10 Dark Americana Tracks Brimming With Quiet Anguish
If you asked me to describe one of the 2020's most popular musical aesthetics, I'd immediately jump to the genre that conjures images of haunted churches, grimy trailer parks and tattered American flags wavering in the wind. This genre has a lot of labels, including slowcore, indie pop and Southern gothic, but I've always thought of it as "dark Americana."

TubeFreeks Debut New Single “Flower” Co-Written with Sevendust’s Clint Lowery
Hard rock band TubeFreeks have released their newest single “Flower,” co-written with Clint Lowery of Sevendust. The song arrives alongside a new music video directed by nationally recognized filmmaker Tom Flynn. “Flower” showcases TubeFreeks’ ability to merge melodic heaviness with the raw intensity of contemporary rock. It carries the hook-laden energy reminiscent of peak post-grunge while feeling immediate and present in its execution. The track is driven by complex drum patterns and heavy rhythm guitar that create tension and motion throughout the verses. At the center, frontman Paul van Valkenburgh delivers a vocal performance that is raw, distinct, and unmistakably his own. His voice cuts through the dense instrumentation while maintaining emotional clarity, allowing listeners to feel both the urgency and the intimacy of the song.

FML Indeed
Not every song can be a banger. Still, it's sad to be reminded that artists can be incredibly inconsistent and unreliable in terms of quality. Most of the bands and solo artists I follow release new music that I love immediately, so I am not used to hearing a new song that only gets worse the more I listen to it from an artist I previously thought I liked.

Playlist: shoegaze to blues
Spacecadetbloom – Playing Cards Going back more than 30 years, My Bloody Valentine were on the bill at the first gig I ever attended (in the glamourous surroundings of Whitley Bay Ice Rink, no less). I’d mostly gone to hear the Mary Chain, but MBV’s wall of dense, swirling sound made a huge, positive impression. Blur, the odd man out on that Rollercoaster tour, also made a huge impression, but sadly not a positive one.
