Keep an eye on Kyle Jaymes and his track “Haunting.” As the title suggests, this song delivers a haunting, dark folk indie pop vibe. Fans of clapping, banjos, and “hey ho’s” will love it. Think along the lines of Noah Kahan, The Lumineers, and Mumford & Sons.

This New England-based artist has been writing songs for as long as he can remember. He has played in bands, written and recorded many home demos, and believes his more recent work is his best yet. While largely influenced by indie and emo, he also enjoys dabbling in soulful R&B songs from time to time.

Look out for Dissolved Girl and their track “I’m a Beast.” Reminiscent of ’90s electro-grunge acts like Garbage but with a modern twist, the song features a cool riff and Shirley Manson-type vocals. The track would fit well on Spotify’s Alt Rocked and Indie All-Stars playlists.

The four-piece band from London is united by a love of ’90s trip-hop, alt-rock, complex soundscapes, and melodic hooks. Their debut album, crafted over the past four years, was produced by Dani Castelar (known for two No. 1 albums with Paolo Nutini) and mastered by Matt Colton (Arctic Monkeys, Michael Kiwanuka, Royal Blood).

Keep an ear out for Vancouver artist Molly Annelle and her song “Trophy Wife.” This track blends R&B, electro, and indie pop, striking a balance that’s neither too loud nor too soft. It’s the perfect song for lounging. “Trophy Wife” would easily fit into Spotify playlists like Chill Tracks, Chill Vibes, Dreamy Vibes, and Relax & Unwind.

Produced by Parker Bossley, known for his work with Fur Trade and Hot Hot Heat, “Trophy Wife” showcases Annelle’s sound. Currently, she’s working on an LP to be released soon via 604 Records. In the meantime, you can enjoy more of her music on Spotify, where she has already amassed over a million streams.

You should definitely check out Nick Howe and his song “Crash.” It’s a lovely track that throws you off guard a bit. In the first few seconds, you might think it’s just a run-of-the-mill ballad, but then the tune shifts course and delivers an anthemic, memorable chorus. Instead of a crash landing, it takes off.

Hailing from a long line of family entertainers dating back 200 years, including May Warden from “Dinner For One,” Nick Howe is a consummate musician who never takes his foot off the gas. His relentless drive has turned minor opportunities into significant career milestones, including syncs with Cadbury’s and Angry Birds. He’s also acted in the ITV series “Lewis” and performed at Glastonbury and SXSW.

With his inherent knack for creating killer low-key hooks, Nick Howe writes to process his emotions and experiences, treating his music as therapy.

His debut EP, “Struggle Is Real,” reached No. 1 in the singer-songwriter presale iTunes charts back in 2016 and sold over 2000 copies.

Touring over 15 countries, including the US, and extensively throughout Scandinavia and Germany, Nick performs an average of 200 shows per year. He has sold out gigs at home in venues such as Cargo, Kensington Roof Gardens, and even the Natural History Museum, which he lists as a career highlight!

Nick has also co-written music with Ivor Novello-winning songwriter Iain Archer (James Bay, Jake Bugg, Snow Patrol), Matty Benbrook (Paolo Nutini, Jack Savoretti, Dido, Faithless), among others.

Watch out for Yodashe and her track “CHRYSALID“. Blending experimental and new age genres, the track takes listeners on a sonic journey. Beneath the soundscapes lies a powerful message of overcoming adversity, embracing authenticity, and finding inner strength.

Yodashe is a London-based indie artist and producer with a background in architecture. She debuted her solo electronic project in NYC as an alumna of the Redbull Music Academy. Since then, she has performed at various electronic music festivals, including Sonar, Todays Art, and Reworks, and at smaller club-nights, opening for acts such as John Talabot.

Her debut single, “MRKTPLC,” was featured in The Fader’s essential “Songs You Need In Your Life: January 2024.” Her second single, “FAM,” was highlighted by BBC’s Fresh On The Net in their “Fresh Faves.” Her latest single, “EASTER,” premiered in KALTBLUT magazine and was featured on The Line Of Best Fit and Fresh On The Net’s “Eclectic Picks.”
