[TommyWesters]

  - Help me discover and gather the best indie songs of 2014, until the year has ended!

Below you'll find my playlist: Top 100 Indie Songs 2014

If you find or know of a song that you feel should be on this list, please share it with me here.

- Maybe you have discovered a song that you feel noone else've done?

- Or maybe you feel that one of the songs I've chosen, that another song on that artists album is so much better?

- Or maybe there's a song that you think I may have overlooked? Share! 🙂

I'm putting a lot of time into my playlists and the list is designed as a listen from-start-to-finish (but shuffle works as well ofc).

Indie music; always evolving, searching beyond the mainstream wall, exploring the deep spectrum of creativity, emotion and intelligence. 100 cuts of indie rock, folk, electronica, lo-fi, dreampop, noise rock, and all kinds of genre-bending wonders. These are the top 100 indie songs of 2014, and the list will be perfected until the year has ended.

Enjoy!

Hello !

Thurston Moore - the best day ( 2014 )

The Best Day, Thurston Moore’s first solo record since 2010’s Demolished Thoughts, radiates with both his signature dynamism of dense thrashing electric guitars as well as blissful 12-string acoustic ballads. Recorded with Thurston's current band line-up of James Sedwards (guitars, UK), Deb Googe (of My Bloody Valentine, bass, UK) and Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth, drums, USA), there are also a some tracks that feature all instrumentation by Thurston.
