Jackie and Wilson by Hozier sounds like a fun upbeat song until you clock in just how lost and in pain the narrator is. Similarly, his song Cherry Wine sounds like a love song but is anything but.

Starsailor. Fantastic underrated band. Not sure if they are Indie but have a Radiohead vibe.

Pernice Brothers have a bunch of them, lately “Newport News” has been my jam.

Foster The People Pumped Up Kicks is one of the saddest songs of all time, everyone thinks it’s a happy indie summer song
