Shabby look, more friendly, older indie.

Mature

With the new music, we decided to put an emphasis on harmony, simple three- and four-part block harmony.

There is no lead singer in Fleet Foxes. There are guitars, bass, drums, an electric piano, the occasional cello or string of chimes, and many voices. Everyone’s voice is an instrument.

Their posture is relaxed

Much more calmer.

The Wombats’ new album charts at Number Three behind Adele

May 1st 2011

They seem ‘fun’ only three people again, very intimate, almost like brothers, the Jonas’ brothers.

Seem they would appeal to a younger audience.

less indie an more pop indie, for a broader audience.


Their music has been loosely compared to the likes of Death Cab for Cutie and Broken Social Scene but without a definitive capacity to be pigeon-holed. Melodic vocals, which hail from all three members of the outfit, infuse with guitar riffs that have been described as “oceanic” and rhythm described as “pulsing“. To get the symbolism out of the way, take your seats; it’s going to be a blockbuster!
After selling out headline tours in the UK, US, Europe, Australia, Japan and South America the band have deservedly earned both a devoted word-of-mouth live following and huge critical acclaim. The Times have called them “the band of the moment” and NME declared that they have “quietly become one of the UK’s best loved bands.”

The Vaccines – Indie Quartet

FACTS

Formed only one year ago.

“In fact, the Vaccines had the luck to offer a brand of terse, attitudinizing, catchy rock at a time when there’s little of it on the British charts. Music Week – the U.K.’s answer to Billboard – has singled out 2010 as the worst year for rock songs on the British singles charts in half a century. (Only three songs in that genre cracked their Top 100).”
