Due to a number of reasons brought on by the virus, family health issues, our Top 10 Songs playlist series for 2020 fell behind.
That said, we will complete the full 2020 Top Ten Indie Songs playlist series that so many of you have followed and listened to loyally for more than a decade now. And there are dozens of amazing tracks.
The playlist below (which also is the August 2020 Top 10) features some of the best indie songs of 2020 that we’ve actually heard during the year. Please enjoy, like, and share.
Best 2020 Indie Songs Playlist
NOTES:
1. quiet acoustic dream pop dripping with vocal and instrumental melodies from indie superstars Local Natives and Sharon Van Etten
2. a drunken, lazy, childlike diddy that is DIY as you can get (and that’s awesome)
3. feel-good upbeat track with various layered atmospherics and melodic swings
4. fast-moving, energetic punk pop-inspired garage rocker with tints of cheap trick
5. moody indie-pop; a little long but worth it
6. sweet and inspiring acoustic and electric guitar instrumental duet
7. folky dark pop with soaring melodies and harmonies from indie veterans
8. fascinating and uplifting song despite sad lyrics
9. chorus-led with bumping bass and soaring guitars and percussion
10. beautiful and dreamy with sexy whispery vocals and a desert whistle
