More about: On Repeat

March is done, Q1 is over, spring is coming! 

Rounding out the month with our On Repeat playlist, the Gigwise team hand picked their favourite tracks from March. Featuring big hitters from some of the biggest albums of 2023 so far alongside the best new offerings from up-and-comers; find your new fave song.

Angel Olsen — 'Nothing’s Free'

Angel Olsen went from lo-fi folk to experimental indie-pop to almost country and she doesn’t stop there. “Nothing’s Free” the lead single from Asheville-based artist’s upcoming EP Forever Means sees her go in an almost gospel direction yet with her unique spin on it. (Aleksandr Smirnov)

Eyesore & The Jinx - 'An Ideas Man'

A surreal swirl into the absurdity of post-millennial British life. Upheld by a buoyant guitar riff and a steady rhythm section that parallels the hopeless monotony of Being A Renter, 'An Ideas Man' is a weird and witty take on the horrors of land ownership. (Tilly Foulkes)

Neve Bowen - 'Song For Anna'

Not only am I a sucker for the drama of a song with a person's name in the title (who are they, what did they do?) - Neve Bowen’s first ever single is explosive with potential. Dark, gothic, lyrically sharp and incredibly tight for a debut. The subtle horns in the outro and the echoing vocals turn your headphones into heaven… (Lucy Harbron)

Sleaford Mods- 'D.I.Why'

Prowling, snarling and dripping in disdain, this cut off the Nottingham duo's newest album UK GRIM sees them explore new territories. This swipe at "post-punk dross" shows exactly why we need acts like Sleaford Mods as an antidote. (Cameron Sinclair-Harris)

The Dare - ‘Good Time’

After dropping his old Turtlenecked moniker in August, the indie sleaze faithful, Harrison Smith, is back and better than ever as The Dare. Creating outrageous,  raucous, pleasure-driven pop, 'Good Time' is as close as we can get to actually being in New York's burgeoning indie scene here in the UK. (Cian Kinsella)

Tilly Louise - ‘Join The Club’

Truly insatiable pop coming from Liverpool with just over 500 monthly listeners - i feel like i’ve found a hidden treasure. All boiling into a huge chorus with boisterous guitars and a massive dose of joy, Tilly Louise is making good old fashioned alt-pop as she joins the league of rising scouse talent such as ZuZu and Pixey. (Lucy Harbron)
