Emerging indie pop artist vampireluvr instantly caught our attention with her self-titled EP release. specifically the fifth and final tune, “Broken.” This one is reminiscent of modern psychedelic pop icons, blending dominantly electronic instrumentals with an atmospheric vocal performance in this masterful production. We hear similarities to pop artists like Børns and indie psychedelic sensations like Tame Impala and Tennis.
We love the layering of synth patches and vocal harmonies here as well as the transitions between sections of the song. vampireluvr keeps us on our toes throughout this one, drastically altering the instrumentation to fit each new section and maintaining a strong, flowing structure simultaneously.

Navah Sea is back with their most recent single, “window,” a dreamy and eclectic indie pop tune that features incredible harmonies, catchy lyrics, and incredible production quality. We love the sampling techniques done here. A seemingly reversed vocal sample is swiftly introduced to us in the beginning of this song, being used as a percussive and melodic element throughout its duration. This, along with an abundance of vocal layering and airy instrumentation, adds to the groove in an intoxicating and inventive manner.
We think that fans of Clairo and Suki Waterhouse will instantly connect with this band’s quirky and easily lovable indie pop style. Be on the lookout for their next EP release on June 24th, we look forward to hearing more from them.

You need to hear the newest single from Dan Cousart and The Psyches, “You’re a Ghost.” This collaboration of emerging indie artists hits right at home for us. We love the authenticity behind their vocal performances in this one. It reminds us of the breathy and intimate vocal work from Thom Yorke of Radiohead. The instrumentation is instantly memorable as well; multiple layers of syncopated guitar lines, blaring synth lead tones, catchy vocal harmonies, and a well-recorded pocket groove on the kit.
We hear similarities to the music of Rex Orange County and Ax & the Hatchemen in this tune, and it is the perfect addition to your summer 2025 playlist. We highly recommend you check out both Dan and The Psyches if you are looking for emerging indie artists that are bound to hit the charts. Dan’s got some other new bangers out too, including his new single Dancing In The Kitchen
