God, I love this stuff:

Hot Chip,

MSTRKRFT,

DFA,

Shiny Toy Guns.. just to name few.

Who digs this sheit??
 
Hot Chip is fucking awesome

I love The Juan Maclean too. The band puts on such a fucking dope ass live show.
 
yea its the shiet, check out !!! (and yes there name is !!!) theyre sick to.. never heard of DFA tho, ill check them out
 
Because it has synths in! how the hell is MSTRKFT not electro enough? There are a lot of new 'electro' acts around at the moment, some are almost indie, some are almost dance, I don't care, most of them rock.

Others to listen to -

Justice

Teddybears

CSS

The Rapture

Death From Above 1979 (especially the remix album)

Ratatat

Hot Chip fucking rules, I saw some of the set at Coachella and then a DJ set the other night.

 
its funny how everytime someone makes a thread on this there are many arguements about what genres certain bands are.

but i like the sounds, shiny toy guns, ladytron, etc. i donno what exact genre they belong too but whatever
 
Yeah seriously. Stop trying to define genres and take a thread for what it is. By the artists mentioned you can clearly what the person who started the thread is trying to get at.
 
Just saying, not trying to be argumentative. I'd just call it indy.

Some of the new stuff coming out is okay, but I tend to go old school if you're talking electro-rock kinda stuff.

Velvet underground started getting into this, but it was with nico, and nico is, well.. no replacement for Lou.
 
A lot of them could also be called 'dance-punk' or 'nu-rave' or 'electroclash' or whatever, it's hard to define lots of bands as a certain genre, cause lot's of them are very different. I think I know what the thread starter means though, and I agree with him!

 
indie all sounds the same, electonic all sounds the same. I can dig me some hot chip songs here and there, but other than that its just same old indie garbage.
 
Not sure if these bands fall under the genre youre talking about, but bands like the postal service, headphones, love arcade, etc...
 
Just got the new Justice album, it is the sickness. It's a bit of a grower, ie I wasn't initially loving it, but now it's all good.
 
justice's new album is good. im not sure if phoenix is considered electronic but they are good too. if you like girl talk check out popstatic, it's an eloquent and noted rip off.
 
Fujiya & miyagi, lemon jelly, for tet, air, ladytron, telepopmusik, lcd soundsystem, hot chip, fischerspooner, moving units, soft cell, new order, !!!, depeche mode, 10cc 

 
I saw them in montreal a couple weeks ago, they opened for peter bjorn & john.

fujiya and miyagi are a fucking excellent group. Au Revoir Simone also opened, they too have much talent and I really enjoyed them.

but yes, im all for indie electronic stuff, bands like "The Mary Onettes" just to name one are astonishing.
 
Alice in Videoland?    I wouldn't call it indie elctronica but some of you called the sounds and shiny toy guys indie elctronica whihc i don't think works either......anyways these guys are like realy elctronical.....but its has consitent volcals liek a real song. 
 
Anyone like Brothers Past? Philly based band that absolutely KILLS it, especially live. They put together incredible albums. This Feeling's Called Goodbye is incredible.
 
CHECK THIS ALBUM!

my favorite album of this so called genre has been the death from above remix album epsecially the MSTERKRFT remix that got me started into this type of music
 
hot chip did a set in newcastle Uk a couple of weeks ago and they were distinctly average, love electro but they were so amateur it was a joke, shame because their tracks were decent
 
Was it a DJ set? Cause I've seen the live act and it's awesome, but the dude couldn't DJ for shit the other week in Portsmouth, didn't even attempt to mix, some good tunes though.
 
prob the same thing maybe they were doing a uk tour, yeah dj was shit, the transfer from song to song was shit, at times silent
 
I have been without access to music (both stores and downloading) for like 4 months. This thread made me so incredibly excited to go check out everything mentioned. I can't wait!!!! I have a list of 53 albums so far. Wish my ipod was bigger...
 
I got a another firey one for you guys. I'm sure some of you have probably heard of them, but the band is 2020 Soundsystem. They are tight as fuck. Very LCD Soundsystem-esque. From England. These guys are unreal.

Sounds like: LCD Soundsystem, New Order, The Faint

ratatat is really good, and i think shiny toy guns is pretty indie electronic. hellogoodbye isnt bad, kind of sellout though.
 
Skodeo, again with the quality albums of great music.

What do I have to contribute? Huh... I dunno, I guess if you want some kinda chillout indie sorta electronic you might try the album Feel Good Lost by Broken Social Scene. They did kinda a instrumental / experimental album, I kinda like some of the songs on there.

Also, if you havent heard of MC Chris, get "Fettes Vett", great song.
 
Dude...I LOOOOVE Lotus, such nice cool dudes. I go way out of my way to see them (totally a groupie).. I will upload their album only on the condition that you all support this band in some way possible, go see them live or buy their new live double album "Escaping Sargasso Sea" ( http://www.lotusvibes.com )

They also have A TON of free downloads on Archive.org:

Such a fucking dope ass album. This is the more electronic side of Lotus (dominate side). Their newer stuff has a more indie influence.
