Welcome! 

What is this thread?

A place to share new discoveries that fits under the broad concept INDIE.

Keep the posts focused on SONGS or PLAYLISTS:

  • Playlists shared here should have the threads theme; the best new indie of 2018.
  • Songs shared here should have been released no more than one month earlier.

This threads definition of INDIE: An umbrella concept of a genres like indie rock, indie folk, indie electronica, indie pop, lo-fi, dreampop, noise rock, shoegaze, and all kinds of genre-bending wonders that is always evolving, searching beyond the mainstream wall, exploring the deep spectrum of creativity, emotion and intelligence (so yeah, the definition is wide and not much of a definition at all).

 

Together we'll help each other discover great new music and build an archive of the best indie songs of the year!

 

Cheers! /Tommy Westers (of Gothenburg Sessions)

I post the music of artists with no more than 20k followers to help them out and bring some guaranteed new tunes to indie-music lovers ears. Everything indie including folk, pop and rock. I regularly add new songs to the playlist. Also for anyone who feels like following the playlist, if you screenshot it after following and send it to my facebook page you'll be in the running to win a year of Spotify premium if that sounds like your sort of thing :). https://www.facebook.com/discoverindie4ears/

Great Playlist, well, here's our first single for this year, we're an indietronica act taking influences from house and italo disco music. Hope you like it.
