indie underrated

Mak Ro-Hero

The latest track from Mak Ro, Hero, has us feeling extra mellow today. The Memphis based duo, comprised of cousins Eric and Kristoffer, demonstrates their love of easy going, feel good soul music. Soft upright piano and melodic basslines combine with Mak Ro’s soulful vocals for a chill summertime vibe. The track has an almost lofi feel that carries on the tradition of legendary hip hop DJs J Dilla and Nujabes, while adding a fresh take on alternative R&B.

Moods, High HOOPS-Good Vibrations

Those looking for a track with a bit more groove will love Mood’s new single, Good Vibrations. This track surely lives up to its title, with a rich, thumpy bassline, almost off kilter drums, and wonky synthesizers that feel like they were lifted from an 80s disco track. Featuring a virtuosic vocal take from HIGH HOOPS, this song is simultaneously relaxing but will have you on your feet. Fans of artists like Channel Tres, Jai Paul and Kaytranada will love the nocturnal, funky grooves.

Maureen Terrance-Get Down

Our last track, Maureen Terrance’s Get Down, shows that he is a name to watch out for in the realm of indie dance. The second track from the singer and producer, his penchant for eclectic sonics are absolutely captivating. His naive, boyish vocals combine with funky synthesizers, an upbeat groove, and distorted bass for a creative take on indietronica. Those looking for a new spin on the psychedelic synth pop sound of artists artists like MGMT, M83 and Tame Impala will be sure to love this track.
