Dreamy lo-fi indie guitar tones and honest vocals guide us into something ambient but organic, as musician and songwriter Charlie Bulmer introduces the authenticity and passion of his music, with worn out sweater.
Indie Pop
Lush organic piano, strings and guitars light up an indie pop warmth that’s heartfelt, timeless, and naturally uplifting. UK songwriter and acoustic musician Euplasia kicks off an extensive 12-month release schedule for his new album, and ‘You Wonder’ is an inspiring introduction to the project.
Multi-instrumentalist Olly Davidson leads us with evocative and unique, classically inspired piano, into an ambient, reverb-soaked realm of quiet contemplation, and contrastingly uplifting indie gems, for the beautiful new album Up and Awake.
Songwriting and substance first, creativity intertwined – an electronic-pop nostalgia elevated by personal and poetic reflections on modern love. Kath Moskvina delivers an anthemic and addictively catchy new single, for Baby You Are Mine.
Lo-fi rhythms and hazy bass, clean keys and catchy melodies – a dreamy indie ambiance and dynamic vocals guide us into a deeply introspective, relatable and comforting realm. Jordi and Sophie Woodhouse join forces, for the blissful earworm Think Too Much.
An absolute jam, in my own reactive terms – Michael P O’S captures an instant earworm and groove, with the infectious energy and reggae vibes of Words.
Great songwriting, good vibes, a seamless voice that’s born to perform and connect in this way. Maria Monroy brings back the upbeat and colourful energy of indie pop’s past, with the catchy and live-band-backed Getaway.
Good songwriting stands tall, something authentic and well-built – a strong acoustic backdrop, a lush groove and lush vocals, a sense of meaning at its core. Wyoki delivers an alternative earworm on that front, with the strangely enthralling, imperfect but beautifully addictive Hotel.
Something cool, calm, and uncompromising – a strong groove, alternative but all-consuming, with delicate vocals that are intimate and honest in their self-reflective realism.
Lush and hypnotic old-school trip hop vibes bring mellow ethereal mixing alongside organic guitar riffs and softly spoken melodies. Germany’s ATOMIC FRUIT capture a sense of alternative brilliance, in my view, with the humility and dark melodic stylings of Medicine.
Hailing from the Netherlands, New Key is an elusive modern artist, writing and recording songs organically, and with little concern for social media or image – the music speaks for itself.
Ultimately feeling like a huge power-pop ballad at its peak, the essence of Selfish is again that twist of angst and unexpectedness that runs throughout Kyle Jaymes’ songwriting. The music is beautiful, but the sentiments are loaded with pain and self-preservation; an outcry against someone whose Selfish choices have been unignorably suffered for far too long.
