218 indie playlists

I’ve spent years building playlists around indie because it’s the genre I can’t stop coming back to. One artist who really shows the power of indie music is Noah Kahan. I’ve made multiple playlists around his work because his music captures exactly what I love about this type of music. I’ve gone deep into specific bands like The 1975 (yes, three whole playlists just for them), and even even an Indie Halloween soundtrack that puts a unique twist on a classic seasonal mix. Why settle for a regular Halloween playlist when you can experience it through the lens of indie? Indie is also how I’ve discovered some of my favorite new voices. Bands like Lovejoy, flipturn, and Spacey Jane bring fresh energy to the scene. Whether it’s got sick guitar riffs, moody synths, or stripped-back storytelling lyrics, Indie always finds a way to capture a feeling that mainstream music sometimes can’t. My latest obsession is with UK artists, and I know a lot of them. That’s what keeps me coming back  and why curating indie playlists has become such a big part of how I connect with music. This type of music has always been a great way to discover new voices and helped me find songs that I can connect with. Whether it’s celebrating bands like The 1975, curating seasonal vibes, or just saying we really like indie music and proving it through the songs, If you’re looking to explore indie music you’ll find plenty here.
