indie underrated

Tokyo Tea Room-Tell Me How

Tokyo Tea Room, a familiar favorite of ours, has really delivered with their new single, Tell Me How. The UK based dream pop outfit continues to enchant and enthrall with this lush, late summer jam. Fans of Steve Lacy and Jungle will appreciate the rich, shimmering guitars, soulful vocals and lo-fi production that recalls the work of Bibio and TV Girl.

Vlad Ogorod-Одинока

In an indie funk era where bands like Jungle and Blood Orange are creating infectious, late summer bangers, Vlad Ogorod’s new single Одинока easily stands out. The Georgian alt-funk artist has assembled a top team of jazz musicians to accompany him with some chill, midnight grooves featuring slinky Rhodes piano and syncopated drums. Fans of Vulfpeck and Tom Misch will love this track’s soulful songwriting and eclectic production.

Elizabeth Humes-sneaky

Our final track comes from Elizabeth Hume with her cinematic new track sneaky. The sensitive songstress, who currently studies at WVU, delivers another gorgeous, gentle indie folk ballad perfect for reflecting on the past. Fans of Frank Ocean and Lauvey will love the soft, slightly jazzy guitar playing, and fans of Adrianne Lenker and Clairo will love Elizabeth’s soothing alto vocals.
