Not just indie all the time…
-

Classic rock fanaticism done right!
-
Cat Power- Jukebox (Matador)
The singer’s covers and original songs are spot-on.

MGMT – Oracular Spectacular (Sony BMG)
They don’t sound like any other band—they sound like many genres with snippets of sounds resembling a mixture of bands.
-
The Honeydrips – Here Comes the Future (Sincerely Yours)
There is no one genre they’ll fit into. They can’t be pigeonholed. Hypnotic, catchy, and tough to find. Try their website for free samples.
