💎💎💎Indie-Quality Impressions💎💎💎
💎A Playlist highlighting some gems found within our global indie scene💎
💎💎💎April 6, 2026 edition💎💎💎
Welcome to this very short 26 minute April 6, 2026 iteration of the twice a month 💎Indie-Quality Impressions💎 playlist… Lynx to this April 6 edition of the Indie-Quality Impressions Spotify Playlist as well as the MARCH Showcase are included in the comments…
The intention of these playlists is to highlight just how deep the pool of talented, creative and amazing artists and musicians our indie community has within it and how fortunate we all are to be able to draw a lot of inspiration and genuine feelings of gratitude that comes with belonging to this incredible global music scene. Similar to last month-this weeks playlist will be added to the next edition (Monday April 20, 2026) on a permanent “APRIL 2026 Showcase” playlist to enjoy and marvel at the artists who make up just a small portion of the majestic amount of quality and highly talented artists we have in our marvellous indie scene. Our entire scene and all those who make up our community is certainly one to be celebrated and highlighted. Each within has a brilliant and unique story to tell and THAT is something we can all be proud to be a part of.
Without further ado, let’s get ready to enjoy some of the gems found throughout our indie community along this path featured on this April 6, 2026 edition of the 💎Indie-Quality Impressions💎 playlist…
💎”Runaround”- The Steve Klatt Project,Joe Booe, Alane J Music💎
We open with stunning musical virtuosity firing on all cylinders(and from each part of this outstanding collaboration-hearing a always something which will reflect in one song the encouragement and supporting one another’s gifts(all the hallmarks inherent in our community)-a microcosm of our indie community as it is and can be) Most of these monolithic talents from our indie community need no introduction here- but the virtuosic guitar work from Steve Klatt, the supreme and astonishing vocal range of Joe Booe and the solid drumming from the legendary Alane J (who’s also an outstanding vocalist) announces this trio itself as “Runaround” opens up with a barrage of brilliance. This more recent offering to pop up on the indie community’s radar definitely brings us the expected (and sometimes unexpected-which is even better) roller coaster ride through musical peaks and valleys from these three and somehow fits all this progressive indie rock music into 3 minutes(both good numbers there, but also 😮 on how many wow moments are packed into ONLY 3 minutes- that’s a feat in itself for the genre…)
Indeed we’ve opened this playlist with a reminder of how deep the talent pool goes in our huge indie community- there are artists from all around our community who make us all proud to be a part of such an incredible indie music scene. This is a great representation from just three indie legends out of a multitude of indie legends. “Runaround” is a stunning piece of musical excellence bringing us genuine awe and inspiration while also showing us the potential we’re each capable of attaining.
💎”Adiccion”- Diana Lombana 💎
Diana Lombana (part of some of our indie community’s bright shining gemstones from Barcelona, Spain; R-an-D and Db Productions )offers her first solo release from early last year- the outstanding March 2025 release “Adiccion”.
Bringing along with her all the immense skills and talents in music from her heavy involvement with R-an-D and Db Productions- all the diverse blending of songwriting styles and moods (rock, bolero, bossa nova-and electronic) along with the brilliant production are all here which certainly helps make Diana’s music-whether solo, performing with Ryan in R-an-D or through Db Productions- a truly fascinating and quite a unique musical experience. Another artist who gives a lot to our indie scene as a whole, and another artist who- through their being involved here genuinely helps all those in our indie community realise that belonging to this music scene is something to be very proud of.
“Adiccion” is a brilliant introduction to Diana’s solo work and an exceptional sonic adventure sung in Spanish(I’m believing these lyrics contain themes on the affects of addiction…maybe guess work there, but the music seems to suggest this too)…however what is very clear through listening to this song… we have an outstanding first solo outing from an exemplary indie artist. Definitely a solo artist to enjoy, and certainly an excellent indie duo in R-an-D to further that knowledge and gratitude that ours is a community with so many gifted and brilliant artists within that deserves to be celebrated.
💎”Song For Nibbler”- Rob Harrowven Music💎
Another artist I've recently had the good fortune to be introduced to through the indie grapevine is Rob Harrowven Music- an indie artist who gives early Pink Floyd vibes along with his own unique artistic signature.
Obviously Miss Pablo 🐈⬛ 🙌 💜 has had some influence on the song chosen here, as we find ourselves introduced to Rob's cat Nibler, from his latest album release "Moving On"
First impressions is the quirky rhythmic design bubbling and moving this track along with slightly video game like synth work skimming the surface. Match that with the distortion on the guitar and all of these elements together brilliantly paints a great sonic image of a cheeky little cat named Nibler.
After hearing both "Bangles" and "Song For Nibler" it's quite impressive how Rob manage to capture his pets singing on these tracks- it's kind of like like an avant garde tone poem yet it is still very musical, original and authentic.
Listening through "Song For Nibler" in my mind there is an immediate picture which forms in the mind that Nibler is one very cheeky cat and there's also clues throughout this quirky yet charming song that Rob has a wonderful friend in his pet Nibler. The purr at the end is quite brilliantly done- a musical flourish and a wonderful song has passed through your ears.
“Song For Nibler” is certainly a charming and endearing song. Fantastic work from an artist who ultimately gives the impression of a genuine, very creative artist who puts so much of himself in the music.
