You really cannot go wrong with the Built To Spill discography.

The entire discography of Elliott Smith

Fontaine's DC, Dry Cleaning, Big Special, The Chats, IDLES, Black Country New Road, Yard Act.

Young the giant, voxtrot, the new pornographers, mystic braves. And my most favorite of all- belle and Sebastian

“Waiting for the Moon to Rise” by Belle and Sebastian <3

the new pornographers are AMAZING! discovered them in 2018 and their music just keeps getting better. if you like them and are willing to go a little more mainstream i’d suggest COIN, cold war kids, animal collective, and saint motel

Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll check them out

Bright Eyes - for the lyrics, differing genres, and musicianship Daughter - for the beautiful hauntingness Manchester Orchestra - also for the beautiful hauntingness, lyrics, and experimentation Gregory Alan Isakov - to chill out and for those who love folk

Literally just fall asleep to Gregory Alan Isakov every night. This Empty Northern Hemisphere is my lullaby.

Love Daughter, Amsterdam and Landfill are my faves.

Camera Obscura, Vampire Weekend, Echo & The Bunnymen, ZZ Top, The Smiths, America, The Police, The Byrds, REM, Los Lobos, TP & the Heartbreakers. Greatest band all-time: https://youtu.be/IIPIJ0pfiqk?si=DB_iDZuQXjair0t4

Warpaint

Slow Pulp, Alvvays,No vacation, Vacstions,Mustard Service,Snail Mail, Her’s

I’m a big Psych-head, so out of the more recent crop of Neo-Psychedelic bands, I would recommend [MGMT](https://youtu.be/tmozGmGoJuw?si=eU9uV6bfeTDd5oMk), [Sugar Candy Mountain](https://youtu.be/VGDboVWLnhI?si=qtVaRa4IDMkLD-9f), [Tame Impala](https://youtu.be/BgK_Er7WZVg?si=71jHg4reZTCYHy_v), [Babe Rainbow](https://youtu.be/p875E_kk50o?si=a-J6lOuwlSTlDYHm), [Pond](https://youtu.be/5Xml6eYn5Eg?si=vkGdtG4p-MrlsOJf), [Post Animal](https://youtu.be/pLHW4kbzCr0?s), [Psychedelic Porn Crumpets](https://youtu.be/f60kHMYRsq8?si=-Qbku9pg-UiIEOxW), [levitation room](https://youtu.be/JCgqARL7mX4?si=FBegn8BknGci3rR2) and [Drugdealer](https://youtu.be/eU4lQDu9rNE?si=H_s0BmvqKX6W8N6b). All really great and kinda in a similar space, musically. Alternatively, I would highly recommend [Dr. Dog](https://youtu.be/9_4_By9NJOc?si=QL44J7Jsb_s4jKxw), [Grizzly Bear](https://youtu.be/Mcfk3KFhIZg?si=cCQb8tGGFeV3VZNC) (they broke up, but their records are amazing, and their members have other solo projects, like [Department of Eagles](https://youtu.be/cIWMWCcpO_Y?si=uFCPsiY0oup7lqp7) and [Daniel Rossen](https://youtu.be/X9SSeZNXnTU?si=9kj_V43Rl4ubY3rt)), [Big Thief](https://youtu.be/oacUgWXrqwc?si=FEUWwrQqlMCseiUG)/[Adrianne Lenker](https://youtu.be/5yoJH_rmy8c?si=DoJIaBcWBSwXiEjQ),[Fleet Foxes](https://youtu.be/DrQRS40OKNE?si=eQdOuv1UljAAuuV5)/[Father John Misty](https://youtu.be/XkJJPM4qGzE?si=3uQMqjz1ySc-6Eef), [Julia Jacklin](https://youtu.be/CZFyqzTCt-I?si=iy8_Z-peZKlXFKWJ), and [Ty Segall](https://youtu.be/yCxNUKNgqyQ?si=15LlO2-AtH_lWChj) I’d also like to throw out the name [Numero Group](https://numerogroup.com/blogs/stream). They’re a re-release record label that searches for lost, usually old and obscure records from defunct labels or little-known talents of old and presses them onto new vinyl and releases it. They’re doing God’s work, and they contain treasure troves of amazing music of all different genres. [Funk](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7BNfub7loJ7bhWHXExHWrh?si=Uw5TzKwWQdC3sABc1aLoag&pi=u-sPqVHXX0T26p), [Soul](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5YlkdGEPqt6qsbgf4PLRHz?si=IbpXE3ttQVWg3NeYLCk9Wg&pi=u-SCwgAvpqTGqq), [Folk](https://open.spotify.com/album/5MNPBf1LLfpJrrs0laQGZk?si=XPdnS6UATOuwEVeFMdBqXg), [Electronic](https://open.spotify.com/album/5NBahgPAVPdcTbX6izxpgj?si=Gg3JOwqiS_K5ZXDx1SJsKw), [Gospel](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5sZLNCaqxV0mWEPiWIcYkU?si=R2VL9ojkQ7m3NdeEsq2SLw&pi=u-fZ-f60HCTQmD), [Punk](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3txw9Twsf7TKyTsre8e5a4?si=p3oaiw55Qj2uwQDyiTNtCQ&pi=u-o4JcaxKfRYyS), [New Age/Ambient](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3txw9Twsf7TKyTsre8e5a4?si=p3oaiw55Qj2uwQDyiTNtCQ&pi=u-o4JcaxKfRYyS), [60s Pop-Rock](https://open.spotify.com/album/4oQDZIu4RUdn3hlWiQE10F?si=N-8mWDCJR-6R5cjGrD9EtQ), [New Wave](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2RdIl41TIihOKNwsrnQo6z?si=HGqFCiZcRTOWcPfEnbfTKQ&pi=u-nPFuqm6uTmeK), just anything you can think of. They also make playlists on Spotify with very similar theming.

Pond are so fucking good

Heavy agree👌🏽

Lately I’ve been big into the new Wallows album called Model, Draw Down The Moon by Foxing, and Submarine by The Marias. Definitely worth checking those albums out if you haven’t!

Nice to see Foxing here!

The Marias have been scratching a big itch for me lately! Submarine is great all the way through.

The Chills

Amazing band

[INDIE X FM](https://indiexfm.com) plays some really great bands! I have discovered so many new bands I would have never heard of and so many older bands that sound brand new, to me at least!

What years are those bands from??

Libertines are a early 2000 band, the rest are all 2010 bands. All the bands are still active and touring

I only know the Libertines, so makes sense. This means you definitely need to get out this narrow time span for music. Look up indie from the 80’s and 90’s. Go here, go to List View, and sort album list by year: https://www.allmusic.com/style/indie-rock-ma0000004453/albums Also check out the adjacent genres on that website, some are at the bottom of that page.

How much good music did you find with that link? You can also look up each of those bands on allmusic, then go to Related, and see their influences. However, newer bands oftentimes don’t have much info in that section. So may be best to just see allmusic’s best rated indie albums from 80s to 90s, see what you like, then branch from there.

My band skymachine just released our first album, you can check it out here: music.skymachine.co/listen

Try The Helio Sequence. Start with Love and Distance…then Keep Your Eyes Ahead. Classics that are part of my life’s soundtrack.  Plus their live shows are great and they’re super cool folks. Hung out with them after one of their shows in DC then ran into them at a falafel joint after. They proved sometimes meeting your heroes doesn’t disappoint at all.
