Plan A First Date And We'll Give You An Indie Album To Check Out

Wow, you just landed a hot date for this weekend! How did you meet them?

Your date texts you and asks where you want to meet. What location do you pick? 

After 30 minutes of slightly awkward conversation, you propose an activity. Which do you suggest? 

The two of you start talking about your taste in music. Which artist have you been listening to recently? 

Your date mentions they're getting hungry. Where do you go for dinner?

Your date went great, but now you have to say goodbye. What do you do? 

And finally, what will you remember most about your date? 

You're effortlessly cool and a little mysterious, preferring to watch the world go by around you. You like driving at night with the windows down, sipping a hot drink in the corner of a cafe, and having deep conversations with friends. British musician Arlo Parks' 2020 album "Collapsed in Sunbeams" is the perfect album for you. Parks pairs her cinematic lyrics and unique singing voice with hypnotizing guitar and drum loops.  Songs to check out first: "Caroline" and "Green Eyes."

Soft, romantic, and a bit old-fashioned, you enjoy candlelit dinners, open windows with fluttering curtains, and the sun in your hair. I think your vibes match perfectly with Alice Phoebe Lou's 2021 album "Glow." The South African singer-songwriter takes you through all the ups and downs of falling in and out of love and discovering yourself by using slow keyboards, guitars, and drums. Songs to check out first: "Only When I" and "Dusk."

You're easygoing, lighthearted, and like to jump headfirst into spontaneous adventures with your loved ones. You like exploring nature, petting strangers' dogs, and eating good food fresh from the garden. On her 2020 album "Hannah," listen to Texan artist Lomelda's earnest melodies and matter-of-fact delivery while driving down a country lane with your BFF in the passenger seat. Songs to check out first: "Hannah Sun" and "It's Infinite."

You're eclectic, multifaceted mind gives you an intensely creative spirit. You like driving fast on the highway, checking out old-school diners, and exploring urban ruins. Just like your refusal to settle in one place for too long, American musician Bartees Strange's 2020 album "Live Forever" bounces back and forth among indie rock, rap, house, math rock, and blues so quickly that this album is both an explosion and a rejection of genre. 

Songs to check out first: "Mustang" and "Boomer"

You're loud, loving, and passionate about everything you do. Here's a short list of things you enjoy: colorful clothing, telling strangers you love them, and roaming around in bustling and vibrant cities. New York City-based duo Rubblebucket is the band for you; their 2018 album "Sun Machine" is an experimental indie pop masterpiece full of synth-laden bops about sincerity, love, and working through struggles. Songs to check out first: "Donna" and "Fruity."

Old at heart but with a youthful enthusiasm for new discoveries, you're a fan of everything retro and anything underground. Scattered with vintage clothes, vinyl stores, magazine cutouts and DIY projects, your life is full of the secondhand and the mismatched. Self-made singer Steve Lacy's music is as independent as it gets; he even recorded his first EP on his iPhone. The California-based musician's 2019 project "Apollo XXI" is full of samples, textures, and ever-present '70s vibes to match your explorations into the corners of pop culture.  Songs to check out first: "Playground" and "N Side."
