Coronavirus quarantine has kept us huddled inside for the entire month of March and most of April. You’ve probably gotten your kicks plenty times over with old and new vinyl. Chances are, however, you’re starting to run out of new listening material.

Are you looking for your guide to the best indie artists of 2020? If so, we’ve got your back. Read on to discover the best indie artists of 2020!

Bamily

Hailing from London, Bamily is what you look for in a Phoenix-like quartet. Bamily uses funky grooves to pull you into its rhythm section and shimmering melodic sections.

They are the ultimate upcoming band/DJ set and take some cues from Glass Animals. The five singles they released are shining examples of why we are all looking for what’s next from these indie artists.

Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard

It’s the British invasion all over again! These four Cardiff indie artists are making gritty, garage rock that makes you swoon. Their sound is similar to T-Rex, and their concerts are wild due to their various senses of style.

If you’re looking for a little dirt in your life, but you don’t want to get too muddy, check out Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard.

Deaton Chris Anthony

Tony Hawk approves of this Los Angeles producer, so he must be quality, right? Deaton Chris Anthony music transports us back to the ’80s and ’90s with glistening synths and lo-fi hip hop beats. He’s the perfect indie artist for reminiscing and feeling new at the same time.

He seamlessly blends R&B and funk with ’80s and ’90s pop and takes the listener for an eclectic joy ride. His personality is infectious, and he looks like he’s enjoying every second of his live performances. If you’re looking for an outright good time, join Deaton’s club.

Finneas

Don’t expect sultry, throaty vocals from this indie artist. He’s not his sister, Billy Eilish. He’s his own man, and you can hear it on his records.

You can hear similar threads in his production quality, but his lyrical subjects are not mysterious and enigmatic, they’re the exact opposite: honest and forthcoming.

Finneas’s straightforward lyrical arrangements are the perfect counterpoint to Billy’s interpretive lyrics. When you know how you’re feeling, break out Finneas, when you’re feeling some kind of way, but you don’t know what it is, play Billy.

JGreyy

Indie artists come in many unique forms. Jgreyy is unlike anything you’ve heard before, primarily because of the topics she discusses. For example, one of her songs is about a chicken dinner. Who knew sarcasm and satire could sound so smooth?

This indie artist has loads of flare and is ready to take you on a silky R&B ride fully equipped with laughs along the way.
