I've been enjoying Chet Faker for some electronic alternative lately.

Yeah, its hard to find something like In The Aeroplane Over The Sea from Neutral Milk Hotel.. If you like Singer-/Songwriter-like stuff, check out for expl Revelation Blues from The Tallest Man on Earth

Well unfortunately for you that is a tall order.... The list is vast. I recommend pitchfork.org and last fm. Both will give you what you seek, but you need to do the leg work yourself.Buy some pot, and break out your headphones.

In the same vein as Murder Ballads, them lyrics and chilling melodies. Anyone got ideas?

Abbatoir blues/Lyre of Orpheus is sooooo good.

I like vampire weekend and modest mouse...they are two bands that most alt-rock guys know even though they arent mega popular like U2 or Nirvana or REM or Radiohead and such.

Actually a good band thats not super popular is silversun pickups. They sound like Smashing Pumpkins but with no billie corgan. That can be a good thing for some and bad for others.

You just recommended some of the most run of the mill, generic stuff. SSP are super popular btw..... In the indie community as well as the non indie community.

I know right..... I had to read dudes post twice to make sure he said they aren't popular.... I was like uhh.... Every asshole in skinny jeans listens to Vampire Weekened Modest Mouse..... Gotta let everyone know how deep and off the beaten path they are....
