Dreamy indie pop arrangements with surprisingly bold and energising vocals – Nia Perez pours her heart into soul into both the writing and performance process, and the result is a compelling and intimate yet often euphoric, personal EP.
Indie Pop
Lush riffs, an old-school pop-rock warmth that’s organic and immersive, with vocals and storytelling that again lean towards the softer rock tones of the nineties and early noughties. US songwriter Zach Outman captures a sense of groove and emotional refrain that’s beautifully uplifting, memorable, and just distinct enough to stand out right now.
Vituia writes songs unfiltered and unafraid to really go there – the style is genuine, the stories devotedly unbothered by expectation or opinion, and the voice, in both writing and tone, is quickly unmistakable. The realism resounds, and Vituia’s creative escapism as such provides something defiantly pure.
Visa Anxiety are perhaps unexpectedly cool, somewhat quiet and uncertain, but ultimately uplifting in their careful contrasting of tentativeness and confidence. The band are playfully honest, interesting, and creatively rooted amidst the sounds that get things moving towards the end of a long week. I look forward to hearing more.
Great songs, genuine vocals, an artistic identity that’s refreshingly real – Kērd DaiKur is putting in the work and passion alike, to release a full-length debut album that already feels a little like a greatest hits collection for the independent creative.
Lush riffs and dreamy good vibes meet with a kind of energising folk-rock energy and brightness that’s instantly infectious. Belgian creative Hidden Shores blends indie pop, shoegaze and anthemic passion, with the limitless creative tools of AI, for the intoxicating album Mighty Oak.
The album title is on point, the comfort of melody and acceptance, crafted under a blanket of responsibility and grown-up references that are absolutely not for the younger listeners. PJ Pajamas strikes a fine balance, and these songs are a pleasure to dive into, time and time again.
Lush songwriting and equally ethereal, colourful and consuming production. Raymnd captures a fine sense of escapism and story, with the natural embrace of Godspeed & Goodbye.
Bringing serenity to the apparent chaos of a traveling lifestyle, the subtle warmth and harmonised beauty of Irène Schrader’s trilingual EP ECLIPSE is deeply enchanting and calming to let play.
Great songwriting, good vibes – a kind of careful fusion of pop-rock energy, synthpop brightness, and intimate, even delicate singer-songwriter warmth. Peter DiMaggio impresses and connects, with the unique and modest but timeless Fly Away.
Having recently launched the single Up at The Top, UK songwriter and Ste Forshaw completes the process of evolving from depression to devotion, with the indie-folk intimacy and poetic musings, stories and sentiments, of the Bluebird EP.
Charming creativity gifted songwriting that’s fearlessly confronting and honest. Nathan Stiteler recaptures the artistry of singer-songwriter exploration, with the raw and unique sentiments and stylings of Curse Words (Hopeless, Thoughtless, Fruitless.)
