budgie 06.27.18	i shall be checking these
foxblood 06.27.18	Cool, I hope you find something you like dude.
Hawks 06.27.18	Niiiice haven’t heard any of these def gonna jam. m/
Deathconscious 06.27.18	damn, idk where to start.
foxblood 06.27.18	adolf check 35 You might dig it. hawks for some reason I think you'd like 32 or 22.
Papa Universe 06.27.18	Well, this looks promising.
Hawks 06.27.18	Jamming 22 now.
foxblood 06.27.18	siick. yeah it might be worth rating bump, I haven't heard it in a few years. .
foxblood 06.27.18	thanks papa
Hawks 06.27.18	Damn this is super weird but I dig it.
foxblood 06.27.18	nice dude! yeah several of these are weird. I'm so glad you're digging it. I used to listen to that album, especially 2 sisters, pretty often because I bought it when I was first getting into freak folk kinda stuff.
Hawks 06.27.18	It reminds me of Bon Iver on shrooms.
foxblood 06.27.18	yeah it's pretty sick, it sounds a little ritualistic but Americana too.
Deathconscious 06.27.18	35 was actually one that caught my attention. along with Rubik, The Robot Ate Me, Half-Handed Cloud, Califone, Beep Beep, and The Skygreen Leopards. gonna check all of em.
Sinternet 06.27.18	man Say Hi is great and Wishes and the Glitch is a fantastic album
foxblood 06.27.18	@ Adolf cool, 35 is pretty nice imo, it's got this slow hard hitting fiery sound. Rubik are really cool and I always considered that album to be a pleasant find, they should've been way bigger. First track is amazing on this haha. Robot Ate Me doesn't seem to be everybody's thing but that artists needs more fans he's pretty original I think. Half-hounded Cloud is similar in some ways, it's way more optimistic bright indie pop with electro and folk. Kinda religious but still has weird lyrics. Beep Beep have an almost grind element to them, it's cool. Skygreen are very weird spaced out psych folk. agreed sin The Wishes And The Glitch was good.
SandwichBubble 06.27.18	My heart melted just looking at some of these names and descriptions, mission accomplished ❤ I'll definitely be checking 51 (and everything else natch)
cold 06.27.18	Oh man, I used to jam Beep Beep all the time back in the early 2000's. I had actually forgotten all about them haha
Mentasm 06.27.18	man that's a lot of stuff which one should I get based on your recommendation? also, feature this shit
Winesburgohio 06.27.18	good list babe!!!! i fuck with parenthetical girls heaps
cold 06.27.18	Anyone remember the band Stomacher? Some of my favorite shit and no one seems to remember them.
Lucman 06.27.18	Saving this list. Whoa.
foxblood 06.27.18	cool sandwich hope you find more stuff you like, I know you already like a lot of this. Mentasm check 48! I think you will dig. coldheaven, that's awesome I've never known someone that has heard of beep beep before:0 thanks Winesburgohio & Lucman
Papa Universe 06.27.18	Ganglians was a delight.
foxblood 06.27.18	nice dude! I'm glad you liked it. it's a decent little noisy oddity
JustJoe. 06.27.18	Feature?
Papa Universe 06.27.18	Feature? [2]
cold 06.27.18	“coldheaven, that's awesome I've never known someone that has heard of beep beep before:0” I remember they were around during the hayday of Saddle Creek records. I can’t remember if they were on that label or not, regardless that label had a lot of amazing bands that just faded out. Tilly And The Wall, Now It’s Overhead, Sorry About Dresden, Azure Ray, etc etc.
foxblood 06.27.18	I just added Tilly And The Wall right before seeing your comment lol! Funny coincidence. Saddle Creek had some great stuff.
cold 06.27.18	Oh man, I LOVEEEEE “Wild Like Children”. I got lucky enough to see them tour that on the Bright Eyes “I’m Wide Awake It’s Morning” tour, that was such a great show. I think Coco Rosie played that show too.
foxblood 06.27.18	sounds like an awesome show! great period for all of those artists
Sowing 06.27.18	bookmarked

foxblood 06.27.18	thanks for the feature! I appreciate it. papa, I added Pia Fraus but I need to check the rest, idk them. thanks guys, hope you can find something you like. thanks con and sowing
Conmaniac 06.27.18	I miss the band name Say Hi To Your Mom so much
foxblood 06.27.18	yeah it's wayy better than just Say Hi, great name
Papa Universe 06.27.18	just realised that's not the same band as Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (whose first album is also decent)
cold 06.27.18	@sandwich that’s a great album, did you dig The New Romance?
