Check out ‘Queen’ by the Dublin bedroom-pop artist Jacqueline Kennedy. You’ll like if you’re in the mood for dark bedroom indie pop.

Kennedy tells Kings: “With Queen myself and Darce wanted to examine the new ideas of royalty. A Queen in 2021 is an aura that someone possesses and is no longer simply identified by class or bloodline. It’s the essence of your own self.”

She won the 2020 TilT Development deal with Sound Training Productions and 98fm’s Totally Irish. The Dublin producer and artist is ready to add her name to growing ranks of Female Irish pop acts forging their own way like Fia Moon, Blakkheart, Biig Piig and Gemma Dunleavy. Give it a stream on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.

Listen to Let Go, a great track from Karaboudjan. Think Radiohead, Tame Impala, and Animal Collective – psychedelic indie rock, could fit perfect only Spotify’s indie pop & chill Playlist.

In the vein of M83’s “Midnight City“, the track could find its way on commercials, TV shows, games and movies.

Raised in California, Karaboudjan is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Billy Kim, who has toured with Tycho since 2016.

He was featured in Rolling Stone after getting an opportunity to record an album with Grammy Award-Winning producer, Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Modest Mouse, Tom Waits). Check out the video here.

Indie rock duo ØZWALD releases Ivy League. You’ll love if you’re in the need of something 70’s or Beatle-ish. This is the project of lead singer and guitarist Jason Wade and Steve Stout of the band Lifehouse. The latest track comes off their new album young suburban minds.

Currently working on their 6th record, the band is looking to release 2 full length records a year.

“Our only rule for making music in this band is that their are no rules and we try to just go with what we’re feeling in the moment for any record and not get stuck into any genre” shares ØZ. Give the track a stream on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.

Up & coming alt pop artist Stef released the 8 track ‘A Glitch in Our Virtual Reality’. You’ll like if you’re a fan of lower register dark pop ala Billie Eilish.

“A Glitch In Our Virtual Reality represents the lifecycle in a relationship. Each song being a sentence long forming a paragraph. I wanted the EP to tell a story” shares Stef.

The 20 year originally from Alabama now resides in Nashville. She’s landed on Spotify’s Fresh Finds and Apple’s New Music Daily. Give the track “here’s what we we’re not gonna do” on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.

Look out for Wild Story and the new track High. The happy feel good song is perfect for sync placement and could slide right on Spotify’s Positive Vibes Playlist.

“High is about the feeling and imagination behind whatever gets you high; not just the obvious drugs/alcohol, but also about being lifted on living in the moment and taking it all as it comes. This past year has been a tough one for all of us and we hope “High” provides that escape that we’ve all been craving” shares the indie pop act.

The pop duo hails from Los Angeles and consists of Viv Parker and Katie Hargrove. Give it a stream on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.
