Random Indie Songs to Artist

Can you correctly guess each randomly selected indie artist from one of their songs?
Source + any indie songs with 20M+ streams on Spotify
I have tried to accommodate for multiple artists using the same titles, but I've had to come to my own decisions for what counts as indie (every answer must still have 20M+ streams though, and covers are excluded)

I discovered quite a few bands from making this, good way to expand my music scope! The longest song is carpetgarden's "Can I Have a Ride Home? I'm at a Party and I Don't Know Any1", and the longest artist is "Clap Your Hands Say Yeah" who also have a very long song in "The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth".

Feel free to leave more suggestions and I'll see if I already have them or not!

Super difficult. I feel like getting 4 was an accomplishment, but then I have Lovers Rock on my current playlist and Satellite on one a few years back. Bohemian Like You is a blast from the past, too! I will have to check out the other songs you included.

Yeah I could definitely have set the minimum higher haha, I just wanted to put more and more people in though so there are quite a few that have one song at 20-40M. I also imagine (hopefully) it's quite exciting if a slightly obscure band you like pops up. Thanks for playing!

Yeah, tough quiz! Embarassed that I blanked on Death Cab for Cutie, but some of these are artists I haven't even heard of.