cold 06.27.18	Also, can you feature something forever because this list deserves that
SandwichBubble 06.27.18	Never was too hot on new romance, but it's got some good songs on it. Matador curse is real
JustJoe. 06.27.18	Feature!
klap 06.27.18	Some good stuff here, that elected album is an all time classic for me. Hits that elliott smith sweet spot. Was just listening to born ruffians yesterday bc they have a new one out. French kicks, handsome furs, tilly and the Wall, say hi etc all legit
JustJoe. 06.27.18	48 is good stuff, yeah.
klap 06.27.18	Rosebuds are solid too. I would add off the top of my head Ambulance Ltd - LP The stills - without feathers Brendan benson - lapalco, any of his middle stuff Shout out louds - our ill wills Voxtrot - raises by wolves
foxblood 06.27.18	Thanks coldheaven:) Yeah The Elected are very overlooked, they're great. Thanks Klap. Yes 48 is something most of you guys would like imo.
foxblood 06.27.18	I used to love Howl Howl Gaff Gaff, added that klap
dbizzles 06.27.18	I can't speak on hardly any on these, but I really like the Mirah album.
foxblood 06.27.18	Some of u guys might like 55, it's prob the only ukulele-centric album I can think of that I like
klap 06.27.18	Howl howl gaff gaff is great. the Swedes >>>>
foxblood 06.27.18	our ill wills was really good too I just listened to it less. Swedes know how to pop
foxblood 06.27.18	check 58 dudes, I just remembered that one it's great. dang I forgot alll about Elf Power, I used to love that album.
foxblood 06.28.18	Added 10 more or so.
platnum 06.28.18	Feels like I'm living in an alternate reality where 65 is considered indie
foxblood 06.28.18	idk if it's really considered 'indie', which is a really loose genre tag anyways. it's avant garde rock I guess, I just associate them with some more indie-ish bands from the time period. Same with AIDS Wolf.
brainmelter 06.28.18	nice list fox, i've only heard of like 5 of these lol. bookmarked
foxblood 06.28.18	Thanks brain, you would prob like a few of the weirder ones, pick and choose whatever strikes your fancy. You might like 22.
Rigma 06.28.18	great list
Drifter 06.28.18	52 is meh
foxblood 06.28.18	it's good, it was pretty popular for a minute. Thanks Rigma.
klap 06.28.18	If you’re adding dum dum girls gotta do dee dee’s hubby too. Crocodiles
foxblood 06.28.18	Good point. Crocodiles are alright, I liked Endless Flowers.
Drifter 06.28.18	Actually now that I think about it it wasn't actually bad after the first two songs. I think I have it 3.5d
Deathconscious 06.28.18	ahh yes, Menomena. they had a bit of popularity here for a little while. good band.
foxblood 06.28.18	Yeah Menomena are possibly the most popular on this list but I haven't heard them mentioned at all in a while. Friend And Foe was good too.
Lucman 06.28.18	There is so much to listen to here. Seriously, thanks for this, fox.
foxblood 06.28.18	No problem man, this kinda indie stuff was totally my jam from 2004-2008 and I've noticed a lot of it has never had a resurgence in popularity. I'm glad you can appreciate it, hope you find some things you can enjoy.
Lucman 06.28.18	Definitely. Just finished spinning Tiny Vipers. Super minimalist stuff but gorgeous all the same.
Pheromone 06.28.18	Jane on 61 is such a perfect song gd list, love this sorta thing
Snake. 06.28.18	ayyyyyyyy 45
foxblood 06.29.18	Blueberry Boat on vinyl sounds cool! Vinyls are the best. agreed pheromone Jane is great. yeah 45 is nice post-hardcore stuff, it's surprisingly good
TheWrenKing 06.29.18	o wow chad vangaalen is so underappreciated might i suggest this: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=231653 goat lo-fi noisy jesus freak folk
Chortles 06.29.18	love the list, a lot to check here. echo on vangaalen^^
Deathconscious 06.29.18	im loving Besnard Lakes, shit's transcendent.
foxblood 06.29.18	chad vangaalen is def underappreciated. Will check wren. thanks chortles. Agreed hard adolf, that album has grown on me a lot, it could even grow to a 5. It's almost shoegazey. I'm really glad you like it! the songs have satisfying builds and I like the vox. I have one of their vinyls that's signed by the band that I found at a record store once.
