A classic.

Portishead - Wandering Star

Bombay Bicycle Club are my favorite band and they've recently announced they're going on hiatus (of course, it has to be right after I've become a fan. I started listening to them in Jan. 2015). I almost can't bring myself to listen to them anymore because I'm so sad, so to fill the void in my heart I'm looking for something similar to them. Their music spans many genres, but I enjoy their electronic music more than their guitar-driven stuff. I've checked out Foals and The Maccabees and decided that they're too hipster for my taste. BBC sounds more real (I guess you could say wholesome) than hipster to me. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of someone who makes music more in the vein of A Different Kind of Fix or maybe even So Long, See You Tomorrow. Thank you!

I know there's a music recommendation thread, but I felt like I'd get an answer faster here.

Wow, so much good music.

I like the Danish band "The Rumour Said Fire" (they sing at english).
It's amazing music, and it helps me a lot when feeling down.
You should try check it out (:

Kula Shaker - Infinite Sun

Makes me wanna do mesculine. Dunno why.

Probably my favourite indie song ever:

The Verve - Velvet Morning

Has an opium kinda feel to it. You know. Warm. And fuzzy. Makes me wanna curl up and close these eyes.

Oh, and this, this has that same opium like sound. Like a dream. Gorgeous:

The Verve - Appalachian Springs
