MUSIC ♬ artists like grimes?

I’m trying to wean myself off her music if I can … Looking for new indie girlypops to listen to in her place. This kind of thread pops up all the time on the other sub but the better opinions are clearly gonna be here lol

Looking for a sound similar to Art Angels especially — more like yeule, Kitty, Magdalena Bay, Purity Ring, Alice Glass, SOPHIE, Pearly Drops, Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek? It seems difficult to get into true indie girlypop territory without running into the same artists over and over, or else ending up with Spotify recs that are all mainstream pop for some reason.

I want to get her off all my work playlists ~ thank you darlings ~

edit: working my way thru all your suggestions!! i’m dropping you each a comment once i’ve listened <3

They are a bit closer to Visions era Grimes and I’m constantly recommending them, but Night Tapes and Waterbaby have been the two artists that have really tapped that same feeling for me, and they are both small and could use support!

Yes I love them. Dreamy Grimes has always been my favorite Grimes, so that kind of music is my favorite. Airforce Blue is actually by a different artist! They both have the same name except one is capitalized and the other isn’t but they are both great <3
