Indie/Lounge/Shoegaze

[svimmelhet]

Artist: Jonathan Youngblood
Upload Link/File Type: hxxp://www.sendspace.com/file/ni2yiw - Two song zip file.
Similar Artists: Callupsie, Unwed Sailor
Random Facts/Etc: These are two instrumental pieces, which I like a lot better than the vocal songs of his. Still, good chill music that vaguely reminds me of instrumental Modest Mouse when I'm half asleep.

Indie/New Wave/Other

[svimmelhet]

Artist: Elliot the Letter Ostrich
Upload Link/File Type: hxxp://www.sendspace.com/file/t3f50r - Two song zip file.
Similar Artists: For these two songs, think those Halloween compilation tapes famous 80s artists did way back when. That's all you need to know.
Random Facts/Etc: Getting ready for an early Halloween party? These will surely be a hit. Plus, their music featuring things other than zombies and werewolfs is pretty awesome too.

[svimmelhet]

Aren't they awesome? I don't like their old stuff as much, but this newer Halloween themed junk makes me squee like a cat being squeezed too hard. XD I have such a weird passion for Halloween-type songs.

[svimmelhet]

I really can't stop listening to Skeleton Key. :D

Margot - "Vampires in Blue Dresses"

I like their acoustic demo stuff a lot too, but that's another song of the same album as "Skeleton Key." If you're really interested in music, I also run a music community called musicpost where my friends and I share music online.

You don't have to join or anything, but you might want to trawl back through recent entries and maybe pick up some indie music along the way!

Re: Indie/Alternative?

[svimmelhet]

Oh, but I do want to join! That was basically the whole premise of the AYL community and the website it's based off of (that one is not my doing though). It's actually quite a little tale, I may actually post it there considering it would tie in well with the theme of the community. ;)

Thanks again for that Margot song, I love it too. I think I'm going to have to get some of their music for real now. I can't convince myself to pay money for albums of artists everyone and their mother knows, but I'll always happily forsake a few meals and knickknacks for the sake of awesome and lesser-known bands! :DD
