New Year, New Playlist. We try to keep up with all the latest indie singles released everyday on our Spotify playlist, the daily updated OE: Buzzworthy New Indie Singles, for an easy way to find that new new music. That can be hard to keep up with for even the crazed new music fan. Perhaps though, you just are looking for some strong recommendations in a shorter form. So for the new year, we will pair it down to at most 10 songs that we are really digging from the prior week’s newly released singles (Monday-Sunday) on our new Spotify playlist – The Weekly.
Last week’s list of new singles dropped worthy of your ears consist of everyone from Homeshake, The Japanese House, SUSTO, The Coathangers, Matthew Logan Vasquez, Dr. Dog, and many more. The songs we kept coming back to this week though and made The Weekly list of favorites is heavy on female fronted bands with Foxygen and The Love Language being the only two male led bands. It seems the ladies are consistently making some of the most interesting music lately. There is the smooth beats from Anna Of The North, the dreamy pop from Barrie, rock ‘n’ roll from Ex Hex, the hazy cinematic sounds sprawling out of Living Hour, and of course some heartwrenching stunners oozing from the depths of Laura Stevenson, Lily & Madeleine, and SOAK. And who new Charly Bliss was so dang good at pop music? Great week of new music.
As always, leave in our comments here or on socials with your recs from last week’s releases, any that we missed, gripes, comments on how much you hate the picks, or just general life changing moments experienced through a new tune. Heck even if you think it’s all wrong, subscribe to the playlist to see if we do better next week. Update with all new songs, coming each Monday. With love, it’s The Weekly:
