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.
If you haven't heard Vampire Weekend's self titled debut album, I'd suggest doing so right away. The release is over a year old at this point, but it's one of the best and most innovative albums I've heard in recent memory. This is a must listen if you're unfamiliar with the band's work.
The final album that makes the cut for me was a classic in my mind the moment I first heard it. The self titled debut by Fleet Foxes was unique, charming, haunting, nostalgic, and modern all at once. This great mix of styles has harmonies that happen to be some of the best I've ever heard.
These are all instant classics in my mind, and worthy of repeated listens.
