Artist: Michigander

Track: “Giving Up”

Released 2-7-2025

Michigander’s self-titled debut LP is a breezy, enjoyable exercise in indie-rock/indie-pop, and “Giving Up” brings the sort of stadium-sized atmosphere that an album like this occasionally needs. Its memorable beat, catchy chorus, and slick production make it the type of under-the-radar earworm that sounds like a guilty pleasure on the surface but feels like a hidden gem. Michigander was released on Friday and is available on most major streaming services.
