Animal Hero - Burn Pile (2021) [Mishawaka, IN]

Animal Hero is an alt-rock / indie rock group out of Mishawaka, IN. This album has an amateurish quality to it but with a lot of potential. Hopefully they continue making music.

Israeli Murder Planes - self-titled (2021) [Anderson, IN]

This is the self-titled release from 2019. It's a fairly straightforward post-punk / grunge album. It's nothing revolutionary. It's also name your price including free on Bandcamp.

Michelle Qureshi - Seventh Wave (2017) [Carmel, IN]

Michelle Qureshi's Seventh Wave (2017) fits somewhere in the intersection of ambient, new age, and neo-classical. This would be a fitting album for an adventure- and exploration-centric role playing game or as ethereal background music for a movie.
