The Doomed Eye: 2025 Indie Rock and Art Punk Favorites (under strain)
“Poets are damned… but see with the eyes of angels.” ― Allen Ginsberg
Twenty-two 2025 indie rock and art punk tracks in English and other languages. Rough, noisy, and angular music, far from the center of attention. Shaped by the present moment, the mood is uneasy, insistent, and unresolved.
This is eighth in a series of 10 mixes of 2025 favorites. The selections reflect a personal, exploratory approach to discovery and curation, with artists and tracks that fall outside typical “best of” lists.
The mix is timestamped and the tracklist is in the first comment.

Hah hah. I think listening to Los Thuthanaka in an altered state would be pretty intense!
Beautiful selection dear Vodem 🎩💥 my favs SANAM, TEKE::TEKE, Snooper, and Olivia's World 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Nice picks!
Awesome selection dear Vodem! While preparing my next mix, it resonated with me perfectly! Among my favs : Eraser, SANAM. 🌻 Thanks for including one of my favorite bands : 💥 Maruja 💥 🚂🚃🚃🚃
So glad it resonated with you and looking forward to your next mix (and the one you posted last week looks intriguing too!). Maruja are great.

This was my son's favorite from the mix!
Such a prefect RH segueway, coming into this song
I definitely try to focus on segues when I'm threading the songs together in Garageband...
