check out Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid (Suite II and III)
not so much indie rock, but very impressive in that it's a soup of genres blended together for a pop act, not to mention the fact that it's a sci-fi concept album.
it's really growing on me. love its creativity and scope.
Dance or Die (ft. Saul Williams)
Tight Rope (ft. Big Boi)
"Oh, Maker" (the first and second verses crush me... kinda fades after that)

The Washington Post's Bill Friskics-Warren praised Monáe's "expansive, high-spirited music" and wrote "Not since the '70s heyday of George Clinton's Parliafunkadelicment Thang has anyone fused science fiction/fantasy and genre-defying funk with such vision and aplomb as Janelle Monáe does on this full-length debut".[13] URB's Dan Vidal gave the album 5 out of 5 stars and described it as "a spectrum of sound — packed and arranged perfectly into a masterfully composed (debut) full-length body of work".[17] Vidal called the album a "genre-defying masterpiece" and praised its "infectious innovation" and "musical importance".[17] Giving it an 8.5/10 rating, Pitchfork Media writer Matthew Perpetua praised The ArchAndroid's musical ambition and called it "about as bold as mainstream music gets, marrying the world-building possibilities of the concept album to the big tent genre-mutating pop of Michael Jackson and Prince in their prime".[9] He commended the album for "style hopping" without "compromising quality or cohesion" and cited André 3000's The Love Below (2003) as "its most recent antecedent", but viewed that "Monáe and her songwriting partners skillfully avoid that album's overreach and missteps, showing a similar level of fearless creativity but with greater focus and discipline"

Last week I had thought of re-titling this thread since we have talked about so much more than the National album stream. Might have to do that.
Yes.

I was finally able to listen to Dr. Dog's, TBK, Band of Horses, Beach House, and The National's albums, and High Violet is my favorite out of them all. I haven't tired of listening to it.
Yeah. It's good, gets better. Might bump that score up.

It's good timing. Sounds like the perfect summer album.

I'm enjoying the new The Radio Dept album as well in addition to all of the other albums pouring out ...
Band of Horses new one hasn't grabbed me yet, but it's serviceable

Early album is great, but it fades a bit.
"Bluebeard" and the title track are great stuff.

Give it a few listens. It had to grow on me. I think my favorite song, which has changed about 3 times, is Mirror, Mirror.
Just got the new BOH from a friend. Gonna give it a listen tonight.
New, "official" video for Black Keys, Tighten Up

and these two are pretty funny, imo. I can't tell if the band was seriously upset about them or not.

The New Pornographers are playing the same venue as my wedding on the same night, and as I've previously mentioned, we invited them to the wedding. We got their reply card this weekend and, sadly, Neko Case will not attend.
Still, they sent a nice note.

Maybe your soon-to-be wife had words with her?
