Aunt Daddy – “Get My Way”

July 14, 2020

“Get My Way” by Oregon act Aunt Daddy is frantic, but sweet. It has subtly surfy vibes, with tinges of emo and alt-country. “How is that possible,” you might ask (don’t worry, we’ll tell you). In most cases, it’s best just to listen for yourself… But between the charming vocal delivery, neurotically breakneck drumming, and the yawning slide-y guitar flourishes, Aunt Daddy has really nailed an excellent juxtaposition of genres and mashed them all into an endearing bedroom-production package. We’re feeling this one for sure – check it out on Bandcamp below or swing by Spotify to add it to your playlist. The Pink Cliffs EP by Aunt Daddy

Golden Vessel – “midwest”

July 14, 2020

Here’s a simmering indielectro jam from Australian solo-act Golden Vessel. The evening vibes of “midwest” invoke imagery of fleeting towns, rent-a-cars, and cross-country trips to clear the mind… Its no wonder this one would sound best as streetlights fly past, with just the subtle glow of blurry neon lights illuminating your dashboard. Check it out below – if you’re feeling it, Vessel has provided a helpful link for listening on many platforms. Golden Vessel · midwest

Spirit of the Bear – “Summer Snow”

July 13, 2020

Northeastern Ohio quintet Spirit of the Bear are really popping off with their unique blend of indie, nu-disco, and synth elements… Our pick is “Summer Snow,” which feels smooth af – an indie rocker with tinges of r&b, funk, and electronica blended into something all their own. Beyond that, the five-piece are looking comfy and vintage in their well-produced music video, conveniently located in the widget below. If you like this one as much as we did, be sure to check it out on Spotify as well.

Marsha Marsha Marsha – “I Like You”

July 13, 2020

Marsha Marsha Marsha have an upbeat one on their hands with their latest jam, “I Like You.” Utilizing big dancy drumbeats and a happily bouncy acoustic guitar riff, this one is reminiscent of The Front Bottoms with a sunny, Australian twist. There’s something to be said about infectious hooks, simple hooks about love, and a bright disposition – it certainly works for MMM. Check it out below and if you dig it, be sure to swing by their Spotify. Marsha Marsha Marsha · I Like You

Goldmyth – “My Mistake”

July 13, 2020

It’s not every day you see a harpist write a super chill indie pop song… But here we are with Goldmyth and her latest jam, “My Mistake.” Propelled by a gentle harp melody and Goldmyth’s haunting vocals, “Mistake” is equal parts baroque and melancholy bedroom-pop. Fans of Phoebe Bridgers, Soccer Mommy, or Jay Som will dig this one for sure. If you like what you hear in the video below, swing by her Spotify and add it to your playlist.

yep – “Breakup Sex”

July 7, 2020

We’ll let new synthpop collective yep introduce themselves: yep is an assembly of producers and songwriters who have multiple Grammy wins and nominations among them. For now, the members are opting to remain anonymous. This mysterious act came out swinging with “Breakup Sex,” a hooky, hazy synthpop swirl that highlights the honest, not-so-pure aspect of breaking up. Rather than focus on heartache, the band yearned to make something fun and honest… We think they hit the mark. There are lots of ways to consume “Breakup Sex” – check them all out here. yep · Breakup Sex

Shy Curves – “Dreamboat”

July 7, 2020

Feeling super drawn to the lo-fi bedroom vibes from Shy Curves. “Dreamboat” is a somber jam that simmers with a haunting sadness – think early Bright Eyes through a dream-pop lens. Fans of Girlpool or Mansions would dig this too – this is one of those mixes that hits that intangible sweet spot between lo-fi and produced. Check it out on Spotify too or shoot them some much-appreciated support via Bandcamp.

Chappaqua Wrestling – “Football”

July 7, 2020

Super jangly vibes here from UK duo Chappaqua Wresling. “Football” brings to mind late 90s indie/emo greats like American Football, Mineral, and Rainer Maria with its bright guitar riffs and far-away vocal stylings. We love “Football;” chill enough to make it onto your every day playlist, but would also slap if you heard it in a packed basement-house show. Check out the video below or swing by their Spotify for more jams.

Corner Lights – “Reach”

July 6, 2020

Corner Lights have crafted a cool indie rocker here with “Reach.” This quartet utilizes brooding vocals, a vaguely beachy vibe, and 80s influences to craft their songs. This one is a refreshingly simple indie rocker, so we especially appreciate “Reach” for its overarching mood – slightly mysterious and upbeat while staying beautiful all around. Check it out now on Spotify. Corner Lights · Reach

Varsity Star – “Headphones Kid”

July 6, 2020

Next time you’re looking to sink into a big mood, we recommend this latest one from Varsity Star. “Headphones Kid” is glitchy, warbly, and warm – lovely vibes from a strictly instrumental jam. Through their blips and bloops, sometimes electronic tracks can lose their humanity; not “Headphones Kid,” which feels truly magical on that level. Check it out now on Spotify. Varsity Star · Headphones Kid

Eades – “Vivid Dreams”

July 6, 2020

Liking this urgent indie rocker from Leeds quintet Eades. “Vivid Dreams” is no doubt a guitar rocker, built around tasty, angular riffs that bring to mind Bloc Party and the Strokes. We especially like the understated vocal delivery here – dark and mysterious, especially compared to the otherwise neurotic guitar work. “Dreams” is our latest glimpse at these guys’ upcoming debut EP, Microcosmic Things – check it out on Spotify for a taste.

Chateau Chateau – “Breakthrough”

July 4, 2020

“Breakthrough” is another great offering from musical collective Chateau Chateau. Led by a power couple known simply as Alex and Rachel, Chateau Chateau combines elements of psych rock, glam, and modern indie rock into something flamboyant and flashy. If you ever get a chance to see them live, we highly recommend it… But until then, you’ll have to settle for this ultra catchy jam. Check it out below and be sure to add it to your Spotify.

Creature Comfort – “Black Cat”

July 3, 2020

Loving this latest jam from Nashville indie poppers Creature Comfort. “Black Cat” is a guitar-based banger, full of sunny indie rock energy and interesting rhythmic play (not to mention that heady flanger). Big vocal melodies, sing-along oh-ohs, and a significant vibe change mid-song is what really takes this one to the next level for us. Check it out below via YouTube or swing by their Spotify for more tasty jams.

Rangleklods – “Like That”

July 1, 2020

Super chill synthpop vibes here on “Like That,” fresh from Danish solo-act Rangleklods. Featuring a super subtle synth palette and mysterious vocal production, this one morphs slowly into something incredibly groovy and super-danceable. “That” would be just as at home in the club as it would on your work playlist. Rangleklods has also put together a mesmerizing mood video to enjoy while you vibe-out hard. Check out the video below and swing by Spotify if you like what you hear.

All We Are – “Not Your Man”

July 1, 2020

It’s tropical. It’s sexy. It’s Liverpool trio All We Are on their latest jam, “Not Your Man.” This one is impossibly summery – pairing beachside percussion and nu-disco bass lines with lyrics about pina coladas and a bleating horn section. There’s something to be said about a song that was crafted to inspire people to have fun; this is definitely one of them. Check it out via the Bandcamp widget below or swing by their Spotify.
