Alternative rock / Indie (and sub genre) thread

Ive been on a NPR video kick recently, and while not perfect sounds quality, it isnt too bad either.

Not exactly sure where Bon Iver really belongs categorically, but this concert was too good not to share. (Choice of headphones came close to ruining the vid, but im sure I could get him to swap out to a SBAF approved set). I highly encourage you to kick back, relax, and enjoy the show.

 

The new Spoon album is excellent. The new Real Estate is good too. Highly recommend giving both a listen.

Another one for me has been Xiu Xiu - Forget. Quite a bit different from the above two albums, more electronic and experimental, but super good if you can get into it.

 

New Conor oberst album, salutations, is really good.

 

Thread is probably due for an update - please keep new music or favorites coming

Cool Johnny Cash Cover


Finially Chromatics came out with new tracks and album - one of my favs


LCD Soundsystem getting political

 

This is a good song

Just noticed that Bandcamp seems to have unlimited streaming right now during the pandemic. With that being said, The Aeroplane Over The Sea is available in its entirety.

This album needs no introduction, but if you haven't heard of it you should listen to it. The album actually sounds pretty upbeat despite the lyrical subject matter.

 

Bright Eyes actually just released a new track on Bandcamp

This track, I keep playing it...



f**k I want the 1975 to be properly angry and jam out for at least 45 minutes with a sound engineer to record everything instantaneous. Headbanger boogie guaranteed...

 

This probably is way more pop than anything alt or indie, but it's been stuck in my head here and there since I heard it on the radio a few weeks ago. TBH, I don't even think the song itself is that great or whatever blah blah modern music and production whatever blah blah - doesn't change that the song is addictive for me. Does anyone have anything similar to recommend? (edit: Already listened to the rest of the album - didn't like the other songs)

 

Beck, anyone?
