Anyone have any infectious pop confection recommendations?
Hi! I'm looking for some album recommendations. I'm looking for stuff in the indie-pop/rock range that is extremely infectious, or "pop confections" so to speak. Buelah, the Cardigans' "Life", Apples in Stereo's "Funtrick..." come to mind. But stuff that doesn't get too pretentious or experimental or cheesy sounding. It doesn't all have to be positive and upbeat, it can be bittersweet as well. The Apples later albums just sound like the Beatles... same with Of Montreal. Just good solid indie pop/rock that has good pop-sensibility. Thanks!!
I tend to use eMusic.com to discover and download, but I still haven't found material that surpasses the artists I mentioned... (bands that show up in the "like artist suggestions" for example) |

Infectious? You need some twee pop. My suggestions:
Tullycraft (any) Architecture In Helsinki - In Case We Die The Softies - It's Love All Girl Summer Fun Band - self-titled (the best for last). |

i just picked up camera obscura's 'underachievers please try harder'. female vocals, nice, soft, poppy stuff. i've heard their new one is good but haven't heard it, yet.

Anything by Stereolab or Imitation Electric Piano.
Also i`d recommend Teenage Fanclubs Grand Prix album & Primal Scream's Sonic Flower Groove
