A journey through deep waters, missed connections, and songs that hit where it hurts.

This week on IndieRE, your host Lilly Vanilli from Radio Helsinki takes you on a handpicked trip through Austria's vibrant indie landscape. Sharing some personal favourites, but also a few tracks she herself only discovered while putting this episode together. Expect surprises, goosebumps, and maybe even a little heartbreak.

We begin by floating down the Donau with Tober, drift through heartbreak with Leeta's Arrow, and dive into the haunting depths of Jeanne D’Arte's Tiefe Meere sind schwarz. From the heartbreak haikus of Laurenz Nikolaus to the quiet fury of Beaks, this show blends dreamy pop, dark folk, feminist anthems, and gothic synth textures into one powerful mix.

We dance awkwardly through the existential confusion of Pauls Jets, feel the electronic unease of Monsterheart, and get pulled into the poetic protest of Vereter's Gürtel Walzer. We wrap things up with Dives, who say farewell after a decade of fearless feminist indie rock.
