Best New Indie – Sidney, Caelen Perkins, Ava Valianti, Dumaresq

Australian indie pop buzz girl Sidney is back and her new single Anything is pure bliss. Equally epic and entrancing, this dense release hits hard courtesy of its bass balanced mix. Sidney soars courtesy of her hypnotic vocal ability. Her writing finds the middle ground between Billie Eilish and Lizzie McAlpine. We think she’s a revelation.

Caelen Perkins unravels a confusing exchange on his new single Pretty For A Boy. Wrapped in an infectious anthemic composition and full of clever quips, Pretty For A Boy should be Perkins breakthrough hits. In that manner it recalls artists like Del Water Gap who hit paydirt on an inspired energetic tirade.

Ava Valianti isn’t sweating the Sophmore Slump. The concept of her new single has metaphorical strength. Coming in at 16 years old and already enjoying a career in full swing, Ava has won awards and opened for Grammy artists. Her voice adapts between moments of urban attitude and twang to a dreamy indie pop swoon. Sophmore Slump is cool and catchy, honoring Ava’s unassuming lyrical prowess and catchy writing. She’s dropping mature ideas early. She’s a name to watch.

Dumaresq caught our attention with their new single The Fogbound Morning. We dig the simple arrangement dominated by a soft synth and minimalistic drum part. The singer scales the melodic spectrum finding all the right moments to lift the vibe with earnest brilliance. Stylistically its a sure thing for fans of The 1975 or The XX.
