“Ten Little Indies” rewrites the entire script for PoST. After losing their original bassist Gigi Laurino, in 2014, it would’ve been easy for the band to fizzle or fall into repetition. Instead, they met Daniele Maresca, and something clicked. With his touch on piano and synths, the band found a whole new texture, something more spacious, more melodic, and more emotionally layered than before. The opener “I’m Ready” hits like a nervous system firing up under pressure, jagged guitar slices, punchy drums, and a vocal delivery that’s messy in all the right ways. The magnetic urgency to it was as if the singer is half-holding back a breakdown while inviting you into it with open arms. Lyrics like “I feel the fear, I fear it but I love ya” loop like a mantra, gripping and raw. It’s an anthem for anyone spiraling but trying to hang on.

“Lift You Up,” offers a sonic exhale. With rustling guitar strums and a tender, grounding vocal line, it sounds like the emotional rescue you didn’t know you needed. The repetition of the chorus is hypnotic, like a lullaby sung to someone barely clinging to the edge. It builds and builds until you’re weightless in it.

Then there’s “Shine,” a slow-burn closer that feels like staring at the ceiling at 3 a.m. while your heart tries to make sense of itself. With gentle piano, sparse drums, and ghostly guitar plucks, it’s a gorgeous unraveling. The voice is sensual, thick with feeling, and the lyrics are surreal and intimate all at once.

With Ten Little Indies, PoST transcend. This is rebirth, resistance, and revelation wrapped into one swirling indie rock dream.
