Honestly, it's not really an indie rock song. It's an indie rock band that decided to make a pop album, which is interesting.

put a fork in em theyre done

My Spoon argument, pt. 854. I quite like pre-00s Spoon, but 00s and on Spoon may as well be an entirely different band, one that has consistently shit on any good will I had left for them.

OMG this fucking Spoon track. I want to pull out my ears. UGH UGH UGH UGH UGH UGH.

this song sounded like a crazy anomaly in the spoon sound when it turned up on spotify shuffle

but it was just as calmly, efficiently, decently dull as all their music

like I say, the indie that appears here is not necessarily representative of what indie can do

Didn't go back to the Spoon album at all really but this was the highlight.

an indies idea of what pop is is maybe the most telling and horrific display of all

Is that supposed to be some sort of cutlery pun?

I like Spoon well enough. There, you can call them indie if you like. They've never released a perfect album, but there are always a few choice cuts from each release. This is the one that stuck out most the one time I listened through to the latest one. Similar vibe to 'Us & Them' by Pink Floyd crossed with 'Huey Newton' by St Vincent.

lol xp

I was very into Spoon for a while in the 2000s but I've quite definitively stopped caring about them. This is fine I guess. I like when the harp suddenly appears.

I think Spoon is the first track I've actually had to turn off before the end?

I wish Kitchen Person had said this.

I see you've played knifey-spoony before.

I love how Britt Daniel keeps thinking he'll make his band more popular by writing crappier songs.

xxpost yeah, or forks

break out of character for me

this track is kinda nice in a never-listen-to-again kind of way

Fer crying out loud, these indie rock tracks are giving me dysentery. Absolutely sickening and disgusting.

Oh no, wait, I turned off Duke Dumont too.

xp to me

this really epitomises plodding, ponderous journeyman indie to me. ugh, the culture that pitchfork created

idgi, this is one of the most inoffensive things here.

Well this list went downhill fast...

don't really listen to much indie any more, but played the shit out of this Spoon lp. this was one of my least faves on it though.

but....they are more popular

this is the 'ballad' on the album tbf.

really smh that spoon have better p4k/p&j stats than most everything else that has placed so far

No, I mean I think the guy has totally unrealistic expectations about them being a huge band. That's why he keeps trying to sign to major labels. "It's gonna work this time, I can feel it!"

more like wooden spoon amirite

spoon? dorks more like

xp what are you talking about, they signed to a major once in the 90s when everyone did and one more time like 15 years later

Plodding, ponderous journeyman indie was a well established genre before the world wide web.

I'm pleased to note there's 6 acts named Fork, the most popular being a Norwegian hardcore band.

hey heeey marry me aaarrrchieeee

lol all the hate on indie, haven't seen this big of a closet since I was in Catholic school.

xp Yeah, and most pragmatic and reasonable artists would get the hint the first time.

next result y/n?

im ready

y :)

i dig that alvvays song, good find
