Indie music is not bound by any particular genre such as classic rock, pop, or rap. Some longtime indie listeners have been wowing the listeners with their amazing voices.
The roots of Indie music can be traced back to the 60s and that’s where music found it as one of the most authentic genres. Indie Music or Independent Music implies the independence of the art, artist, and cultural ethnicity. The music that is created under the Indie genre can give absolute freedom to the artist’s choice of expression. The connectivity with the audience also gets strengthened.
Eden
Eden is one of the quintessential indie-pop. His songs combine tenor and falsetto vocals on the complex electronic backdrop, the effect of which can claim the experience of listeners and introduce them into yellow-lit tunnels and long camera exposures. Occasionally, you'll get to hear gentle acoustic sounds and listen to Eden’s emotional depth. His second album - No Future - has turned out to be a winner too!
Alvvays
Alvvays is another genre-bending indie pop, and the sound reminds us of the British genre of the late ’80s for inspiration. Their melodies are full of sweetness, and the backdrops are brimming with a sound that makes you close your eyes and sway to the impact of the music. Their most recent album, Antisocialites, has been their most recent hit.
Death Cab for Cutie
Death Cab for Cutie has turned out to be one of the major cornerstones in defining indie rock, and they’re certainly one of the most recognized ones on the list. Lead singer, Ben Gibbard’s voice is glutted with an unmatched sincerity. Whether it’s their heartbreaking acoustic track or one of the gorgeous rock ballads, DCFC is certain to find a place in your playlist with their steady bass lines and lilting chords. Each album they come out with is different from the last, however, two of their most popular numbers have to be Kintsugi and Transatlanticism.
Anna Calvi
Anna Calvi is one of the most incredible singers and has been owning the stage with her awesome guitar skills for some time. Her haunting performances never fail to take the crowd to a whole new level. Her traditional red outfits are another distinctive hard-to-miss feature. In her last album, Hunted, what set her apart was her innovative and experimental yet incredible rock sounds, whispers, and high notes. Check out her song, Love Won’t Be Leaving, which sounds divine to the ear. Some of her other interesting songs include Wish, Strange Weather, Morning Light, and more.
Laurel
Laurel has a unique voice that sounds heavenly to the ears and you could hear her artistry and musicality. Each of her songs can hook you to the rhythms and are also well produced. One of her distinctive albums, Dogviolet, in her room, was entirely her whole creation process. Her light shines through and through with her musicality that fills your entire heart and spirit. Some of her other compositions include Adored, This Must Be the Place, Scream Drive Fast, Crave, and Life Worth Living.
Maggie Rogers
Maggie is as authentic as it gets when it comes to her songs and moves. Her gorgeous tone and capacities are nothing short of gorgeous and remarkable. She uses her voice which flows like water, such as Fallingwater and Light On. Her fans particularly cannot have enough of her live performances. She is a complete livewire on stage and comes across as giving it her all.
Anyone watching her perform will feel the music actually flowing in their veins and even her dance performances are simply out of the world. Her infectious communicative energy can make you feel like you are watching a dancing superstar moonwalking on the stage. Her moves can make you feel like swaying to the music, even if you have two left feet. She is in a league of her own and definitely a rising star to watch out for in the new female indie artists. Our favorite tracks of her are, Say it, Burning, and Give a Little.
