeners for music that rewards repeated listens and careful attention.
