Keep this out of my thread please ^^ It's pointles having this thread if people just post a band name.

 

 

------------

 

 

My new discovery is Múm, they aren't exactly a new unheard of band which is what makes them perfect for me to show what I meant for this thread to be, much like in my first post where I explained a bit about the band and even linked to some music.

 

I found Múm (pronounced "moom") when talking to one of my friends, they are Icelandic which naturally draws comparisons to Sigur Rós and I can see the comparison...slightly. Múm are a much more upbeat kind of band, not that they are really happy, merely that they are less despondent than Sigur Rós I find them much more accessible than Sigur Rós as well, as much as I appreciate their musical genius I just find them hard to actually sit and listen to Múm don't have this problem, they also incorporate a lot more "happy" sounding instruments and synths into the songs, makes for a great listening experience. I'd strongly suggest listening to their album "Go Go Smear The Poison Ivy" the current stand out song for me is "Dancing Behind My Eyelids"

Hopefully this sets an example for what I actually want people to do in this thread.

^I like them!

I've been listening to Finally We Are No One & Yesterday Was Dramatic Today Is OK.

I haven't heard other albums though.

Modest Mouse... I've never listened to this band before, but one of my friends was showing me some songs, and they're pretty good!

 

 

...I like the vocals... the band is quite trippy :smoking:...haha

If you guys don't check out Owl City I wil beat you up. :evil:

 

Other than that, have a nice day :cheesy:

 

But they are so happy and catchy, I am like obsessed.

 

They have 2 songs on iTunes right now, I cant upload a Youtube video because Youtube doesnt work on this computer.

An other cool french band that sing in english... They are not 'new' but they do a really joyfull music ^^

 

(sorry, the integration mode is desactived, you have to click on the preview to go on youtube and watch it!)

 

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

 

They are really cool live and very nice!

 

I kinda discovered them also but it's more this song that I can't seem to get out my head at all. I haven't checked out their albums at all though. It's this song:

Friday night I rediscovered the song Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus. And I've been like obsessed with it since. And I played it for one of my friends, and she's like obsessed with it too. I love rediscovering old songs! :D

They're playing here for the first time ever in August. But its on a Monday and I'll be at camp. So pissed that I'm going to miss it grrrr

 

 

What songs/albums have you checked out?

You're gping to Owl City?!?!

I'm so jealous :bigcry:

Explosions in the Sky.

They're awesome. Pretty good post-rock, and very emotive songs. Their songs tend to have a climax... perfect for relaxing.

i'm discovering Devotchka and final fantasy as lastfm suggest them to me

 

i will post some vids later

^They're both really great. I really love "Charlotte Mittnacht (The Fabulous Destiny Of...)"by DeVotchKa and "Your Light Is Spent" by Final Fantasy. :wacko:

i still listenned to only two songs for both and can't remember the name

but i liked it

 

i will give a listen to those

thanks for the advice :)

btw they almost have the same style as Beirut and Arcade Fire :)

Final Fantasy wrote all the strings for Beirut's Flying Cup Club, I've never actually listened to him though, I probably should

He's such a great musician.

... discovered many bands this year when trying to listen all new albums of this year (sky larkin, kleerup, the young knives ... ), and giving a listen to indie music made here... (deluxe, russian red, la habitación roja ...).

but the most recent band that i've discovered is Ceesau.