💎”The Devil’s In The Detail”- Mark Storey Music💎
Ever since Mark Storey burst onto the indie scene seemingly out out the blue(but yet another reason to be grateful there are so many outstanding artists out there to discover and enjoy, I believe it was through a Sweet Beets playlist that Mark's incredible music went through these ears and immediately I had to stop and enjoy the moment). A mix of one of my favourite artists of all time Mr James Marshall Hendrix (or Jimi Hendrix for an experience...are you?), blended with the searing electric blues of muddy waters and sliding Elmore James...in all though the only way to describe Mark's Music is Mark Storey Music. Completely original and a sonic image that paints a vivid picture in your mind. I could have chosen any number of his tracks from the album which introduced this man's music to most of us but "The Devil's In The Detail" has a lyrical edge to it which has lyrical lines which will certainly catch your ear just as much as that guitar work. This is a low down funky rocking blues that definitely moves and pulses out the speakers reminding you of the immense talent around us and the sheer fun that music brings us all as musicians and artists. An exceptional artist.
💎”Against The Grain(Punk In The Corn Music Festival Edition)”-
Dashing Skull Club, KTO. Kathleen Turner Overdrive, E:W:L, Creep Diet, DEMENTERS💎
Possibly one of the most heartwarming moments during 2025-even though illness was a factor in this guy not being there, however with the miracle of modern technology (one of the good things that this rising tech boom has brought us) there was a chance to be there through a live stream- was the inaugural Punk In The Corn festival, held in Iowa with the initial spark (and put together brilliantly by) from the legendary Tim from E:W:L with a little help from a huge mass of friends and supportive indie legends…with proceeds going towards both Veterans Mental Health and Children’s Mental Health charities this was not only a major boost for the moral of our indie community but had a whole lot of heart and meaning behind it. This was definitely a master stroke toward uniting a global indie scene. Hats off to all involved. There was a few extra songs donated towards this event including this mega collab (always a brilliant reflection of the indie scene as it CAN BE and genuinely IS) between not 2, not 3 or 4 but FIVE different indie artists working towards a great cause. We have Lizzie (Vocals) from Kathleen Turner Overdrive, Tuna Ferrari(vocals), Larz Von Crowley and John Wayne Spacey-guitars (also producing through DSCLabs Productions) from Dashing Skull Club, Dustin from E:W:L on vocals, Scott From Creep Diet(and Dashing Skull Club(and more…) on bass and vocals, and Vic from Spock and importantly here the DEMENTERS on drums…man that’s one supergroup already. Each are adding their musical expertise to the Bad Religion classic (and what a song and title to choose to sum up our scene) “Against The Grain”…structurally and production wise this has Lizzie singing nearly all the way through but each vocalist gets a verse and joins in overlapping one another on the choruses until the finale where there’s the entire group joining in on the final chorus (with members of the Aussie Indie band Kathleen Turner Overdrive providing the “Oi Oi Oi” gang style “Against the Grain” vocal chant at the end. This is one powerful piece of music just over 2 minutes…it’s epic, it’s community, it’s everything that makes our indie community AWESOME. Punk In The Corn 2025 had its anthem right there. So did a global community.
💎”Ardwick”- The Belle Vue Zoo💎
Indie legend The Belle Vue Zoo goes straight to your soul with this slice of pure Funk and (I know I’ve already mentioned this word but I’ll say it again with emphasis as dynamic as this song) Soul styled groover which has all the hallmarks of an Insta-Classic written all over it. With a funky acoustic guitar strumming a syncopated groove, solid drum part strutting about, a beautiful weaving bass sound and a vocal which take you wandering through the streets of the protagonist of this song’s youth with a harmonious call and response like vocal part bringing echoes of Stax and Motown…you’re reeled right in. The instant this song worked its magic into these ears there was a feeling this was a track which deserves recognition. Here it is. Almost wistful and somber lyrical themes juxtapose with the unmistakable groove of this piece, a mini epic and a brilliant piece of songwriting. Something to be expected from this brilliant artist.
💎”Vine Of The Heart”- Crayon Tabibito💎
Thailand’s own indie artist- The incredibly kindhearted, supportive, very talented and creative Crayon Tabibito brings us a beautiful piece of music here (of which I’m sure there’s a collaboration coming up between the extraordinary Ataraxia Music on this same piece- very much looking forward to that) sung in his native tongue but translated as “Vine of The Heart” (With the heart being the place of kindness and empathy this could both be a description of Crayon as he genuinely is and in broader terms this may be a Thailand folk song (correct me if this interpretation is wrong here…))…what is truly clear about this track is the sheer beauty and elegance within the music. I’ve been waiting to be able to give Crayon the recognition he deserves- here is a chance to hear a brilliant example of what Crayon Tabibito brings to our community and what is to come in a future collaboration as mentioned with the equally exceptionally talented Ataraxia Music.
That’s the incredible second last track and 7 amazing tracks featured on this April 6, 2026 edition of the 💎Indie-Quality Impressions💎playlist -by listening to any of these artists from our community through ANY means you may wish; not only this playlist- certainly helps us realise there is an immense amount of brilliance within our community that we can all be proud to belong to: an environment with artists such as those featured here and those who are a part of our entire community, each within and around our globe playing a vital part in genuinely making us all proud…(There is an eighth track on this playlist-but as I’ve said before-reviewing that last track would just be plain weird)
Huge thanks to all the above mentioned artists and those indie gems who are found all the way throughout our indie community for your inspiration, encouragement of others alongside you in our scene and the uplifting qualities of the gifts you share with us all. It’s always appreciated and ALWAYS something to make us all proud to be involved in this amazing environment- filled with immense talent and a whole lotta support. Music has the ability to profoundly and deeply inspire us all, and artists such as these and all those who create the works of pure beauty and art that reflect what it is to be human utterly deserves to be celebrated.
Much gratitude to all within our indie music community for being the artists and people you are. If you look throughout all the stars and planets around our universe-as long as we all respect and do not harm one another-those here on our wonderful earth each has a unique story which has EVERY right to be heard. Everyone on this planet deserves compassion, kindness and the knowledge that they truly matter and are appreciated for being here.
Myles❤️🙏💜and Miss Pablo🐈⬛🙌💜
