Welcome to June’s Misfits Round Up! We kick things off with Kelsey Olivia’s soft, soothing ‘I’ll Come Over’, a warm bedroom pop gem featuring early Taylor Swift vibes and a softly thumping, mellow yet incredibly catchy soundscape. Next, Dutch art-rock mainstays Ciao Lucifer show they still get the rising artist hustle on ‘Offline’, delivering an unhurried, fun track elevated by warm vocal harmonies across the chorus.
Having recently caught The Youth Play supporting Ist Ist at The Grove in Newcastle, their mesmerising live energy carries right into ‘Sunday’, which is an eclectic, addictive indie-rock hit driven by sharp, powerful vocals. We then pivot to Alexander Wolfe’s sophisticated ‘Coda (Same Road Different View)’, a slow, reflective bedroom-pop cut with distinctively cool, gorgeous vocals.
Defying single-genre boxes, Joe Hearty brings pure joy with ‘Just Keep Spinning’, a funky, theme-park-esque indie pop track that feels like finding your home crowd. Finally, Foarn rounds out the mix with ‘Hideaway’, a raw, powerful punk rock anthem channeling soaring indie energy as it tackles the relentless frustration of chasing an emotionally unavailable, hot-and-cold crush.
