indie underrated

Fans of artists like Catfish and the Bottlemen or Rainbow Kitten Surprise should love this new single by Big Sleep! “Don’t You Wanna” features a mix of clean and dirty guitar tones on top of a compelling, Motown-inspired groove. These elements combine to make a sharp instrumental arrangement, and the grainy in-your-face vocals complement it well to achieve an overall sound that is classically indie rock.

Check out, “Lost in Love,” an inviting new bedroom pop single by Gimme Gimme. This one gives us café vibes: the percussion is subtle, the guitar tone is smooth, and the vocal layers are deep and warm. We think it fits beautifully in a category with artists like Clairo and Khruangbin.

“Ice Cream” is the uninhibited new indie rock single by BÜNNI that we can’t stop listening to. The performances sound loose and noisy, and the melodies have a memorable simplicity to them. The song feels artistic in a playful and intuitive way, and we think fans of bands like The Flaming Lips will really like it.

Crayfish impresses with the release of its newest single, “Points for Stopping.” This indie rock tune is raw: the performances are tight, but the recordings have a dirt on them that make the song sound especially authentic. The repeating digital melody is cool and ominous, and the guitar refrains are tasteful. We recommend this one for fans of Cage the Elephant and DOPE LEMON.
