The Top 3 Indie Rock Debut Albums Since 2008
Indie rock music continues to make its imprint in the music world, and a deep one at that. With so many new bands emerging, it seems like this trend will continue to evolve, and fans are naturally grateful for it. 2008 and 2009 have been some great years, marked by many new bands making their way into the scene. This article will mention some of the best debut albums this period has brought us.
While I could easily name 15 or 20 great debuts during the last two years, I'm only going to focus on three during this article. This will require a lot of thought, since so many albums are worthy of mention here.
The three articles that I choose to discuss are all wonderfully crafted albums that all music lovers should listen to. If you've never heard of these bands, you're in for a treat as soon as you do.
I can remember the first time I heard For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver. This was one of those albums that made an immediate impact when I first heard it, and well over a year later I'm still listening to this album regularly.
This is an album that consists of some great songs from beginning to end. Standout tracks like "Flume", "Skinny Love", and others quickly became indie rock staples after the album was released.
If you haven't heard Vampire Weekend's self titled debut album, I'd suggest doing so right away. The release is over a year old at this point, but it's one of the best and most innovative albums I've heard in recent memory. This is a must listen if you're unfamiliar with the band's work.
The final album that makes the cut for me was a classic in my mind the moment I first heard it. The self titled debut by Fleet Foxes was unique, charming, haunting, nostalgic, and modern all at once. This great mix of styles has harmonies that happen to be some of the best I've ever heard.
These are all instant classics in my mind, and worthy of repeated listens.
