Musical 2020 - Part 1: Indie


Hello!  What a year for finding music 2020 was!
 

I don't know about you guys but I found some extra time this year to search out things I like. Another fact; I like music. So believe it or not I found a lot of music. The variety spans from the depths of Indietronica all the way to ElectroIndie and covers every Knick in between. Luckily I have a bunch of awesome friends to help stir this pot into further genres. 

With everything happening this year my two favorite genres luckily fell into two different listening categories:
1. Biking to the court to shoot hoops (Indie)
2. Working from home and staying focused. (Electro) 

I certainly love the spillover and genre mixing but we will break this down into two different posts and playlists. The first being the indie side.  

I love Indie musicians cause they seem the most true to core and they create for creations sake,  which as an architect-artist I can understand and appreciate. And they often put on the best live shows (sigh 2020) at the best small venues (sigh again) where I don't have to spend a huge ticket price. 

If you need a damn good time here are some awesome talents to listen to: Your Smith,   Jordan MacKampa,   Remi Wolf,   Nane.   If you love bass drops try some Goth Babe. Or sometimes you just gotta say Fuck that, gotta ask yourself is this really what I wanted?

So without further ado here is Jimbo's top indie finds of 2020:
