Sun June is my fav band of all time. Small following but deserving of so much more. I think Somewhere is my fav album of theirs but I’ve been enjoying their newer stuff as well. Lowkey want them to blow up??? But also guilty pleasure of mine is that they stay my hidden little secret???
Charlie Sztyk is one of my best friends and his music is so so so so so so so good. The Arc, Pt. 1 & 2 is such a huge album for me and I’ve listened through it at least a hundred times.
Seamstress is a band made by Gabi & Charlie Sztyk (she’s another best friend of mine, lol). Rumor has it she’s got new music coming out 👀 She’s like Lucy Dacus but at least 3X better. Weak Too is my fav song. I’ve cried to it often.
Squirrel Flower did a cover of ‘So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings’ that I played on repeat for a week straight. I ended up jumping into the rest of her discography and haven’t regretted it at all. Sad but not in a depressing way?
Enjoy!

some of these are probs repeats of what other people have said or what u alr listen to!
indigo de Souza (personal fave songs: how I get myself killed, darker than death, 17)
Adrianne lenker (both big thief and solo stuff, fave songs: zombie girl, steamboat)
Samia (fave songs: something in the movies, kill her freak out)
fka twigs (not really rock but I’m getting carried away. sadness of her discog varies. magdalene is an important album to who I am. fave sad songs are water me and home with you)
skullcrusher (whatever fits together is one of my favorite songs ever)
mitski (bury me at makeout creek is perfect to me)
the album songs to break up to by ta-ku is more electronica than indie but it saw me thru some bullshit in the 2010s.
snail mail (my fave song is speaking terms)
the national is music for sad dads but theres some strong overlap there i think (fave songs: i need my girl, blood buzz Ohio, dark side of the gym)
ok im sorry this is so long!! I love sad music!!

Tbh I’m coming out of a pretty depressing month, working a lot cuz im gonna be living alone for a bit—roomate who was the worst is finally leaving
This is what kept me sane while working doubles and watching the world pass:
Where I end and You Begin - Radiohead
(miserable, love the part about watching but not taking part, the effects of burnout let alone its haunting promise of nature eventually taking its land back)
21 - Cranberries
(I’m 21, learning that there will be lots I won’t get at least soon and that okay and I live in the context of all that which came before me)
Biscuit Town, Dumsurfer, It’s All Soup Now, Seaforth - King Krule
(He’s hot, miserable stuff, very hopeless but its the company that makes it easier)
The Flag is Raised - Bladee, Ecco2k
(Mf drain gang, very cerebral, spunky)
The Most Wanted Person - 100 gecs
(Huge gecs fan they are always on rotation for me, currently over here checking all the windows and blinds)
Persephone - Cocteau Twins
(been listening to them a lot recently, love the witchy vengeful sound of it)
One of These Days - Bedouine
(love her, its the little bit of hope we have to cling to right?)

Leith Ross is a great one- such sweet songs, like you (on my arm), and we’ll never have sex! so good!! a classic- like real people do, by hozier! amoeba is one of my fav clairo songs, her production is light and jazzy and definitely up that happy but gentle alley. For a speed round:
-la lune by billie martin
-more like you by orla gartland
-means something by lizzy mcalpine
-i know you by faye webster
-the bug collector by hathey hendrix
-teeth marks by S.G goodman
-you, me, lonely by FIZZ
-persimmon by the army, the navy
-serotonin by angie mcmahon
-real estate by adam melchor
-some kind of control by ruby gill
and i’m sure there’s more!i tried to stick with songs that felt happier/felt like a small animal would be happy to listen to (maybe not lyrically,, just vibes wise) let me know if you want more!! hope this helps a little
p.s. i sooo recommend listening to more of all of these artists if you get the chance too- they’re some of my absolute favs ! :)

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
