rather than making a new thread about it, has anyone bought the new Metric album yet? I've listened to one track off it on myspace and it sounded pretty dope, is it worth the buying?

I agree with mostly all of this thread, i am def. an indie music whore, but i can't believe that RILO KILEY hasn't been mentioned. definitely legit, especially their album The Execution of All Things.

any pavement album should suit you very well.  i'd start with wowee zowee or brighten the corners.
if you can find it, "wonderue" by little wings is a great little indie pop album
