Danny Suede shares the sun-kissed new tune, "shadows on the pavement"

Bursting out from Spokane, United States, is Danny Suede, who has recently released his new track titled "shadows on the pavement". The new offering from the American singer-songwriter has already shot to the top of his most popular songs on Spotify, and I can easily tell why from the very first minute. ... a shimmering, uplifting slice of bedroom pop that feels made for sunny days. The opening sequence of the song is a delicate balance of acoustic guitar mixed with his serene vocals and a dash of electronic pulses just to get you all warmed up. For me, the fusion of bedroom pop and alternative pop sounds reminded me of an early Ed Sheeran as he was about to take over the British music scene. With that in mind, it sounds like Danny is also going in that direction. It is such an uplifting track and has brilliant shimmering moments that make this an unmistakably top pick for your Sunkissed playlists. He is an artist who is on the rise, so be sure to listen to him as soon as you...

Olivia Booth drops her alt-rock banger, "FROZEN"

Manchester-based rising artist Olivia Booth has today delivered a fierce alt-rock punch with her striking new single "Frozen." The track just came out hours ago, but thankfully we got a pre-release stream. I can personally say that I have been enjoying it for the last week since I first landed my ears upon it. It's got an incredible intro that highlights her emotion and vocal prowess from the get-go. As soon as the drums come in, the track steadily builds with extra layers of guitar and a haunting synth tone that just buzzes away in the background before it ultimately erupts at the 1.5-minute mark into an incredibly strong indie rock cut. ... a fierce, gritty alt-rock track bursting with Manchester indie energy and powerful vocal prowess. There's that undeniable Manchester indie grit in the song, and it has a tremendous amount of indie rock energy that is just swirling around the scene in the UK at the moment. There are a lot of acts that are rising out of the Manches...

blue pablo shares his new alt-pop gem, "i am a telepath"

Coming out of Albuquerque in the USA is blue pablo, and the new single is a sharp slice of alt-pop. The new single comes in a long line of solid single releases, and when this track opens up, it reminds me almost of The Neighbourhood in places, but with more of an alternative pop underpinning. ... a harp, atmospheric slice of alt-pop fusing deep synth lines with soaring guitar hooks. I really do like the deep and thick synth lines that act as the base of the track, and when they interweave with the tremendous guitar hooks, it really helps to bring together the whole track. It's a really fun track and even though it sounds dark in places, it's quite an upbeat slice of music. If you wanted a track to get into the artist with, then this could be a perfect example of what they are all about. I really loved the haunting melodies that are throughout the song, especially from the midway point onwards. Another highlight for me was towards the final minute of the track, where the vocals...

Maddison Breen drops the emotive new cut, "swings and roundabouts"

Coming out of the scene in the Gold Coast, Australia is singer-songwriter Maddison Breen, and today sees the release of the striking new single, "swings and roundabouts". I'd like to just start off with some initial notes from when I first heard the track. The intro alone reminded me of the very best piano-driven tracks that Coldplay have ever released and also gave me massive nostalgic moments for the late 2000s (when the likes of Keane were dominating the airwaves in the UK). ... a striking, nostalgia-infused alt-pop single blending cinematic piano lines with Britpop-inspired vocal emotional weight. Vocally, this sounds like a better version of Radiohead's Thom Yorke and is far more polished in terms of the quality of her voice and the notes that she can hit and the emotions, too. Having been born in the UK, she has certainly got a big influence from the Britpop scene, and you can certainly hear that here, with tones that even sound like The Beatles in places. If th...

The XX reveal video for "On Hold (Jamie XX Remix)"

At the end of 2016, The XX announced their return and news of a new album, "I See You" with the lead single "On Hold" and the track has quickly gone on to become one of The xx’s biggest songs to date. Today, the band’s very own Jamie XX reveals his "On Hold" remix, which is his first official remix in over four years. It comes accompanied by a 'remix video' from Alasdair McLellan, who made the original 'On Hold' video Want to have your music on It's All Indie? Click here for how to do so!

