Band of horses - is there a ghost
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.
I've been listening to Okkervil Rivers new album 'The stage names' a lot recently and I love it... so... here are some of my favourite tracks. Hope to see them in Leeds soon too.
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.
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.
Spoon are a good solid guitar based indie band with a little extra bit of zip which seems to set them apart from the crowd. They have beeen around for a while but the new album 'Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga' is getting great reviews.
