I hope this isn't seen as thread crapping, but I'd argue that Indie and all modern music, should just come under the umbrella of contemporary rock.
I really like most of the stuff mentioned and I'll be keeping an eye out for suggested music I am not familiar with.
Stuff that hasn't been mentioned that I really like include
Low.- these guys are brilliant Classified as Slowcore (yeah I know- its hard not to pigeonhole)
Hot Chip Hard to classify.
The Coral,
Yo Lo Tengo I am surprised these 2 incredible groups haven't been mentioned yet.
Junior Boys- Canadian electronica
Quote:
| The Clientele - This band carries a 60s Brit Pop sound. The sound is distinctively vintage sounding, not in quality but the distinctive melodies. This is a dream-like sounding pop with lots of air around the notes and melancholy vocals. Both God Save the Clientele and Strange Geometry have a very similar sound, I like them both pretty equally. |
I hated this band when i first heard them, after I had just bought their first 2 albums. I persisted in listening to them, and early one morning on a lonely train journey I realised that I actually really liked them. This was quite a revelation to me.
Kingsbury Manx have a languid style as well. I am still trying to get to like Magnetic Fields.
Psapp have a gentle feel about them too.
The Shins, Sparklehorse and Grandaddy would have have to be amongst my all time favorites.
