My craving for more music needs to be filled again, but I've already listened to everything I most recently binged on multiple times.

So I need suggestions for new music to buy!

I'm more interested in modern indie/alt rock than most oth genres, but I'd be willing to give almost anything at least a listen.

Black kids, delphic, frank turner, LCD soundsystem has a new album out/soon i believe, justice 'Across the universe (live)' is always worth it if you haven't indulged, jamie t has started being plugged on the radio, the new courteneers album is apparently reasonable, bombay bicycle club, the big pink.


Most of them are indie/ indie dance if you haven't heard of them.

none only listen to old music

the big pink.
This. Their album is great - and i dont even like indie electro that much.

I'd recommend - Julian Casablancas' solo album. Indie + synthpop
Also Telegraphs - We Were Ghosts. (2008) - some noobs trying to sing indie actually get it right.
The Twilight Sad's - Forget the Night Ahead dark shoegaze
The Editors new album - dark synthpop.
White Lies' album - flawless Joy Division inspired post-punk revival.

I'll think of less dark albums later when im in a different mood. :D

Oh, one band that seems to be getting flawless reviews from critics is The Drums. They're some sort of surf rock & indie pop combination. Other than sounding different than the rest of the lot i dont see what's impressive about them. You could try their EP and see for yourself.

If your looking from something in that genre I would suggest the band
Portugal. The Man from Wasilla, Alaska. I just saw them in concert last week in Chicago :cool:. They're an indie/alt rock band at the core but with some nice subtle soul, folk, funk, blues, Southern rock, electronic influences.

White Lies' album - flawless Joy Division inspired post-punk revival.= one of my favourite albums of last year, you say Joy Division but i can also hear heavy editors influences which i like.

I also love the direction the Editors have taken and find Papillion a very nice change of pace!

bombay bicycle club

Thats one of my favourite albums at the moment.

I like it when a band evolves and doesnt stagnate in a single style, regardless how great that style may be. Experimentation is good.

I've also had a bit of time recently for mumford and sons, not heard the entire album yet though.

I discovered Miike Snow @ Lollapalooza last year. His stuff kicks ass.

Indie + Eastern European folk music = nice

New MGMT single is getting its first play on BBC radio 1 in five minutes. Big fan of their last album so will be interesting to see where this goes.

Edit- Errrr I am really not sure about it tbh, quite a different tack to their original singles (time to pretend, kids etc) Perhaps a few more listens to will have an effect.

Must've bee some sort of worldwide thing, since I heard it on Triple J at almost the exact same time.

It felt like it would've been a solid album filler, but as the first single for a new album it's nothing special. Especially compared to Kids or Electric Feel

It appears the entire album is now available basically everywhere.

It's very much worth listening to :goodjob:

May have to indulge then to hear the changes.

Oh yes indeed, pretty much straight after that post i put the album and i listen to it on a daily basis these days! Absolutely love it.

Not so keen on the new MGMT album but still only listened a few times.

However, the xx album is very good, very chilled out.

Yeah, it's great (the xx)

But you get tired of the sound too quick...

I dunno, i've been listening to it for the past few days and after going out last night and thus being absolutely hanging today it is one of the few things that i can listen to!

Yeah, but my experience with it was just a (very good) week

Try some miscellaneous Phish.

Have you had a listen to Delphic- Acolyte? Been out for a few months now but fairly listenable to.

I don't know what you have listened to so far, but I'd recommend King Crimson. Specifically, their first album, In The Court of the Crimson King.
