The Best Indie Debuts Since 2008

November 15th, 2009 by Jonathan Park Leave a reply »

Indie rock music continues to make its imprint in the music world, and a deep one at that. With so many new bands emerging, it seems like this trend will continue to evolve, and fans are naturally grateful for it. 2008 and 2009 have been some great years, marked by many new bands making their way into the scene. This article will mention some of the best debut albums this period has brought us.

This article will only focus on three of the best debuts during this period, which will naturally be very challenging. There’s been such a great amount of new music during these last two years, and many exceptional new bands will be left out of this conversation.

Anyway, let’s give this a whirl. If you haven’t heard any of these albums for any reason, I’d recommend giving them a listen as soon as you possibly can.

I can remember the first time I heard For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver. This was one of those albums that made an immediate impact when I first heard it, and well over a year later I’m still listening to this album regularly.

Justin Vernon is his real name, and he penned the entire album in a state of seclusion while in the woods of Wisconsin. The effort paid off big time, as Vernon is now a household name in the indie world.

The next album in my trio of newer debut classics is the first release by Vampire Weekend, a New York band with influences that span the world. One of the most unique blends of music I’ve ever heard, the band successfully mends styles that you never thought could go well together.

The final album on my list my very well be my favorite. If you’re already immersed in the indie world, there’s a very good chance that you’ve already heard last year’s debut album by Fleet Foxes. This was one of the most well received albums of 2008.

If you haven’t heard any of these albums, there’s no doubt in your mind that you’ll enjoy them.