Deathconscious 06.29.18	yeah, everything just comes together so well. amazing songwriting, and i love the hazy production and psychedelic elements.
foxblood 06.29.18	what're you feeling rating-wise?
Hawks 06.29.18	I love this list.
foxblood 06.29.18	Thanks bro. You should check Besnard Lakes too I think you'd also like them, they've been my jam recently. anything else that you're thinking about checking?
J() Alexander 06.30.18	Mmm... Guess I'll listen to some indie music by women this weekend.
Deathconscious 06.30.18	@fox for Dark Horse, maybe a 4.5 man, its pretty fucking amazing.
foxblood 06.30.18	nice Alex. awesome, agreed it's amazing.
Papa Universe 07.04.18	so the latest The Sea and Cake album did barely anything for me, glad to hear that One Bedroom is much more pleasant on the ear and engaging.
Papa Universe 07.04.18	Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin is also bloody damn solid
foxblood 07.04.18	Yeah Sea and Cake can range from really good to boring. SSLYBY are good. Broom got constant plays after it came out, I played the cd in my car all the time. Pershing was okk still worth checking but after that I haven't heard anything else, I didn't even realize they had 4 more albums after that now.
Drifter 07.04.18	22 looks amazing Check Coyote Legs - Head Full of Hope It's only 2 songs. One of my favorite things ever
foxblood 07.06.18	added some more albums. I've seen the Coyote Legs in your ratings before drift but will check sometime.
SandwichBubble 07.06.18	putting a dollar in the "get this list to 100 entries" fund Is 93 indie? I had no idea
GmemberKills 07.06.18	gah damn. I was scrolling through this list thinking about how much of this stuff i haven't heard/looks amazing, and sure enough it's a foxblood one. seriously how do you find/jam this much music?
foxblood 07.06.18	I would def call 93 indie pop To find music I just use this site, spotify, youtube, rym, last.fm, and discogs. Sometimes I'll use blogs, I used to use them way more years ago but there're less of them now.
foxblood 07.06.18	gmember check 90
GmemberKills 07.06.18	word. I know where to find a lot of it, I just need to make myself jam more unfamiliar stuff i just checked 90 and it's great, 47 & 48 seem interesting too. I honesty don't know most of these, but I've been jamming 57 & 87 for while .
foxblood 07.06.18	cool. 47 and 48 are good, I like 48 a bit more but 47 is rated higher. Also check 4 and 41.
Drifter 07.06.18	Really like the artwork to 84
foxblood 07.06.18	84 is pretty good, it's worth checking.
SandwichBubble 11.27.18	I need to check more of these out immediately, I said I would but I've only listened to Jens (which was a great rec)
PatternsInTheIvy 11.27.18	The Oh Hellos
Observer 07.20.19	Great list man, glad I stumbled onto it. Bookmarked.
foxblood 07.20.19	thanks, I'm glad
Kompys2000 07.20.19	Commenting so I can come back when I'm not on mobile and czech summa these
Deathconscious 07.20.19	I should probably check more of these.
foxblood 07.20.19	added a couple more just to max out the number of albums
Deathconscious 07.22.19	1 basically sounds like a better version of The Postal Service.
foxblood 07.22.19	exactly! it's so overlooked
DoofDoof 07.22.19	Bookmarked
Deathconscious 07.22.19	Digging 5 hard as well.
Sowing 07.22.19	Awesome list totally bookmarking this
foxblood 07.22.19	glad you like 5 adolf, hope you find something you enjoy sowing
SandwichBubble 07.23.19	Truly a pleasure to see this beautiful list pop up in my discussions. Still essential.
foxblood 07.23.19	thanks so much xD
JohnnyoftheWell 07.23.19	bookmarked like hell
combustion07 07.23.19	Bookmarked and gonna jam hard
foxblood 07.23.19	thanks so much for all the bookmarks bros
Pikazilla 07.23.19	What kind of indie does the man who 1'd all National albums listen to? Stay tuned to find out! jk Huge props for adding short descriptions, I'm not much of an acoustic guy. Bookmarked the fuck out of this.
