Have to mention the band i’m in. Our new album " Drinking Tea & Watching Cricket" is out today. KEXP described us as a “hidden gem” and must admit we are very hidden, so that part is accurate.
FFO: Christian Fitness , HMHB , other DISers , Mrs Doubtfire and songs about when a Stepladder in Milton Keynes was mistaken for a new McDonald’s.
Caroline Cotter- Gently As I Go (Indie folk)
Tusmorke- Hestehoven (Psychedelic folk)
Rhiannon Giddens- You’re the One (folk/americana)
Mick Jenkins- The Patience (Hip Hop)
May even give the new Atreyu a go
I’m sure I’ll have some old compilations and some ambient music for you when the spotify release radar hits as well
Margaret Glaspy - Echo The Diamond
American singer songwriter indie rock.
Erregung Offentlicher Erregung - Speisekammer des Weltendes
Found these folk from someone on DiS Music League a while back. German indie new wavey
Shamir - Homo Anxietatem
alt-indie-rock-dance-pop.
Vilde - Hope
Low key earnest indie pop from Australia.
Minor Conflict - Bright Lights Dead City
Wanted to see these guys at Great Escape earlier this year, but unfortunately didn’t due to clashes. “Emerging Bristol band MINOR CONFLICT create a unique combination of post-punk and post-folk using harp, bass, drums, trumpet, and synthesiser, underneath vocal lines that flit between the monotonous and the ethereal.”
Anna Tivel - Outsiders (Live In A Living Room)
acoustic album version of last year’s release.
Forest Swords - Butterfly Effect (Remixes) - v good new single with Neneh Cherry reworked in four ways.
“From joyful two step to skunk smoked trip hop, smeared ambient to future club shuffles” with all profits going to a contemporary dance charity for people in recovery.
Except theres something charming about simplified folk songs about getting existential at the zoo, or singing laments about Harvey Milk. Reminds me of anti folk more than anything.
“Things that go in the recycling bin” is an undeniable banger.
