56 Songs We Liked from January 2020

Between our daily coverage and our Notable Releases and Bill’s Indie Basement columns, we post tons of new music all the time here on BrooklynVegan. In an effort to keep track of all the new music we’re excited about, we’ve been posting a new playlist each month with many of the songs we love that were (mostly) released that month.

Our 2020 is already looking pretty good and our January playlist includes songs from CocoRosie, Hayley Williams, Thundercat, Destroyer, The 1975, Real Estate, Meek Mill, US Girls, Austra, Higher Power, Four Tet, Porridge Radio, Stephen Malkmus, Waxahatchee, Agnes Obel, Trail of Dead, Bombay Bicycle Club, Empress Of, Future ft. Drake, Shopping, Wasted Shirt (Ty Segall and Brian Chippendale) and more.

Listen below and subscribe to the playlist at Spotify. The playlist will be updated with new songs each month, and archived playlists of past months are here.

Plus: Burial Waves’ “Cinema Shame” which is not on Spotify:
