    Gotye (Does this count? I don't care.)
    Gotye's a weird one to class. I consider him indie. Though his first single from his latest album is destroying the charts worldwide, right? SO WEIRD. And great!

    He is totally indie :smile:

    Check out his earlier records and his band (beofre he was Gotye) - The Basics

    BUMP!


    I don't know which ones are officially "indie", but I love Sondre Lerche, Landon Pigg, Garfunkel and Oates, Lisa Mitchell, Agnes Obel, Lights, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, La Roux, Elliot Smith, Bright Eyes, Zee Avi, (also I'm currently on a Lana Del Rey binge, but I assume she's not 'indie").
    Also --two of my exboyfriends are great indie musicians! "Kyle Logan" is one, and "The Colourist" is the other!
    A few of my friends have great bands too: AKW, a Fine Frenzy, Dead Sara, and Juliet Simms,

    I feel so bad for the Basics. At the same time, I enjoy Wally's Gotye stuff a lot more. The Basics are kind of... basic.
    (also I'm currently on a Lana Del Rey binge, but I assume she's not 'indie").
    I think she's the antithesis of indie. I don't know, there seemed to be a lot of sketchy stuff around where she came from and how she made it. I don't think she's talented but I can't deny how fun I find her stuff. It's darn catchy.

    The Shins and Arcade Fire. They be too commercial at this point. I don't know. I don't listen to indie for indie sake like some folks. I just know that I love them and that's all that really matters.

    You are my favorite simply because you mentioned Avett.

    Ah...forgot about Elbow. They are excellent. I also like Badly Drawn Boy.

    Saw Elbow live a couple of weeks ago, for the first time in ages. Guy Garvey is made of magic. I thought my face was going to explode from grinning so hard.
