indie underrated

Hugo Trist stands out with their new single De-Identify.  We love this kind of obscure indie pop. It’s seeped in incredible contrast.  Stylistically it’s like a Hozier style dance pop track, with the drum part resonating with Radiohead’s Kid A drum production.  It’s the kind of song that could reach a broad audience.  Whether you’re looking for a sentimental club banger or a dreamy chill mid day pick me up, this one brings it both ways. 

Estella Dawn is a vibe on her recent Julian.  Obscure doses of inspired poetry suit her stylistic flex.  She’s an infectious presence.  The song has some nice dramatic progressive swing too.  Stylistically it recalls an influence of Frank Ocean adapted with retro dance pop flavor.  Estella Dawn puts her sultry feminine magnetism on all of it.  Damn that’s fresh. 

Everything about Like Lovers Do is curious. The new single from Gabba Delic defies convention.  There are various doses of nostalgia intertwined between an erratic arrangement.  It’s as if several cool song ideas got weaved together and the outcome was just more exciting for everyone.  The artist themself works as a stylistic chameleon, with the production style reflecting an influence of MGMT, ELO, and ABBA.  Put that together and you’ve got something special.  Like Lovers Do fits the bill.
