It’s no secret that we’re suckers for a good indie track here at AAA and man has Lou Raymond provided us with a treat in his latest offering, Take Me Out. Think The Strokes meets MGMT. Emotional vocals with a rich delivery of melodies and catchy hooks and you’ve got an instant classic. Love this track from start to finish.

Low Girl – Pockets

It’s not often a track captures the instant you press the play button, but that’s exactly what Low Girl have done with their latest track, Pockets.

Future Problems – Honey

Another track that just pops out at you from the very instant you hear
it. Filled with some toe-tapping vibes, Future Problems new single, Honey is a mysterious track that tells the take of sobriety and substance abuse. It carries a style with a 90’s alt feel but with a modern-day vibe. A little darker, but so much to love with this track.

Smushie and Ryan Gebhardt – Mr. Number One

After a fuzzy track that just fills you with abundant joy? Well Smushie and Ryan Gebhardt’s latest offering Mr. Number One is just the track for you. This one is seriously like a big ball of sunshine. Carrying elements of a classic indie rock tune, there is nothing you can’t love about this tune. I’ve had it on repeat since it first landed on my desk.

Fleur De Peau – Stroboscope

There is something incredibly catchy about wonderous pop tunes delivered in French. I was always a big fan of Yelle and the likes purely because of the vocal delivery. Fleur De Peau’s latest tune, Stroboscope fits that narrative perfectly. Filled with dreamy moments and a cloud-like musical offering, this one is for those sunny afternoons when you just need a daydream moment.

RobinAugust – Boy Obsessed

This is one of those tracks that slaps you in the face with a wall of noise. Nashville rocker, RobinAugust’s latest track oozes with a classic NYC fuck you punk vibe. From its catchy guitar work to its powerful sing-along lyrics, there isn’t much this track doesn’t have. One for the rock enthusiasts, you’ll be hooked from the instant you hear this one.

Mammabear – State Of Grace

Once again, if you need a good rock rinsing, then Mammabear’s latest track, State Of Grace, will be right up your alley. Classic garage vibes meet fuzzy hooks with a modern drive, a driving tune that keeps you engaged throughout it’s four-minute lifespan.

Jewel Owusu – b-day

We’re pretty big fans of Jewel Owusu here at AAA. With her delectable delivery of indie alt-pop, she has a real knack for putting together tracks that slap. Her latest offering, b-day does exactly that. Filled with dynamic production and super catchy vocal hooks this track is an ideal addition to your uplifting playlists for the weekend.

Maida Rose – Pheonix
