✨ indie pop dream jangle fun ✨, a playlist by Chris Smith on Spotify

my favorite indie pop of the last few years. mostly guitar pop but a little of everything thrown in. keeping it updated when i can!

i really haven’t posted on tumblr for a few years, and am trying to get back into it. It’s a lot harder now that you can’t just upload mp3s. anyway i mostly use spotify now.. my pirating days are behind me i suppose. well here is a playlist that i update every few days with new stuff that i like. i know there are a million “jangle/lofi/bedroom pop” playlists out there. but if you like my blog then you might like these tunes. toss me a follow if u want.

Young Scum - Wasting Time

Brand new jangle pop glory from Virginia’s Young Scum. Perfect classic pop sound, just in time for summer. For fans of Teenage Fanclub or The Lucksmiths!

Plums - Parking Lots the Mac Demarco influenced chorus heavy jangle pop continues to sweep the indie rock underground. while there are many knock-off bands that manage to simply imitate Mac’s stylings, there are also a lot of stand outs as well. Plums is one of those bands, combining incredibly catchy guitar hooks with hushed vocals and backing synths to create a calm, cool, and collected pop song. Parking Lots is definitely my favorite off of their latest effort Jen, but the rest is worth checking out for sure.

Cende - End saw these dudes open for Elvis Depressedly the other night and damn do they RIP. Pronounced send for those who didn’t know, like me before the show, they blaze through 90 second power pop songs reminiscent of early surfer blood (if they actually shredded) or if you wanna throw in weezer you could. either way, their EP is up on bandcamp and it’s worth a listen or a DL if you so dare.

The Radio Dept. - This Repeated Sodomy if this is any indication of the new album’s sound, count me in. as if they could even make anything bad. but this single makes me really excited for whatever comes next. i missed this band.

Asobi Seksu - Goodbye a band that I always knew about but kind of overlooked back in the day, but now I’m kind of sad that I didn’t. noisy pop that’s so catchy, and a little gazey, perfect perfect pop!

The Cleaners From Venus - Night Starvation I’m on a real big jangle pop kick right now, a friend of mine sent this track my way, and I can’t get enough. NIGHT STARVATIONNN

The Wake - Sail Through posting another Wake song. it came on shuffle then the metal The Wake came on after and it sucked. (what’s with indie pop bands having metal bands that share the same name i.e. Heavenly lol) this song rulessss though.

Close Lobsters - Gulp Close Lobsters are my favorite jangle pop band right now, and maybe ever. they just combine perfect guitar tones with the catchiest hooks and gorgeous harmonies/melodies. just listen to this and try to deny it.

The Feelies - Raised Eyebrows sometimes I feel like The Feelies made modern indie music. Honestly just listen and you can see how deep their influence runs through so many different bands. at times jangle pop, at times post-punk, at times proto indie rock (i guess?) they were just really good at everything they did.

Gold-Bears - Tally sometimes you forget just how good a song can be. sometimes a forgotten album finds you again in your time of need. both of Gold-Bears’ albums came to me at times when i needed them most.
