I think I discovered the issue I was having with finding indie music. In hip-hop the most popular stuff is likely the worst, and the best music is a few degrees below that. In indie, the music I enjoy most is the most popular indie which is by definition of indie a few degrees below what is the most popular. So yeah, basically I put way too much thought into this. Anyway, here is a track from Mumford and Sons, a British band which creates beautiful epics such as this one. The band follows the same formula on many of their songs (build up, build up, build up, build up, CLIMAX), but that doesn't make listening to one of their songs any less rewarding. The banjo is an oft-utilized instrument in many of their pieces, giving them a new and unique sound. Sit through this track to the end, you will not be disappointed.

Great song. Tanner, you have beat Rolling Stone in featuring two of their best new artists of 2010 before they released it. (The other being B.o.B.). Others include Free Energy (70s style arena rock), The Dirty Heads (Reggae Rock), Grace Potter & the Nocturnals (Jam band),Titus Andronicus (Punk), Neon Indian (Electro Pop)
Thanks Pete. I've been sitting on songs by Free Energy and Titus Andronicus for about a month now, just haven't had the chance to write anything up yet.
