Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

Phoenix are undoubtedly one of my favourite indie bands and their
latest album 'Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix' is absolute quality.

The track above is called '1901'.

Little Dragon - Machine Dreams

Swedish band Little Dragon have recently released their second album
'Machine Dreams'. I really liked their self-titled debut but I can't
get enough of this new release.
 
It's electronic, down-tempo, trip-hop. Amazing stuff.

Lone - Lemurian

Lone lists two of his greatest influences on his music as Boards of Canada and Madlib. Which I guess kind of makes sense as his sound is a cross between electronica and hip hop. It's an interesting combination, he pulls it off really well.

Friendly Fires

These guys seem to be getting a lot of hype at the moment. Especially
just having been nominated for the coveted Mercury Music Prize.
Electro tinged indie does seem to be popular at the moment though.
 
Personally I really like 'Strobe'...

Bibio

Bibio is difficult to pigeonhole, his music is electronic, folk inspried, some call it 'folktronic'. I just call it good.

Passion Pit

This is one of those bands I should find really annoying but I don't.

I guess they fall somewhere in between MGMT and hot chip.

Electronic, catchy, a little cheesey, but very cool.

This is I've got your number...
