Best New Indie – Evan Harris, Shybaby, Remedies, Pillow Fite

Evan Harris caught our attention with his ethereal vibe in “Waiting,” one of his three most recent single releases sharing the same cover art. We love the relaxing, atmospheric elements of its instrumentation; arpeggiated, washing synth tones, a heavily modulated guitar section, and that classic, infectiously soothing indie feeling. The production style is unique here, featuring an equally modulated lead vocal tone and a myriad of whispering adlibs that we can’t get enough of. We hear similarities to top-charting indie artists like Djo or Mac Demarco; fans of the more psychedelic, groovy side of indie-pop will instantly connect with Evan Harris and his music.

Shybaby keeps our chill vibe rolling with her latest single, “Scratcher,” an eclectic indie-rock tune that instantly reminds us of that nostalgic 2000s pop era. We dig the relaxed, almost effortless vocal melodies in this one, complete with blissfully tasteful harmonies in its chorus sections. The guitar tones are on point, the composition is fresh, and the production is elite. We love what we hear – do not miss out on what Shybaby has to offer.

Remedies is back with their new single, “Give Us A Place,” a dreamy, introspective ballad peppered with moody emotions and dark instrumentation. The intoxicating vocal lines are accompanied by a lonely piano melody and spaced out synth textures in this masterful production, seamlessly transitioning into a powerful full band feel in its latter half. We hear similarities to the music from artists like boygenius or even Laufey here. We see big things in the future for this massively talented indie-rock group and we look forward to hearing more.

Laundromats,” the latest single from Pillow Fite, is out now, and we are hooked. The emotion exerted through this vocal performance alone blew us away right off the bat. We are huge fans of the harmonies here, as well as the composition and stylistic instrumental choices. Fans of Phoebe Bridgers will instantly connect with this sound. Don’t miss out on the next modern indie-pop sensation.
