Hoho, my time to shine. I'm sure some of you would have heard a bit of this, but I'm just gonna post my favourite shite. Lettuce begin.

The indie stuff:

Bon Iver - For emma, forever ago. Get this album.

Dr. Dog - Heart it races. Cover of the fantastic Architecture in Helsinki song.

Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #4 Kettles. Get this album.

Now for some misc stuff, just general chill out.

Air - Lost in Kyoto. Features in the greatest soundtrack ever made.

The Whitest Boy Alive - All Ears. Not much to say really, just so relaxing.

I could go on for days.

Haven't got that album, and uni network doesn't allow torrents, so I'll have to wait a week before getting it from home. If it's anything like Bon Iver, I'm sure I'll love it, amazing group.

I'm assuming you've listened to the xx, or at least heard some of their stuff. Got their self-titled album on repeat at the moment, great to fall asleep to.

Also, for any soft guitar you might be listening to, try running this in the background.

You're my only friend in this thread, for future reference.

So you haven't heard Little Dragon? Typical FIFA music, has a song on it in fact. Similar to and does a lot of stuff with the Gorillaz.

Not sure if you'll like them, but certainly try their latest album, Ritual Union.

I'm not too good at the ambient side of things, and certainly not a full blown indie, but likewise do enjoy some of the stuff. Tend to prefer electronic stuff though (Air, Chemical Brothers, Cassius)

Finally got around to checking Little Dragon... Given her a tick.

Not the stuff I'd typically listen to, but I do enjoy a bit of.

Almost reminds me of very early Chromeo - but less electronic.

Gives me the same vibe.

Hendo, that track is decent as well.

Jumping on the plugging wagon... Lead singer in this band is in my class at uni.

They've got some Triple J air play, and I can safely say I was solidly impressed by their EP.

Needs more beard tbh. Nice tune though. Sounds like they've taken pretty heavy influence from City and Colour. Or vice versa without knowing much about those guys.

Well City And Colour have been around a lot longer, so you'd probably think they were an influence for The White Album.

These guys are Danish, and have only made the one album/EP.

This is my favourite tune atm.

Good tune, that.

Their name sounds familiar but I'm not sure if I've actually listened to them before or not.
