San Andreas fault by Natalie merchant

Adrianne lenker (both big thief and solo stuff, fave songs: zombie girl, steamboat)
Samia (fave songs: something in the movies, kill her freak out)
fka twigs (not really rock but Iâm getting carried away. sadness of her discog varies. magdalene is an important album to who I am. fave sad songs are water me and home with you)
skullcrusher (whatever fits together is one of my favorite songs ever)
mitski (bury me at makeout creek is perfect to me)
the album songs to break up to by ta-ku is more electronica than indie but it saw me thru some bullshit in the 2010s.
snail mail (my fave song is speaking terms)
the national is music for sad dads but theres some strong overlap there i think (fave songs: i need my girl, blood buzz Ohio, dark side of the gym)

Gazpacho only in the late summer, persimmons only in the winter, etc. just because we can import anything from anywhere anytime doesnât mean we should. Nothing is special if you can have it whenever you want it.
