The Beaming Eye: 2025 Indie Synth and Postpunk Favorites (signal and pulse)

“[S]he stood for some moments gazing at the sisters, with affection beaming in one eye, and calculation shining out of the other.”
― Charles Dickens , Martin Chuzzlewit

Twenty 2025 indie synth and postpunk tracks in English, French, German, and other languages. Some lean popward, others toward artier or noisier terrain. The music is bright and alert, driven by pulse and intention, at times warm, at times distant.

This is ninth in a series of ten 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 a comment.
