Notes: Alternate takes, demos, concepts, whatnot.

Gregory and the Hawk - 8-Track Demos
Release date: 2005
Genre: Indie folk, folk pop
Notes: The opening track is so fucking essential, and the last track isn't on anything else, I believe, which is tragic given that it's absolutely gorgeous.
Gregory & The Hawk - Olives
Release date: 2004
Genre: Indie folk, folk pop
Notes: G&TH would go hand-in-hand with lo-fi recording (the kind of microcassette or landline or Nokia recording quality seen elsewhere on this page) and this is like halfway to that point.
Gregory and the Hawk - The Boats And Birds EP (Demo)
Release date: 2002
Genre: Indie folk
Notes: I sorta forget if the Boats & Bird EP is a beloved actual indie folk classic or if I just think it should be and retconned it into one in my memory. Regardless, here's a first-take view of it. Title track is essential.

bulldog eyes - coolest apartment ep
Release date: March 20th, 2013
Genre: Indie rock, bedroom pop, emo, slacker rock

bulldog eyes - shame [+]
Release date: 2014
Genre: Indie rock, bedroom pop, slacker rock, lo-fi
Notes: Distinct contender for my favorite album ever, and this version has bonus tracks that are possibly even better. No one knows, no one knows, no one knows.
tartt - wish bone
Release date: 2020
Genre: Indie, bedroom pop
Notes: "wah wah wah wah"
heavenly angel bees - "i will get closer to you, i will see you in my dreams"

OK Friends - (mostly) everything

tape me eating you - february

Lycanthropes Anonymous - Lycanthropes Anonymous
Release date: 2022

Roberth L. - Domicile EP
Release date: 2018
Genre: Indie rock
Notes: It might just be more, but I think there's a psychedelic veneer hovering over this EP. Neat.
crystal meadows - fall to pieces

Genre: Acoustic, bedroom pop
Notes: "something about somebody fucking up throwing up on a rug and how im not to blame"
Various - A Prospect of the Sea
Release date: 1991
Genre: Indie pop, twee pop, poetry
Notes: One of the greatest compilations ever IMO. The pure condensed spirit of DIY twee; absurdly lo-fi, warped (why does only available scan look like it's been run over by a car?), and disarmingly sincere. "Everything You Do" is one of my favorite songs ever, and the poetry interludes are very nice. Forgotten gem.

Release date: January 2021
Genre: Acoustic
Notes: waiting till tomorrow, waiting for my friend, wait for you, till the very end

Notes: I know it's acoustic guitar, but it somehow feels exactly like ukelele strumming.

Release date: 2007
Genre: Indie folk, twee pop
Notes: But it does come of CD, apparently.
bulldog eyes - hidden ii (demo)
Release date: 2023
Genre: Bedroom pop
Notes: Instrumental acoustic demo. Now's as good a time as any to remind you that if you like the music, bulldog eyes is going through some rough times and any purchase on his bandcamp would be appreciated. I hope things get better in his world soon, he definitely deserves it.

Release date: 2017
Genre: Bedroom pop

Bowersox-Mattern - Snyder County Boys (Covers/Demos)
Release date: September 14th, 2019
Genre: Country, Singer-Songwriter, Contemporary Folk
Notes: Someone needs to explain to Bandcamp artists who delete their covers because of copyright that Johnny Cash's label has better things to do than sue you, I've almost lost so many songs because of this train of thought.

Release date: January 13th, 2021
Genre: Indie rock, lofi, twee pop
Notes: Then I look in the mirror and realize I've got on a halo, and I died and went to heaven to be your guardian angel...

Ogbert The Nerd - (Live In Minecraft)
Release date: June 5th, 2020

ogbert the nerd - buddie's basement, 8/3
Release date: August 3rd, 2019
Genre: Acoustic emo
Notes: New Jersey emo ballads, played on a threadbare setup in a friend's basement and recorded on a Nokia by the sounds of it. If you know the originals, it's a must-listen, and is also worth a shot if lo-fi emo is already up your alley.
Tinyfolk - Incredible Snow
Release date: 2011

OK Friends - Blu Eyes b/w Backseat
Release date: December 20th, 2017

Release date: 2005
Genre: Twee pop

Super Famicom – Everybody Else In My Band Is Romantic
Release date: 2006
Genre: Indie Rock, Acoustic, Folk, Freak Folk, Lo-Fi
Notes: "So I moved back to my hometown. [...] I was very depressed about this bad decision, and wrote songs about death. With my music, I didn't want to do what it took to attract the younger crowd of new scenesters. In fact, for a long time, I'd wanted to write music for grown-ups and hipsters. The only way I could figure to do that was to start singing with a weird, fake accent. So I did, and it worked. As a cool freak folker, I got a label called Tract Records to put out this cd."

Tinyfolk - Remarkable Renewal Of Your Body Hen
Release date: 2009
Genre: Electronic
Notes: Autotune, odd processing, glitchiness, and dance elements mixed with Tinyfolk's naive songwriting into a peculiar and disorienting listen. You know it's good when Farrah Abraham comes to mind as a point of comparison.
Super Famicom – The Good Lord Sent A Whale To Swallow Me
Release date: 2005
Genre: Indie Rock, Acoustic, Indie Folk, Folk, Lo-Fi
Notes: A CD coming with a coloring book as the lyrics booklet is absolutely adorable. It's a shame these are all self released DIY stuff and I have a better chance at getting struck by lighting than obtaining one of them.
hateappreciate - existential crisis songs
Release date: 2020
Genre: Indie?
Notes: Fitting for the title, given that it's distinctly on the verge of coherence and disintegration.

Notes: The world needs more psychedelic twee.
Super Famicom - The Inside Voices
Release date: 2005
Genre: Indie rock, lo-fi
Notes: "Back to 2006, The Inside Voices was my first attempt at writing music for grown-up non-scenesters. It is an epic story in song, about a fictional journey to the bottom of my self. I experimented a lot, and my vocals were somewhat mumbled. I was really into The Microphones. For the recording of this cd, I locked myself in my room for about 4 days, and I did nothing but write and record this album. It was a cool time."

Release date: 2019

Genre: Indie rock, indie pop
Notes: Essential listening for living in a small Canadian town.
Jen Turrell - Jiyuu De

Release date: January 2003
Genre: Acoustic emo
Notes: Feels like bonus tracks and demos for "PS if the answer is no," which it very well might be. I wish we had covers for these, but so be it.
