Music question (Death Cab for Cutie)....?

Question

I'm looking for some bands that are indie...
I love death cab for cutie, so if anyone could give me suggestions for some bands that are similar to death cab's style, i'd appreciate it a lot. thanks

Answer 1

The Postal Service (side project of Death Cab lead singer), Iron and Wine (probably my favorite band), The Decemberists (awesome, their newest album would be a good place to start), Calexico (feast of wire is their best album)... This is the main type of music I listen to, and the Death Cab fans I know agree. There's a link between all of them- Postal Service, as I said, is a side project for the Death Cab guy. Their most popular song is "Such Great Heights", which is a cover of an Iron and Wine song- and Iron and Wine coupled up with Calexico for a whole album. No link to the Decemberists, though. I just really love them. I almost forgot Bright Eyes. Bright Eyes is another good indie choice.


Next time you like an artist, try going to amazon.com and searching an album of theirs. Amazon will list other albums people who liked that bought. For Death Cab they list Arcade Fire, New Pornographers, The Postal Service, Franz Ferdinand, Snow Patrol, Coldplay, and Sufjan Stevens.

Some bands you might like are:

Postal Service
The Promise Ring
The Blow
Tegan and Sara

Rilo Kiley
Mates Of State
Built To Spill

Answer 3

well, i could list a few influences of death cab. pavement, built to spill.

Answer 4

i respect this music, too. The video I bear in options is the guy sitting in his room and a black hollow seems in the floor which keeps getting higher and larger until eventually he's swallowed up and then the hollow disappears.
