A Quick Word from the Authors:
2014 seems to be shaping up to be quite a year in terms of music as this past week held new material from James Blake, Beck and Broken Bells. All the while there is a constant stream of novel music coming from the up-and-coming spectrum. Releases from Phantogram, St. Vincent and Tycho in the near future also leaves the scene in a postitive place as the trend-setting artists look to solidify their hold on navigating the future of indie as a genre. However, whose to say that the market of such a versatile genre will be dictated by the heavy hitters, for all we know there may be a producer in his basement right now crafting sounds that will define the year. In all reality only time will tell as to what 2014 will be remembered for from a indie standpoint.

With big names like Jack White, Vampire Weekend, The Strokes (Governor's Ball) Muse, and Arcade Fire (Coachella) already announced as headlining monstrous festivals there is benefit in looking further down the list of scheduled artists to find music that best appeals to your specific tastes. We recommend keeping a close eye on artists such as Gems, Mø, SOHN and Bondax where they will look to build off of their strong 2013 showing.

The Kindle

The top forty that no one knows, the songs that you pop on that party playlist, the tracks you belt while driving 80 MPH on a dessert highway, or the jams you blast alone in your bedroom, rocking out with your socks on, solo style. Wherever you are, you’re in for a treat by way of indie beats. Highlights from Misun and Lorde.
