3 of the Smoothest Sax Solos in Indie Songs

A well-placed sax solo is the secret ingredient that transforms your standard song into a truly special treat. Check out these indie tunes that involve some truly stunning sax cameos.

1. “Macondo” by Way Yes

This is an example of the perfect way to end a song. The entire solo is incredibly satisfying and hits some pretty impressive high notes. With the consistent addition of atmospheric layers and a unique tropical aura, a sax solo is the perfect cherry on top of an otherwise hidden gem on Way Yes’s debut album.

2. “Kelly” by Amason

Hailing from Sweden, Amason maintains a truly unique and welcoming feel throughout the entirety of their album. This is a vibe unlike any modern indie band out there today, and when a sax solo is brought into the mix, that vibe becomes all the more intriguing. Take a listen for yourself and let us know what you think.

3. “End of July” by Paper Lions

The highlight of this Canadian rock outfit’s sophomore effort lies within this very special track hidden amongst a bevy of pop jams. It’s a slow-moving ballad that evolves into something stirring and resonant. The sax solo is arranged with purpose and fits into the song beautifully.
