Yes!! Imogene Heap...her vocals on Hide & Seek is soooo chilling!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs..cus Karen O. rocks! smile.gif

I love Death Cab for Cutie but ahm not sure if they're still considered indie cus they just released a major label album..

Anyone into Sigur Ros? An icelandic band with really hypnotic sounds? Hoppipola and Glosoli are so haunting smile.gif

Guided by Voices...even though they've retired, they're legacy lives on...kings of lo-fi!!!

Old stuff like those 4AD bands such as This Mortal Coil & Dead Can Dance are also my faves...

And of course Pinoi indie bands/acts such as Pedicab, Paramita, Up Dharma Down, Narda, Juan Pablo Dream, Cynthia Alexander, Mishka Adams, Daydream Cycle and UrbanDub!!!!

I really don't think a band shown almost every half hour on MTV should be considered "indie". dry.gif

As I recall, they've gone mainstream, no? So did Death Cab For Cutie..
God I loved Death Cab..but when I heard their new album I thought they could have done better.

I know they aren't. It said 'Some old stuff I listen to'
and uh..go Godspeed You Black Emperor!

death cab for cutie is still signed with barsuk record company, and barsuk is not a major label company, so theyre still considered indie.
