The Best Indie Songs of 2015 - The Very Best

 

The closest this uncultured heathen ever got to African music was Paul Simon’s Graceland. But if you like that may I suggest you are going to love The Very Best Let Go (Jan’15). It may well be the best indie song of 2015 early doors. That’s all I got. Let Go is a bit African and a lot of sweet, sweet, well actually, amazingly sweet pop.

The Very Best are the definition of great indie pop; both culturally disparate and universal, mentally stimulating, spiritually uplifting and watch out that's your arse shaking. More than the sum of it's parts, this really is the very best, I wouldn’t lie to you.
 

 

Let Go is the second single from The Very Best’s second long player Makes A King (April’15). The duo are from Malawi and Sweden but fight out of London.

Shit you need to know:

Makes A King has a bloke from Vampire Weekend, the bassist Chris Baio, on the album. Let Go is one of the songs that features him.

Makes A King was recorded in Malawi with random locals assisting.

The band describe themselves as ‘global pop’ and have collaborated with M.I.A.

If you're looking for more sweet pop from The Very Best don't go past Makes A King, Kamphobo and Kondaine.

Scintillating seconds goes to L Fresh The Lion and Survive (2014).

There's a sublime fusion of Sikh and Aussie going on in this indie hip hop tune from Sydney. More multi-cultural magic.
