Downer Indie rock.


Great to listen to when you're down, feels like someone is beside you feeling as shitty as you are

Is Arcade Fire still considered indie? The music def sounds like it, but some people consider being "independent" and not full blown mainstream a part of being indie, and Arcade Fire is def full blown mainstream. Either way, I like them a lot.

Indie is kind of defined as a kind of alt/rock, so yeah I guess they fit, while not being "true" indie I guess.

They're still great though.

Indie is about as descriptive and defined as alternative. I know it's commonly used and I sometimes describe a band as indie pop or indie rock, but it's not a very informative label. Is chamber pop or fey folk "indie"? What about math rock or electropop?

Bat For Lashes has a new album out, it's pretty nice.

I only like one indie band : it's called The Antlers and I listened to two albums of theirs - Hospice (2009) and Burst Apart (2011); the music has a post-rock influence as well. Highly recommended!

Hospice is great, but I wasn't crazy about Burst Apart.

I guess The Smiths were Indie?

If so, I like them a lot

This thing is dead...

1. July Talk
2. We Are Monroe
3. Half Moon Run
4. Blue Stones
5. The Beaches
6. The Franklin Electric
7. Patrick Watson
8. Islands
