Raine Mara-Congraddds

Raine Mara’s new song, Congraddds, is an effortless blend of indie pop and midwest emo.

Raine’s vocals are at once carefree yet convey so much feeling, with layers of distortion that add a grunge feel to the music. Fans of artists like Japanese Breakfast, MGMT and glass beach will love Raine’s music.

Tigerblind-Hold You Tight

Fans of Mac Demarco and Alex G will love Tigerblind’s new song, Hold You Tight. This track is a summery, chill indie rock song from the Dallas based artist Tigerblind. Acoustic guitars accompany muffled drums for a sound that feels like it was plucked straight from a beat up, old vinyl record. The lyrics are bright and romantic, with a warm sound accompanied by a vocal soaked in reverb and tape saturation that add to the retro feel. This song is a fun, gorgeous twee pop track perfect for a drive to the beach with friends.
