Yep I know you struggle with contemporary "indie" but thanks for the input.
BC and DDG (and VG) just missed the cut for me. Like I said, my picks are pretty tentative so on any other day.
The little Warpaint I've heard didn't grab me initially. I may have to give them another shot. I know they have a couple of very vocal supporters here.
Liminanas and The Mantles I haven't heard so I'll definitely give them a listen. I'll probably even find the Slumberland leanings a positive.

Not only do the Mantles sometimes sound like they really want to sign to Slumberland, they have indeed done so, and have released two albums on the label. My sieve-like memory tends to associate them with Mexican Summer, which they only released one or two records on. Anyway, I'm pretty sure you'd like them.

Cheers Doc. I remember hearing La Luz in a shop once and really liking them. Been meaning to look into them further.
The Vaccines didn't really do a lot for me and again as with Ty Segall (above) I always associated Allah-Las more with Garage Rock/Psych revival. Will check out the other two.

Not sure I've heard it either, but was sort of what I was hoping to get at and better the "Nu"-Indie-Pop. I would probably agree Vivian Girls were one of the first of this new wave.
Will check out Las Robertas when I get a chance.

- Summertime
- Lust For Life
- Hellhole Ratrace
Though I do quite like their two later releases, my high rating of them is based almost solely on
Album
, a strong contender for my favorite of the last 10 years.

I just assumed "Honey Bunny" would have been one of the two.
They're one of those bands that I can listen to all of their output, but those two singles to me are excellent.
Shake it down shake it down shake it down now. -

Actually not a big fan of "Honey Bunny". Outside the debut I quite like "Carolina" (from
Broken Dreams Club
), "Just a Song" (from
Father, Son, Holy Ghost
) and the single "Lawrence" (inspired by/dedicated to the Felt frontman).

Cool, Cults, Dum Dum Girls and TPoBPaH would make my Top 10 or close. Unfortunately I found Alvvays a little dull but I may give them another chance. Not familiar with Papercuts or Widowspeak.
