I like music that has many layers, like symphony music.
Florence and the machine i think would be a good example.
Most things with violins, tiny bells, and/or Big drums id like as long as the singing isn't too bad. I like voices to harmonize if there is more than one singer.
If anyone has any recommendations they would be much appreciated.
If you also want to look at other music i like here is my LastFM username

A Whisper in the Noise would be a GREAT band for you to try.

Alright, this request might be vague, but... maybe you guys can help me. I've been neglecting indie a while and I really need to start listening to it more. If you guys have a suggestion for a REALLY great album, then that would be great. I prefer something with meaning and a bit of experimental sound isn't a bad thing either. - Thanks

Thank you for your suggestion, but I don't see what's so great about it. I can see where why Dotoar believes indie is a real genre and has an "indie sound" because this definitely sounds like a typical indie band. Sorry if this sounds a bit mean because it's not my intention. I really do appreciate the suggestion though (considering you're the only one who responded to my post).

Wowz. Sebadoh are the creme de la creme when it comes to 90s Indie. Each to their own though.

Eh, I love Dinosaur Jr. and didn't really care for Bakesale either. The cream of the crop from 90s indie for me are Slanted & Enchanted, Lonesome Crowded West, and Keep It Like A Secret...
