I’ll be honest, I’m not a big fan of indie folk, but I got quickly hooked on the track Some Of Your Songs by David Ost. He’s a singer-songwriter that bounced back and forth between Germany and Scotland, now residing in Hamburg. His goal was to create an original soundtrack for an off-pop riot you won’t be able to get out of your head any time soon. I must say mission accomplished, and pretty darn good for a second single.

Up and coming indie artist Wrenn releases the track Internet Gaming. The 20 year old imagined herself being stuck inside when she wrote the song.

Not surprising, she cites Nirvana, Mazzy Star, and Dido as influences. Give it a stream on our Indie Invaders Playlist.
