Pete Christianson
For a late train ride and a gray office window.
The beat snaps with clean percussion and a low-slung bassline.
The production glows with dry handclaps and warm bass.
My favorite Indie Rock songs from the past year.
Saint Raymond sounds ready to break loose on “Young Blood,”.
Guitars chime with a wiry edge and the drums punch forward.
The Orwells hit hard with “Who Needs You”: blunt and sneering.
DREAMERS’ Waste My Night sounds like the kind of track.
Eliot Sumner keeps "Come Friday" feeling urgent and sly.
Guitars gleam with a humid edge and drums land clean and brisk.
On a gray commute, a late-night kitchen cleanup, or a first coffee.
Vocals arrive in a soft blur, then the arrangement opens up.
Guitars cut in with a glossy bite and the rhythm section keeps a tight.
The track rides on clipped drums, neon synth stabs, and a bassline.
