I would mention though, on topic, that indie folk is always going to box themselves into a corner. With the exception of Devenda Bandhart, I think everyone wants to be the love child of Nike Drake and Paul Simon even if that isn't immediatly apparent.

But indie is not subject to folk alone, and when it does get electronic it is, as someone pointed out in the original thread, some of the best music out there.
let's not get ahead of ourselves.

if you're referring to bands like Caribou/Manitoba, then yes. i don't know if i've seen any more than two or three good bands to come out of that movement.
