Pale Young Gentlemen

Pale Young Gentlemen from Wisconsin, US have a great sound. They have a kind of Decemberists feel to them. Indie folk with a hint of classical chamber music... great lyrical story telling too.

Pale Young Gentlemen - Clap Your Hands
Pale Young Gentlemen - Saturday Night

Frightened Rabbit

Scottish band Frightened Rabbit were formed in 2004 by Scott and Grant Hutchison. The brothers from Glasgow produce great infectious indie tunes with a hint of folk... just the way we like it.

Frightened rabbit - Be less rude
Frightened Rabbit - Go Go Girls

Vampire Weekend

The excellent Vampire Weekend are from New York City and have a really individual sound. I can only describe it as a mixture of early British new wave mixed with Paul Simon and his African influences.
