steph.dietrich@web.de (Emmas_House) — Fri, 03 Jan 2025 18:55:25 +0000

Another year’s been and gone and while we still aren’t in a position to do any monthly features, at least here’s a round up of 30 of our most loved tracks from 2024 in an extended episode of our little indiepop radio show. You can simply hit play below, but you’ll also find the show on Mixcloud, Soundcloud or you just listen to the songs without my annoying ramblings in between on a Spotify playlist. Thank you to all artists and labels for the wonderful music. Enjoy.

Indiepop Radio Episode 22-12

steph.dietrich@web.de (Emmas_House) — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 22:00:34 +0000

The December 2022 episode of Emmas_Housemusic brings my indiepop radio show as a regular series of monthly listeners-digest-features to an end, at least for now. I know, it’s never say never, so I won’t, but for the time being, there will be no further episodes. I’m not sure what Mixcloud is going to do with the uploaded shows if you don’t go Pro, which under the circumstances made no sense to me. The complete archive of the shows will, however, be available on this website as I do not intend to shut the site down or delete any of the existing episodes. As far as goodbyes go, I’ll let the show speak for itself and will just add my heartfelt thanks to all of you. Take care.

Here are the available bandcamp links to the artists on this episode. Please consider buying some music from them:

Our Top Ten Albums of 2022

steph.dietrich@web.de (Emmas_House) — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 15:40:12 +0000

In a year when it’s become increasingly transparent that not only do independent artists fail to make any reasonable income from selling / streaming their music but also that most of them lose money touring rather than make some, we should feel all the more blessed that there is still so much beautiful music pouring out of the creative energy channels of artists around the world that even an old indie kid with an admittedly limited range of musical preferences finds consolation in new sounds all year. Thank you to all bands, artists, and labels for keeping at it! To keep music close to your heart is one of the most important things to help with the preposterous stuff life throws at us and here’s a list of the 10 albums that served this purpose best to our entirely non-representative ears in 2022. We’d like to add that this year there were no less than six albums that we saw in a joint no. 10 spot. In the end, we settled for the one we played maybe one more time than the others, but honorary mentions must be made here of the wonderful longplayers released by Chorusgirl, The Shop Window, Dot Dash, The Orchids, & Convinced Friend.

If you find something on this list that you like, please consider buying it directly from the artists / labels via the given bandcamp links or from any other source selling music. Every little helps to make sure artists receive some money for the effort they’ve put into producing these songs. Thank you, take care, and all the best for next year!

Our Top Ten Singles / EPs of 2022

steph.dietrich@web.de (Emmas_House) — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 15:39:12 +0000

Here’s our top ten singles / eps of 2022 — without any claim that these are THE best releases from this year, because that would be nonsense, they’re the ones we liked most. And while the concept of an ep or even more so a 7″ single is pretty straightforward, the definition of what can count as a single has been blurred by the blessings of the digital age in music. So it seems reasonable to add that individual album songs that did not get a ‘proper’ single release but were merely set free into the streaming wilderness of YT or Spotify prior to the album release were still counted as singles here because they serve the same purpose as singles did in earlier years. In any case, if it’s a single to us, it should be a single to you.
