| Some Indie Recs Pretty Please.
I'm looking for music that may be sonically abrasive and experimental or melodic I don't really care,I'm looking for music drenched in a sense of emotional honesty. I don't want love songs as such, more music with romanticism, of introspection and self awareness, a sense of humor, yet a great deal of sensitivity, something that can be nothing original in terms of its musical construction yet has the power to strike as if it is completely original,something lyricaly complex, any ideas? | | 1 | Love will tear us apart by Joy Divsion is in the right kind of vein | | 2 | as is Motorcycle Emptiness and Design For Life by Manic Street Preaches. | |

12.26.09 | Good choice with Joy Division. Here are some of my recommendations (not all Indie, but I think you might enjoy them nonetheless):
The Avett Brothers - Emotionalism
Bon Iver: Blood Bank
Bright Eyes: I'm Wide Awake It's Morning
Gang Gang Dance: Saint Dymphna
New Pornographers: Twin Cinema
Sufjan Stevens: Seven Swans
Titus Andronicus: Titus Andronicus
Wilco: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Let me know what you think of these. Also, listen to the track "Slow Motion" by Third Eye Blind.
