New Music Recommendations

It’s a good year for indie music. Australian indie pop duo, Royel Otis, finally released their 3rd full length record hickey. I say “finally” as if they haven’t been releasing new music every year since 2021, but what can I say, I want more. So do you. Listen to it. FFO: Wet Leg, Mt. Joy, Fontaines D.C., flipturn, Wallows.
