I'm kind of trailing into the end of an extended indie kick these days. I also discovered some good post rock (I also discovered what post rock was). Songs that grabbed my attention include:
Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjecYugTbIQ
The thing that grabbed me about this song was the organ/piano part that goes throughout.
Yeasayer - Odd Blood - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvsHYRzO8_Q
The lyrics of this song are pretty cool. Ambling Amp is another good song by Yeasayer.
Rogue Wave - Lake Michigan - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nOa1G-uB2A
Love's Lost Guarantee is another good song by Rogue Wave.
Headlights - TV - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuLeIjWOwK4
I really like the chorus of this song: "I can't stand to watch the TV. The liars and the killers keep staring at me."
The Helio Sequence - Keep Your Eyes Ahead - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIicqULYhGw
The drummer for this band is also the drummer for Modest Mouse. His face in this video is hilarious.
El Ten Eleven - My Only Swerving - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBTUAHGpQqE
This is some of the aforementioned post rock. Its really cool that all the guitar and bass parts are done by one guy with a double neck guitar/bass and some looping equipment. Sorry About Your Irony is another good one by El Ten Eleven. Another big post rock group is Explosions in the Sky.
Phoenix - 1901 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiQppszlXrg
This is a little more mainstream, but still great. I really like the distortion at the beginning. Phoenix in general is really good. Love Like a Sunset Parts I and II are excellent, especially when listened to together.
Some other bands that I listened to: Faded Paper Figures, Band of Horses, Delorean.
That's it for now.
