"airy" bands

[sr800bkBassist]

i really like Minus the Bear and Chin Up Chin Up. just the way they have that really free, airy kind of sound. can anyone recommend bands like that? like, similar to those two?

thanks, PEACE.

[Not_bajs]

i havent heard them but Sigur Ros sounds airy.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

I know what you're talking about

Appleseed Cast - Low Level Owl

[colleague]

any post-rock band sounds airy I guess

[Kayetan]

The Halo Benders

[bleep_bloop]

i cant seem to find any chin up chin up, does anyone ahve any that they could send to me?

[mr_jackalope]

Well Chin Up Chin Up tend to mimic Wolf Parade pretty heavily, so try them if you somehow haven't before.

[bleep_bloop]

i used to have a cd of theirs, but i had to clear my hard drive so i lost it, so yeah ive heard them before

[RedMorningLight]

I kinda use the word 'dreamy' as well to describe what your saying, but that does sound abit gay. Erm, this is such a standard recommendation but back in the day I really digged Bloc Party's first record for those kinda reasons, I see some parrallels between them and MTB. I also really dig the Dandy Warhols for their dreamyness, they are so chilled on ...The Dandy Warhols Come Down, but maybe that isn't what you're after.

[pikester]

Air.

[sgrevs]

Sigur Ros
Lamb
Bjork maybe?
trip-hoppy stuff would be good

[perriwinkle]

Air.

hahah I KNEW someone was goign to do this

they are a very amply titled band though so if you want an airy sound, Air is a good place to go. but anyways i think you would like Stereolab and Ms John Soda

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I am also interested in this band.

[Geography]

maps and atlases

[perriwinkle]

aptly*

ooooooooooooooops

[YDload]

if you like MTB check out The Jazz June. i dont know if they match the "airy" quality of Minus but they do have that "cool nighttime summer urban" feeling i suppose.

i always thought The Shins were really airy but thats in a derogatory sense. theyre too fluffy like marshmallows

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Jazz June sound like the Get Up Kids to me idk

they're named after a pretty great poem though!

[team_racket]

I know what you're talking about

Appleseed Cast - Low Level Owl

hell yeah. mare vitalis too.

[bleep_bloop]

if someone can give chin up chin up to me via soulseek or aim i will rep them.

[perriwinkle]

remember that part in Lullabye thats like

CHIIN UP CHIIN UP CHIIN UP CHIIN UP YAAAAA

[sr800bkBassist]

i cant seem to find any chin up chin up, does anyone ahve any that they could send to me?

i had "We Should Have Never Lived Like We Were Skyscrapers" on my computer, but i delete CD's after burning them because i can hardly hold anything.
search them on myspace, the song "Why is my Sleeping Bag a Ghetto Muppet" is amazing.


EDIT: thanks for all the suggestions guys! i've heard air, sigur ros, bjork, and all that before, of course, but as for everything else i'm gonna attack soulseek for all this when i get home tonight.

[perriwinkle]

here ill be more specific with my suggestsions

for Stereolab get Margerine Eclipse

and with Ms John Soda get No P or D

[YDload]

Jazz June sound like the Get Up Kids to me idk

they're named after a pretty great poem though!

their music is a bit more complicated than TGUK though

[ATM]

Get the album The Egg by a band called Shiner.

Let me know what you think.

[Sound Boy]

American Football is like an acoustic minus the bear.

Controlling the Famous
burning airlines
pinback
Q and not U
the hush sound

nothing is good as MTB though

[Happymeal]

The Dismemberment Plan - Change

[bleep_bloop]

Moss is pretty airy

[YDload]

The Dismemberment Plan - Change

oh yeah of course. THIS is definitely for MTB fans, you can tell it was a major influence on the band

[bleep_bloop]

sunn o)))

[ATM]

The Dismemberment Plan - Change

Yea, I was going to suggest that one as well. They are playing 2 shows in my area soon and they sold out so damn fast.

they're playing here in may too, but it's a 21+ :(

[fugged]

my bloody valentine all the way.. they're like alternative airy?
and also very good to listen to while expanding your mind.. if you're into that kind of thing.

[Ganondorf]

I got the Sigur Ros album ''()'', it's alright but it's so boring.

i always considered them more fuzzy than airy. fuzz weighs more than air

[fugged]

tru

[Wanker]

Yndi Halda & Mono (Japan) both have an 'airy' quality to them.

[sweboy]

I'm thinking Animal Collective.

[RedMorningLight]

Explosions In The Sky on The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place

Is there anyone that thinks Yndi Halda is ****? Am I really alone?
