Scratch

I actually enjoy the songs on Snug Rungs. I had seen you listening to him...a lot. And then when I saw him on e6townhall, I was like hm, and so I checked him out.

I listened to it like 4 times in a row on accident.
I really like The Lighthouse and The Whaler. It's a melodic folk sorta band that's just really good.

The Influencers are decent as well. It's...uh indie rock.

It's because it's fun, I guess!

the singing in most things dubbed 'hipster music' just sounds like yelling

If you listen to the Impaled Peach link above, I don't think you'd think that sounded like yelling.
Sure, there's a lot of terrible independent music. But there's a lot of good music there too, and you can't just ignore all of it because of some.

Also, out of curiosity, what "hipster music" is like that?

(plus this is like more hipster than hipster music, considering most "hipster" bands are on hip indie labels like Domino, Merge, Sub Pop, etc.)

my friend is unhealthily addicted to neutral milk hotel

i reported him to SAP

I, personally, do like Neutral Milk Hotel; however, I can understand how a) one wouldn't like his vocals, considering they're kind of grating and uh yeah, b) one wouldn't like his songs overall, as people have different musical preferences as well as may be disturbed by the subject matter, c) addiction is a concern, as, while I like them a lot, I don't think they're like the "best band ever" or anything. I think liking them that much is unreasonable, especially if it's just for In the Aeroplane over the Sea (which it usually is, being the "entry level hipster album").

(plus NMH is on Merge so they're not independent!)

Does it count if the band is signed to their own record label?

http://nativebells.bandcamp.com/ Amazing indie-pop music with plenty of skilled musicianship and experimental tendencies.

http://traffique.bandcamp.com/ Mostly folky stuff (Peter and the Wolf) with great songwriting and lyrical characteristics.

http://cartonsonore.bandcamp.com/ French guy playing mostly instrumentals. Kind of has an eclectic toy sound to it sometimes.
