Indie Rock
For a late-night house party, a bus ride, or any moment.
Phoenix make “1901” feel like the month’s smartest late-breaking hit.
Metric and “Gold Guns Girls” feel like the kind of track.
“Lies” is the cut you need right now : sharp and glossy.
Paloma Faith drops Stone Cold Sober like it already owns.
Kid Cudi's "Up Up & Away" feels exactly right : bright and off-center.
The office lights are fading and the inbox is finally behaving.
The beat clicks forward with a dry and hand-built pulse.
The production feels bright and a little jangly.
The drums hit hard and the guitar lines blur and shimmer.
My favorite Indie Rock songs from the past year.
Paid-only
For a walk to the corner store and a backyard drink.
Every hook arrives polished but playful.
While you dodge emails and crack the windows.
A late-afternoon walk, a cheap beer, or the kind of rainy commute.
The Tender Box and “Beautiful Sin” land like a fresh obsession: sleek.
The Juan MacLean and One Day feel like the smartest thing on the floor.
Your inbox is ugly and the sun is out.
While you’re cycling to the record shop.
The weather turns muggy and your inbox looks rude.
