As we finalize rolling out the best of top indie songs and playlists for 2020, it
becomes evident that there were more smokin’ tracks than the conventional wisdom
says.

Because we were very late in determining our monthly top 10 at the end of the year,
it gave us even more time to listen to these songs and by doing so, it helped to
reinforce our selections.

This playlist also serves as the September 2020 Top 10 Indie Songs playlist. There
are some amazing songs, and new artists and bands, to stream below. We hope you 
agree.

P.S. – See our short tracks’ notes below. Please share, comment, and like with others.

P.S.S. – Still three more [Top 10s](https://indierockcafe.com/op-ten-songs) to post.
They also serve as our top songs of 2020 overall.

1. indie trailblazers The Shins returned in 2020 with this soaring, feel-good, anthemic
single that will be a blast at live shows when they return
 2. catchy, booming, 
and enthralling grunge-pop from the relatively new and unknown (stateside) U.K. 
quartet 3. one of IRC’s all-time favorite indie folk-rock bands regroups for this
wonderful, heartfelt single 4. london based (and subpop freshmen) band offered this
fantastic, hard-hitting, Tarratino-esque single 5. upbeat indie surf/dream-pop from
the south coast of England 6. sharp, deadpan, riff-driven rock music and a chorus(“
relax/relax”) that is antithetical to the song’s nervous energy 7. sweet and heartbreaking
bedroom love pop diddy from new DIY artist to watch 8. sprawling energetic blazing
indie rock on the edge of mania with a relatable story 9. fun, energetic pop; fast
rhythm with vocal overlays and choruses 10. reminds us of The Fall (which is awesome!)
but at the same time, not. And that’s good. This impossibly passive-aggressive, 
clanging riff together with laser beam sound effects and an impossible-to-resist
main chorus
