Favorite Indie Songs of 2019 - Songs 1-10


      Here are the favorite songs from the 2019 posts of Indie Obsessive. The list reflects the blog's focus - Indie artists on the rise. Indie Obsessive has a bias towards bands that deserve more attention than they are currently receiving. Therefore, this is a list of “favorite” songs. If we ranked the “best” songs of 2019, there would be some changes.

     One more note: the qualification for the "2019 list' is based on when we discovered the song. With only a few exceptions, the songs were released in 2019. Those few bands with late-2018 releases welcome the additional exposure, so we don't feel badly.

     There isn’t a member of the Indie Obsessive staff who identifies with “song covers.” So, it is surprising to find three in this year’s list of favorites, including #1 by Manchester Orchestra (which is a Frightened Rabbits cover). The other two are Nirvana’s “Smells like Teen Spirit (by Saint Mesa) and No Doubts’ “Just a Girl” (by Tuvaband). 

     1. “My Backwards Walk” by Manchester Orchestra (from the post of July 2).


     2. “Pace” by Crooked Trees (from the post of January 4).


     3. “Nowhere” by Black Match (from the post of June 13). 


     4. “Made of Glass” by Plain Sails (from the post of February 12).


     5. “Young and Depressed” by Sean Kennedy (from the post of May 8). 


     6. "Weightless" by 100 (from the post of November 13).


     6a. [This one is not available on Spotify, but it belongs in the Top 10, therefore it's 6a] “This Rest Stop Sucks” by Curious Quail (from the post of May 24).


     7. “Rest On Me" by River Meets Sea (from the post of March 10).


     8. “Peach Fuzz” by Caamp (from the post of August 28).


     9. “Let Me Down Slowly” (feat. Alessia Cara) by Alec Benjamin (from the post of January 9).


     10. “Here I Come” by Visual Eyes (from the post of February 4).
