Lately I've been listening to stuff like Neutral Milk Hotel, The Decemberists, Arcade Fire, Bloc Party and Death Cab for Cutie. I'm looking for more good bands like this that I might not know about or hear about. Post stuff here and I'll track it down and listen to it. PS - If you post a Youtube link to a song, do me a favor and put it in a spoiler. My browser goes a little crazy when there's too many youtube videos loading on one page.   | ||

Explosions in the sky is good. Modest mouse is good. You might hear otherwise from other people (obviously), but you at least have to check out The Moon + Antarctica, and The Lonesome Crowded West. if you want electronica type stuff, all you have to do is ask dave[9]. He posted a thread of his six favorite albums. I have two of them (trentemoller and Apparat, iirc) and they're really off the fucking hook. Menomena is good. Check out the song "wet and rusting". The Postal Service has ben Gibbard in it, and i think they're better than Deathcab. Also check out: My bloody valentine, sigur ros, Justice, M83, LCD Soundsystem, and Broken Social Scene. Those are just acouple of the bands i like that i think you might want to take a looksee into. | ||

I like explosions, and I know some Modest Mouse. I'll look into menomena, and I know Postal Service well. My Bloody Valentine is underwhelming imo, Sigur Ros is amazing and I love all their CD's, I recently downloaded a bunch of M83 based off of their Bloc Party remixes, but I don't particularly like them, and I'll look into Broken Social Scene. Thanks! | ||

I pretty much hate Death Cab, Arcade Fire (more than anybody ever), Bloc Party, etc. But, trust me, if you like them, you'll like Portugal The Man, Vetiver, and Talk Talk, Minus The Bear, etc. I freaking know too much music that I can make recommendations even if I hate it, hahaha crap. But for the first part, those bands are absolutely amazing. | ||

The Academy Is Bright Eyes (definetly look them up) The Decemberists Hard-Fi Hot Chip (afaik this is more electronic than indie) Imogen Heap (again not really all that indie imo) Keane The Killers Ladytron (again more of an electronic band) Meg and Dia The Rapture House The Red Jumpsuit Apparratus Robots in Disguise (another eletronic sounding band) Silversun Pickups Snow Patrol Spoon Taking Back Sunday The Strokes anyway, that's just music actually listed under 'indie', i'm too lazy to actually go through my music and find a list of indie music. out of that list of music i'd recommend most; Bright Eyes, The Strokes, The Killers, Snow Patrol and Silversun Pickups. | ||

The artist gets successful and successive albums are worse because they sound different, presumably because they're motivated to make more money in less time rather than actually putting out artistic content. A lot of fans want to hear the same sound over and over again, and they call it selling out when the group changes or grows ie. Green Day. | ||

Kudos to those of you who've recommended Bright Eyes, Elliott Smith, Postal Service, and Sufjan Stevens. I second those nominations, Sufjan especially. Fuck, I LOVE Sufjan. If you download nothing else I recommend, get some Sufjan. Sample: Some stuff others didn't pick up: Iron & Wine The National Wilco (is this indie? who cares) Damien Rice (I only like 10% of his stuff, but the 10% i like a lot) kimya dawson belle and sebastian andrew bird Okkervil River (definitely try these guys. my 2nd favorite band) | ||

If you want to sit in your little ivory tower and bend the definition of 'selling out' to whatever band you're currently railing against, do it in your own blog. | ||

Nah, Green Day were being labeled sell outs as soon as they moved away from the CA punk scene. That was pretty early on. Not that the people were right, but I do remember San Diego punk bitches getting their panties in a twist. | ||

Big names afaik that I haven't seen here much (one guy mentioned I think): Sufjan Stevens (I don't like him much, but he's really really popular here, maybe because he's from around here) and Iron and Wine (indie folk, even though I like neither indie nor folk that much I must say I like some Iron and Wine).... Also maybe you could try some Nickel Creek! Eliot Smith is the best imo but everyone listed him... XO is best. Thanks for reading, Kaotu | ||

Four albums that changed my life and I hope hope hope some others get into em :D. 1. Low Level Owl I & II- The Appleseed Cast 2. Turn On the Bright Lights - Interpol 3. Feels - Animal Collective 4. Seven Swans - Sufjan Stevens I'm one of those people who doesn't like to keep up with all the new music trends and gets tired of the hype sometimes. These albums are like the fun uncle you're happy to see and always brings firecrackers. A lot of the other music in this thread is great too. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||
