The top indie rock songs of 2020...
Содержание
The best indie rock music of 2020 - this selection may seem to connoisseurs of classic rock, such as Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple, rather weak or "for the amateur"... However, we prefer to keep up with the times! Every year new artists of sound appear on the rock scene, among which there are some truly worthy performers! Today we're going to take a look at the top of the best rock masterpieces of 2020! Are you ready? Then let's get started!
Pop Evil - "Work"
After a loud instrumental roll that Imagine Dragons could probably use for their next album, Pop Evil frontman Lee Caccati laments in the chorus "ALL I DO, ALL I DO IS WORK!", evoking a cacophany of scrambling beats and hooks...
"Will I ever break free?
Will I ever see it for what it's worth?
Because you're telling me to be happy
When all I do, all I do, all I do is work ...
I've been running since dawn
I made my rounds, I knocked
It's been 90 days since I've seen a friend..."
NOTHING - "Say Less"
"Say Less" is the title of arguably one of the most inspiring rock singles of 2020....
"Velvari, velvara.
I like to stop and scream
Stumble inexorably
In a deafening Litany..."
Porridge Radio - "7 Seconds"
Quite a dark song... In the words of Dan Margolin, frontman of Porridge Radio, "7 Seconds" is "the end of something that was never right"... Maybe that's why the track sounds like the artist has finally kicked his addiction? Rumbling drums and dirty guitars battle with uplifting synth swirls, which adds to the song's particularly feel-good vibe...
"I've waited so long for you
And you know I could never lie to you.
You don't give me half the patience,
Which I taught you,
I taught you love,
And you never gave me enough..."
Claire Rosinkrantz, "Backyard Boy."
The song quickly went viral on TikTok thanks to an eight-second dance challenge! It also earned Claire Rosinkranz a major label contract. This track sounds just as great now as it did in the summer of 2020....
"Dance with me in the backyard, boy.
You look super nice in your corduroy.
Take me round the block.
We can get hung up on it.
And we'll turn up the volume on some good boyband tunes..."
Bob Mold - "American Crisis"
An election year in America proved to be the reason for Bob Mold's return with the track "American Crisis"....
"I never thought I'd see that rubbish again
Reaching adulthood in the 80s was bad enough
We have been marginalised and demonised
I've seen a lot of my generation die
Welcome back to the American crisis..."
Deftones - "Ohms"
As one of the most consistent bands in hard rock, the Deftones release a very good album almost every four years... On 2020's Ohms, the climax culminates with the final title track, which links the vocal greatness of Chino Moreno with a riff that manifests itself in a matter of seconds... The melodic and touching track "Ohms" explains why the new Deftones album should be considered one of the best of 2020!
All Time Low, Blackbear - "Monsters"
Quite a stirring song that definitely hooks the listener....
Dogleg - "Fox"
"You are in a fiction of the past that you have written down
Stuck at a time when my mind came out of my mouth
You're stuck in my head again, it's pressing against my skin.You think this case is unknown
When my father leaves and my mother returns to this house.
I saw your face in a magazine in a dream, and it cut me off.
And you're still looking around to let people know
But you've never noticed that you can't cut me out..."
Haim - "The Steps"
"The Steps" sounds like a warm summer breeze in Los Angeles... And Este Haim's light bass deftly navigates the conflicting emotions at the heart of the song. Danielle's voice is a mixture of determination and longing, while Alana's bright clean guitar riff backs up her performance...
Elvis Costello - "No Flag"
"I don't have a religion,
I don't have a philosophy,
I have a head full of ideas and words that don't seem to belong to me.
You can make jokes, but I don't understand that
I can't feel the future,
But time seems to drag on..."
Yves Tumor - "Gospel For A New Century"
Yves Tumor's psychedelic soul opus from the album Heaven to a Tortured Mind contains lingering jams, unexpected twists and turns and collisions with walls of sound... Yet the album itself is a shining example of pop genius! The opening track "Gospel For a New Century" combines funk, sexiness, blaring horns and crisp harmonies, reminiscent of Prince's virtuosity....
The 1975 - "Me & You Together"
Matthew Healy doesn't do sentimental, but if he did, it would be very much like 'Me & You Together' - a lovefest where the bandleader's long-standing love takes on new vigour...The song is particularly cool when it reaches its emotional peak in the second verse.....
