Man Zonder Poespas

The self-titled album felt like the story of an innocent boy, Helplessness Blues felt like that boy was heading out into the big world, and Crack-Up feels like the consequences of that, and the loss of innocence.

Fool’s Errand is one of the best tracks on that record for sure.

Maybe Fishmans? I also prefer Carrie & Lowell live over the studio version.

Banger of a song, and their only song after Whenever, If Ever that I really care about.

It makes me so happy when I see someone else recommending Brìghde! I got sold on The Reeling years ago because I read about it on Quietus, and she has been a fav of mine ever since.

Radiohead! Proceed with caution, not all of their albums are rock music.

I’m one of the weirdos buying into the hype of black midi, BCNR and Squid as well. Give them a shot. black midi is probably the most experimental of the bunch.

There’s also Interpol, Arcade Fire, The National: the usual suspects. Dismemberment Plan, The Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree. Some more recent indie rock: Pinegrove, Hop Along, Indigo de Souza.

Your mileage may vary, of course, but they’re some of my favorites.
