The Sound of Dallas Indie

"The Sound of Dallas Indie" is a laid-back ride through the indie music roots and current energy of Dallas, Texas. From the alt-country charm of Old 97's to the psychedelic orchestration of The Polyphonic Spree, the playlist digs into sounds that have helped shape and define the city's unique take on indie rock. Tracks like “Commitment” by Luna Luna and “OUT OF MY MIND” by little image bring a newer, more genre-fluid energy, while The Texas Gentlemen and The O's keep things grounded with their warm, southern-tinged melodies.

There's a mix of introspective songwriting, breezy harmonies, and fuzzed-out tones across artists like I Love Math, Rosegarden Funeral Party, and Housecall. It's all tied together by an appreciation for melody, a bit of grit, and a lot of character. Whether it’s the garage rock urgency of Vandoliers or the quirky pop of The Happy Bullets, this playlist captures a cross-section of Dallas’s indie landscape, old and new.
