New Indie & Alternative: Our Favorite Songs of December!

10th December 2025 sandra

Your Indie-Alt Soundtrack to December

Hi, monitos!

It’s been a while! You might have noticed that November is missing from this blog, but don’t worry — we still shared our monthly playlist on Spotify. Anyway, we’re back with some recommendations for December.

This month we’ve got a little bit of everything: energy, peace, craziness… We don’t like to get stuck in any one mood or genre (as you might have noticed).

New Indie Alternative December Playlist 2025

Can’t See – Westside Cowboy

Westside is the headliner of our playlist with this punchy track that reminds us of that indie rock/garage sound that we love, but the lyrics, instead of portraying anger or revenge, seem to be in a limbo of desperation and bittersweetness. We know this song might hit hard for some of you.

You can’t sleep, but you try

You say it′s better late than never

You can’t sleep, but you try

You figure out you don′t know what you want

Gentle Reminder – MT Jones

We can never get bored of a beautiful love song with a funky vibe. MT Jones created this elegant and timeless love song that will soothe you in these cozy December evenings. P.S. He’s so cool and even left us a comment on TikTok. Much love to him!

Here’s a gentle reminder, that I love you so
Here’s a gentle reminder, you already know
Me and you can go the distance
No matter what’s between us
There ain’t a mountain top too high

Coming Up – Active Child

Active Child is back, monitos! After taking a little breather, he picked up his great-grandfather’s old 1950s D’Angelico guitar and boom!! sparked a whole new chapter.

His new single “Coming Up” is this gentle, folksy, quietly emotional hug of a song. Please, let him know we need him to continue making music.

But they keep coming up

A long time now with yourself

They keep coming up

A long time now with yourself

Sippy Cup – My First Time

The rising band’s fourth new track of 2025, frontman Isaac explains to Kerrang! that it follows “a modern-day Caesar of beer drinking and disposable vape smoking, we offer the King Of The Sofa a sip from the golden chalice, promising endless parties, inflated confidence, and fleeting euphoria.

“There are no winners or losers when you’re too drunk to care. Inspecting the grim reality of escapism through vices, the protagonist remains trapped between the fingers of a broken system. Still, alcohol offers the illusion of freedom, confidence, and limitless possibility… all you have to do is drink from the golden chalice.”

Evangeline – Whitney, Maddison Cunningham

Whitney is back with a gem. The Chicago indie-soul duo dropped “Evangeline,” a dreamy, dramatic track lifted even higher by Madison Cunningham’s ethereal vocals. It’s honestly gorgeous.

When the magic’s gone, instead of moving onI hesitate and worryIf you cross my mindIs it out of lineTo let you know I’m sorry?

But that’s not all! If you like this list, you should give a chance to our month playlist (it’s updated every month with the best indie/alternative songs)

Bye!
