indie underrated

Timmy Skelly‘s new single “Nowhere Land” is a folk rock spectacle! Its eclectic mix of acoustic and electric instruments alike will have you hooked and perplexed. Prepare for the song to go right, and it will go left. The only certainty of the song is the absolutely show-stopping, bluesy vocal performance. Yo, talk about pipes! We think fans of artists like Mt. Joy and Dawes should love this one.

We love what we hear in “Sweet Tea,” the title track on the newest EP by RIMENY. This song is characterized by a smooth and restrained instrumental arrangement that leaves plenty of room for a catchy and well-layered vocal arrangement to shine. The melodies are memorable, and that drowsy, R&B-inspired guitar solo is stylish. We think it’s a sure thing for fans of The 1975.

“Howl” by Gabriel Comba is not a song you listen to, it’s a song you experience. This indie folk single starts with a strummy electric guitar (à la Neil Young), patient drums, and grainy vocals. From there, it develops slowly into something gripping and grand until it becomes passionately unhinged near its demise. We recommend it for fans of artists like Sparklehorse and/or MJ Lenderman.
