  • Post subject: Suggestions for post-2000's artists to listen to
  • Reply with quote
Through BEA i discovered a lot of cool artists like Joanna Newson (which i never heard of) and have been encouraged to listen to bands like Arcade Fire and so. I feel like i need some opinion since i like to rush into a band's discography and get to know them realy well. So im afraid to give a chance for a band that one of their albums appears on a top-something-chart , but the rest of the artist work are not nearly close to that.
If anyone has some good suggestions for post 2000's artists (if it's from 90-00 nowadays i dont care too)i will be even more grateful that i am for this community

Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Swans
Death Cab for Cutie
Burial
Sufjan Stevens
The Knife

Some different picks, some more suited to an indie taste (DCFC, Sufjan, The Knife). Try an album from each at least, I guess.

If you're into rap, I recommend Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar.

Preferably:


My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West

and


Good Kid, M.A.A.d City by Kendrick Lamar

I'm too lazy to press the quote button. Anyhow, I'm not expecting a presumably indie lover to even like the Swans, but it's always worth a try.

I guess The Dodos, The Books, Carissa's Wierd, The Antlers, The Microphones, Boris (90s too), Broken Social Scene, Animal Collective, Panda Bear, The White Stripes, Klaxons, Wilco, and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart would be more "conventional" picks more suited to post-00s indie (with a few anomolies to shape interest too).

The Killers [Pop or Rock depends on the song]
IAMX [Darkwave]
Monarchy [the most 80s throwback thing since leg warmers and pop rocks]
Twenty One Pilots [Ukulele Pop + Hip Hop. It's weird but I love it and it's not very hiphopy]

Ramona Falls [Neofolk]
Dave? [I guess Post Britpop? It's something, IDK]
