My Bloody Valentine is mind blowing Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti is also very very good, the most recent album is simply amazing Other great bands/musicians: Owen Pallett, Broken Social Scene, Animal Collective, Pixies, Sigur Rós, The Mountain Goats, The Radio Dept, Yeasayer (though I feel their live show is like 10 times better than the recorded music). I mean, some of those are "mainstream" indie bands, I feel that one of the greatest things of indie music is to go and search new raw stuff, so while those bands are great to chill and get into the scene, it's even better to go into the internet searching for new stuff. EDIT: Oh, and also, try checking out some chillwaveish bands, like Neon Indian, Memory Tapes and Small Black | ||

I'm bad at calling genres, and indie is super broad, but gregory and the hawk, elliott smith and death cab are pretty solid choices imoimo. I think i have some indie techno kind of stuff somewhere, but i can't really remember what. | ||

1. If I'm playing SC or driving my car, i like to listen to some sort of 'indietronica', usually I put it on a Crystal Castles or Passion Pit pandora station. Say what you will, but pandora does a decent job of matching similar music for the most part. (check out these guys if you're fans of either of these bands, both very good songs that you probably haven't heard, but that are worthy of the repeat button) 2. For easy listening to just chill I like a variety from Band of Horses, Sea Wolf, and Bright Eyes to The XX, Phoenix, and Stars. 3. Hell, sometimes something alters my chemistry and I just wanna bob my head to some dubstep or rap ie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egwRPIQycPc | ||

My two cents: You should check out Dark Was The Night, a compilation album with a lot of the artists you mentioned and more; it's a good way to get a taste of a lot of similar indie bands. Also, pick up Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix by Phoenix, The Age of Adz by Sufjan Stevens, and In Ghost Colours by Cut Copy. | ||

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tychozorente It's from Omar Rodriguez who is the guitarist for The Mars Volta. Whether or not you are into TMV (they have been trash for a few years now), you should check out this album and any of his other 18 solo releases because they have a ton of range. Some siiick stuff. | ||

Pitchfork used to be around for years (since 1995) but they were nowhere near as popular as they are now. I think it's because they were in the right place at the right time, as the hipster indie culture took flight with converse shoes, american apparel hoodies, fixed gear bicycles, and 70s era puffy ski vests from goodwill. The problem with pitchfork is that they can be a kingmaker and I'm not sure that's such a good thing. Also, I have to say that they are far too liberal with their 10.0 review ratings. To me, a 10.0 should be a timeless masterpiece, one for the history books, such as Miles Davis "Kind of Blue." It shouldn't be just the "album of the year." | ||

It sounds like the instruments are coming from every which direction and it's absolutely beautiful. Along the lines of Godspeed You Black Emperor!, Mogwai, and Matt Pond PA, there is Rachel's. They have a more classical and minimalist approach, with strings and piano. I saw them play at The Echo in Los Angeles, and it was among the best shows I been to in my life. They set up a projector to play short videos or slideshows that went with their music. Overall, a fantastic band that should be more popular than they are. | ||
