indie underrated

“Loyal Monsters (feat. Jeffrey Perez),” is a versatile and atmospheric new indietronica single by Jnatra. The song is anchored by doom-inspired synths and hip-hop rhythms, and it’s decorated with an unpredictable array of digital tones. We love how the pure lead vocal performance sounds like it’s been put through a gritty filter, and we think fans of artists like M83 or Radiohead will too.

BEST DAD has a new album called underachiever and “make it” is one of our favorite songs on it! This track is a sonic indie R&B exploration: the artist loops a slow groove and vocal refrain, leaving plenty of stereo space available to take exciting melodic risks. It’s soulful and experimental, and we think fans of artists like Mk.gee and/or Prince will find plenty to love about it.

We love what we hear in “Swamplands,” the newest indie pop single by Alpine Reserve. This song is primarily characterized by steady rhythms, sophisticated melodies, and tasteful horns. That’s without even mentioning the clean, catchy, vocal performance. Overall, the song feels light and buoyant-yet-sympathetic. We think fans of Slow Pulp and power pop bands like Big Star will be really into it.

Check out “Unkind,” the newest single by Modern Nun. This song is an indie rock dream. It starts with simple, strummy guitar layers and blooms into a full and forceful arrangement. Despite this development, the song manages to maintain its tenderness, delivered primarily by way of a wispy vocal performance. We recommend it for fans of artists like Big Thief or Sixpence None the Richer.
