Best New Indie – Foxtails Brigade, Slow Cruise, Seegz, M Rosenbaum

Foxtails Brigade caught our attention with the catchy appeal of their new single Gimme A Sign. From the opening moments, Gimme A Sign grabs you and never puts you down. It takes cues from modern indie pop while paying subtle homage to classic 80s alternative new wave influences. Stylistically we hear evidence of Spoon and The Shins mixed with The Cure.

The Bay Area band has been enjoying a cult following courtesy of their curious blend. Their eclectic nature is rooted in lead singer Laura Weinbach’s unique upbringing. The daughter of a horror filmmaker and the sister of a cult comedian, Weinbach is bred for creativity. Hear for yourself.

Slow Cruise is riding easy on their new single Kerstin. The moniker emulates the sound on this inspired release. The cover photo adds to the affect. Their sound feels tailor made for a coastal escape. It adds some psych pop reverence a la Tame Impala, while mixing in some new wave stylistic flavor. It’s an easy listen and it’s entirely addictive.

Elegantly produced and guaranteed to get you swaying, Kerstin is steeped in attractive contrast. Get into it.

We adore the passion offered on Maybe That’s A Problem, the new single from Seegz. This unique blend finds the middle ground between Clairo and Sam Fender.

Like Fender, the chorus leans into its fury. Like Clairo, the tones are gorgeously textured. The entire song is illuminated, bursting through the speakers with vicious clarity. We love it.

We lose ourselves in the soulful essence of Intense, the new single from M Rosenbaum. We’re addicted to this chill indie pop soul blend. It recalls artists like Charlotte Day Wilson and Rhye. Like Both, Rosenbaum has a voice that gets under your skin. It’s emotive and graced with a luscious hush that lands entrancing. The production notes are interesting too, adding some inspiration familiar to Christine and the Queens. Sounds amazing? Dig in.