SandwichBubble 10.15.19	Bumping best list to say that I'll love you forever for bringing that Tap Tap album to my attention, Fox. I fucking love it a lot.
GhandhiLion 10.15.19	Six Organs Of Admittance isn't indie. It's late period Fahey folk :[
GhandhiLion 10.15.19	inb4: sandbitch says Fahey was one of the first indie musicians because indie = independent.
SandwichBubble 10.15.19	If "indie" could stop being the all-encompassing genre descriptor it's become, I could die in peace. But live on I must. And I actually don't know enough about John Fahey to back up that last claim. Indie = Independent, anything else is hogwash. Everything here is indie (I think)
SandwichBubble 10.15.19	Except lightning seeds though, pretty sure that isn't
GhandhiLion 10.15.19	Using indie to describe everything that is independent is more all-encompassing than just using it to describe a musical style. Indie mutated from being an abbreviation of independent a long time ago. No one calls Throbbing Gristle indie, but industrial records was an important indie label. Indie and alternative are not just used to lump anything that isn't mainstream into a box anymore.
unclereich 10.15.19	grandaddy-The Sophtware Slump
dbizzles 10.15.19	Sea Wolf. Damn.
SandwichBubble 10.15.19	"Indie mutated from being an abbreviation of independent a long time ago" Load of old, revisionist crap. "No one calls Throbbing Gristle indie" https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/sep/27/sound-style-spirit-what-does-indie-mean-today-music-for-misfits-story-buzzcocks-rough-trade "Independence, to me, is about having total control of your work. We’ve always kept that. When Throbbing Gristle started out, there were far fewer indie labels, but they were much more eclectic in their rosters, releasing music of very different genres. Most people have really inquisitive, eclectic minds when it comes to music, anyway. Today independent labels often specialise in genres. When you say “indie band” now, you know what that music’s going to sound like, and that’s a real shame." Just because it's okay to be wrong now doesn't mean it's right.
GhandhiLion 10.15.19	"When you say “indie band” now, you know what that music’s going to sound like, and that’s a real shame." Yes, an actual musical genre and not a shorthand descriptor.
SandwichBubble 10.15.19	Which is why it's wrong to use it as a genre, cause now the word "independent" is synonymous with a "sound." And anyone that uses that "sound" (even if they're on a major label) is called "indie." Which is wrong. It's wrong morally, it's wrong conceptually, and it's wrong by definition. Ladies and gentlemen of the audience, is this what we really want for future generations? I implore you to think differently. \|End of Debate: Part 1\| \|Intermission\|
SandwichBubble 10.15.19	Why does this happen every time? Why am I so easy to bait into a tirade? I'm gonna stop now, sorry foxblood for shitting up your list.
GhandhiLion 10.15.19	Most genre names do little to actually describe the sound. I don't think it is independent that is synonymous with a particular sound actually. It is "indie" that most people use to describe a sound. Things mutate past their original meaning. It's just the way language is.
GhandhiLion 10.15.19	pm me sucka
Uzumaki 10.15.19	Tagging for later...
foxblood 10.16.19	glad you liked Tap Tap Lanzafame sandwich, I always enjoyed that one but never knew of anyone that had heard of them. i used to listen to that a lot
SandwichBubble 10.16.19	She Doesn't Belong off that one is on constant rotation. I would like to retroactively claim that the above convo was all a ploy to get this the bumpage it rightly deserves. Totally my intention there.
GhandhiLion 10.16.19	I wouldn't know a thing about that.
SandwichBubble 10.16.19	My less tactful, label-obsessed twin was at the keyboard is all, I swear. He did have a point though, he's a pretty bright guy all things considered.
foxblood 10.16.19	65 and 95 aren't really 'indie' I just wanted them to have more exposure. indie is an evolving genre term too, it's useless sometimes. but the mid 2000's def has a sound associated with the term, Lanzaflame is a great example of that classic sound
SandwichBubble 10.16.19	Guess I just really don't like evolution :( Anyway, I've talked enough about that crap. Gonna pick one of these at random to check today.
mardin65 02.10.25	Superb list. There’s definitely some stuff on here that I need to check out
Butkuiss 02.10.25	I would do anything to be back in 2010 spinning these albums sipping soy lattes with a shawty wearing galaxy tights and one of those metal owl necklaces
Aerisavion 02.10.25	Great list, definitely some stuff I want to revisit.
