Lovely Colours — “Out There”
Seattle-based Lovely Colours is making big moves this month with the release of their new track, “Out There.” Preceded by the release of “No Angel,” the latest offering is straight of an indie dream. Band vocalist and guitarist Devin Damitio shares, “We wrote ‘Out There’ about a moment of transition. It’s about surviving the in-between, those phases where you’re not sure where you’re headed, but you keep moving anyway.” Stay tuned for more Lovely Colours on the way. —Maria Serra
Yumi Zouma — “Phoebe’s Song”
Yumi Zouma, beloved for their blistering and buzzy indie rock, is taking a softer approach on their latest offering, “Phoebe’s Song.” The band’s own Josh Burgess wrote it for his partner. Burgess notes, “‘Phoebe’s Song’ is a real outlier in our catalogue. We honestly don’t have many love songs! It’s a bold testament to our love, but also a small window into the joy of coexisting with your person. Shout out to the ‘Uncleared’ Nokia ringtone. Thank you, YouTube. Thank you, Phoebe. Thank you, world, for sharing this love. One love.” Stay tuned for Yumi Zouma’s forthcoming LP, No Love Lost To Kindness, due on January 30, 2026, via Nettwerk. —Maria Serra
In Color — “Lighter”
In Color is busy on the road supporting The Band Camino, and they’re also launching their new track, “Lighter.” Following the release of singles “Headlights,” “Time,” and “I Want You,” the indie-rock act’s latest drop is utterly euphoric, brimming with sunny melodies and ethereal vocals. They say of the track, “‘Lighter’ is about the kind of memory that lingers longer than it should. It lives in that space between regret and acceptance, the kind of honesty that only comes when you’re finally ready to stop pretending you’re fine.” Stay tuned for more from the rising act. —Maria Serra
Lø Spirit — “Aløne”
Lø Spirit dives into the ache of loving the wrong person on his new single “Aløne,” a slow-burning anthem built on sweeping guitars and raw emotion. The track captures the kind of relationship where you feel more isolated with someone than without them—“where your wins don’t matter, and your love is never enough,” he shares. —Paige Owens
Vienna Vienna — “Idle Hands”
Vienna Vienna returns with his sharpest release, “Idle Hands.” Blending ‘80s pop shimmering elements with bursts of indie rock synths and distorted guitars, the track is anchored by the infectious chorus, “My idle hands/Keep me occupied all the time/I fail to launch/But I’m the rocket man in my mind.” As Vienna Vienna puts it, “Change lies at your footsteps, not your fingertips…we’re building a community over here and we’d genuinely love to have you.” —Paige Owens
