A good indie playlist?

Indie Pop Playlist

  • I'd like to put together a collection of new (i.e., unfamiliar) music for a friend who gravitates toward the more wistful moments of Belle and Sebastian, James, et al - Brit indie pop that often falls under the dubious label "twee." Any recommendations?

  • Answer:

    http://www.subpop.com/scripts/main/bands_page.php?id=326. Maybe not new ... but British, indie and certainly twee. Also, http://www.kpunk.com/softies/. Not new, not British, but indie and twee-er than twee.

You must check out Cessna. They are so great, and pitifully unknown. There are mp3s on the record label http://www.radiokhartoum.com/303.htm.

All good suggestions above. I would add: http://www.saturdaylooksgoodtome.com/ http://www.myteenagestride.com/ and The Stars, (can't find site) whose cover of "This Charming Man" is pure trippy twee goodness!

SLGTM's "http://www.polyvinylrecords.com/media/prc-073-05.mp3" (mp3 link) is frickin' delicious.

How could I not mention http://www.popfloor.com/tvps/? Television Personalities kind of started the whole indie-twee thing. Some more good recommendations on their site.

How has nobody mentione Snow Patrol. I'd also throw TV on the Radio into the mix for a bit of edgy-twee. And Quartermass- not everyone loves The Shins. Talk about an overrated band. Oh! Iron and Wine and the Postal Service!
