Best New Indie – Adult Male Blondes, Myoon, Misty Coast, THE VIRGINIA PLANES

Now that’s how you start an album! boys who make their bed, the new record by Adult Male Blondes, kicks off with a dynamic and versatile indie rock heater. “good web, mama” is characterized by a collection of tasteful combinations: lo-fi and hi-fi, digital and analog, noisy and quiet, harmonious and dissonant… It’s most impressive that AMB has found a way to create a song that’s as cohesive and catchy as it is diverse and unpredictable. We recommend it for fans of indie rock artists who have a little folk flair like Alex G and Hudson Freeman.

This new indie pop single by Myoon is an anthem for the optimist in all of us. “Dreamer” fits comfortably in a category with French touch-inspired alternative artists like Phoenix and M83. The song is anchored by danceworthy rhythms and elevated by spirited vocal layers on top of expansive synth tones. All of these well-balanced components contribute to a sound that is—overall—smooth, bright, and palatable.

We got lost in the dreamy essence of Always Sun, the new single from Misty Coast. Full of elegant contrast and dramatic progressive appeal, Always Sun is an evolving musical journey that wades between a plethora of influences. They find the middle ground between Mazzy Star and the Beatles on this dynamic release. Bolstered by the singers lush intoxicating presence and lifted by the bands sonic punch, Misty Coast shines as a project to watch.

THE VIRGINIA PLANES embrace their melodic bloodline and offer an alternative to their noisy rock blend with a string of remixes that inflate the harmonious brilliance of their writing. The latest is a convincing re-work for their song Cause of Last Summer by Vierspur RMX. The new version stands strong on its own two feet. Its an energetic twist on dream pop that still lands aggressive despite its ethereal bliss . The original is a banger too. We love that dual autonomy.
