Phill Niblock, composer and filmmaker, interested especially in textures of sound and density. He collaborated with many composers and musicians among which are also Lee Ranaldo and Thurston Moore.
YouTube - Phill Niblock - Tow By Tom (live, Hamburg, 17.04.2009)
Glenn Branca - You probably know him; dense guitar symphonies, noise and drone
YouTube - Glenn Branca: The Ascension
Windy & Carl - Not really pop or indie drone, but more like drone-like ambient/cosmic/post-rock
YouTube - Windy and Carl - 03 - Elevation
Also, I second bob's suggestion of Zoviet France and Coil, but I have to check out some of the stuff he posted too

Thanks man, yeah I know Glenn Branca, I've only got The Ascension though - pretty stunning album. Been meaning to look into Niblock.
BTW, check out Charlemagne Palestine's Schlingen-Blängen if you havent already. It's an hour-long piece based upon one single Organ note. If you can sit through the whole thing it's better than drugs.
