Indie Rock Records - Best Of The Last 7 Years....
soak:
We are on to the second page without mentioning the shins!!! Have you people never seen Garden State!!!
Seriously though -
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
The Mountain Goats - The Sunset Tree
Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah - S/T
Calexico / Iron + Wine - In The Reins
Chesire Cat:
Dont get me wrong, I like The Shins. but they didnt age well. And no I havemt seen Garden State, also they arent very rock, mostly just indie. At least to me, indie is a modifier used on existing genres, in this threads, case rock. So dont challenge our collective indie cred, it is beyond reproach.

:-D haha
I've never once heard The Shins, I suppose I should remedy that. I also haven't seen Garden State, although I did think about renting it a few times. I'm such a n00b.
- 302 Indie Cred. ;(
chamberk:
The Shins are very pleasant to listen to, but I'd hardly say they're required listening, and Garden State is certainly not required watching.
I like both, though.
kablaaamo:
What chamberk said. Honestly. I have both Shins records and for a time, I listened to them a lot...but I rarely feel the need to listen to them now.
Not sure if it qualifies as rock, but check out anything by Destroyer, especially Streethawk: A Seduction and his latest, Rubies.
Malajube - Tromp-L'oeil is beyond excellent, as is their first album, Le Compte Complet. All the lyrics are in french, but that doesn't matter because they're just SO GOOD otherwise.
Of Montreal - Satanic Panic in the Attic; more indie pop than indie rock but this record is like crack.
Spooooooon. This thread has no Spoon love. Girls Can Tell, Kill the Moonlight and Gimme Fiction are all recent and all good. (Gimme Fiction is my favourite though.)
Wax Mannequin - The Price. DO NOT mix up Wax Mannequin and Jack's Mannequin. Not the same! Wax is one of my favourites and his albums can't really be found in stores; download....then see him when he tours! (This is constantly...if you're in Canada. I hope you're in Canada for this reason.) One of the best live acts I've ever seen.
I also second the mentions of:
the Wrens - the Meadowlands
the Weakerthans - Left and Leaving (I've been listening to this one all afternoon myself)
Yo La Tengo - I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass (was listening to it all morning, hah)
Architecture In Helsinki - In Case We Die
and any of the Hold Steady and TV on the Radio (I don't have a favourite record of either.)
