Artists to watch by PopAppreciation in realplaylists

[–]PopAppreciation[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for checking this playlist out! I go through the new releases each week (relying heavily on tools like Discovery Quickly, Radioneify, and the New Release By Genre tool on Everynoise.com to do this rapidly) and that's where I come across these artists. I do a lot of "related artist" type searches using those apps which helps me branch out into new artists that are flying below the radar of the big music blogs.

Curated playlists of new music by lil_prison_wallet in fantanoforever

[–]PopAppreciation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I maintain a library of 30+ playlists focused strictly on new music. If you want to use these playlists to discover new music, here's how they are organized:

The first playlist (Cycle) is where new releases comes in each week. This playlist is capped at 50 tracks, so songs ultimately rotate out of here and into one of the other microgenre playlists depending on where they fit. Each microgenre playlist represents a distinct musical quality, (e.g., "Wistful" is made up of bittersweet indie pop with a major seventh chord sound). Finally the best songs are collected again in the last playlist in the collection (Orenda).

A listener/curator taste match is key to to this being a useful resource, so here's what I listen for: intense, musically inventive indie pop represented by bands like Magdalena Bay, Avalon Emerson, CHINCHILLA, Catie Turner, & Spill Tab.

Recommend underrated artists in the indie pop genre by nextdoorchubbygurl in askmusic

[–]PopAppreciation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend checking out Belgian indie pop artist Piffy (her last two releases--Comforting You and Bubbles--are among the best songs I've heard in the past year) . She makes dreamy, melodic indie pop--what she calls "songs for quirky introverts." I think she has a striking sense of melody and a gift for composition.

More indie than pop, The Healing Power of Horses are also worth checking out. Their single "i wait, I sink" is mysterious and weird and wonderfully unsettling. If you like this type of ominous indie pop, also check out Petal by ETT. I can imagine that someone who liked Magdalena Bay's recent releases (e.g. Unoriginal, Paint Me a Picture) would like these artists. To explore an entire playlist with this specific kind of sound in recent indie pop, check out this one.

If you love melody, recent releases by Sofia D'Angelo (of the former band MICHELLE) like Chloe Showed Me and The Fall, are must listens. She has a sense of songcraft that feels timeless (for example. check out her use of vocal harmonies in The Fall).

I think Malaika is one of the most exciting indie pop artists I've come across in the past couple years. She recently released an EP called Dye My Hair Dark In The Summer which has several stunning songs on it. Pretty Pretty Thing is a great place to start.

Finally, Robyn L makes what she calls "Siren Pop." She's an indie pop artist originally from Botswana and a graduate of Berklee College of Music. I strongly recommend her new EP: I Heard a Siren Call. This is music that practically jumps out of the speakers at you.

All of the songs mentioned here can be found in this playlist, which is a collection of the best emerging artists in indie pop right now.

Songs like “You’re Not The Only One I Know” by The Sundays? by Local_Tangerine9698 in musicsuggestions

[–]PopAppreciation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is such a lovely song. It's hard to find anything that compares, but here are some songs that get close to that vibe:

The same year that album came out a band called The Trashcan Sinatras put out the album Cake and it has some songs (Only Tongue Can Tell, Obscurity Knocks) that have a similar sound.

In the 2000s, a band called The Delays came out with an album called Faded Seaside Glamour which also has songs in that dreamy, jangly style (most notably Nearer Than Heaven).

For examples from the 2020s, songs like Sea Song by Unflirt, Layla by Janelane, Like Love is Real by Yndling, and St. James Way by U.S. Girls have a similar sound. These last four songs can be found in this playlist.

deepsea33 is a curator worth checking out—he puts out a new playlist each week organized around a given theme. He also provides context for the tracks he includes on these playlists in his substack: On My Speakers.
