Best indie songs of 2014

[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!

The Paperhead - Africa Avenue ( 2014 )

Africa Avenue is the new album, named after the street the band hung-out on as children, and was written and recorded by the group themselves in early 2014 in bassist Stringer-Hye’s garage. Still taking inspiration from the psychedelic era, Africa Avenue finds the band expanding their musical palette, incorporating elements of avant-pop, “cosmic country”, acid folk, and krautrock into the mix, making this album their most focused & original set of tunes to date.

Caught Purple the other night on their UK tour with Broncho and was blown away! The most exciting thing I've heard this year, along with Tweens. Album (409) is terrific garage punk; stand-out tracks for me are Target and DMT.

Hello !

Tired tape Machine  - Your Ghost ( Not Here - 2014 )

Magic album, really hard to definite in its unicity: a dark orchestral-chamber-folk, dense of psychedelic, progressive and neofolk elements, and post-rock echoes; totally submerged by a absolutely pure, unfathomable and enchanting sadness.        ( Melancholy Burning - Bandcamp )
