kohenari:

After a conversation with some of my students over lunch today, I have to ask:

Is there anyone making good music today who wasn’t also making music ten or more years ago, when these students were ten years old?

LTMC: Here’s 25 in no particular order/genre: Sharon Van Etten, Daughter, Cold Specks, The 1975, Bon Iver, Flying Lotus, Gregory Alan Isokov, The Bronx, Fidlar, After The Burial, Protest The Hero, Between The Buried And Me, The Lumineers, Adele, Sleigh Bells, Kimbra, Banks, FKA Twigs, Lykke Li, iwrestledabearonce, Company of Thieves, Dead Sara, St. Vincent, Kendrick Lamar.

Your mileage may vary with a lot of these, since I’m into everything from acid Jazz to Deathcore.

2. mrcoolguy22 answered: I’d say Arcade Fire, Bon Iver, and The Antlers. For a folky feel, I’d add The Fleet Foxes.

20. madsewer answered: Sure, heaps. But it’s hard to find because the media wants to blow the trumpets of recognised bands (it’s safer).
21. glottalstopit answered: DeLeon! ilovedeleon.com/album/d… It’s a Sephardic indie rock group, but they did form 8 years ago, which is close to 10.
22. jailbreakthepatriarchy answered: Janelle Monae
23. genericlatino-blog answered: Depends on what you’re interested in when it comes to music. I admit that I like a lot of weird stuff which is probably not good.
24. thgiledelirium answered: Swedish band called “First Aid Kit”. Lorde. Arcade Fire. Vampire Weekend. This may have been rhetorical, but plenty of folks, realistically.
