What are you listening to? Indy version
« on: August 18, 2011, 01:12:21 am »
In this thread, post good indy music you are listening to.

If the artists are signed with a major label, post in another thread.

I'll start.

Machina by Daedalean Complex
Industrial Gothic Metal



You can download the whole album where this comes from on their website: http://www.daedaleancomplex.com/

Awesome! Glad to see an indie music thread. Although I feel indie doesn't really exist anymore, it's still relevant since the rule is any artist that isn't on a major label.

Lately, I haven't been able to stop listening to the new Atlas Sound album, Parallax. This is his 3rd proper album from Bradford Cox's solo project, not including the 3 volumes of bedroom demos he released last year in 2010. Bradford's wide influences can be heard through most of Atlas Sound ranging from 60's girl groups, bands like The Velvet Underground and My Bloody Valentine. Even current bands and artists like Stereolab and Bjork.

Parallax mos def has all those elements from previous Atlas Sound releases except this album has a more confident Bradford which adds to the beautiful soundscapes, melodies, and lyrics and their ability to get stuck in your head. If you haven't heard Atlas Sound before, Parallax is a great place to start and if it's your cup of tea, you can always dig into previously released albums.

but you have to know where to look for it
Is that not pretty much a trait inherently linked with indie works?

Well, I recently stumbled upon this piece:

Not strictly a song, but more a recital set to a musical background, but still...
The song is attributed to the group "Dada Dumdums", and while I have not found it listed in their portfolio, I will take the uploader's word for it. As they do not have any publishing deal according to their profiles, I think they qualify as Indie.

Well, I had already gotten as far as their profiles on various sites. And since the only songs I even saw mentioned were the ones displayed in their web player, I could not verify if this might be one of their other songs or a misattribution. Anyway, since I doubt that I will get into music far enough to be actively hunting down concerts of various bands, it is very well possible that the uploader's word is all I will ever have to know for sure, unless I could reliably compare it to the songs they published and identify the voice. Which I doubt I would be able to.

Well, it is comparable enough to lend credibility, but not certainty. Anyway, why care, it is not going to change anything and there seems to be nothing actively contradicting their involvement, so this scepticism is largely unnecessary I guess.

I am starting to get confused about "indie", actually. I mean, Nuclear Blast is not owned by a major company or a RIAA member, so it classifies itself as independent, but with their share of the Metal market, I do not really think they qualify.

Somehow postimage.org is acting up for me, so I shall use my good old host of choice, imageshack:

This is from their mySpace profile. Sounded fishy to me, too.

SME, UMG, WMG and EMI belong to a bigger business that goes beyond music distribution though, so they are not independent either.
But I think I have derailed the topic sufficiently. Better leave it to you guys to add some music to it again.

I've been listening Legendary Tigerman for a while and I chose this kind of late Christmas season song.

Nothing against Christmas anyway...
