Every day I tell myself how lucky I am to have IMC. It's my refuge, I would even say my bunker, where everything seems safe and without danger. You meet some great people there. Then these people meet in turn. Then create great things. Today, we're really happy to see two wonderful members of the IMC Family working hand in hand.
"Overgrown" is the result of the meeting of Dom Malin and Luna Keller. Quite funny, this is the second song out today that is called "Overgrown"! Yes, also check out this other post about Whylemin's release!
The first feature on IMC for Luna Keller was on November 11, 2018. The first feature on IMC for Dom Malin on April 15, 2021. Since then, both have joined the......
We're not going to lie to you, Rhineland is a band that has been on our radar for a few years. We loved their flamboyant indie-pop from the album "Heard It in a Dream, Love", released last year.
Back after a year's absence, the band coming from Virginia, which communicates very little on social media, risks surprising its fans. But in a good way! They come back with a single with a much more melancholic atmosphere than its predecessors. And above all, with a very different mood from what you may have heard previously, and it falls more into indie-folk than indie-pop.
"Halifax" is steeped in nostalgia. As the band says, the song "uses visceral imagery to describe moving back home &......
Born in Florida and raised in the small town of Blacksburg, SC, Thomas blends the organic textures of his roots with ethereal textures and nuances.
He is just as at home as a minimalist as he is in soaring choruses and driven guitars.
LaVine is a songwriter who loves using captivating metaphors to convey honest emotional ideas.
He has been playing music for his whole life and started to write songs when he was about 16 years old.
He took influences from a wide variety of bands and artists from classics like John Denver to modern favorites such as Andrew Belle and Noah Gundersen.
He has developed a unique and authentic style that creates a space for emotion and honesty to take......
I have to admit it: even if I'm "only" 35, sometimes I feel a bit lost in this new music world where young people discover music from 15-second videos on TikTok and enjoy listening to 90-second tracks on Spotify. I grew up with some vinyls like Mike Oldfield and Vangelis, and I prefer the listening experience to the frenetic consumption of content that will be forgotten in a few minutes. And trust me, you will remember the music that transports you, even in 30 years.
Ollie Dixon is a UK-based artist that is doing that kind of music. By "that kind of music", I mean that you just have to close your eyes and imagine a whole scenery or fictional landscapes. And regarding his new single......
"My African Dream" is the new single from Hawaiian singer Luke Beling. Until he was 19, he grew up in South Africa, and this beautiful country still holds a special place in his heart.
That's why his new EP is a tribute to South Africa, and his two previous singles "Mzansi Afrika" and "Madiba" were an incredible mix of Zulu and indie folk.
Back to more folk roots for this final single, which reconnects the singer-songwriter with his real self. Even if African choirs hide in the song, we are in a much more acoustic universe with a lighter production. But still so detailed: if you pay attention, you will hear some sounds of African nights at the very beginning and at the end of the......
Dear beloved readers, we hope life treats you well. We know that you come here to discover extraordinary artists, often underrated, with a strong musical identity, who know how to give you chills with their music alone. And it's even better when they are incredibly creative and original.
Aasma ticks all the boxes. The artist from Sweden grew up listening to CDs by Sade and Enya. Exactly as I did, with my music-loving father who introduced me to the immersive musical journeys of artists like Mike Oldfield. Often relaxing and sometimes epic music, which transports you just by closing your eyes.
And this kind of artist is unclassifiable. They do not belong to a musical genre. They create......
Today, get ready to discover the emerging indie-folk band Ax & The Ivory. These four friends are from Adelaide, South Australia. And by dint of hanging out together, they ended up spending their time making music.
The haunting vocals of Rosie Robers are carried by magnificent vocal harmonies and by the whole group, where each instrument has its place: the alchemy is felt from the first to the last line.
A warm and comforting energy that contrasts very well with the darkness of the lyrics that evokes a separation, as the band explains:
"This track was written about the ending of a long-term relationship for one of the band members and the realization that sometimes, as hard as you......
Artists inspired by nature are definitely our favorites. That's why we fell in love with Tobias Arbo, who grew up on an island in the Stockholm archipelago, Sweden. This ideal environment allows him to slip a lot of naturalness and authenticity into his music.
Hard to believe that "Saudade", out today on all platforms via CRC Records, is his debut single. What hooked us first was the incredible writing, full of metaphors and imagery that's easy to visualize just by closing your eyes. Besides, we closed our eyes during the whole song and we were literally transported elsewhere, seeing the leaves fall. I actually think that's my favorite line from the song: "The leaves, they look so......
From the intro, we fell in love with Zack Fletcher's guitar picking. And when he started to sing, a few seconds later, we opened our mouths wide and we stayed like that for a few seconds. We wondered if it was real.
A warm voice, magnificent vocal harmonies, poetry and delicacy in the writing, and a simple production but very focused on emotions.
And you can imagine how much we love strong emotions. We found them here! The structure of the song is quite atypical and does not fall into the traditional scheme, allowing to highlight either the guitar, the voice, or the violin.
There are in "The Traveler" all the elements of the perfect indie-folk ballad, the one that raises your......
