Sample track: #11, "I Like You"
Dntel- Life is Full of Possibilities
Atmospheric electronica featuring members of Death Cab For Cutie and Figurine.
Sample track: #2, "Anywhere Anyone"
Magnetic Fields- i
Synth-less and syllabically sensational sounds.
Sample track: #10, "In an Operetta"
Interpol- Turn On the Bright Lights
One of my favorites in recent times. Familiar sounding, yet original. Often compared to Joy Division, though Iām not sure why. Instead, imagine if David Byrne and Johnny Marr had a band, but borrowed all their ideas from the Kitchens of Distinction.
Sample track: #10, "The New"
Shins- Chutes Too Narrow
Some catchy pop tunes here. This is what the repeat button on your CD player was made for.
Sample track: #3 "So Says I"
