Forget "Indie Sleaze"-revival...when are we getting plain old "Indie" revival?
When I think of "indie" music, I think of bands like The Shins, Death Cab, Arcade Fire, and like Rilo Kiley or something lol. For me, this was my entrance to it all! I don't think I would be who I am now if my snapback-wearing beiber-bang-rocking hockey-playing self didn't hear "New Slang" at a very impressionable point in my life.
Until recently I thought I was an Oh, Inverted World guy but it turns out I may actually be a Chutes Too Narrow guy. I still love that album of course, but I think songs like "So Says I" and "Kissing The Lipless" distill their specific style of bright rock music & James Mercer's vocal delivery better than the others.

Slow pulp is one of my favorite bands so I’m a little biased, but i Personally think it’s gives off that 90s movie Protagonist Feel. Very euphoric and lively beat/instrumentals but the lyrics are the epitome of that sorta coming of age and figuring out life vibe.

I know this is a very basic answer, but they are legendary and historically indie band. I love a lot of their songs such as There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now, Ask, etc.
I would also recommend JPEGMAFIA. While he is a rapper, he is technically indie. So that is just a little recommendation there.

tomorrow PI.FYI launches to the public
this project is the result of thousands of hours spent coding everything from scratch after I got laid off six months ago
no thiel-bucks or weirdo outsider money, just a pure desire to make something fun and true to Perfectly Imperfect’s day one goal of helping people find new things from real human beings, not algorithms or AI
a pure labor of love that I’ve been quietly plotting for two years and it’s completely self-funded from my (rapidly) dwindling savings account
so thank you for coming along for this weird ride 🫶 let's see where it goes
