THIS WEEK'S INDIE ROCK BOPS

Josey Reinhardt – Over My Head

Josey Reinhardt's 'Over My Head' is a stunning indie rock single, blending Nashville roots with atmospheric production that lands with swaggering style

Josey Reinhardt

Josey Reinhardt's new single opens with that familiar feeling of treading water. 'Over My Head' pairs introspective lyrics about being overwhelmed with an arrangement that knows exactly when to push and when to pull back. The pedal steel weaves through the mix, giving the track a rootsy warmth, while the melodic indie rock framework keeps everything moving forward. I love the almost Linkous-style vocals in the verse, and the atmospheric production lets every element land where it should. Brilliant indie rock with Americana textures, honest and atmospheric in equal measure.

Josey Reinhardt is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter, musician and producer building a sound that sits somewhere between alternative rock and Americana. The track's been picking up genuine international momentum, with indie radio support from Amazing Radio, Regency Radio, Planet Indie, Auxois FM and Red Line Radio. He's also a 2026 Josie Music Awards nominee for Musician of the Year (Bass) and Rock Song of the Year. A Nashville artist finding an audience far beyond home, and we're really glad to have him on the blog.

My Glass World – This Perfect Summer

My Glass World's 'This Perfect Summer' is a striking indie rock warning flare, wrapping environmental dread in bright, britpop-inflected beauty

My Glass World

The title lies, and that's entirely the point. 'This Perfect Summer' opens with mercury rising and fire outside, then catalogues collapse: dead birds falling, crops failing, roads shimmering into nowhere, smoke darkening the daylight. Jamie Telford delivers these images with wistful detachment, his vocal sitting somewhere between resignation and quiet alarm. The treble recorder threads through like something half-remembered from a childhood holiday, while Sean Read's saxes add unexpected warmth beneath the unease. Ali Friend's stand-up bass grounds the whole thing, acoustic and present, as the arrangement builds density without ever losing its groove. And that hook? It's a banger. Brilliant indie rock, unsettling and beautifully crafted.

My Glass World are a British duo built around Jamie Telford and Sean Read, back with us again after 'River Of Light' a few months back. This one lands as track seven on forthcoming album 'Extraordinary Renditions', out 18 September via Luxury Noise Records. It's their eighth record, and the fifth full-length collaboration between the pair, recorded across sessions split between Scotland and Hackney's Famous Times. We love this; a band doing their own thing for years who keep getting sharper.
