Best New Indie 2018

[gbgsessions]

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)
