Somehow you lot have never talked about Molly Nilsson. Big shame, big miss. I'm not gonna pull a Gus here, start a big thread entitled "Molly Nilsson Best Pinafores 2007-2019," post about it repeatedly, trying to convince some aging brits with failing livers that they should be converted to supporters of the indie avant-garde of the 2010s. Late life conversions make both sides worse, we all know that.
This is my track of the day though, a bit of a jam if you ask me.
this forum got really far in the sense that it reached the times to exist at once with trad poptimists@wektor less “conceptual” and much more trad-pop = less autistic to my mind, at least, as an artistic approach anyways. perhaps popular music for the autistic masses nonetheless

Fuck…even I know about Mouse on Mars.also @ghost of beiser theres no such thing as an indie avant-garde the whole genre is built upon disavowal until it cannot be resisted. hence why it took so long for them to embrace electro pop and then glitchy aesthetics. even @woops type electronica was a rebellion against the conservatism of indie, from within, and simultaneously as outsiders. Hence no indie rocker knows about Mouse on Mars.
Which is what I was trying to communicate to Gus but he was so stubborn, mozart peasant music is his forte.
and too pure in UKYeah, that one's off base, @thirdform. In the 2000s-2010s, indie rock record stores in NY stocked Mouse on Mars alongside Pavement, Tortoise and Arcade Fire. Hell, there were signed in the States to Thrill Jockey!
Didn't they do an EP or an album even with Mark E Smith?also @ghost of beiser theres no such thing as an indie avant-garde the whole genre is built upon disavowal until it cannot be resisted. hence why it took so long for them to embrace electro pop and then glitchy aesthetics. even @woops type electronica was a rebellion against the conservatism of indie, from within, and simultaneously as outsiders.

Mouse on Mars were a John Peel favourite
bizarre claim from thirdform, i'm just referring to that Molly Nilsson isn't signed to a label
