KABELLION: BEST MAINSTREAM INDIE RELEASES – 7/31/15 – ESSENTIALS

July 31, 2015 — Leave a comment

This week, we have more than a few light 80’s synth laden electro-pop goodies, a bit of heavy UK influence and a saucy Miss Cleo reference from Albert Hammond Jr. If you don’t know who Miss Cleo is, click here for a picture of this gorgeous tarot televangelist – brace yourself.

Acts to check out for their novel sound are Lianne La Havas (folky, soul sexiness), Kid Astray (Norweigan synth indie-pop), and Joss Stone who is bringing a heavy Reggae vibe to her new album.

In the ebb and flow cycle of music being released, this week definitely has the bands in a flow state. The artists in this playlist have an incredible mix of tunes from genres crossing psychedelic infused funk, electro-pop, and even a bluesy electronic track (who knew that could be pulled off?) from the band Sounds in The Attic. The only way you can do the artists in this playlist justice is to listen to every track and enjoy.

The mainstream indie releases this week are fabulous at a minimum, but for most, this playlist will take you into the epic stratosphere. There are a few soulful releases from the likes of On an On, Ducktails and Owl & Mouse, while Foals and Nervo keep us on our toes with some upbeat tunes. If banjo riffs and countryside aromas are your thing, make sure to check out The Dustbowl Revival. For those already prepping for Friday Night Sexy Mode, check out Fingertips by Leo Kaylan and Leaves by Baile. For an updated sexy throwback, listen to the cover of Baby One More Time by Tove Styrke. This is a dangerously diverse & awesome playlist to the point that you may want to wait until Saturday or Sunday to listen to it – just trying to help and make sure you don’t peak too early in the weekend.
