Our favorite indie tracks of July 2026
Hello, monitos!
We hope you’re reading this from a cool swimming pool while sipping on a Piña Colada! It’s crazy hot in the jungle, but Nito (our pet monkey) has been listening to music (as always) and wants to share his favorite tracks with you
New Indie Alternative July Playlist 2026
Day Five – common goldfish
This month’s playlist is headlined by our beloved Common Goldfish!!!
‘Day Five’ is a psychedelic indie rock anthem about how we’re all just waiting for Friday to arrive (capitalism..!). It effortlessly bridges the gap between 90s Madchester/Britpop and modern indie-electronic/funk, making it the perfect soundtrack for the summer. After all, what are holidays if not an eternal Friday?
More about common goldfish:
Common Goldfish is the solo project of London-based producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jonty Lovell.
Originally starting as a self-produced studio project created in Tottenham, Common Goldfish blends 90s Britpop and Madchester vibes with funk basslines, breakbeats, and warm lo-fi electronica. Before hitting venues, he built a fanbase through spontaneous guerrilla gigs: playing along the canals of Hackney Wick and at local London skateparks.
Caught In A Jam – Portraits of Tracy
If your jam are songs that sound straight out of a fever dream, this will be your summer’s anthem of choice. The track takes inspiration from artists like Gary Numan, Tom Tom Club, and Squeeze, mixing metronomic drum beats with a massive singalong chorus.
More about Portraits of Tracy: it’s the project of Baton Rouge singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Tracy Geneviève Amare. She blends classic rock, 70s synth-pop, and indie rock into catchy and genre-less songs.
High Hopes 3000 – ROLE MODEL
If you’re into music with a touch of country, this is the perfect song for you. Stepping away from the moody pop of Role Model’s previous work, the track moves into vintage rock territory. It’s an infectious, catchy song with relatable lyrics about wanting to build meaningful connections in this world.
More about ROLE MODEL: Role Model is the music project of singer-songwriter Tucker Pillsbury. He is known for writing honest songs about relationships, growing up, and personal struggles.
Gemini – Summer Salt
If you’re more into dreamy-feel-good songs. This is our choice for you. The instrumentation sounds like breezy blend of 1960s surf rock, bossa nova rhythms and beach pop. The track sounds like a sonic hug that will keep you in an eternal summer. Nito is already vibing to this one
More about Summer Salt:
Summer Salt is an indie-pop band formed by high school friends Matthew Terry and Eugene Chung. Known for their warm, beachy sound and nostalgic melodies.
That’s all for today! We hope you’re enjoying your summer and that these songs bring back beautiful nostalgic memories or spark some high hopes for the future.
See you in August!
