Indie Pop Vol 156 (Jan 2017)

 Indie Pop Vol 156 (Jan 2017)

New year, new music. My Indie Pop compilations show no sign of stopping as I'm now into my 28th year of doing this.

A new feature for this edition is the number of Spotify listens for each track, which is the number in brackets after each track listing.

*Not currently on Spotify

This time there are 59 tremendous tracks (53 of which can be found on the Spotify playlist plus the bonus track of Astrid - Weird Clouds), some tremendous new songs, and a few old ones thrown in for good measure, enjoy:
