Indie dance genre recommendations? (1 Viewer)

[17seconds]

The last couple of years I've really enjoyed the Indie Dance genre after subscribing to a Pandora station. It gives me hope that there's still great music being made, love it.

It's hard to find new bands who make this kind of music and the Pandora station keeps playing the same stuff. Anybody got some recommendations of stuff like this:

Passion Pit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVstHPhaJ6M

Two Door Cinema Club https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PorW3y5n1w

The Neighbourhood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCdwKhTtNNw

Neon Indian https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo6ZaCTqxwM

M83 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX3k_QDnzHE

Not really sure what "indie dance" means, but my wheelhouse includes pretty much all of the bands on your list above (never heard of the last one). Maybe try the following, in no order:

Purity Ring

St. Lucia

Still Corners

Holy Ghost

Miami Horror

I Break Horses

CHVRCHES

Javelin

Phantogram

 

[John Bender]

Parachute Youth - Can't Get Better Than This

 

[John Bender]

Naked and Famous - Eyes or Young Blood

 

[Steve Tasker]

Naked and Famous - Eyes or Young Blood

This is a good suggestion.

Not really sure what "indie dance" means,

Me neither - that's what Pandora calls it. Why it makes it hard to find more, there's no real genre name.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Also, Cut/Copy and LCD Soundsystem if you're not familiar with them.

I was also going to recommend Purity Ring and Phantogram. Perhaps ODESZA and Matt & Kim might fit what you are looking for as well.

 

[John Bender]

Yeah - definitely Matt & Kim IMO

 

[John Bender]

and of course, just about anything by MGMT. They rock this genre.

 

[John Bender]

Phoenix - If I Ever Feel Better

 

[nirad3]

Phoenix - If I Ever Feel Better

One of me and my wife's favorites. Been seeing them live for years now.

Not sure if they qualify, but maybe Panic at the Disco?

Yeah I got into MGMT when Oracular Spectacular came out, but only recently found there are a lot of others doing similar music.

Thanks for the recommendations, haven't heard of a lot of these.

 

[Sinn Fein]

I am partial to the Safety Dance

 

[Steve Tasker]

Phoenix - If I Ever Feel Better

Agreed on Phoenix and Matt & Kim.

 

[El Floppo]

Tasker and friends.
