Re: General Music Discussion Thread (a.k.a. indie lovefest)
belle and sebastian is one of my fave bands. other awesome british indie = everything from sarah records basically - field mice, another sunny day, orchids, blueboy etc.
orange juice, the original indie pop band basic, some great tracks are falling and laughing, blueboy, wan light, intuition told me so, etc.
fosca - awesome indiepopdisco with sick witty/beautiful/funny/sad lyrics. best songs = supine on the astroturf, storytelling johnny, secret crush on third trombone, some other stuff
black tambourine - kinda proto shoegaze, lots of distortion and feedback, really really good
stockholm monsters - very underrated manchester band, kinda got pushed aside by new order etc but theyre great. very dark and postpunkish. check out party line, national pastime, your uniform and every other song basically.
also, My Favorite from new york is a great band thats currently active. check out working class jacket, homeless club kids, lets stay alive, love at absolute zero etc
the aislers set, completely sick band from san fransisco, [censored] sick eclectic sounding production, sounds like beach boys mixed with joy division mixed with phil spector mixed with the smiths, completely awesome melodies and stuff too. might take a while to digest properly tho, i dunno. my fave songs = saras song, the way to market station, been hiding, long division, mission bells, the walk...
uh theres more obviously but i probably shouldnt make it longer.
