Lonely Mission is the 11th album by Canadian indie musician Jake Nicoll. The title refers to both the title track of the album and to the time of the album’s creation - deep in the dark lonely depths of the pandemic. Stranded on his family farm for that first year of lockdowns and outbreaks, Jake assembled himself a studio in a cabin, built himself a number of vintage styled tube preamps, microphones and compressors and nestled into his creative cocoon. With the snowy rolling hills and farm fields as a backdrop, Jake let his creativity wander; writing, recording and experimenting with a patience that only a locked-down pandemic world could grant to an artist. Having stepped out of the endless rush of touring, producing albums, and running a recording studio, Jake found himself thinking about the larger questions of life and the future of this warming planet.

​If you like Belle & Sebastian, try also the Swedish trio Vivii.  A positive dream about life with musical inspiration from their youth.

​Is he really the wonder boy when he blends different music styles into energetic pop- or rocksongs, or when he sings like an emotional troubadour?  The future will tell. But for now just enjoy his wonderful music.  Strongly recommended indeed.

​Another release, recommended for lovers of indie singer-songwriters. 

​This new EP is for lovers of indie pop. 

​A debut EP with indie pop and jazzy sounds, worth listening to!

​Sensitive melancholic album with a few extraordinary compositions like ‘It Won’t Happen To Me’.  Textually the future, musically the past!

​Beautiful fingerpicking guitar and an interesting story.  While you listen to this psychedelic oriented album, scroll through the website and imagine the lonely life of a scientist in Siberia. 

Cradlesongs or lullabies from Midland UK musician Bill Pritchard  make me tender, give me also a smile on my face, let me enjoy every second.  Less is more, indeed my friend!

​An indie pop EP, for those who like folk.

The sound of the Edmonton-based band King of Foxes is musically polished. Olivia Street, original and colorful lyrics are therefore hyperbolized with a lot of polychrome musical arrangements. The band is leaving the Indie rock scene here and is basically basing themselves on some pop-tinged songs.

A nice EP that will appeal to fans of Americana. 

​Recommended to lovers of indie pop, with a bonus Blu-ray disc with videos in 5.1 surround. 

​This third album from singer-songwriter Tony Gee is excellent for those who love smooth indie pop.

Wonderful debut from Berlin’s industrial band Hope.  Perfect soundscapes to support iconic singer Christine Börsch-Supan.  Hope will become the next cultband of Germany?

With her first solo album, Sophia Marshall proves she is a talented singer / songwriter who is not limited to Americana. Folk, Indiepop and alternative country also sound wonderful.

13 songs in an acoustic setting that contain both Indie pop and influences of world music

An album filled with pop, folk, Americana, rock and indie pop at a high level. John Calvin Abney is an artist to keep an eye on!

Nine original songs with Americana and Indie as basis. Unfortunately, the album sounds a bit too tame.

Beautiful voices and songs influenced by folk, jazz and classical music, make that West My Friend is certainly not a band of ‘thirteen in a dozen’.

‘And The Golden Choir” is the one-man project of the German Tobias Siebert. For five years he worked at 'Another Half Life'. He wrote all the songs, made the arrangements and played all the instruments. The indie pop songs include feelings of euphoria, melancholy and drama and follow each other in the same peaceful atmosphere. With the help of other musicians this album undoubtedly have had more impact.

A second EP from this pop/punk band, filled with energy, that remind of their live shows.
