Doves:

  1. Kingdom of Rust
  2. 10:03
  3. Compulsion
  4. Push Me On
  5. Here it Comes
  6. The Man Who Told Everything
  7. The Cedar Room
  8. Valley
  9. Almost Forgot Myself
  10. Snowden
  11. Sky Starts Falling
  12. There Goes The Fear
  13. Pounding
  14. Caught By The River

The Boxer Rebellion:

  1. Diamonds
  2. Always
  3. Caught By The Light
  4. Flashing Red Light Means Go
  5. Soviets

Beach House:

  1. Everything from their Album "Bloom", but especially Myth, Lazuli, Other People, Wishes

Real Estate:

  1. Everything on their latest album "Atlas"

The Zolas:

  1. Ancient Mars
  2. Cab Driver

Jets Overhead:

  1. This Way
  2. No Nations
  3. I Should be Born
  4. Tired of the Comfort
  5. Seems So Far

Just a sampling.  I'll post more from the other bands later.  You should remember, though, these aren't pop bands who typically produce an album with 1 or 2 good songs that are released as singles, and the rest of the album is lame.  These bands have whole albums that I can easily listen to over and over.  The new Charlatans album, "Modern Nature" is a perfect example.  It's just brilliant!

i am not a big fan of indie rock much, i listen to lounge and electronic music, as well as mostly non english speaking music (folk, rock, ska punk, jazz, triphop)

 

i tried the 2 The Zolas tracks, as that is the only band you gave only 2 recommendations from.

i can see myself enjoying them as background music while doing stuff.  seem very pleasing to the ears.

 

i will have to check the rest later

Yes, I just discovered them!  Very good; for right now, it's the only way to get my new 'Doves' fix.

Finally around to listening to this.

 

Liked Doves, Box car rebellion and beach house, Zolas and jet over head, are ok, just a bit too mellowish for me

    • take your console only release and shove it. i sold my ps5 as my pc wipes the floor with it, at the point of sale i didn't envisage being ignored by one of the biggest and wealthiest developers ever because they simply can't be bothered to support a loyal user base. as i only played the single player versions, i'll be obtaining this "free" when it eventually reaches PC as an afterthought to pay for their christmas party drinks in 2029. screw me, screw you cockstar
    • Apart from Early Hiccups on Windows 11 on first install on October 6th 2021 on my old Intel 10700 daily use Desktop PC at the time, used to have issue with Bluetooth suddenly no longer working and only fix back then was always another clean install--then would work for a while. Transition to 2024 when i decided to finally upgrade that system for better support for Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 6 later on, opted for next daily use Gaming Desktop AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and Radeon 7800XT OC 16GB. No major problems at all with this desktop, OS was clean installed way back on 10/8/2025 not long after 25H2 released. Overall i've been happy with Windows 11 Pro from the start, even minor little quirks didn't sway me. Heck i even use Windows 8 and upgraded immediately upon release back then on my old HP P6-2133W Desktop, and while the specs of that machine didn't give me top notch performance--i still was able to do what i wanted to, without too many slowdowns. Windows ME i didn't use on any of my personal systems back in the day, kept those systems on 98SE til XP released, and grabbed that immediately on release date. Kept XP til Vista Released then upgraded immediately, kept Vista til Windows 7 released, then updated immediately again
    • Broadcom: dreadful company who is destroying VMware by pricing it out of the market.
    • To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.
