Recent Indie Debut Classics
After nearly a decade of prosperity, the indie music scene has shown no signs of letting up. Intelligent rock music is in, and the number of fans seems to be growing. The last two years have brought us an onslaught of new bands, and I'd like to discuss some of the finest debuts during this span.
This article will only focus on three of the best debuts during this period, which will naturally be very challenging. There's been such a great amount of new music during these last two years, and many exceptional new bands will be left out of this conversation.
The three articles that I choose to discuss are all wonderfully crafted albums that all music lovers should listen to. If you've never heard of these bands, you're in for a treat as soon as you do.
I can remember the first time I heard For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver. This was one of those albums that made an immediate impact when I first heard it, and well over a year later I'm still listening to this album regularly.
They say that he wrote this isolated in a cabin through the course of the winter, and the loneliness and isolation genuinely shows in his music.
The next album in my trio of newer debut classics is the first release by Vampire Weekend, a New York band with influences that span the world. One of the most unique blends of music I've ever heard, the band successfully mends styles that you never thought could go well together.
The final album on my list my very well be my favorite. If you're already immersed in the indie world, there's a very good chance that you've already heard last year's debut album by Fleet Foxes. This was one of the most well received albums of 2008.
These are all instant classics in my mind, and worthy of repeated listens.
