Best New Indie – néomí, Blanco Tranco, Hök, Babeheaven

Right beneath the surface lurks néomí, an under appreciated indie starlet due for a breakout. Everything she touches turns to melodic gold. Her lush emotive vocal delivery gets honored by pitch perfect assessments on love and live. Her recent Sit Back Baby is a lucid affirmation of life’s unfair realities. It’s another single within a string of recent breathtaking songs likely to culminate into the singers next album. The Nordic underground princess enjoys an impressive amount of listeners and devoted fans, but we think her songs are as worthy as anything from Grace Abrams or Clairo. It’s just a matter of time. Say you knew her first.

We can only hope to be Bold For A Moment. Australian indies Blanco Tranco bottle that pursuit into an intriguing new composition. Evidence of 80s alternative and dream pop infiltrate this indie pop vibe impressively. The guitar work is transcendent while the singers instinctual voice lands convincing. Stylistically its a sure thing for fans of Japanese Breakfast and Wet Leg.

Jag har gjort det igen is the new single from Hök and its brilliant. The dreamy melodic vibe breaks the language barrier. It adds an exotic element where you imagine the narrative. It offers you the chance to interpret the moment based on feeling and vibe. Its what we love about non English music, especially when its melodically infectious. Fans of psychedelic dream pop like Beach House or trippy guitar bands like The War On Drugs will love this vibe. Dig in.

If you google Babeheaven you might want to add “band” or “musician” into the description. Then you’ll likely collide with one of our favorite underground indies. Their recent Picture This is a chill indie pop revelation that feels so easy and natural. It combines elements of bossa nova and trip hop elegantly. The summery vocal lands inspiring while retaining a subtle dark essence. In that manner it recalls acts like Biig Piig or Charlotte Day Wilson. We love it.
