In Topic: What are some lesser-known artists that you really enjoy?

16 May 2014 - 10:18 PM

My musical taste is pretty eclectic but mainly coalesces around indie, post-punk revival, rock and folk. I'm not sure how well-known they are but I'll just select a few randomly in alphabetical order. :p

 

Angus & Julia Stone - Pretty folk/acoustic music

The Black Keys - Kind of blues/indie rock

British Sea Power - Indie rock with stuffed owls

Clearlake - Indie

Damien Rice - Indie rock/folk

Editors - Indie rock/Post-punk revival

Interpol - See above

Jeff Buckley - Kind of blues/folk rock

Jim Croce - Folk rock, my current addiction along with Harry Nilsson

Lisa Hannigan - Folk/indie

Oh, Laura - Pretty Swedish indie

Ray LaMontagne - Folk/folk rock

Stellastarr - Post-punk revival

Tom McRae - Pop/rock

Traveling Wilburys - Pop/rock supergroup

The Walkmen - Post-punk revival

White Lies - Indie rock/post-punk revival

Waser has posted about half the stuff I would have so I'm having to mooch through my iPod looking for slightly less obvious things. Hrmph. Effort.

 

Beirut - Okay, pretty well known. But Postcards from Italy is one of my favourite songs. Plus there aren't enough bands with accordions and flugelhorns.

The Cribs - English indie rock. Don't know how well they're known outside the UK...

Emmy the Great - She wrote a song about dinosaur sex. And a song about 24. And that's what I want in my music.

The Field Mice - 25 year old British indie pop. They split up when I was 2 but I always put And Before the First Kiss on when I'm sleepy. Or it's raining. It's a good rainy day song.

Fionn Regan

First Aid Kit - Super well known now, but adding to Waser's pretty Swedish indie folk. :p

Johnny Flynn & the Sussex Wit - He's friends with my brother so worth a mention. *shrugs*

Larrikin Love - If you like your indie rock peppered with literary references. They only ever released 1 album.

Lightspeed Champion

The Tallest Man on Earth - Amusingly not very tall, basically Swedish Bob Dylan (hyperbole but that sort of vein)

 

This has ended up being a great deal folkier than perhaps is a true reflection of my taste but oh well. :p

 

Yesss! You guys have posted most of what I would have  :wub:

 

City and Color

The Rubens

Ball Park Music

Hungry Kids of Hungary

 

Being in a school environment full of people who don't appreciate good music makes me sad ;_;

 

@Kau 3/4 Australian bands. I had to check your profile because I couldn't remember if you were Australian or not :p Have you seen any of these guys recently?