Blake Baker returns with his charming new single, "Calluna"

Back with his fourth single of the year is Hertfordshire-based singer-songwriter Blake Baker. The delightful new track is an absolutely soulful slice of indie rock and acoustic pop charm, with inspiration being drawn from the likes of Paolo Nutini and Sam Fender. ... a vibrant, soulful slice of acoustic indie pop packed with warm guitars and irresistible charm. The sequence at the beginning with the intro is really enticing. Here, vibrant guitars that are very sun-kissed play off his vocals tremendously. As soon as the chorus hits, a dash of piano comes in with acoustic percussion, sounding very crisp and groove-driven with sweet melodies all throughout. There's a reason that we keep coming back to Blake's music, and it's the fact that it's so welcoming from the first play. When you delve into this track for the first time, you too will feel this way. For me, when I heard this, I really enjoyed the final third. It's a bit more atmospheric, with a dash of horns that ...

teenweek reveals their jangly new song, "Open Tryouts"

Coming out of Berlin is a jangly indie outfit, teenweek, and their new single from them is a dreamlike, nostalgic piece, "Open Tryouts". To me, the song sounds like a very jangly and 80s-inspired track with moments that are like Future Islands, Royal Otis, and Real Estate in places. ... a mesmerising, 80s-inspired indie track shimmering with sun-bleached guitars, uplifting synth textures, and dreamy nostalgia. It's very mesmerising with breezy, sun-bleached guitar and synth tones, alongside a very dreamy main vocal that is quite uplifting in places. There's no doubt this is such an infectious track, and those underlying synth textures really help to bring the best out of the track. They are certainly one of the best bands to come out of Germany in the last year or so. Even though they have put out just a trio of singles, I feel like this three-piece indie rock band has plenty of life in them yet. Be sure to check out this song and their previous tracks as soon as you ...

Maze Cricket reveals the immersive new single, "Stranger."

Thessaloniki, Greece-based producer Maze Cricket has recently revealed an immersive and haunting new track titled "Stranger". Released at the perfect time of year, when the nights seem to get longer and creep into your day a lot earlier than ever, this dark pop track has plenty of layers for you to get stuck into. ... a haunting dark pop gem pairing angelic vocals with a scintillating, sub-heavy bassline. One thing I liked was the simplistic beat and electronic sounds that bounce off it, alongside somewhat gorgeous and angelic vocals that sound equally bright yet somewhat mysterious. Backed by 22 years of classical piano training, the artist has seemingly blended in lots of aesthetics that can really resonate with new listeners and old listeners alike. I don't know too much about the Greek music scene, but if this is an example, it could be a vastly underrated country for rising musical artists. This is certainly the kind of track you need to turn up to the max whilst on...

Adam Giles Levy unveils his rippling new track, "Dopamine"

Barcelona-based singer-songwriter Adam Giles Levy has shared his second release of the year, "Dopamine". The track kicks off with some epic vocal hooks and a sliding guitar tone that reminds me of KONGOS' "Come With Me Now", and as soon as the main vocals come in, the guitar slides away and becomes a blues-infused rock track that is big and pop-orientated in every direction. ... a raw, explosive blues-rock hit driven by rippling basslines, sliding guitars, and dynamic, rip-roaring energy. I really liked the bassline in this, with it rippling through my ears on the first play. On that first play, I found myself having my jaw dropped to the floor with how grand and expansive it sounded. It's a full-on track that has got lots of dynamic moments and explosive sections that will keep you guessing every which way. If you like the sound of KONGOS, Jack White, and even The White Stripes and Royal Blood, then this is going to be a rip-roaring track that you'll lo...

The Lunar Keys return with their epic new tune, "Sinner"

Guildford's own The Lunar Keys make an epic return with their new tune, "Sinner". The new track is just their second release of the year, but it is certainly going to go down as one of their best offerings to date. The band has hundreds of thousands of listens on Spotify, and this new track is certainly going to be adding plenty to that total. ... a razor-sharp, 3-minute indie rock anthem packed with soaring vocals, roaring chorus guitars, and melodic grit. The track was made alongside Grammy-winning producer Brendan Dekora (Foo Fighters, Muse), and it's a bit more laid-back compared to some of their other tunes, but this new single at least focuses a lot on the more melodic side of things. Also, it features some epic vocal moments alongside some roaring guitars in the chorus. It's, once again, another razor-sharp and gritty offering from the band, with this 3-minute epic showcasing everything great about them. If you like your rock music, then this is a great tra...
