2000s indie rock • Page 5

Their first two albums are nearly perfect for me and their third is close behind (although it has some filler).

 

Ive tried a bunch of times, it just never seems to click. its been a while though, maybe i should give them a shot again.

 

Yea they're definitely worth another shot. Some of my favorite songs are the opening songs on the first three albums:
Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels), Black Mirror, and The Suburbs. All very different songs, but they evoke the themes and the moods of each album so well.

 

Neighborhood 1 is like the only song im like "yeah i love this"... then after that im always like "meh"

 

It's definitely a grower but that's the song that got me interested to spend more time with it. I saw you listed the Moon & Antarctica so you might like the song Neighborhood #3 (Power Out), it reminds me a lot of Paper Thin Walls by Modest Mouse with the rhythm of the vocals and guitar.

 

No love for Give Up by The Postal Service? That album is an absolute classic.

Also surprised by the lack of mentions of Sufjan Stevens and Tegan & Sara.

 

If you guys like indie rock specifically...

 

Paper Rival - "Dialog" anyone?

 

yessss

 

It's a lot harder to find indie bands from the 2000s that I enjoy than it is with the 90s. Hopefully this thread will be conducive to that

 

This thread feels like home. I might just sleep here tonight.

 

Perhaps there's no love for it because they don't have a self-titled album

 

Shit, touche. I'm dumb. Must've had a brainfart when i typed that.

 

Y'know, honestly, I've never given any Phil's work a real focused listen. He's one of the vocalist in my band's favorite songwriters, so we've listened to The Microphones a few times on the road... Usually it just ends up getting talked over. I've loved this song for a while though, and have meant to really give this album in particular a proper listen in headphones.

 

Haha no you're not I'm just playin'. I admittedly never listened to that album until this year, but it's for sure a good one

 

Listen to mount erie's latest album

 

this is probably in my top 3 songs of all time

 

Yeah definitely listen to that album. So many amazing songs on it.

 

Interpol
Grizzly Bear (Shields is an absolute masterpiece of songwriting and production)
Flaming Lips
Fleet Foxes

immediately come to mind

Franz Ferdinand kindof has some incredibly infectious riffs even if they often broadly fail to appeal

 

Have we said Illinois? I feel like Illinois deserves mentioning

 

you self promoting piece of shit

 

interpol's first record is way way way way way up there

 

the National is one of those bands that I should love in theory, but in practice, bores me to death

I guess Alligator is fine and the first Boxer songs...

 

Have you tried High Violet and Trouble Will Find Me?
