At the risk of coming off as a complete douche... I have a concept album.

I'll link it if you want.

The Dream is a concept piece that I stitched together with some various sound effects, drum loops, and a couple backers from around the net. Guitar oriented, and incredibly self absorbed, it tells the tale of an entities struggle to become something better and more aware.

I posted this up here at MB a couple years ago, but I won't link that so your opinion isn't biased. Let me know if you have any problems.

I think Grizzly Bear's Shields is a concept album, and it sounds like prog indie so it has that going for it. And I don't know if they count but Foxygen said that We are the bladeblah was supposed to be the only "end of the world" album for 2012, and lyrically they thread certain motifs or references throughout the record.

Spacemen 3 - The Perfect Prescription
An album charting the highs and lows of a drug trip. Brimming with confidence and swagger in the early parts of the album before hitting an almighty peak with their cover of Red Krayola's 'Transparent Radiation'. Eventually the album reaches it's dark and lonely conclusion with 'Call the Doctor', with the victim perhaps suffering the effects of an overdose.

any of the acts from The Dear Hunter, but preferably "Act IV". It's great!
