2019 has been a stupendously good year for genres associated with independent music’s more darker and introspective side as the quality we’ve been able to feature in our New Post Punk/ Darkwave/ Coldwave/ Shoegaze/ Post Rock Playlist on Spotify attests.
Yesterday we shared its final update with you which now means that all 921 tracks featured throughout the year are safely tucked away in its Tracks of 2019 Series Playlist which you’ll find below. Here is a substantive list of the bands and artists who contributed to those 900+ tracks in their representative genres. We hope you enjoy!
