What 2010s albums will be considered "indie essentials"

Lonerism

>>69823634
>>69823664
These are all correct
Along with Get to Heaven

>>69823634
Strange Mercy is definitely going to be an indie essential of the 10's. I think some other likely contenders are the suburbs, halcyon digest and giles corey.

The Idler Wheel, Benji. I'd love to say Halcyon Digest but I feel like that's forgotten.

>>69823634
Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused To Sing

Knife Man
Twin Fantasy
Xiu Xiu's new album

>>69823634
lonerism
mvotc
db - black metal
ariel pink pom pom
grimes - AA
john maus - we the piltovers
carseat headrest - tf
sun kil moon - benji

I've thought about this. Like, if I were to make a documentary about indie music (whatever "indie" even means these days) in the 2000s, the albums I'd feel obligated to cover are pretty obvious. Kid A, Is This It, Funeral, Illinoise, Turn On The Bright Lights, MPP, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Sound of Silver, For Emma Forever Ago, Fleet Foxes, The Boxer, etc. Albums that had a lot of critical success + enough cultural impact (at least among hipsters) to stay in the conversation for quite awhile after its release. But with 2010s I draw a blank. Like, MVotC, do people even talk or care about that album anymore, only 3 years later? I don't know.

Are you joking? These are all mainstream poptimist Reddit shit. Especially tame impala. They will be remembered in the same way joke 80's one hit wonders are. They're insincere corporatized fads.

The only artist who will be remembered ITT so far is Ariel Pink but his best work wasn't even done in this decade

>funeral
without you forgot it in people there would be no funeral

>>69823990
Ok, so what would you like to contribute?

>>69824019
For sure, that was just a general list off the top of my head. BSS would have to be featured.

>>69824022
Nothing. The 2010's has been a dry well for pop music. Nothing but tame impala burger records garbage, shit surf punk, and nu pop rnb. Literal trash. There are several underground albums of value though, but they aren't popular.

I miss when /mu/ was elitist. It didn't permit bottom feeders like you who think p4k core like radiohead is art

Old /mu/ was mostly just metal, and then it switched to Pitchfork and Radiohead worship immediately. I've been here since day 1 newfag.

>old /mu/
Since when was Tegan and Sara metal?

The Classics Have Just Changed with the times. "Indie" isn't as buzzy or relavent anymore, not to say the quality has fallen...There are many fantastic indie releases within the last 5 years. But just think about the Classics of this Decade:

MBDTF
Have One On Me
The Suburbs
Bon Iver, Bon Iver
Lonerism
GKMC
Bloom
Channel Orange
Reflektor
Random Access Memories
Modern Vampires
TPaB
Art Angels
Lemonade
Blonde


I hate like half these albums, but this is what the indie kids like these days, it's just not "Indie" in a Rock sense

>>69824100
By old /mu/ I mean like 2007~ not 2011.

The Age of Adz
Will probably go down as Sufjan's Kid A

indie rock - tame impala is shit but probably lonerism, probably mvotc and this is happening like you listed
indie folk - really pray that benji will be, mark deserves it. definitely something from sufjan if he keeps making folk, or if he goes poppier then carrie & lowell. something from bon iver.
indie pop - probably some st vincent work, if she releases nothing better than strange mercy that will be it. probably some crap from beach house, teen dream likely.

Dunno how everyone is forgetting, but:

Titus Andronicus - The Monitor

this thread just proves /mu/ doesn't know shit about music besides what their college radio plays and what pitchfork shits down their throat

Embarrassing thread

I generally agree what's been posted ITT already, I'd add:

Ceres & Calypso and the Deep Time
Helplessness Blues
Melody's Echo Chamber
Sea When Absent

>>69824419
you're describing what "essential indie music" is which is what this thread asked for.

None, the web2.0 has killed the purpose of indie essentials.

Well yeah, you wouldn't make a documentary about grunge set in the 2000s would you?

>>69824164
>The Suburbs
>Reflektor
Arcade Fire peaked with Neon Bible.
they are a shadow of their former glory.
