Dashboard Light

Work Drugs

More summer music.

Although not typical Indie music, I have been following this group since I first came across 'Flaunt the Imperfection' from their album of the same name released back in August 2017.

It's dreamy music, and this new release is suited for hot summer evenings sitting around on the beach watching the sun go down.

A chill, and relax song.

Work Drugs are from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA and the why for in the name can be found here in Wikipedia - it's not what you think.

What's The Worst That Can Happen?

The Lilacs

Confess I had not come across this band from Wigan, near Manchester before, although they have been around since 2018.

This is a great song for the summer, taking everyone away from all the usual doom and gloom (and heat!), off on your summer holiday road trip to where you always dreamed to go.

Catchy uplifting tune.

And the old man on the bus is all too right.

Bitter

Mackenna Rose

an artist from the Gold Coast no less, where I had the pleasure of living and working for five years.

Even if Mackenna Rose talks in the plural in here’ About the artist’ Spotify description, I have not yet discovered any other songs by her.

A song that grows with each listen

Covered In You

The Rolling Stones

No point at all in going into much of anything about them - we all know!

Out of the 14 songs on this album, this one just appeals. It swings between the old Stones and something new, to the extent that Mick’s voice changes with sections.

Sure, there’s bigger ‘tunes’ on this album.

But I like this one. And yes it going to be one of their great albums!

Is This Real

overpass

From the album “Elsewhere, Always” released 5 June, 2026.

First came across this Birmingham band back in 2021 with the release of ‘Otherside of Midnight’ in February that year, one of my favorite songs from that year.

There have been been many more, with that clean, guitar Indie sound.
This is one of those.
