Drum roll please, as we bring three of the best indie rock bops this week. From reflective indie rock to darker genre-blurring edges, these bops are keeping us going as we wait for Spring to actually happen. Let’s get stuck in ☀️
My Glass World – River Of Light
My Glass World return with River Of Light, a stunner of an expansive indie rock track driven by melody, momentum and clear-eyed songwriting
River Of Light opens with a wonderful sense of movement, lovely production and melodic guitars. There’s a great rhythmic drive here and a bright, forward-leaning arrangement. It really is a great indie song, with just a touch of Talk Talk, which is always a great thing in my book.
My Glass World are a British indie rock pop outfit whose work often blends reflective lyrics with layered instrumentation. Written during the Covid period and revisited for release, the song carries both introspection and renewed clarity while keeping the band’s melodic instincts firmly intact. Stunning stuff.
Watch Me Die Inside – Something Is Wrong
Watch Me Die Inside push metal into new territory as Something Is Wrong fuses brilliant intensity, melody and stark atmosphere
Something Is Wrong unfolds with dark textures and sharp dynamic shifts, blending heavy guitar weight with electronic accents and melodic passages. The result is both bold and cinematic, in all the best ways. It moves between tension and release, and is definitely worth checking out.
Watch Me Die Inside is the long-running project of Cyprus based artist Aleph. Drawing from deathcore, melodic metal and colder black metal tones while introducing electro pop elements, the project shapes a distinctive hybrid that sits outside traditional genre boundaries. Stunning stuff.
The Burton D’Agostini Procedure – Do You Feel Alright
The Burton D’Agostini Procedure deliver ‘Do You Feel Alright’, a hazed-out melodic indie stunner that we can’t get enough of
Our new favourite indie-psych outfit The Burton D’Agostini Procedure arrive with a lovely, slow burn banger. Do You Feel Alright centres on strong melodic hooks and a warm, layered arrangement, with guitars and steady rhythms giving the track a bright, immersive feel. The fantastic production keeps the focus on clarity and momentum.
The Burton D’Agostini Procedure are a United States duo formed by Jeff Burton and John D’Agostini, whose long involvement in the music world feeds into their songwriting. With a focus on melody and polished production, the project blends classic songcraft with a contemporary indie rock edge. Essential stuff.
