“Anaesthetic”: Thomston
This is a fairly unknown song, although I can’t imagine why. Thomston’s voice is atmospheric and melodic, and the song provides an eerie sound that lends itself best to late-night listening.
“Drop the Game”: Chet Faker
“I’ve been seeing all, I’ve been seeing your soul/Give me things that I’ve wanted to know/Tell me things that you’ve done.” If that’s not angsty, I don’t know what is.
“Sea Creatures”: SOAK
Unique, catchy melody with a solidly angsty music video.
“1965”: Zella Day
There’s a Lana Del Rey–esque dreamlike quality to this.
“To The Hills”: Laurel
Listen now and be amazed.
“Genius Next Door”: Regina Spektor
A storyline only Regina could think up.
“Work Song”: Hozier
It’s deep. It’s dark. Another great single from Hozier.
“What Kind of Man” and “Ship to Wreck”: Florence and the Machine
This is from Florence + The Machine’s new album, the rest of which has yet to be released. Give it a listen; Florence still has it.
“California Gold Rush”: Sara Jackson-Holman
This one is also mysteriously unknown. Jackson-Holman’s voice is deep, rich, and completely amazing.
“I Can’t Make You Love Me”: Bon Iver
I swear it’ll make you cry.
“Teen Idle” and “Happy”: Marina and the Diamonds
Marina’s voice has not only a brilliant range but also an amazing depth and quality that resonates with many people. “Happy” is from her new album, Froot, and ends us on a bit of a happier note. It’s still angsty though, I promise.
