These are not \u201cfusion\u201d or \u201ccross-genre\u201d tracks, but their alternative rock stylings take as much from beatmaking tutorials and techniques as they do from Paramore and Alex G.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            The FADER rounded up six standout projects from the scene, from our recent Opener star aeter to the overly viral Ebril. We kept it to full-length albums released over the past year, which means there are a few clear omissions, including ankle (his self-titled 2024 EP has <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/ankleankle\/arms-around-me\">grown on me<\/a>) and crayon (last year\u2019s <i><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/copics\/sets\/bsidesanddemos\">b-sides and demos<\/a><\/i> was more of a compilation tape). And while genre boundaries are pretty fake, we\u2019ve also left out some excellent albums that incorporate more heavy electronic influence: <i><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/ayowitty\/sets\/wings\">#wings<\/a><\/i> by producer ayowitty! and <i><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/mp3beige\/sets\/untitledmp3\">UNTITLED.MP3<\/a><\/i> by beige, both of which feel distinct from the SoundCloud indie scene at large.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Here\u2019s a crash course on SoundCloud indie in six albums, featuring Ebril\u2019s gauzy <i>In Copula<\/i>, bunii\u2019s mathrock breakout <i>bastard<\/i>, aeter\u2019s auteurist <i>SKIN TURNS RED<\/i>, yiru\u2019s fuckboy magnum opus <i>physis<\/i>, kiheir\u2019s dreamy <i>aries<\/i>, and overtonight\u2019s chaotically pitch-shifted <i>it\u2019s over tonight<\/i>.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-278757\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<h5 class=\"headline\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"yiru_%E2%80%94_physis\"><\/span>\n        yiru \u2014 <i>physis<\/i><br \/>\n      <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            19-year-old yiru merges alt-rock and R&amp;B on his 2025 album <i>physis<\/i>, which reminds me more than a little of Brent Faiyaz. Part of that might be because the literal first words the Broward County artist sings on the album are, \u201cI wish that I could tell you how it feels to be faithful,\u201d but yiru\u2019s commitment to sonic worldbuilding goesdeep. The acoustic guitars and fat basslines on this album feel sumptuous, and yiru\u2019s careful vocals are equally tender, even when he\u2019s on his worst behavior. It\u2019s all in service of his razor-sharp pen, which alternately traces out complex vignettes and unexpected metaphors whether he\u2019s covering SZA or talking to God.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-278758\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/playlists\/soundcloud%253Aplaylists%253A2052864993&amp;color=%23cf0767&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/yiru-been\" title=\"yiru\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\">yiru<\/a> \u00b7 <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/yiru-been\/sets\/physis\" title=\"physis\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\">physis<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-278759\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<h5 class=\"headline\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ebril_%E2%80%94_In_Copula\"><\/span>\n        Ebril \u2014 <i>In Copula<\/i><br \/>\n      <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            Iraqi-Canadian bedroom musician Ebril released her sophomore album <i>In Copula<\/i> last January. By the summertime, she\u2019d gone viral as hell, eventually racking up a billion views on TikTok and more than 10 million streams for album intro \u201cStranger In You.\u201d That song is driven by an undulating acoustic guitar and Ebril\u2019s light-touch singing, but much of <i>In Copula<\/i> is either more ambient or more twee than her breakout, laced with choral stacks and lofi field recordings. The exceptions are album centerpieces \u201cAnticipate Heartbreak\u201d and \u201cSummer Night Joori,\u201d which are decidedly more upbeat. It\u2019s easy to imagine Ebril jamming out on stage to the former\u2019s punky riffs, and her twinkling vocals on \u201cJoori\u201d feel like a funhouse mirror reflection of surfrock and synthpop.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-278760\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 472px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1572556736\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=63b2cc\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ebril.bandcamp.com\/album\/in-copula\">In Copula by Ebril<\/a><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-278761\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<h5 class=\"headline\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"kiheir_%E2%80%94_aries\"><\/span>\n        kiheir \u2014 <i>aries<\/i><br \/>\n      <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            The starry-eyed ambience on kiheir\u2019s December album <i>aries<\/i> feels like a cloud of Delta-8 vapesmoke left behind by Mk.gee.
