If you like TV Girl
For anyone whose most played is Lovers Rock: sample-heavy, sun-bleached indie pop that sounds sweet and says something sad.
7 picks, none of them the obvious ones. Tell us what you think of each.
Start with: Money
Jangly, bright and quietly desperate. Surf-pop guitars over lyrics about being broke and in love, which is basically TV Girl's whole deal.
Start with: A Different Age
Lo-fi, wounded and huge. Starts as a bedroom recording and turns into a scream you feel in your chest.
Start with: Treehouse
Strange, warm and homemade. Alex G records in his bedroom and writes melodies that feel like old memories.
Start with: Locket
Woozy, jazzy and hypnotic. A band that sounds like a dream you half remember the next morning.
Start with: My Jinji
A Taiwanese band with smooth 80s keys and a groove that never hurries. The most laid-back song on this list, and maybe the best.
Start with: So Many Details
Hazy synths and a slow, heavy groove. The chillwave original that a lot of today's bedroom pop grew out of.
Start with: Alrighty Aphrodite
Chewy guitar hooks and lyrics about a doomed crush. Bright on the outside, a little sad on the inside, exactly like TV Girl.
