indie underrated

If you’re into indie-R&B artists like Kali Uchis or Childish Gambino, you’ll love this new single by Tessa Rae. “Isn’t It Sweet” is characterized by a slow groove, distant guitar tones, and catchy, repetitive vocals. Rae’s voice is wispy-yet-firm, and it serves as the perfect centerpiece for this intimate track. Check it out now!

Get a taste of the highly-anticipated Pine Barons LP, TV MOVIE, by listening to “LILO.” This indie pop single begins with a collection of modern, oscillating instrumental melodies. When the vocals kick in, they do so in the perfect register and, from that moment on, all elements of the song coalesce energetically. Fans of artists like Fishmans and Bibio should love it.

We love what we hear in “How Do I Learn To Swim,” the newest single by Aj Dyce. This indie synthpop track is a masterclass in sonic tension. The atmospheric digital tones and deep, warm vocals escalate in the verses and lead to swelling choruses that break on a punchline. Every time that moment comes and the song’s central phrase is repeated, the music delves back into the unknown. We recommend it for fans of artists like Future Islands.

Check out this mesmerizing, new, slowcore single by Majken! “A Siren” is the type of song that can’t help but disrupt itself; as soon as it locates one satisfying groove or melody, it goes off in search of another. This makes for an enlightening listen. The vocals are smooth, and that guitar solo around the two minute mark is so tasteful. Fans of artists like Fiona Apple should appreciate the inventiveness. “A Siren” arrives in anticipation of an upcoming album, so be sure to keep Majken on your radar!
