Kinda sucks that they broke up

It's been too long since I've posted stuff in here, so I promise to start occasionally hitting this thread up with some new stuff (y).

What better way to kickstart such an occasion with a single off of Sufjan Stevens' new album "Carrie and Lowell"? This song is beautiful, and the transition in the middle of the song is absolutely incredible to me--both stylistically and the way in which it is executed.

I've been hearing a lot of good things about this new album, and I've heard the first couple songs and love it. I look forward to hearing the rest. I'll probably put out some older Sufjan stuff too since I've gotten into him not too long ago (after knowing I should have for over a year).

Not indie, but definitely alternative. Either way, worth checking out as I'm delighted to have started listening to him recently.

Nice

I'm trying to get into some softer, more funkier stuff lately, my entire teenage years has been too much hard hip hop and p*ssy money weed Laughing

Thing is though, there's so much to try out I don't know where to start. Friend of mine also recommended a few indie bands to me the other day, think they are Years and Years, Birdie and Paramour, anyway, haven't gotten around to them yet, which is exactly my point. I have lots of time on my hand atm but I still don't get the chance/time to listen to any of it Laughing

A new song by St. Vincent recently well worth checking out.

Another Sufjan song worth checking out, from a decade ago on his critically acclaimed album (also worth checking out) Illinois

This is an interesting live version of this song by Jose Gonzalez. Not sure if I like it more than the studio version...I think I do. The live aspect and his voice are just brilliant, more heartwarming (and perhaps heartbreaking) than the studio version.

He did this live at the concert last night (went to see him, highly recommend, he was fantastic)

by CBarca Sat Apr 25, 2015 11:47 pm

A friend showed me this song--very good song. Slightly different than the stuff I usually post but still low tempo kind of more mellow stuff. I really like it.

by Juveman17 Sun Apr 26, 2015 7:54 am

This song has a really catchy chorus, hope you guys enjoy

by Juveman17 Sun Apr 26, 2015 8:05 am

Also, here is a song from a band at my school. They recently opened at a concert we had this weekend.

Singer is Norwegian Proud

FKA Twigs - Two Weeks:

Cannot get enough of this song right now. The rest of her stuff is well worth checking out too..

FKA Twigs - M3LL155X:

She's definitely out there and not for everyone, but I've just heard about her a little bit ago and I'm quite impressed.

by CBarca Wed Oct 28, 2015 5:28 am

Jeff Buckley - Lilac Wine:

Not indie obviously but wow...what an incredible voice. Jeff Buckley is an insane singer. Had this song stuck in my head during my chemistry exam and it did wonders for calming me down. Beautiful, simple song.

by CBarca Thu Nov 05, 2015 10:51 pm

The Milk Carton Kids - Shooting Shadows:

Saw them in concert two days ago. Amazing show, and they have the best banter.

by Pedram Sat Nov 14, 2015 10:39 pm

Poets of the Fall, a very underrated band from Finland. those who have played Alan Wake and Max Payne 2 should know them.

by Thimmy Sat Nov 21, 2015 5:33 am

Team me are an indie band from Elverum, Norway. They make upbeat, pop-rock music Very Happy

I have to highly recommend this guy. He has such a great voice, and the instrumentals complement so well. He's got it all for him from the voice to the sound that he puts out to make it mainstream. I wouldn't be surprised if he drops an album, gets some publicity and ends up hitting mainstream success on the next album. It's possible he hits up some great success on his debut album if he makes a good enough album tbh.

He's certainly talented. Saw him live opening for Hey Rosetta! and was very impressed. Didn't know who he was at the time. Anyway, this is Kevin Garrett.
