And so, in no particular order:
Lola Young – Conceited

Lener – keep running away
Labasheeda – Curiosity
Slow Pulp – mud
Slow Pulp are an indie shoegaze band out of Wisconsin who now live in Chicago. This wonderful single is here to alert us to the fact that TODAY they released their brand new album ‘Yard’. Find it here!
Montana Chanel – Blue eyes under blue lights

Naya Ali – More Life, Less Names (Remix)
Naya Ali is the Canadian female rapper who’s shooting throught the (Canadian hiphop) stratosphere at the moment and is inches from becoming the mainstream big name she should always have been. This is a remix of her spring-released track of the same name, in collaboration with a couple of other hip hop artists from her home town Montreal.
The National w/ Phoebe Bridgers – Laugh Track
This is actually from the previous week but it’s wonderful and hey, we didn’t have this feature in place last week so I forgive myself 🙂
We hope you liked our picks from the best new indie songs – please let us know what we missed and what we should post next week!
