More from Faded Cassettes
One of my favorite discoveries of last year was Faded Cassettes, a bedroom project that bridges my love of the Spanish language with lo-fi post-punk. So, as we settle into the new year, why not hear one of the final singles from the forthcoming Doesn’t Know Me Yet EP. As per usual, the song is quick and snappy, using sampled drums to push the pace while the vocals are hiding in the shadows of the tune. Reminds me of a mixture between Blank Dogs and Black Marble, only with a little bit of a Latin twist. We’ll be covering more from the project, I’m sure, as we move along into 2026.
There was a lot of really great music, and in all likelihood, we’re nearing the end of the yearly cycle, where I expect to kind of see a flutter of singles then the lists will pop up! On our end, we covered a lot of the ATX this week, with new stuff from Jet Cemetery, Don’t Get Lemon, Gus Baldwin and Living Set. There were some new tunes that really rocked me, like Deathcat‘s pop punk masterpiece, not to mention the new Winged Wheel noise pop piece. Even managed to find some room for old favorites like Living Hour, Pia Fraus and Bubblegum Lemonade among the masses! Crank this playlist up, as it starts with a banger from Possible Humans.
I’ve only discovered 
What a week of fun tunes! I was really stoked with some of the stuff we were able to premiere on our end, such as new jams from Lola Tried and Giant Day, not to mention that incredible Morwan track all the way from Ukraine. If you haven’t checked any of those out, well, wait no more and click below. You’ll also find the best of indiepop with brand new songs from Telephone Numbers and the Cords. I was happy to hear some new music from Mary Onettes, as they’ve long been one of my go to listens. Plus, there’s never a bad day for Stella Donnelly, dropping us a preview of her new album. Don’t be afraid to let us know what you loved!
