This thread is absolutely terrific, thank you, but my bank account says "not so much". +1 @doni for Molly Tuttle who I have also recently discovered. @dz13 nice list but if you are going to mention Shirley Manson you better ad Chrissie Hynde to that list. Now I am not going to go out on limb say the bond and comradeship of the three artist I would like to add to the list approaches the bond that did clearly exist between Linda, Emmy, and Dolly. But Marissa Nadler, Angel Olsen, and Sharon Van Etten do appear on one another albums occasionally, have been on tour together at one time or another, and generally seem to be credited with being at the top of the Indie scene right now. Plus there does seem to be a strong appreciation for one another’s musical direction that is evident after listening to entire catalog of each artist. |

There are many more.including the ones you mentioned. I could add Beth Ditto, Dominique Durand (Ivy), Jenny Lewis, Snail Mail, Soccer Mommy, Bat for Lashes, Ani Defranco, Debbie Harry, Ari Up (Slits), Grace Jones, Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), Tracy Tracy (The Primitives), Cindy Williams and Kate Pierson (B52s) . . .
But I won't. :) |
Well, I think you forgot to not mention Hannah Joy of Middle Kids she is a talented singer songwriter and a novice composer from what I gleaned from a interview a few years back. Complex and nuanced Indie rock, especially with latest LP, that will take a couple listening sessions before it sounds right but it is definitely worth the effort.
