Nah I haven't, just listening to them now and they seem tidy. Pretty Shinish and remind me a bit of Gorrilaz and even a bit of Mattafix, I like it, cheers.

I'd probably say afterwards, more like Deserter's Songs/All Is Dream. I like their first two and the third probably has my favourite Mercury Rev song-Young Man's stride, but I was kinda thinking more recent to be honest.

Thanks for those. Yeah, I really should get back to using spotify, I got rid of it about three years ago when they started clamping down/limiting what you could listen to and haven't really used it since. Probably a bad idea since I've gotten a bit lazy in finding things for myself....Thanks though!

New-ish band called Alpines that I'm really enjoying at the moment. If you like acts such as Saint Saviour, Theme Park etc then you should check them out.

Good video -
Alpines 'Got Me Wrong' - AllSaints Basement Sessions - YouTube

Sexy Fi - their new album came out a few weeks ago...it was mixed by John McEntire from Tortoise/Sea and Cake/Stereolab/whoelsehasnthebeeninvolvedwith

Best tune: Keep Cooler, from when they were still playing SXSW under the name Nancy

I would recommend HAIM. Best family girl band out right now.

Last.Fm is giving me nothing I want, so.. I'm gonna try here. (I'm sick of girl bands at the moment-- unless it's 100% kick-ass)

Here's what I'm digging:
Love, love Alt-J (Thanks Vanilla!)

I'm always happy when Vampire Weekend pops up.

Dirty Projectors and Frightened Rabbit are new on my radar-- I like them quite a bit.

A few more:
Wild Beasts, The Unicorns, Cold War Kids

Can you give me anything based on the above mentioned? Or if you love these bands as much as I do, clearly we have the same tastes, so just give me a good recommedation!

Well, I did some searching around and found some stuff that I'm pretty pleased with. So pleased, that I felt obliged to share. (you may show your pleasure)

and

The Blue Angel Lounge - In Distance

I am new to this genre. I really really liked Animal colelctives Post merriweather pavilion (Is that what its caleld? lol)
I want to hear people similar to them

*called

ok fixing my typo didn't really help me too much dude hahaah XD

Another new band/album from this year that I see going hand-in-hand with Alt-J is Django Django. The album is eponymous. They don't sound alike but they're both British and have similar indie sensibilities and sort of carve their own sound. Although Django Django remind me of The Beta Band at times.

Regarding Generaltionals, their debut Con Law is their best in my opinion, I haven't been able to get into anything else they've done since. The song "Salt City" on the latest EP Lucky Numbers is good but the rest is crap IMO.

new music site
 

I've been loving this thread for reading new music suggestions over the last week.

I've been trying out putting all of my new music recommendations into a simple website, in 10 track spotify mixtapes. Just thought I'd share.

Let me know what you think, and if you find it useful for finding new music. It;s at tenjams dotcom x

Soo, anybody discover The Neighbourhood yet? I like the "I'm Sorry..." EP. They're like indie pop with some hip hop mixed in there.

Now you know never to make that mistake again.

Really like this! Lots of pop (and I love pop music of all kinds), but not too much that it gets boring.

Savages - City's Full

Does anybody have anything for me from 2012?

Pavement..

Is there anything as sunny and feelgood as them?

I think Archers of Loaf is the quintessential partner band to Pavement. And also, Sebadoh.

Thanks, I'll try them!

I like Django Django - psychedelic art pop (spotify description)-- right up my alley. Thanks.

tame impala

bon iver

purity ring

sun kil moon

toro y moi

So I need a little help from you guys. Long story short - who are the awesomest live acts out there that are: reasonably accessible, mediumishly popular, and super energetic/fun?

i mostly like melancolic stuff, like radiohead, feist, and etc. really like female vocals (more mellow), especially stuff like regina spektor, fiona apple, st vincent, cat power and bat for lashes

any ideas

My favorite ones are these:
Arcade Fire, The National, The Woods, Pyrrhura, Bombay Bicycle Club, Interpol, Tame Impala, ...

wait who was that directed at? me, or any of the above?

^Everyone

So many great undiscovered indie alt bands out there. Great thread!

I love Bombay Bicycle Club. So few people, I know, know who are they are. They just recently toured(touring?) the US, so maybe more people have had the chance to hear them.

I'm loving Vanity Box from Nottingham at the moment. Quality band with quality tracks and a solid live show. Relatively small at the moment but are getting good press and good shows. Well worth checking out.

I need some happy but alt music!
 

I really like anything from Animal Collective to Sonic Youth to honestly anything. But, I need some songs to bring up my spirits a bit when I'm down! any ideas?

if not, I'd love to just hear about more bands and stuff you love c:

Hell yeah! They rock.

I listen to Two Door Cinema Club a lot recently and this is about the same genre this is going.

Looking for new music
 

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could recommend new music to me based on what I already listen to. Here's a list of what I like
The Raincoats- first LP
Shonen Knife- Burning Farm
Meat Puppets-Meat Puppets II and Up on the Sun
The Amps, The Breeders, Toadies, Spacehog.

Have you tried Sonic Boom Six?

@songsbytoddo

I assume if you like The Meat Puppets you've also explored Violent Femmes? They have a lot in common, and they're both great.
As for The Breeders, the obvious comparisons are Pixies and The Throwing Muses because of member overlap.

julia holter is puurdy

I listen to Two Door Cinema Club too and also this great band called Wolf Gang. French Films is pretty good too.

This song should be famous, not mainstream at all....
